There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After several near-misses, I am looking to add a dual-facing dashcam to my wife’s car. She is not exactly a defensive driver, and there are lots of unexpected out there on the road, so we have to prepare for the worst. I am looking for a front-facing and inside-facing cam that can record road situation, parking monitoring, while not breaks my wallet. If you have ever shopped for a car cam, you know the market is flushed with a lot of different options.
After done some homework, it seems this Vantrue N2 could be the answer although I have not heard this company before. Anker and Yi have some nice single cams, but the dual-facing cam market still lacks big players. I took the chance on Vantrue, and it is well worth it.
The product arrived with neat box and very detail guide/manual. English is very good in the manual explaining things (lots of products have that weird translation almost incomprehensible). The cam body was overprotected by wraps and cushions in the box. It comes with everything you need to set it up (minus the SD card, and I highly recommend any SD card with endurance feature).
I intend to hardwire this cam, so I also purchased the hardwire kit from the same company. But really any mini-USB hardwire kit will work. I actually like the fact it is mini-USB connection, and I will explain that later. So everything set up nice and easy, the menu is very intuitive with mostly four buttons (ok, left, right, menu/return). The mount is secure with a rotation lock mechanism. Wife likes it, also not intrusive looking because of the hardwire kit.
Here are some pictures. In the night time picture, you can clearly see the car tag next to my car. A lot of these cams are worse in darkness to a point almost unusable. The front cam has a resolution of 1440*1080 and inside cam is 720p, the quality is crisp and serves my purpose.
Pros
Instant replay on the LCD screen is a godsend if you need to show the video to a cop or as a deterrent to prevent another involved party lying. (which I hope you will never face)
The removable mount: huge advantage if you have to park your car, say in a not-so-safe place. You can remove the cam from mount effortlessly, it is also easy to transfer files in this way.
Both mount and cam have mini-USB ports. There is a smart detection function, so the cam knows when it is being charged by the car, and when it is connected to a computer for sync. Personally, I prefer mini USB. It is thicker than mini-USB, which means more durable. I have filth micro-USB connector broke before.
Motion sensor and G sensor are there for snapping a picture while in parking and time-lapse video.
The inside lens can rotate so that you can customize the angle of the inside/outside lens.
The cam has very nice tactic looking.
Take pictures too with the press a button.
The stamps on video can be customized to have information such as Car tag, time, speed, etc. I know some other cams can not turn off the company logo, not the case with Vantrue (who want to have the company logo on there any way…)
The company website is nice, and they constantly updated their firmware. The firmware update process is also simple.
Cons
Extra cost to have GPS mount (~$20), or you can buy the pro version. For me, I do not need it but to each of its own.
The inside cam has no infrared, so you probably will not get much recording inside when it is night, again not a big deal to me.
Neutral
The parking mode needs either a USB charger or hardwire to a constant supply fuse of your battery, which may drain out your battery.
The recording format is .mov, only a problem if you have something like an ancient computer that cannot recognize this format.
Bottomline
Will recommend to anyone with similar expectation and budget.

All others I had was just front camera dash cams. This one is unique and comes with two cameras. Front camera is full 1080p and back camera is 720p. Front camera lens is 170° wide and rear camera has 140° lens and it’s capable of recording whole cars inside including driver and front passenger. Back camera is rotatable to get the proper angle. I added couple of pictures to show you how it rotates.
Camera is small enough to install in the front windshield without getting too much attention from thieves. Also I like the complete matte black color. I have other dash cam’s that has silver shinning ring around the lens and that tells outsiders that I have a camera inside. I would blackout white lettering in the front if it draws attention. I wish they had a rear view mirror mount.
Power adapter and cable comes with it is long enough (11½ ft. long) to run through headliner and A-Pillar to hide and bring it to cigarette lighter. Either you can use camera body’s mini USB port or the mini USB port on suction cup to power this up. I use SanDisk 64GB class 10 card in the camera. Camera will not see your 64GB card until you format it in the camera or format to FAT32 on a computer and put it in.
Camera’s loop recording intervals are 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes. Or else you can turn the loop recording off and get a one long video clip. I might do that one of these days to see the outcome. Camera has mini HDMI out and AV out but I have not tested them yet. G-sensor works great and lock the video clip if there is an accident and then file moves to “EVENT” folder.
Now I know this is a solid camera so I would go ahead and get a hardwire kit and GPS mount to go with it.

All others I had was just front camera dash cams. This one is unique and comes with two cameras. Front camera is full 1080p and back camera is 720p. Front camera lens is 170° wide and rear camera has 140° lens and it’s capable of recording whole cars inside including driver and front passenger. Back camera is rotatable to get the proper angle. I added couple of pictures to show you how it rotates.
Camera is small enough to install in the front windshield without getting too much attention from thieves. Also I like the complete matte black color. I have other dash cam’s that has silver shinning ring around the lens and that tells outsiders that I have a camera inside. I would blackout white lettering in the front if it draws attention.
