Excellent video: No distracting music! And finally someone shows clearly how the unit looks in the car! I loved that you didn't detail every little thing about the camera because those long videos are overwhelming.

Great review! Thanks for this. I actually pre-ordered this last month and installed it over the weekend. I didn't know the front lense moves around like that! I already removed the whole camera once to adjust it, but this will help so I don't have to remove it, since it's still not even in the front lol. The only downside I feel is that the camera is kind of big/bulky, but I rather have that than worse video quality.

I originally got the N4, but I'm glad I returned it to get the E3. The WiFi feature is fantastic.

I have an ioniq 5! And someone just side swiped me today and knocked my miorr cover, breaking it in half :( off so came straight to KZread to get a dash cam! Thank you for the video!!

Great video! I got this because I am a ride share driver and it’s totally worth it! Best video I’ve seen on here cheers 🥂

Thanks for the video, my friend! I installed the E3 in my 2020 Chevy Silverado and I am very pleased with the install. I watched a separate KZread clip on how to hardwire and removed passenger side panel. Very important to disconnect battery though if doing this because of passenger airbag. ONE MAJOR COMPLAINT I have with E3 is the parking mode. Yeah, it can record motion while you are away from vehicle but there is no way for you to be notified that motion was detected. I was under the impression this would operate similar to my home security cameras and send me a notification that motion was detected. As it is, the only way to see if the E3 recorded motion while you were away from vehicle is to get back into vehicle and spend 10 minutes reviewing the recorded clips. One additional (minor) complaint = I had to purchase an additional 3 foot USB-C extension to reach my rear camera since I ran the wire thru the floor trim. It came up just a little short, but was able to easily buy a 3 foot extension piece on Amazon

Yes if you need want to monitor your camera, you would need to have a cloud based camera with a wifi hotspot as well.I've learned that installing in the upper trim to the rear saves quite a bit cabling. Good to know about the extension!

I had the E2 installed and hardwired at my local Best Buy on my '21 Dodge Durango RT (3/30/24). I installed a Sandisk Extreme 512GB microSDXC card. I am impressed with the E2's performance and video quality. I have only tested parking mode in my driveway. In parking mode, you can adjust the settings' motion detection sensitivity and video frame rate. I use 5G wifi to view, download, and delete videos on my SD card by using the Vantrue app. I am still experimenting with other settings.

Thanks for your video I already get my E3 never get answers but thanks and God bless

Great review. I am in the market for a 3 channel camera system, and I was wondering what the differences are between the E3 and the N4. Your review was clean, in-depth and to the point.

The N4 has 4k resolution and the Sony v2 chip for better night vision but I heard it does get pretty hot and most likely take up more disk space. I think this is one of the best systems out there. The round smaller N4 I think doesn't have enough room for proper cooling. Make sure to get the battery pack for parking mode. I also really like the magnetic clip with no power attachments on the unit itself but, there is one for the rear camera. Better than having 2 wire inputs to remove. The Element series is a newer model and will do the job for what 95% of what is needed in any event. I'm also researching for a 3 camera one too. I'm not falling for the top of the line 4k ones sense they all drain fast and get very hot and in summer times, shut down due to heat. I really like this system. Hopefully this helps you out.

Great review!! Thank you!!

Great video, I need to install mine when I get a bit of free time. And you vide seriously is a help. Only 2 bad things I see are ( that are not your fault) A) put a USB in the light switch area on cars B) would be nice If rear camera was wireless, but might not due to mount of information?

Great video.

That's dog popo really! They have tought to have the main cable to the cradle itself then the cable for the rear camera attached from the front camera, honestly! All cables should be on the cradle, much easier.

Hi.informative video.may i ask if you already use the unit during summer? If yes how was the performance

Hi sir what do you recommend with this two the X4S DUO 4K or ELEMENT 3 i have N4 but i want to upgrade that i can connect to my phone via wifi

Hey there I love you your video. Quick question I just got mine, but for some reason it just records in front of the road , how can I put it where to I can record the cabin as well thank you.

I have the x4s duo which is hardwired but i would like to switch to the e3 for the simple fact that its adhesive and not suctioned. Im in Virginia and it doesn’t get crazy hot but even when parked in the shade i come to the car with the cam just dangling around. Alot of hit and runs happen especially with my car being a gtr i just dont feel comfortable knowing my cam didnt catch footage. Would this be plug and play into my existing setup?

Stellar review. Thank you.

what are included in the box and is it necessary to buy hardwire kit too, could you please tell me about it? thanks in advance

can you explain how exposure works? I don't know much about the negative and positive on the numbers.

You didn’t mention that the fourth power option is to buy the optional Vantrue OBD II connector cable which is out of sight but doesn’t require the complicated work of hardwiring or of an ugly 12V connector or spending on a dash cam battery.

Hello ! i want to ask if i just want to shoot kamera front and back is it possible? Can you turn off the camera in the cabin?

Just bought vantrue e3 camera from watching your video ! Best dashcam easy to use and reliable !!! I had a nexar one before and nexar one is TRASH!!!!waste of 400$ . I would say worst camera ever nexar one !!!

Is it possible to let the camera record all time time when you press recored?

How would this compare to the S2 2ch - i dont need a rear camera just incabin and front with app

Hello. Is the rear camera removable like the front? Thank you.

Great informational video! I was just wondering if the back camera could be mounted outside the car? I have a truck so a window mount would be too far away. If you covered this, I apologize, I was distracted for parts due to phone calls....

No. The camera is not waterproof so wouldn’t work for that application.

Good review. Was hoping for some nigh shots of license plates as this is when most of these cameras fall off and blow out the image. There was an opportunity for such a shot when you were coming off the highway in Abbotsford. Would love to know if you can still read a license plate illuminated by strong LED headlights. I'm looking to get a setup like this myself, but of all the products I tested, the night image quality is not all that great.

@EverydayReviews2022

No dash cameras do that good in low light due to the size of sensor. If you get a camera that can record 60P, it robs even more light which will make your night shots suffer even more.I'll see if I can get a good screen grab for you. KZread doesn't do videos great justice though with their compression.

The E3 has a WiFi feature that allows you to connect to it with your phone via the app to view the camera, the recordings, and adjust its settings. This makes configurations and viewing footage so much easier compared to the N4. It also supports 512 GB of storage compared to 256 of the N4. In addition, the front lense can move left and right, the camera is more resistant to heat and the screen has a higher quality glass.

So does it automatically start recording when it gets power or do you have to activate the recording everytime with the button?

@EverydayReviews2022

Automatic

FYI Nice video FYI green light is showing power and red light is recording

When you click on the red button that locks an event, does it lock like 5-10 min. before ? If you get into a crash, you usually won't be able to lock the event as it happens. So ideally it will lock (and save) the recordings from 5-10 min. before you clicked on the red button.

Is the issue with the speed on the video itself or on the camera when driving? I noticed when I download my videos the speed is accurate. However when I’m driving the screen on the camera shows me a speed of 30-40mph higher. I guess all that matters is that my speed is accurate on the actual footage. But it’s really annoying looking at the screen seeing I’m going 100-110 mph on the freeway in Cali. Always, how would you download new filmware? I don’t see a port on the camera that would allow you to plug it in to a computer. The only port on the camera is for the rear camera and SD slot. I figured when as long as my app is updated it will update the camera when I connect them via Wifi. Or am I wrong 🥴. I connected Vantrue about both issues but no reply yet. Maybe you can give me some insight on these issues from you experience. Thanks so much 😊

You will have to pull your micro SD card out, save your videos, and pics to a folder on your PC or Mac first. Download the firmware for your camera to your PC. Making sure you know where it downloads to...now copy and paste it into the cd card, which will go back into your camera. Please take a look at the instructions that are included with the firmware. No worries, it's very easy to update the firmware.
