Title says this is the "Pro" model however, the Pro version is a totally different model. Just a FYI for those looking for a review of the N4 Pro

Great Video...I highly recommend running the rearview camera cabling though the headliner instead of along the bottom trims...as a mechanic I find all sorts of damaged and corroded wires for diy audio systems and even some stock wire harnesses due to spills, weather/rain/snow...

FIIIIIIIINALLYYYYY! Someone that uploaded 1440p resolution to youtube HIGHER than 1080p. THANK YOUUUU!

I purchased two of these for my sister and parent's cars, the one on my parent's seems to be working fine, had a local radio installer put the cables in place since they know best how to run wires through all cars, the rear camera though seems to be failing, I do hope it just got disconnected but have not been able to check. (Small update, after checking the rear camera plug, yes it was loose, a little electric tape to keep it connected did the trick) Heat is the bane of this camera though, always try to park in the shade and if not possible detach the camera, heat tends to corrupt the SD card and needs to be reformatted for it to work again. If you can, keep one of the AC vents pointing up to keep the camera cool while driving during summer. 👍👍👍

The reason you didn't have any slack for the rear camera is because you channeled the cable wrong. By going all the way down in the front and then up in the rear you were left with no cabling whatsoever. All you had to do was go either directly through the roof liner by taking it off, or going along the roof line on the right.

Stellar. Just installed mine and this is the best video about the N4

I appreciate your detailed demonstrations, multiple viewpoints and considerations evident. This video was professional, thoughtful and helpful. Thank You.

They’ve mentioned to not use sandisk sd cards and at first I thought it was because they just want you to buy theirs but after seeing this video I’m happy I opted for their sd card. Good video!

Great video Bro!!..Ordered the dash cam!!..now I need a car to put it in to 😆

you've probably had this comment a bunch, but I believe that the rear cam cable is made to run through the headliner of the car so that you can get more of a straight shot back. Mine comes tomorrow so Ill see how easily it goes in the headliner, although I have a mini so I'm sure cable length won't be a issue lol

Okay but can you explain deeply about the parking mode? How was it? How much force does it need to turn on? Like a gentle tap on your car would cause N4 to turn on? What about motion detection, how often will it detect?

Got the N4 a couple of months ago with the hard wire kit for £170 Amazon deal. Works great. No need for portable battery pack if you turn motion sensor off and shock sensor on.

As someone who also owns a 2020 Kia Soul this video was a gem to find. Thank you!

I have a 2017 Toyota highlander. The back camera cable length is fine. You probably lost length by going down to the floorboards then back up to the top of your hatchback. If you run it along the top, you have more then enough cable length (I had a lot left over that I had to tuck into the front headliner) One complaint I have is how hard it is to take the front camera off of the mount (and the cable location). The disconnect mechanism to slide the camera off is very hard. I end up pulling the mount off the windshield all the time. Vantrue could have designed a better disconnect button/slide. I got the GPS mount so that I could mount it as close to the top of the front windshield as I could. Because the cable connection on the GPS mount is to the side. The cable connection on the stock mount is at the very top, poor design. So if you use the stock mount you have to mount it lower on the windshield if you want it directly center. The highlander has a lane assist sensor on the front but I can mount the GPS mount right up underneath that.

I had no length issues with the cable in my Ford Edge. Similar in size to your review vehicle. The only difference was were I ran my cable along the top of the roof liner. I had so much extra cable left over, I found myself tucking away around 5 feet of unused cable. This technique would've been easier for your install as well. Hope this was helpful.

I was on the fence but this video helped me pull the trigger. Just ordered it

There is a great way to prevent the suction cup from falling off that I learned a long time ago and have been using all my life. Use liquid glycerin. It can be bought at a regular pharmacy. It is usually used to soften the skin of the hands. Apply a small amount of glycerin to a clean and undamaged suction cup and attach it to a clean windshield. Do not be alarmed, at first, the suction cup will easily ride on the glass, but only at the beginning. That's it, your suction cup will hold securely for months, and maybe years, even at very high temperatures.

I love mine, FYI, route the cable for the rear camera remove the headliner at the top of the vehicle you’ll have more than enough cable to reach Just

I have this exact dash cam and have a 2020 Kia Soul as well!! I ran the cables similar to you but the rear camera I went the other route, through the rubber gasket top side of the door all the way through the back & had so much cable left over & it was more simple, give it a try!

They need phone controls with this cam and also cloud storage that automatically up loads to phone

If you read the instructions. They tell you not to use sandisk or transcend cards in this unit. Something about high speed recording doesn’t always work. So, that’s why you might of had a problem

for a 20 minute video that could've been 4, you left a few useful things out.

One of the best review videos on any product Iv seen. Thank you

I have experienced several repeated failures with sandisk memory cards, won't use them any longer. My much sturdier choice is kingston. Also for GPS capable cameras you don't need to set date and time. Once camera locks onto GPS satts the D & T will auto set. BEST ADVICE is to NOT set your plate/tag number into your dash cam. Use the last 6 or 8 digits of your car ViN. Reason is so many folks post vids online, displaying your plate for all to see, or going through some editing to block it out of vid, and thats annoying. If you need to goto court or you are killed in a horrific crash, the ViN will be just fine 😉

I hear that very often when people that have this camera, that when they get into an accident and they need to review the footage, the footage isn’t there, it’s corrupted or the sd card is, I believe it’s a problem with Vantrue itself

your title says the n4 pro but the link you have below is to just the regular n4

Right on their website for the N4. Recommend Vantrue Micro SD Card, please DON'T use Sandisk Card and Transend Card. And I do remember you said you bought a 256GB Sandisk. Hope this helps the no record issue. DMZ

Great video man I live in Japan and just bought one and didn’t know if it had language change and explaining.

Gonna order one of these! Ty for posting this vid! Been looking for a good one for awhile. Thanks mate!

Running rear camera wire overhead between the headliner and roof would be the shortest run. I saw a video of professional dashcam installers do it that way a while back.

I ordered two of them 2 days ago. Got them today! Some awesome cameras!!!

Nice video and cute too. :-) fyi vantrue says DON'T use sandisk cards

You have to use the vanrue memory card

For 250 with no touch screen 🙄 I think the next version may be worth it but good job pal 👍

You should had routed the rear camera wires along the top of the doors in the seals verses the bottom path.

I have the Samsung Evo sd card on my N4. When I had my N2 Pro I used the same brand. No problems

They have an OBD power supply now! Highly recommend it

Thanks for the great review . I also bought the Vantrue 4. They say that you should not use a SanDisk SD card. I wonder why??? I ordered the combo pack which included a 256 Vantrue SD card. I had the Vantrue N2 pro also. My battery went out 1 week after the warranty expired. I tried to install a new battery but gave up trying to put back the small screws. Glad in a way because I wanted the new N4. lol

I’ve had issues with the “Sd card corrupted” too. I either unplug and replug or turn the truck off and back on if still parked.

Great instructional video. I have one problem though....the 20' rear camera video cable is a few feet short for my car. Do you know where I can get an extension cable to solve this problem? Thanks

Great video. GPS looks neat to have but in this case it’s not like it’s real time view on an app or something of the sort. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the only time you see the gps or the speed is when you review the camera .

Vantrue support can send you a longer cable if needed, I believe it's free or cost of shipping.

wow This video was professional, thoughtful and helpful. Thank You.

Visualize a persons side view in a wind tunnel blowing towards them. Your ability to perfectly describe everything a buyer would need to know, it became obvious to this 64 yr old granny, not genius but not dumb, either, would have smoke 💨 blowing clear over the top of my head. Add deer in headlight eyes 🤣😂 Yet, your illustrations were clear & helps us know if the geek, we’ll be paying to save us, does a good job Kudos 😁🏆

If you ran the rear cable in the headliner you would've had lots of cable length

Very professional installation! Video excellent as well!

I was looking for the best dash cam n now I found one 👍👍

I had this dash cam and in the Florida summer heat, the suction cup would fail and the dash cam was always hanging. I wish they would offer a mount with 3m tape.

I just recently bought the same exact camera. In the instructions it asks you not to use San Disk SD cards.

it will not reach to the back of my van, ill get the other model you mentioned, i want full 4k video for a trip. Appreciate the review.

The VanTrue user manual says to NOT use a Sandisk microSD card. Maybe thats why the dash cam didnt record consistently. Just buy the VanTrue microSD card

Don't know why they put the USB mini port on the wrong side the GPS suction. I think I'll try to wire mine to the right-side of my mirror.

Why the dash camera it doesn't stay on

Great video! Thanks for such a straight forward, yet detailed video.

Thank you so much for this great video - one of the best I have seen on dash cams (I watched several)! Unfortunately the GPS mount and the hardwire kits are currently unavailable and the hardwire (ships in June!)

Awesome, thank you for the information. Great video.

Could you test the collision detection response when in parking mode? When the camera is asleep!

I have mine for 2 years, Front facing cam just gave up. Not sure if it's b'coz of the heat.. Just bought another one today, tested it and the back view cam keeps on going on and off. Have to return it😞 hopefully they would replace it w/o giving any run arounds...

Unlike some other dash cams like rexing that have to connect with wifi to the app to see your files does this dash cam need the wifi set up also?

Excellent video, thank you for the information!

Great video, but did you mean the N4? This doesn't look like the N4 Pro. It's also too cheap to be the pro, I think.

it didn't record it to me as well. now you have to do reformate it every time before you drive. should be good

I bought this......the suction cup quit holding the cam on the windshield.

Whats the blue tool did you use to push the cord in sides? Also Whats the best resolution selection to have on the camera while recording?

Excellent review🔥

Hey dude =) love your videos ! I've spent the last 3 weeks watching all your videos, Does your sound deadening actually help ?

Is continuous recording possible? Or is it recorded in short clips only?

Great video man!

I've noticed my old mount from the N2 does not fit the newer N4. They made the rails different. The manual will tell you NOT to use Sandisk sd cards for some reason.

Hello, how is the speed shown on your N4? I'm not sure if it's just my unit, but I would be going 50km/h and on my N4 it would only show half of that speed. Is this the same for you? Thanks!

I think you may have installed the wire right over the front side pillar's airbag, which could prevent it from deploying correctly. In fact I found your video while looking for the right way to remove that trim to pass the wire behind the airbag...

Note, Vantrue warns against using a Samsung cards, which tend to burn out fast due to constant overwriting.

Excellent review !

bro 3:51 had my headphones blasting that scared me lol

I had that ongoing issues with Vantrue N2 pro with SD card not showing video footage, it was problem with the current footage not re-looping and deleting old footage. Had to reformat the card from time to time. Your right camera should let you know when it can't save

Great video! Very informative and your coverage on the N4 prompted me to buy one for myself :-)

Is there anyway you could take the rear facing camera and position on one of the pillars between the front and backseat and focus on the back seats to see if the quality is ok? I’m wondering if the rear camera will use the ir light from the front illuminate the backseat

Thank you..Explained everything very well..

Nice review. I'd just like to confirm something. Did I understand you to say that the FRONT camera produces a brighter, butter colors image if in 1080 mode, rather than 4K mode? A common thing I'm seeing with reviews on this kit is that in the daylight, the interior camera produces, what is to me, a "nicer" image than the front. It's brighter and the colors are much more saturated, so things look natural. I notice the front camera, in 4K mode anyway, seems dimmer and the color is flat. A deal killer for me.

Love Your Work

Can you do a review of the N4 Pro?

I used a black permanent marker to cover the bright LED.

Nice video but the only thing I will do different then you would be put my front to rear wire along the headliner 👍

So you just purchase that extra part if you want gps and speed recorded?

With the way you set it up, I can see how you could be stopped for ubstructed view.

So where do you put the cigarette lighter holder if you have a hybrid?

Im really leaning on getting the n4 but since I have a Jeep Wrangler unlimited I don’t think the rear camera will be used since I have to lift my glass door up then the hatch itself to access my trunk. I really like the quality on this one over the n2 pro but maybe the n2 pro is better for me since it doesn’t come with the rear camera. Any opinions?

Great video be buying it now

Awesome video!

Shorter path along headliner ✔️

my car has a android screen with usb integrated on the screen, can i simply plug the camera to that screen to charge?

The loop recording on my N4 has gaps in between sequential videos. How do I fix it?

Does the rear camera work as soon as you initially install it without any setup?

Your videos are amazing

I had to change from sandisk to the vantrue 256 for it not to skip large chunks of time recording

Good video. What is the image like in rain and fog? How wide is the angle of the front camera?

Thank you for your video.

This is not the N4 Pro, this is the N4. you can tell becuase of suction cup mount, the side not covered by the Pro cover, and the Pro doesnt have the blue light on the power plug.

You are the man !

We all need cameras this days, It help the police with clear evidence to solve any disturbance.
