Even though my past few cameras have been Viofo, Vantrue is one of my recommendations if someone can get a better deal on one. One of my friends uses Vantrue cameras and hasn't had an issue with them.

I would def buy the cpl filter if I were going to buy this dashcam. Thanks for showing this dashcam with video footage. I think Vantrue should def upgrade rear camera to 4k too.

Glad it was helpful! and yes, I wish the rear camera was in 4K

Seems like Vantrue is the clear winner, luckily my 14 Forester doesn't have that EyeSight on the top so I can install normally.. Though 300+ for that seems a bit much, will definetly consider down the line. Thanks for the review!

@@mib9647 depends on how long you need the rollover footage to be. I'd recommend 128GB for a good sweet spot. I'd also recommend getting a high endurance card. Dashcams usually automatically rewrite the oldest videos when the microsd runs out of space so you don't necessarily need to think about how much space you need. But if you want to save footage from longer trips, the more the merrier. They make 256GB high endurance cards now (didn't when I first started dashcamming. I've been using my trusty 64GB Sandisk High Endurance card for the past 8 years through 3 vehicles. Decided to splurge and order a 4k Viofo A139 Pro Duo for my new car.

One item to keep in mind is how well or poorly does the dash cam take extreme heat? If a vehicle is parked out in the hot (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc.) sun, those interior temperatures get well over 140 degrees.

Vantrue N4 Pro Cables are too short by 10 to 12 inches. The rear camera really could use another 18 inches for larger vehicles. The N4 Pro is very bulky in size. Do not want or need to use the Interior camera. I like the universal ball joint as being able to swivel the camera angle. Like the innovative magnetic connection for easy removal. It is just like the regular N4 regarding Heat and Cold. The 3.19-inch IPS screen is nice but don't like the buttons as should be a touch screen but the screen really is no longer a required item. Also, it has to be mounted just below the review mirror which causes a lot of problems with new vehicles having cameras and sensors behind the rearview mirror as impairs road vision. Be careful to ensure connector/plug room for the power cable and cable to the rear camera. In certain ways, mounting the old N4 was better. N4 Pro now competes with Viofo A139 Pro since it has Starvis MX678 with HDR capability and both perform well. However, the Viofo A139 Pro is better than N4 Pro. There is no longer any need for screens on dashcams as we use our smartphones. A139 Pro has thinner cables which make routing the cable easier. Vantrue N4 Pro dashcam gets a grade of B. Viofo A139 Pro gets a grade of B plus.
