    Great for the price. Good video quality and easy to use.
    Short and to the point wrap up : Great little dash cam. Not complicated at all to set up or use. Video quality is great, night or day. Records audio and easy to mute. Also easy to adjust the angle with a twist. Sucktion cup as a good tight hold, I will update if I ever have a problem with it but I don't feel I will. Long cable should I want to hide it along the windshield and door, floor etc to make it very "stealth". Full Review : I've been on the fence about getting a dash cam for years now. While I live in a state that does not have any crazy insurance problems or discounts for owning a dash camera I still wanted one. You see more and more videos online about accidents or someone witness something with a dash cam and I can't help but feel if I was in a situation like that I'd like one too. Call it peace of mind or just the fact I can say "It wasn't my fault!" and have actual proof! That for me, was the biggest pro for getting a dash cam, proof. Dash cams are becoming more and more common and there are more and more on the market every month it seems. Eventually I decieded I should dip my toes in and finally test one out. This device is one of those set it and forget it ones. You set it up, check the footage after a drive and don't have to fuss with it again. I'd recommond getting day and night in there before you check the video. Now for the actual product, which has been great. It comes in a nice little box with some foam padding around the camera to ensure any shipping bumps, drops and crushes don't damage the camera. The intrustions are simple and clear and come seperate from the full manuel to help get you started faster. I was actually surprised it came with two cables. One for the car with the old "cigarette lighter" plug port and a shorter one for plugging the camera into a PC should you want to grab video straight from the camera itself and not have to remove the microSD. Which for some might be very handy since microSD are TINY! As I said it had two cables where I expected only the one for the car, nice. Also surprised that the plug for the car has a little slidable piece and hides a USB port! So if you did have something plugged in there already and it happens to be USB you can use this for a pass through. The cable as you might expect is very long, not sure I even need half of it but I'm sure someone who wants to really hide their cam has plenty of cord to work with. The camera itself looks just the part, like a really mini DSLR almost. The lens is pretty big and extends out of the camera but not so much as to make it bulky. I appreciate the addition of the 1.5inch LCD on the back which makes getting into the settings easy. Some cameras that I had looked at needed to set up on the PC or via phone app, I don't like that. I prefer settings to be "on device" should I need to adjust, adress or otherwise need them quickly. I do recommend at least an 8GB microSD card as setting the video's to 1 minute loops has each one come in just about 110MB which is over 100 videos. However if you wanted to have a longer loop, say five minutes, that would be 500MB for each and will only give you about sixteen videos before it starts to loop. I would say keep it to 1 minue or three at most if you are using 8GB. Smaller cards I wouldn't go over one or even recommend to use it as you will be loppint over video quickly and if you "protect" some you might be unable to record more until you save those to another source. The video is clear and would record any accident you would have in front of your car. This should be more then enough for any insurace claims or court case to prove your side of the story. At night license plates are hard or impossible to read but I won't dock a star from the camera because I feel this is not important. Given most people don't have a dash cam, any kind of recorded footage is a big bonus. Finals notes : The timestamp on the bottom gives you date and time, as well as your license plate # (I left that blank for this review as my videos are public) and speed if you have the GPS attachment/upgrade. (I do not at this time have that). In the video I have the settings to default, 0 exposure, 1080P/30 and audio off. In the picture, I did not yet choose where I want to have the cam and I was moving and adjusting it for this review, that is why you see the USB cord hanging down from my rear mirror. I did not do anything with it as of writing this review.

    As I said it had two cables where I expected only the one for the car, nice. Also surprised that the plug for the car has a little slidable piece and hides a USB port! So if you did have something plugged in there already and it happens to be USB you can use this for a pass through. The cable as you might expect is very long, not sure I even need half of it but I'm sure someone who wants to really hide their cam has plenty of cord to work with.
    The camera itself looks just the part, like a really mini DSLR almost. The lens is pretty big and extends out of the camera but not so much as to make it bulky. I appreciate the addition of the 1.5inch LCD on the back which makes getting into the settings easy. Some cameras that I had looked at needed to set up on the PC or via phone app, I don't like that. I prefer settings to be "on device" should I need to adjust, adress or otherwise need them quickly.
    I do recommend at least an 8GB microSD card as setting the video's to 1 minute loops has each one come in just about 110MB which is over 100 videos. However if you wanted to have a longer loop, say five minutes, that would be 500MB for each and will only give you about sixteen videos before it starts to loop. I would say keep it to 1 minue or three at most if you are using 8GB. Smaller cards I wouldn't go over one or even recommend to use it as you will be loppint over video quickly and if you "protect" some you might be unable to record more until you save those to another source.
    The video is clear and would record any accident you would have in front of your car. This should be more then enough for any insurace claims or court case to prove your side of the story. At night license plates are hard or impossible to read but I won't dock a star from the camera because I feel this is not important. Given most people don't have a dash cam, any kind of recorded footage is a big bonus.
    Finals notes : The timestamp on the bottom gives you date and time, as well as your license plate # (I left that blank for this review as my videos are public) and speed if you have the GPS attachment/upgrade. (I do not at this time have that). In the video I have the settings to default, 0 exposure, 1080P/30 and audio off. In the picture, I did not yet choose where I want to have the cam and I was moving and adjusting it for this review, that is why you see the USB cord hanging down from my rear mirror. I did not do anything with it as of writing this review.

    I like the Vantrue brand. The cameras have held up well and all are still working fine. I’m a strong proponent of dashcams and they’ve saved my bacon on more than one occasion. I own two N2 Pro, two N1 Pro and one N2S 4k cams. The only problems I’ve had are the suction mounts losing their ability to stay attached to the windshield. First they’d fall off every week or so, then it was daily and finally, they would not stay attached at all. I don’t think this problem is specific to any model or brand. UV is damaging and that’s just the way it is. Usually I just clean the suction cup with one drop of mild dish soap in a bowl of water, rinse real well and let it air dry. Then it remains attached for months unless it’s extremely cold or hot outside. In the future I will only buy dashcams that come with a more permanent mount like an adhesive (no more suction cup mounts). All of my cameras were out of warranty so I was hesitant to reach out to Vantrue, but I’m glad I did. Driving around without a dashcam, I felt naked. Vantrue really came thru with excellent support. They quickly addressed my issue even though the warranty period had lapsed and are shipping me replacement mounts. Vantrue – I appreciate you standing by your products and earning my repeat business. I’ve installed 4 or 5 dashcams for family members, and my next dashcam recommendation will be a Vantrue. I haven’t looked lately, but hopefully there are Vantrue cams with adhesive mount options.

    |—-This review is incomplete. I will come back and edit it when I get more experience from the camera—-|
    I purchased this for a friend because we always see something wild when we’re together. I purchased this camera for its price and many positive reviews. As always, I took them with a grain of salt. I expected it to be neither excellent nor, well, not bad.

    The packaging was nice, though just a tad awkward. After getting the second box opened (first was the one it shipped in), I was met by a quick start guide, some kinda sweepstakes-type thing (share video, get chance to win), and a full manual. I read the quick start guide, but I’m more of a learn-it-by-doing-type person, so I retained the absolute bare minimum I needed to know, which was it needed to be charged for 2-3 hours before use. So I decided to do the next logical thing: I started using it. I’m kidding. I plugged it into a phone charger for a couple hours like it said. I hadn’t put a memory card into it yet, so it didn’t record anything.

    The display seemed decent at the time (I left all of the protective film on everything), but after I got it set up later, it actually looked pretty good. It’s also at this point that I decide to set it up. It was awkward navigating the menus. Well, it was fine most of the time, but the instructions didn’t exactly make it clear how to apply changes you make. Turns out, it’s automatic. This confusion actually allowed me to almost exactly sync the time to what my phone said (you can modify the seconds too, but I didn’t feel like it, especially if I could get close).

    I was going to use it in my friend’s Jeep but I was too busy trying to find stuff that I forgot to insert a uSD card into the camera before leaving. Another friend tried to mount the camera anyway (I was in the back). He tried to take it back down, but the suction cup resisted. He finally got it down, dropping it. He handed the camera back and called it a GoPro. To be fair, that’s what this camera looks like, lol.

    Skip a couple of days and I was able to put the camera into another car. I actually remembered to insert the uSD this time. We drove for about 10 minutes and parked and waited for someone else. Once he came out, it was decided to take his vehicle instead of ours, so I was unable to capture any more footage. What footage I do have ins’t really enough to tell much about picture quality. We didn’t even get close enough to another vehicle for me to be able to read the plates with my own eyes.

    Speaking of footage, the files stored on the card are in MOV format. This is a Windows file, so you will need a Windows machine to watch it. I tried an Android tablet. It saw the files and even gave thumbnails, but refused to play. Windows 10 played it no problem. In the camera settings, I enabled GPS speed logging on the video, even though I don’t have the GPS mount. I just wanted to know how it reacted, and as expected, it reported 000 MPH the whole time. The image seemed fairly crisp for the price. The stamps placed in the videos aren’t as up-to-par, but can be overlooked. The audio wasn’t bad either.

    The camera mount will accept a USB mini B cable while the camera itself can take a micro B cable. It draws power from either. Included with the camera were two cables. One plugs into a standard 12 V port in a car and has a little tab that rotates open to reveal a single USB port. The other is meant for data transfer between the camera and a PC. I haven’t tried, but I would imagine the data cable can also be used to supply power.

    I’m going to go ahead and rate this as a 7/10. As I said before, I haven’t really had a good chance to test this camera yet and I will come back and edit this when I do. If you need yourself a cheap dash cam, I will go ahead and recommend this. I also plan to put up a comparison video at some point comparing this camera to a whole ‘ other make and model (Viofo A119) because I can.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The baleful eye of truth
    Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2019
    A dash cam is needed protection these days. It is the baleful eye of truth. This one is satisfyingly tiny, producing very little intrusion into the driver's field of view — although there is some; on my car it could not be mounted high enough to be fully hidden behind the rear view mirror, because the GPS mount pokes upward when it's rotated to secure the suction cup. You have to leave room for that below the windshield header, so the camera ends up slightly lower than the mirror. If you're short like me you see it, but only just.

    Yet seeing a bit of the camera is a small compromise of neatness in exchange for the security of having this thing on guard in case you ever have to prove who did what, what color the light was, etc. It produces amazingly clear, crisp videos with a very good full-width view. The GPS mount, which is just $30 extra, is essential, I'd say – with the GPS option, video clips display the vehicle speed, to help police evaluate any eye-witless accounts of whatever transpired, should the need arise.

    Note: The supplied power cable is just 10 feet long. That's plenty if you're going to run it along the header, down behind the A-pillar, under the dash and then have it emerge from under there and stay in view plugged into a front-facing 12 volt socket. But I wanted the wire to just vanish completely, so I kept it running out of sight past the shotgun seat and into the centre console compartment, where there's another 12V socket. For that, 10 feet was just exactly enough in my car. For some vehicles a pathway like that might require a longer cable, so it's a good idea to measure your planned cable path before ordering one of these gizmos. Other than that, no worries at all. Setup is intuitive and the documentation is pretty clear, despite some odd language caused by inexpert translation from the original Chinese. I cannot speak to the device's long-term durability, but it seems solid and hefty, and I found no fault with it right out of the box.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and has clear sharp recordings.
    Reviewed in Australia on May 29, 2021
    I really like this cam as it is unobstructively small and operates flawlessly. I find the menu easy to navigate and understand. It is definitely newbie friendly. The recordings are great quality and the detail is nice and sharp. I also found it easy to install in the car and the length of the cable for the cigarette lighter is nice and long. For the price this small cam is great value and would be my first choice if I was going to buy one again. As a side note I would recommend to get the Vantrue micro SD for peace of mind due to unfortunate recording issues with other cards. But having said that I have had no problems with Sandisks for my other Vantrue, but why risk it?

    4.0 out of 5 stars Everything I need... almost. Affordable, simple and effective.
    Reviewed in Canada on March 19, 2021
    I compared the Vantrue N1Pro to the Apeman Dual Cam in a side by side test and the Vantrue won for a number of reasons. The Vantrue is more solid and better made. The control buttons are larger, clearly marked and on the back of the camera, making them easier to access when the cam is mounted. (The Apeman has the buttons on the far side where you can't see them. They all feel the same too.)
    The Vantrue has a ball mount which makes aiming the cam easier than the Apeman.
    The images on the Vantru are better overall, especially the lowlight and night videos.
    CON: The power plugs into the suction mount and both the mount and the camera have exposed contacts which must mesh for the camera to work. Hopefully this won't be an issue but it seems like an unnecessary feature. It would reduce costs and improve reliability if future models just plugged directly into the camera, you know... like every other dash cam does.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good camera at a great price
    Reviewed in Australia on March 21, 2021
    This is a great value for money camera. I got it up and running and all settings set to my preference within about 10 minutes (very easy to setup). The image quality during the day is fantastic. Far superior to my older camera. At night it is also fairly good considering I only paid $89 on Amazon for it. Note screen is small, but still usable to play back directly on it. Alternatively just plug the card into your pc.
    This camera suits my needs for the second car and does everything stated as per the description on Amazon. If your looking for a good camera at a budget price, I would highly recommend this camera.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dash cam with great quality

     I decided to buy this camera after my friend got in car accident. I can honestly say the Vanture N1 pro mini dash cam is a superior product. It takes tiny space in car, without distracting my driving. Installation over the front rear view mirror is simple and quick. Quality of camera is great and it gives wide-angle while it captures the other license plates. This camera provides 24h parking monitor and collison detection.
    All the necesary parts come in the pacakage, with all wiring instructions. You can adjust the settings as per your requirments on recordings. It provides endless recording and G-sensor, which can detect the collison or any happening. The best part is that it comes with optional GPS which helps in tracking the location.
    Vanture N1 pro mini dash cam has been excellent product so far. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for dash cam. It is the best pirchase.
