Vantrue N4 Pro
N4 Pro and N4 Pro S, three cameras: front, cabin and rear

- Cameras
- Three: front 4K, cabin and rear 1080p
Why it ranks here. The three-camera setup everything else gets measured against: front, cabin and rear, a STARVIS 2 sensor up front that reads plates, and a build that has made it through three summers parked in the Texas sun with no shade. Former Viofo owners call the app night and day easier for pulling clips.
The suction mount lets go every few weeks in South Florida heat. Three cameras mean thick wiring that is a chore to route, and the screen is tiny. A few Reddit users distrust Vantrue after bad luck with its other models.
What owners like
- Survives summer heat
- Sharp plates from a STARVIS 2 sensor
- Easy app
What owners complain about
- Mount falls in heat
- Thick wiring
- Tiny screen

I've got a Vantrue N4 Pro too. I park my car outside in the sun with no shade, and it's made it through 3 summers without any issues.

This cam use a 3M adhesive mount with an electrostatic sticker so it stays firmly in place. I’ve got one myself and usually park in the garage. If you want to extend its lifespan, parking in a cooler spot is always a good idea. Heat can really damage anything.

I live in the South. I picked up the same model as you back in Feb and installed it in my black Truck. So far, it’s running great! Hoping it survives at least three summers down here.

South Florida, same cam, I put the camera away so I can put my sunshade up (and avoid theft temptation), and the suction cups falls every few weeks. No biggie though

N4 pro has the newer starvis 2 sensor which is somewhat better. N4’s records front 1440p, interior 1440p and rear 1080 when in 3 channel mode so if you want 4K recording in the front, you need to disable the interior camera. N4 pro records at 4K, 1080p and 1080p respectively.

I've had such poor experiences with Vantrue that I would never consider any of their shitty products.

I made the exact same mistake and found it worth it to upgrade to the Pro so I don't have to pull the SD card to download video. Just as an aside, the wiring for the N4 is the exact same as the Pro. I merely swapped the cameras and returned the N4 - no need to uninstall and reinstall everything.

LOL, "I'll take the good one and put the POS one in my wife's car" LOL

Very helpful, detailed review. I have run two Vantrue single channel models for several years. Still running, although I do no leave them when parked outside due to our extreme heat. I have a mirror mount but I'm curious if this model is not easy to remove for storage? Vantrue is one of those brands that offers solid build quality although seem to be not as well known due to less hype compared to some. Thanks!

Great video has always n review....im def going 2 try this cam now. I personally had bad experiences with my Viofo a139. Both interior and rear cameras went out after 9mnths then now 1.5yrs lator I have a completely dead A139 main unit. For the price they didnt last anywhere what I thought. Hope this unit is alot better.....Viofo a139 😞👎
