Great job on the review. I can see that it must have taken you a lot of time to complete this review. I truly appreciate all the time and effort you have put into it. Once again,Great job.
Thank you and I appreciate when people notice the work I put into it
I really like your Vantrue N2 and N4 review. I like how you did the night vision comparison. Thank for taking your time to make this video.
This has been the best possible comparison video you could have made.
This is an excellent comparison review! Thank You for this video, I was trying to decide between the N2 Pro and a different brand front-rear setup, but I wanted a combination of both, and the N4 seems to fit my needs. Salute!
Awesome, glad to help out
I just purchased the N4 and I love it. It's my first ever dash cam. Although I have no prior experience, I am a bit of a techie so I have a decent eye for quality electronics and the N4 is very well made and is absolutely worth the money, in my opinion. I don't know why I waited so long to finally purchase a dash cam, but now that I have one I believe it's an essential item everyone should have in your vehicle. Excellent comparison review!
You defenetly made a great buy. I still have mine and don't plan to upgrade unless N5 comes out some day 😂
Loved the side to side comparison 👌 great video
Great great review! You sold me on the N4! Man, your English is fantastic! I lived in Costa Rica for three years and really had a hard time with the velocity and regional dialects, etc. Respect.
Hey I am really glad you liked my video. I am sure you will not regret getting the N4. Definetly worth it
@@TechNocion Hey! I'm scared of draining my car battery when I hardwire it. I actually got rear-ended before while parked so wanna use Parking Mode. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
Very nice review. You put a lot of work to do this video and it's appreciated. Made up my mind N4!
I'm a new subscriber as of today. Thank you very much for that detailed information. It really helped me decide to get the N4.
Really nice. Thanks for the video review love the scenes of TJ.
I'm glad you likes it. It took some time to edit but it was worth it
The N4 video is better than the N2 Pro, but the N2 Pro sounds better than the N4.
Yeah I agree. Audio is nicer on N2 pro
I noticed that too. Hopefully a next firmware update will address that issue. I want the N4!
*For safety purposes the clarity of audio is also very important as that of video if not more so, specially at night time.*
Excellent job amigo, the best dash-cam I have ever seen. Thank you.
Extrem good review. I like all the details u tested and how much time u spend on driving around to dark places so u realy could see a huge difference!
About an 4 hours 😂. But defenetly muy better night vision on the N4
Thanks for the review George. Very helpful.
@TechNocion Great Job on the camera reviews bro......Keep up the EXCELLENT work!!
Hi should the N4 dashcam showing the recording on screen all the time even when you car been switched off .
I like the colour rendition of N2 Pro more than N4 it’s very nice to share with friends or Facebook or Instagram, but I agree the details captured by N4 are good.
Thanks for the comparions!!
Thanks bro. Great, insightful review. 🙌🏾
Thank you for this in depth and informative comparison
Thank you for your very detailed review. Very helpful! 🙏🏻👍🏻
I’ve had the N2 pro for a year or so,I love it,I just bought the n4 on Black Friday and I put the N2pro in my work truck, Love the bigger screen and rear camera on the N4 pro
The N4 is a beast. I love it also
I know everybody already gave you praise but you really did a good job
thanks R O

My man just scared the whole neighborhood , thanking a drive-by was about to happen 😂
LOL, true 😂
Thank you so much for this FANTASTIC review. This will be my first dash cam for my new car. I think I will spend the extra $100 for the N4 but will check with Rideshare Drivers that already have dash cams and see if they think it's a little too much for what Rideshare Drivers need. Again, thank you so much for the valuable knowledge shared.
Glad you found it useful in your buying decision
Great comparison !!! Thank you
You sold me on the N4 for, thanks man. I want this camera for the exact same reason as you do. To record police when they pull me over and for crazy drivers on the road. I'm tired of being pulled over for driving while being black in America. I need this camera to defend myself.
I am glad you decided to take a safe measure to protect yourself. This is a safe an legal way to avoid police abuse.
god damn, how many times have you been pulled over? where do you live?
@Cameron McCollough You must consider getting a OBD 2 port power supply line. They are sold by Vantrue as well. This is because when the police pull you over they generally tell you to turn off the engine. In that case your camera is of no use if the engine is turned off unless you have the continuous power supply with OBD port (or directly with the car hardwired) even if the engine is turned off. On top of having that security, now you have your car protected 24/7 while parked.

***If you are not a tech savvy person, beware, Our shops normally charge $50-$75 to install this hardwire kit. So I prefer the OBD cable to this.*
I need evidence for the failure to maintain lane.... I get stop always for that.... Its basically falsely accusing you just to investigate your traveling...
Question: how does the rear camera behave when you have dark tinted windows (standard in my car to keep prying eyes out and to block the sunlight)? Does it still show enough details, is it bright enough, etc? Is there an option like a filter or something on the market that tackles this possible issue? I'm asking this because of every review I've seen - of basically every dashcam - none of them test their rear cameras with tinted windows. I mean, many new cars these days come with tinted windows, so I'd like to know how dashcam companies tackle this.
Cheers and thank you for this superb review.
How is the parking mode comparison? Does the N4 cut out a lot or all of the night/low light footage when parked? Are there any huge gaps in the time lapse between parking mode video segments? Does the N4 take a snapshot of the movement in front of the camera and use that as the thumbnail? If it's anything like the X4 in those regards then it's not worth it for me.
hey great review my man, just wish you included footage of the rear facing camera on the N4
I have a question I was hoping you might answer. I’m thinking of selling my N2 Pro and getting the N4 as it has a rear camera and a capacitor instead of a battery. I currently use my N2 Pro in front camera mode only (no cabin) and use the setting 1920 x 1080 60fps. I noticed the N4 records at 1440 x 1080 30fps when using only front and rear camera. Do you know if the video on the N4 will be better even though the resolution is a bit lower than the N2 Pro and it only records at 30 fps?
great review
1. Why does the N2 pro show 0 mph when you’re driving? Does either one of these cameras record your speed?
2. How do you download the video? Is linked to an app on your cell phone?
Great job! Thank you
Hello there, i ordered after seen this review and already installed this dascam today in my wife's car ( Mazda 3 hatchback 2021) she had a Viofo A119V3 before. Now the sad thing is we can't get the same sharp videos as you did here, even on only the front camera at "4K" wich is in my opinion upscaled inside the camera.. the 1440 at 30 fps is slightly better with 2 camera's switched on? and yes we use the 256 GB sd from VanTrue itself. Perhaps a 60FPS mode would be nicer. Any suggestions are welcome Thanks already, John.
Hello. Thank you very much for the video. Is there any possibility that you can post a raw video file? I want to check if the video itself stores the GPS data encrypted in the video or in a separated file in the SD card. I can check it with only one video file.
amazing review .....thanks
Which brand of micro sd card would u recommend with these dash cams?
Thank you for your hard work
GLad to help out
Nice video thanks 🤙🏼
Thank you! It took me a while do edit but I am glad people like it
what does it mean when it is labeled raised exposure on N4? option on device or is this something you did to video afterwards?
Good review! 👍👍
Cand the inside camera, and also audio mic, be turned off for passengers who don't want to be recorded?
Good job with the video. You covered many of the important points. I was interested in your channel for recording police interactions but didn’t see it. Can you give a link to that channel?
I like the video. Nice and easy. Thank you jorge.
Glad to help out
Do you have a rear cam connected to N2? Can the N2 be connected to a rear cam?
how is Vantrue S1 4k Hidden Dash compared to Vantrue N4 ? I also see sometime car having battery issues when dashcams are on Parking more recordings. Any input is appreciated. I havent owned dashcam before so dont have much knowledge, I am still researching.
can you connect 2 N4s one in front /back so you can record "360" degrees?
can this cam video be inverted so i can use a dashboard mount and not the windshield mount?
The loop recording on my N4 has gaps in between sequential videos. How do I fix it?
I don’t have a computer/laptop & im not about to buy one so how would I get the videos from the sd card to my phone or if I need to send it to someone... since the n4 doesn’t have wifi? Also I heard the N4 doesn’t have gps. I don’t know anything about tech so what benifits does gps add to the dash cams? Is it just pinpointing the location the video was recorded? If I decide to go with the n2 instead is there anyway to add a 3rd camera? I’m leaning more towards the n2 simply because of the wifi. This is ridiculous why wouldn’t vantrue the n4 should have wifi. I’d prefer that over what ever took its place. Thank you so much to anyone who answers that 🙏🏽💜
Does the n2 pro has or u can add a rear cam?
Just took the time today to format a Vantrue N2 pro dash cam. After reading a number of reviews where people said the Vantrue sd cards would not format, I went to Walmart and purchased a Sandisk 128 GB card for 25 dollars. Whether or not this card works is impossible to tell, since I cant get the camera to validate a time stamp. Leaving the camera on and plugged in with a USB cord and AC adapter, the camera shuts off after about 3 minutes, i.e. I cant tell if it's recording, or if it is formated, etc. Way way too complicated compared to the Car And Driver dash cam I had, thought that camera had a limited life span of about 2 years. I do not recommend this camera at all, especially if you're not technically savy.
Hi there
Thank for nice Video
I have read some reviews on Amazon, they had got the problem with parking mode, It had not worked properly
So would you let me know the parking mode is work or not
Thank
Issue has been resolved with firmware update
since its a dash cam and not used for the same purpose as a regular video camera the n2 has the overall better low light, since it has the least shadows. you can actually see more on the n2 like building details and peoples clothing. you can barely tell that person on the side walk on the right has a red shirt, on the n4 at 11:09 . the n4 has awesome night quality for a small camera sure, but not for documenting purposes which is what a dash cams main purpose is, the low light brightness is better on the n2, and n4 for has way better day quality obviously
If I don’t install the beck camera, do you think it would make the front and interior videos sharper ?
You have use higher record quality setting when only using 2 cameras.
Did you raise the exposure in camera or in post editing?
post editing just to see if it was better and it was
You could add GPS Right ?
Thank you for the good video sir.
You are welcome
Compare it to the Thinkware U1000 Comes with 3 cams and and extra sensor that detects people moving around your car it will record
Hey Tech notion, which one of these have a super capacitor
? that's my main concern.
The N4.
Kinda think the Thinkware F 200 pro might be a better option than the Vantrue.But the USB-C is way cool on Vantrue What memory card did you use they are saying not to buy Sandisk or Trancend cards cause unit ti freeze up.
Was making a decision on whether I wanted to buy it from Amazon or Walmart and then I read the "185 answered questions" section and am I glad I did or what? I just found out that it doesn't have blue tooth nor Wi-Fi. Bummer, bummer, bummer. I was really wanting the Viofo ($249.99), but it's on backorder until August 11 or 12th. Now if that doesn't tell you how good this Dash Cam, nothing will. I have 4 more weeks to wait.
This one has no wifi due to handling 3 cameras in 1 body. You won't regret getting this one trust me
When you park the car does the camera turn off ? And when it senses motion it turns on ? Then turns back off automatically?
Yes it has that function 😊
My vantrue n2pro does not record night vision black and white video. Its infrared system not working ? Any idea?
update the firmware to see if that solves it
Have Vantrue N2 and it is a hit and miss looking for something better. Big brother is watching you with the 3cam set up ..Lol
Thanks
Your welcome
What brand SD card did you use in the cameras. Description says not to use SanDisk or Transend. Just curious. Thanks.
I used Samsung
Thanks for asking this question?
Awesome review! N4 is the one to get
Good choice!
Does it also synch to the cloud I’m not sure if you said that in this video
No this does not have app feature or cloud. The cpu has to process 3 cameras so no room for perks
I have a question about the interior night vision on the N2 PRO. My cam is much to dark than I want it can u help me with any adjustments i can do to make it more visual?
You can adjust the exposure in the settings. But first I recomend you update your firmware.
@@TechNocion Thanks ill try it
One of the underneath buttons (don't remember which exactly but press around to find out) turns on or off the interior night vision. Watch how the screen colour of the night Cam changes when you press it to get to your desired night vision - I have N2 PRO
I could not tell the difference at all and was really confused on why you were saying the n4 resolution was much better... then I realized I had the video quality set to 480... now I have it in high resolution and can clearly spot the difference... I have been staying away from dash cams and house cams due to the low quality and I just now realized I've been watching all the videos in the lowest quality 😅
If you can recommend a dash cam or house camera that is simple to use and set up, please tell me what it is.
I just tried to format (on June 7, 2023) a Vantrue N2 pro I received for Christmas. It is very difficult to even set up, can't tell if it's set up at all, can't set the time stamp, no confirmation or indication of the time being set, camera shuts off after 3 minutes while being plugged in on my living room table, so don't know if it records or if I could play back a recording.
This is unusual my inside rear camera lost it's color. I never dropped it, the video now only shows in black and white. My front side view is fine.
The N4 is $260 on Amazon right now, but N2 is $160, the difference between them two is not a huge deal. If money is not an issue, go with N4. However, N2 will get in the job done amazingly
The N4 and N2 are both devices manufactured by the company Nuu. The N4 is generally considered to be a higher-end model and is priced accordingly, while the N2 is a more budget-friendly option. If money is not a concern, the N4 may be a better choice as it likely offers more features and higher performance. However, the N2 will still be able to perform most tasks well and may be a good choice for those on a budget.
Can you use the n4 without the rear camera? I have a soft top convertible. I will probably keep my n2. when I buy a car in the future hopefully the car will come with a camera set up.
Yeah, it works fine even if you don't connect the rear cam.
@@TechNocion how big of an ad card can you put 512gb or 1 tb
Can't decide between either the N4 or the Blackvue DR900S 2CH-IR. What's holding me back is the lack of wifi on the N4. Anyone with experience can help me decide?
That's a really nice brand but I don't like that it only has 2 cameras. So instead of one camera they add wifi
Blackvue is the standard in this market, some good ones out there but Blackvue is the champ. I've had 2, and a VAVA, now have a vantrue. New truck is getting Blackvue also the most maintenance free of the onesnive had.
No parking mode?
Hello is this camera iPhone compatible
Zenfox gets real hot so does the vantrue n4 get real hot while running also?
Not extremely hot. I will be testing the Zenfox soon
Hi! Thanks for the review! I heard that that N4 drains the car battery because of the sensitive parking monitor? Is there a way to connect the camera to an external battery and then that to the car so that it doesnt rely on the car battery when its parked?
Yeah it's possible but you would need a way to charge that battery. I have had no issues with battery drain.
In this video the n4 looks pretty good. None of that weird off color like in N2
true
Does the n4 motion detection work on all the cameras in case someone scratches your door
That's a good question. I will test and let you know
@@TechNocion thanks
Still not WiFi ?
Review for zenfox 3 channel please
i'll have to check it out
VanTrue is a subsidiary of Shenzhen Yidian Zhuoyue Technology Co.,Ltd which is owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.
Garmin is headquartered in Olathe, Kansas, and last time I checked the Chinese don’t own Kansas.
Also make a video on how this camera connects to N2 mobile or TV
TV?
Why would the mic sound way better on the cheaper one
Wish I saw that Review earlier I picked N2 over N4. lol
aaa man! N4 rocks
Can you confirm (or deny..) if the N2Pro and the N4 share the same clip in mount on the cameras? I have a rear-view mount on the N2 Pro, and I am hoping if I purchase the N4 later on, that it would still clip in the same?
This is the mount I'm talking about, as a reference..
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H3VQDZQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Does this camera works on a car with tinted glass?
Yes but it would look a bit darker. Same theory applies when you look out it's easier than looking in.
N4 have front, rear and inside features meanwhile N2 have front and inside. That’s a done deal right there guys.
Exactly, rather have 3 cameras
Until you raised the exposure I was thinking the N2 Pro was much better
Exactly once you raise it you can see there more quality on the N4
The N2 has a slightly better sound, but the N4 is enormously better in terms of image quality, which is most important to me. Very good work, congratulations!!!
The gamma was set to vastly different settings.
So second video about the N4 that I've watched: the micro is crap. Also, N2 Pro is obviously working at a higher ISO in night-time mode (I don't know if ISO levels can be adjusted in these dashcams).
Iso can't be adjusted. Only exposure
Zenfox 3 vs vantrue n4 3?
I asked them if they can provide it for comparison
the Vantrue N4 can't connect wifi?
No it doesn't have wifi capabilities. It has to use its processor for cam quality.
Looks like the N4 has better quality footage coz it has a filter that filters out the sun, you can see more clearly out of the rear windscreen compared to the N2 pro. But the N2 pro is better in low light than the N4.
Check the footage where I raised the ISO on the N4. It has more detail in night footage than the N2 Pro
Yes it's much better and clearer than the N2, should've watched the whole video. :) Thanks. Will get one from your link.
i have a question please it’s recording back and front in the same time or i need two cameras?
same time in the main camera
Don’t forget the Memory card you have to buy from Samsung, they should just include the card and price it up some.
You need to point the cameras down more as you showing to much skyline and it'll also cut down the glare.
Good point. I will look out for that next time
