Quite the difference between them. Vantrue definitely has a clearer and better image quality all around. Thank you for the review. Will be getting a Vantrue.
I think so, too, and do get the hardwire kit. amzn.to/3qrlCLY
Hope it you don’t require parking mode
@@chefgav1 I hope so too
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!
You are very welcome 🙏 glad I was able to provide some info to the community 😀
300 is nothing when it comes to insurance.
Good information, and I have been looking into getting a dashcam. I will def consider this one as an option, so thanks for sharing! Look forward to more of your camping adventures too. Give Pepper a good scratch from us down here in NC. :)
Thank you and gave a good proper scratch to Pepper for you and I will have a camping video this week~ hope you enjoy it.
Great Review, Love it!!!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you~!
I have a Subaru OBW 2024 and the dealership technician said I can mount a dashcam anywhere since the new eyesight is fully sealed in the glass and they can’t be obstructed. Just thought I’d share.
good to know! thanks
Interesting product very capable of doing many things
Yes it is, I was very impressed by it and also found a perfect spot to mount it.
That dash cam sticker just screams "break my window and take it" lol. I bought this but I doubt i'll put that sticker on.
I know right? I didn't either.
What size memory card do I need for the N4 Pro?
i use the max available i believe 512gb or 256 but you could get away with lower, the footage keeps overwriting itself so whatever you prefer@@mib9647
@@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.
I put an Amazon sticker dash cam and it makes other drivers think twice on trying to cut me or play with me.
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.
WoW! You have some great deal of knowledge! I really appreciate your input 🙏 😌
Do these dashcam affect my car sensor? I have front camera, not sure if that could be used for recording.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO well the camera he is writing about is a single front camera but i do ride share i need inside and out side and even if in not doing rideshare i still would want the inside camera cuz it covers the back also u can see behind the car also and u would not need back camera
@@chrisx5127 no if u dont place it on top of them if its clear of it u be fine
hello im wondering if u can put front camera and inside also covers the back window better to just instal the front camera and not the rear one i mean u can see the car behind u in that thats all i need any feed back would be appreaicate
yes you can.
Thank you so much for making this video. I just purchased this vantrue camera and also have a subaru outback. Is the install just as si.ple as what you did in this video or do I need to hardwire the camera long term?
Hi! Thanks for your support 🙏 and yes, it is that easy. I have not hard wired the camera yet, but the kit looks really simple to do as well. Just need to connect it to the fuse box. When I hard wire the car, I will make a video of it.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Cool!
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Does hard wire drain your vehicle battery?
@chrisx5127 it will but the hard wire kit has low voltage cut off so it won't drain out your battery
What the clear sticker is it you used for the dash cam?
it came with the dashcam and its to have a better attachment to the windshield
hi.. Good video..I wanted to ask you, what do you think about nexus n 5? its better than n4?
Thank you. and I can't answer that because I have no experience with Nexus N5
Hi Can you give me a link where you installed the Vantrue cables in the Outback Wilderness, I would like to see how you take out the, which was a year ago as you mentioned in your video? I just bought a wilderness as well, and would like to see how you took out the a covering from the drivers side of the door. Thank you so much
Here you go~ czcams.com/video/S6NfhfiqznA/video.html
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Thank you, now I know I don't have to take off the sidebars and door rubbers, although it's not rubber.
It's quite simple as you saw. Good luck and feel free to ask anytime
Does the vehicle this cam is installed in have to have WiFi connection in order for the dash cam to work? Do you pay a monthly subscription to use Vantrue dashcam?
No need for wifi to work, but it is connected to your phone via wife. And no subscription
Would you tell me how to Zoom in any of camera especially front one because it’s too zoom out .
Thank you
I don't think there is a zoom in function on the camera as it records in 4k so you can zoom the recorded video.
Hi, what dash cam do you currently have that has built in 24 hr battery? And is it good?
It's Heaboil and it's decent
Can you let us know how the parking camera work? Is it an always on camera?
If you hard wire it, it will always be on, and the hard wire kit has a low voltage sensor
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.
from my experience, and I lived in SoCal Desert where it reaches triple digits and the cheaper dash cam held up so I am pretty sure this will too.
They all work fine.
@@ChasingAdventuresCOcan you please tell me hou you install the back dash camera please
@@BelindaVlog maybe not worth it im in the same boat u can see behind the car thur the front camera
What do you think about this setup for a pickup truck? Up high? And what about the sides of your car? What if someone sideswipes your car while youre parked think you could catch them on video? And is your cam on all the time???
I would suggest mounting up high on any car and if someone swipes the car, they have to either go forward or backwards so hopefully either camera will catch it 👍 and not currently but I am going to hard wire it.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Have you "tested" it in a video like parked in a parking lot when youre close to a car if you can see it?
@jaygolden4218 not yes as it's not hard wired yet.
Hey, how do you turn off the cabin camera? I see a privacy mode, not sure if that's what it's for?
Not sure but it sounds like privacy mode will do that.
didn't work, I think that's more to do with some regulations regarding video lenghts or something. On or off, cabin recorded...@@ChasingAdventuresCO
@@supra2k8 hmm. Let me take a look when I get a chance
I figured it out, it's not the privacy mode, but in the recording mode/resolution, you can select front and back, front only, front and cabin, or the default for all 3@@ChasingAdventuresCO
@@supra2k8 that's great!! thank you for your input.
Is your back glass is tinted
yes it is
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🤙🤙🤙
What safety features does it have? Like lane assist pedestrian alert?
Don't believe those features are included
@@ChasingAdventuresCO oh it’s so expensive n it doesn’t have those, you think the cobra sc201 is better?
Hmmmmn, like it!😎
its very impressive and found a perfect spot too
So did you replaced your heaboli? Mine still good , 6 months in for my obw.😊
Replace
@@gguy1338 yes I did but if they didn't send one for me to test, I would have kept the Haeboli.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO you are now using the vantrue? Did you hardwire it?
for the wilderness outback where did you place it?
I placed it right between the eyesight camera covering and the rearview mirror
Just bought the Heaboli one today since it’s on sale with 50% off. I think it’s a great dashcam and for that price I couldn’t pass lol
And yeah, everybody should get a dashcam. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
with that kind of discount, Haeboli is hard to beat and yes, everyone should have one!
For the price I’d pay.. 2 days after I got my car some homeless guy rammed it with a cart 😭 definitely gonna be looking into this
Oh no!! I'm sorry to hear that!! Makes me mad 😠 😡
This camera has a super capacitor, which is better than a battery.
It also has motion detection in parking mode, as well as rear, front or side impact sensors.
Super capacitor?
@@ChasingAdventuresCO
Yep. Dual super capacitor rather than lithium ion battery. Withstands the heat better for those in warmer climates. Claims to be safe up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. My last dash cam (different brand) warped from the heat. That's why I'm here appreciating your video.
@@mikeheckman4995and it can’t record when vehicle is parked as it needs constant power to operate.
So it is not good.
@@sunshadow9704 sure it can. Just wire it into a hot fuse like you would any other.
@@mikeheckman4995 wouldn’t wiring it to hot fuse cause slow battery drain, especially during cold months?
In nowadays, new battery costs over 130$.
How much?
Check the link for details
I bought one pictures are really good on it but the program really sucks I mailed it back it's a turd
Hmm I really liked the app program 🤔
2:20 - DO NOT make a hole in a rubber grommet! It is waterproof for a reason. You can put the wire inside the grommet if you remove a couple of trim pieces.
it's such a small hole, that it doesn't have any effect on the car.
Perhaps in other countries people have no sense of privacy. In USA many folks don’t like to be recorded.
oh trust me, they have way more sense of privacy but it's there to protect the innocent from the criminals
Parking mode is garbage
Footages
I bought this dashcam VANTRUE N4 and regretted it due to no wifi , I wanted to put an extra cam in the rear parcel shelf pointing forward so i could monitor the car from anywhere , But made the mistake of assuming it had wifi , I since have bought a mobile router and a small nanny cam to do the job , So i now can see the car from anywhere i wish when it is parked up
That's a good idea for cctv
I cannot say that I see a difference in quality between my n4 and the n4 pro 🤔
You are correct. The Pro just has different mounting system compare to the suction cup on the non pro which fails to hold the dash cam overtime and in heat.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO yea I've noticed the mounting system is weak. The difference in price is wild.
