TLDR Review: Vantrue N4 Dash Cam

The Vantrue N4 3 Channel Dash Cam has solid night vision. According to the manufacturer's product description, it uses an advanced Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor to boost image quality in low light, so your night footage comes out clear and detailed.

Plus, the front and rear cameras have F1.4 and F1.8 aperture lenses, which pull in more light for better nighttime recordings. This setup really helps cut down on the usual graininess you get with night vision footage, giving you a clearer look at the road both ahead and behind you.

From what we've found, many folks are pretty happy with how it performs at night. They’ve pointed out that the infrared (IR) lights and the camera’s ability to switch to night mode automatically make a big difference.

You can still read license plates and street signs in the recorded footage, which is super important if you need to review any incidents that happen at night.

The interior camera's got IR LEDs too, so it can record the cabin even when it's pitch black. This is especially handy for rideshare drivers who need to keep an eye on what’s going on inside their car during late-night rides.

It helps make sure the whole vehicle is covered, reducing any blind spots.

A few users have even compared the Vantrue N4 with other dash cams in the same price range and said this one really stands out for its night vision. Its performance in low-light settings is often mentioned as one of its best features—great for anyone who drives a lot at night.

So overall, with the Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor, high-aperture lenses, and effective IR lights, the Vantrue N4 does a great job with night vision.

Whether you're navigating dark roads or need to keep an eye on your car’s interior at night, it’s a solid choice.

The Vantrue N4 Dash Cam is known to be pretty reliable, especially when it comes to its parking mode features. It's designed to keep an eye on your car even when it's parked, with options like low bitrate continuous recording to save storage while still catching important stuff.

It also has motion and collision detection, so it starts recording if something happens near your car. Just make sure you've got it hooked up to a continuous power source, like a hardwire kit or an external battery pack, to get the most out of it.

From what we've found, a lot of people really appreciate the parking mode. It makes them feel a lot safer. One person mentioned that it switches seamlessly back to normal recording when they start the car, which is handy.

That said, a few folks have run into some hiccups, like the parking mode not always kicking in when it should or needing to be manually woken up.

In general, the Vantrue N4's parking mode has a lot of useful features. But for it to work well, it's super important to set it up right with a steady power source. Keeping the firmware up to date and installing it properly can help avoid some of the issues others have seen.

So, if parking mode is a big deal for you in a dash cam, the Vantrue N4 is a solid choice.

The Vantrue N4 doesn't have WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity. So, you can't transfer files wirelessly or connect it to your smartphone. You'll need to either remove the SD card or connect the dash cam directly to your computer to access your recordings.

While it lacks wireless connectivity, the Vantrue N4 offers some solid features. It has night vision with infrared LEDs on the interior camera, which is great for getting clear footage inside your car, even in total darkness. This is especially handy for rideshare drivers or anyone needing to monitor their car's interior at night.

There's also a 24-hour parking mode. According to our research, this mode uses motion and impact detection to start recording automatically if it detects something like a bump or movement near your car. But keep in mind, to use this feature fully, you'll need to buy a hardwire kit separately.

Overall, our research suggests that people find the Vantrue N4 reliable. The video quality, both day and night, is frequently praised, and many say it's easy to install. However, it is on the pricier side compared to some other options. Some reports also mention that the parking mode can be a bit too sensitive, which might fill up your memory card quickly and use more power.

So, while it doesn't have WiFi or Bluetooth, the Vantrue N4 is a solid choice if you're looking for a dash cam with comprehensive features and great video quality.
