Before You Go" by julia christi ann This is the song playing nothing by "humans win"

Before I found Jay's review of the Vantrue N4 Pro dash cam, I bought the same model on the strength of a review I found just a few weeks earlier. In that earlier video, there were numerous comparisons with other dash-cam brands that clearly demonstrated how good the Vantrue N4 Pro is in reading normally hard-to-read license plates in moving vehicles. However, in Jay's video, it didn't seem that the Vantrue N4 Pro's front-facing camera was reading license plates as well as in the earlier review. Perhaps settings in Jay's camera were not set at their highest resolution? Nevertheless, I appreciate Jay's coverage of this dash cam and the time he put into producing it. Nice job!

He may not have the HDR settings enabled. This renders the footage actively and makes it more clear between frame by frame

can you disable collision detection i have some very loud subwoofers that would definitely set it off constantly

I am more interested in cams that will record motion when parked and will not drain the power supply. Any recommendations?

Love the video review. Does the OBD2 plug allow the osrking mode to be activated like hard wiring the camera, also, does it activates the parking mode. Finally, does this means not depletes the car battery ? Thank you.

Low voltage protection It has a smart low voltage protection system that will automatically shut off the power to your dash cam when the battery voltage drops to 11.6V or 23.2V, thus preventing it draining the battery.

What software do you use to zoom in and clear up the license plates? A still or a moving car? I just got a dash cam and the Vantrue app doesn’t have those features. Do you use iMovie or Final Cut Pro to do that, or what other software?

@JAYREAD

I’ve never needed or used that kind of software. It’s always been pretty clear.

Thanks for the video. I'm gonna buy one of these (my first dashcam). I've never seen an unboxing on the bonnet of a car before :) Edit: Do you have an Amazon link to the hardwire cable you used? Did you call it an OBD2 connector? I managed to find one that is "OBD to USB C". I've actually never heard of that before and will need to check if my 2015 Hyundai ix20 has that port.

@@JAYREAD Thanks, Jay! I might give it a try. The Vantrue here looks pretty good. A cam that can read license plates seems the only way to go. Some of the videos of dash cams are of such poor quality, you can barely tell what is going on.

Thanks for an excellent review, Jay. Two questions (1) Can the App support two such cameras on two vehicles (2) Amazon reviews have many complaints about the App. What is your opinion? Thanks again.

Hi David and thanks! Yes, the app would be fine with two cameras because it would only detect the one nearest to you. I find the app to work well. Bear in mind, I do t think you’ll use the app much.

That's an unfortunate placement of the inward-facing camera. Your rear-view mirror completely blocks the view of the driver's side window.

Hi Jay . Can you review camera when parking lot. Camera till working or not

Any footage during nighttime?

Hi Jay, Thank you for the video. I have a Vantrue N4 Pro, my first dashcam and it seems to work well. I have watched my dashcam videos with the Vantrue Dashcam Player. My question is how do I prepare videos in the event for evidence? Also how are videos made like yours (not expecting to be as good production quailty), I am not interested in up load to youtube and alike. If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks

@@JAYREAD Not so much how you make videos like yours. When I need to prepare a video for a court or insuance is the main thing. Also Vanture dashcam captures the videos in 3 minute blocks, how to "edit" and package more than a 3 minute sequence. I don't need to add any commentry or images, just the Vanture videos alone. Just the simplist editing. Note: My pc did not have the correct extension to play using Media player, i now have it and can play the videos on MS Media Player.

I'm in Australia and purchased this Vantrue N4 Pro 4K dashcam for my Mazda 2 (2020) and found on opening the box that it is very heavy and BIG. There is no reason from a design standpoint to make the whole that heavy and the cord (from the cigarette lighter) is not long enough to hide it in the panels so it had to go direct and in front of the dash - very ugly arrangement. The double sided tape that came with the factory couldn't hold the dashcam on the windscreen because it is THAT heavy. I got rid of the factory tape and used a 3M tape and it also couldn't hold it on the windscreen due to the WEIGHT. Moved to using Loctite superglue and it held only for a few days. I'm considering throwing it in the trash bin. This device is too heavy for ANY glue to hold it on the windscreen. Very badly designed. Product not tested at all.If you live in a country that has a normal summer (30+ C), you wont be able to keep it glued to the windscreen. Highly recommend you do NOT buy this dashcam. You have been warned.
