That easily makes it one of thebest dash camsyou can buy right now.
It provides as close to full car coverage as you might get today.
About the size of the Nexar beam2 at 4.9 x 2.3 x 1.6 inches, it weighs 7.2 ounces.
Unfortunately, it eats up 11 square inches of windshield space.
The rear-view backup cam is separate, smaller and at 2.4 x 1.3 1.1 inches is comparable to theGarminx310.
Its crevice tool can help hide the wiring; believe me, youll need it.
This allows the camera to stay active for recording if the car is bumped while parked.
Presumably, the polarizer would have helped here.
In addition to HDR enhanced video, the N4 Pros streams can be downsized to 720p.
The N4 Pros ultrawide 2.8:1 display is among the biggest dashcam displays at 3.2 inches, measured diagonally.
Theres a plethora of data, like date and time as well as HDR enhancement and the microphones status.
On the other hand, it lacks the touch sensitivity of the x310s smaller display.
The four buttons underneath are key to configuring the cameras.
The N4 Pros one-year warranty can be extended to 18 months by registering with Vantrue.
The support effort is good with online places to get the manual, firmware and the desktop apps.
It doesnt have any setup videos, though.
I started by opening the hatch under the power switch and inserting my 256GB Samsung micro-SD card.
I loaded the Vantrue app on my OnePlus 11 phone.
Theres also an iOS version.
The app formatted the micro-SD card and I picked the N4 Pro from a photo list.
I choose between 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi.
It took 9 minutes to install followed by an hour of cable hiding.
Vantrue N4 Pro review: Software
The Vantrue app takes in all the camera feeds.
It works best with the dash view large and the cabin and rear-view streams small.
The current speed is in the lower right.
There are dark and light modes but no automatic switching.
The central square stops the recording.
Tap the rectangle in the lower right to go full screen in landscape mode.
Here, I was able to truly appreciate the resolution and quality of the N4 Pros cameras.
The bottom revealed the longitude, latitude and speed.
If the main modules accelerometer experiences a rapid deceleration that might indicate an accident, the recording starts automatically.
There are five levels of sensitivity.
Meanwhile, the apps parameters allows customization of video resolution and looping.
Its easy to change the exposure controls, use HDR video enhancements and flip the video.
The videos can include a variety of information from time and date to speed to GPS location.
While in use, the N4 Pro kept its cool.
Unlike the others, Vantrue has a GPS Player program for Windows and Macs.
It replays existing clips with all the data for forensic examination.
The interface shows aGoogle MapsGPS plot of the location and route, its speed along with the video clip.
In addition to its phone apps, Vantrue provides software for viewing journeys on Windows and Mac computers.
Its video output is top-notch with the choice of several resolutions and HDR enhancements.
All this makes the N4 Pro potentially the last dashcam youll need.
