I have been a vantrue user since 2018. I started out only using the Vantrue N2 Pro and since I really like the quality of the picture inside and outside I decided to try the S1 4k front and rear camera in 2023. I really liked how clear the video was and how easy it was to see little details like license plates. One thing that I think is overlooked is the ability to identify a driver in an accident. For some people it may have occurred where a driver may claim someone else was driving to their insurance and a number of problems could arise. However with the quality and detail the video was able to capture, I avoided a headache and was able to claim 0% fault for an accident that the driver made very difficult to get resolved until I gave my insurance the video.After this incident I purchased 2 more S1 4k front and rear cameras and made sure all of our vehicles had them. As great as they have been, recently while driving, one of the cameras actually went completely black and refused to turn on or record. The sd card was fine I was able to access all the video before the camera failed but it was disappointing to have such a great camera fail.After some thoughts about whether or not to purchase another one, I decided to check what the warranty on the camera was and sure enough I was lucky enough to be 20 days from its expiration. I contacted the customer support and they were very easy to deal with. Most of the conversation was through email but I still believe it was handled in a timely fashion. The customer support gave me a few suggestions to try to see if the camera would reboot or reset however they were unsuccessful. Unfortunately the camera was discontinued but the person that was helping me was able to help me upgrade to the S1 Pro 2.7k with almost no additional cost. This camera has all the best features of the previous generation and now with the ability to view the video on your phone, has made it all the more impressive. I am very happy that the camera is now able to take a 512gb sd card. Too little memory was one of my biggest if not my only concerns with the previous generation.I have test the camera out for a little over a week and the quality as well as the clarity has not diminished but has really improved. It is a really convenient feature that I can download a video directly from the camera to my phone and to top it all the download/ transfer speed is very fast. I strongly recommend Vantrue dash cameras to my family and I plan to give a few to my relatives.Even if you have doubts I believe their warranty claims process was one of the easiest I have ever had to deal with. I strongly recommend the Vantrue S1 Pro but if this is not the camera for you I advise you check out their other cameras as well.

I bought this because my original dash cam was starting to die. It had a good run and I got a good 10+ years out of it, but it was no longer reliable in that sometimes it wouldn't even power on. It was finally time for me to purchase a new one and I figured I might as well splurge a bit especially if I'm going to be using it for another 10+ years.I had read some recommendations from dashcam sites and dashcam subreddits and the brand Vantrue was always popping up so when this showed up in my search results, I took a more detailed look. Everything looked great. Price was good, high resolution cameras, front and back cams, lots of features, and great overall reviews from hundreds of other buyers.I immediately installed this one and have been testing it over the past 2 weeks... and it is EXCELLENT! My original dashcam was rated at 1080p but the actual footage seemed closer to 540-720p, and looked a lot worse when lighting conditions weren't optimal. Basically, it just wasn't clear enough to identify things, especially when it got dark.This new dash cam was a day and night difference. There's not much of a comparison which is expected since my other dashcam is over a decade old. Video quality is noticeably better in the Vantrue, and individual video frames from the video are less blurry compared to my older dashcam, which is an improvement that isn't talked about enough (very important if you need to pull images from a video).I never had a dual cam system before, so this is my first experience with one. But so far, it's been working great. The resolution isn't as good as the front, but it's good enough for the rear. It also captures as a much wider angle than the front. In my lifetime, I've seen a few hit and runs from the person who rear ended another car, so this just gives me another layer of protection.I've always hated the button controls on dashcams. My old one was horrible, in that I could never get to where I want in the menu because of the limited buttons and depending on which screen you're on, the function of the buttons change. This buttons for the vantrue is at least logical, but like other dashcams, they still leave a lot to be desired. But thankfully, there's an app that lets you connect directly to the camera. This makes getting to videos so much easier and is one of the major selling points for me. I've been in accidents where I had trouble pulling up videos on the unit itself to rewatch while on the scene. Never again!There's tons of other features that I haven't played with... and one I'm particularly interested in is the 24/7 park mode (afraid it'll drain my battery). I do want to try to get that enabled in the near future as it pretty much turns the car into a security camera if you're parked in front of your house.Installation-wise, it's pretty straightforward. The dashcam is mounted to the windshield using double sided tape, and you power it using a usb-c cable (so much better than my old micro-usb). The rear camera plugs into another usb-c port that's on the front camera. The provided cord for the rear camera is long to reach a minivan. There's also an included tool to help you tuck the wires underneath the liners in your car for a seamless look. I went slow in my installation and the whole process took me about 30 min.The only con I would probably give it is the double sided sticky tape mount. I prefer a suction cup mount (nothing permanent)... but that's probably more of a preference than a con. The only reason I say this is because my back window is tinted and I didn't want to risk the double sided tape damaging the tint, so I decided to purchase a suction mount separately, then stick the rear cam onto the suction mount.Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this product. I am considering a second unit for my wife. She is currently using a small garmin dashcam (it's nice because it doesn't get in the way) but the video quality of that one leaves a lot to be desired.
