Thank you! 🥰 Regarding the parking mode that can't behave itself, we can update the dash cam to the latest version VT-EBH182. And this version can also optimize the connection between WIFI and APP. And we also recommend updating the APP to the latest version. If the problem is still the same, please turn off cellular data on the ( Vantrue) app settings on your phone. Any questions, please feel free to contact our support. ☺

Thank you for the extensive video. I have decided to get this camera. Parking mode is not something I could even use in my case because I’d be mounting this in my semi truck to replace my current Garmin. I think in a truck driver’s case this cam is phenomenal because our windshields are so hard to reach to tap a record button, and sometimes the noise levels really mess with voice commands. Thus, having that button to mount on my dash to quickly record a video is a top seller for me. Thanks again, and stay safe out there.

I enjoyed your video, was very comprehensive, I don't really need the parking mode as my car output socket has voltage only the engine is running so i think this will be the best choice for me. As for 2k resolution i find very useful for reading license plates as i was near hit at 60mph by a car which didn't give the right of way in an intersection that wasn't under camera surveillance, when i told that to a police crew they asked me for the license plate or at least a part of it and a make of the car in order to apprehend that driver (who ran away after i went off road because of him). So yes, reading license plates is important for me.

Thanks for the review. I was encouraged to buy this camera, but now I regret it and am about to return it to Amazon. The reason is that the app doesn't work on my iPhone. I have the most up-to-date version of the app as well as the latest version of iOS; however, when I connect to the unit's WiFi, all the app does is spin its wheel in the "live view" screen. It doesn't show the live view, and it won't let me get past that to the various controls in the app. As far as I am concerned, the app is garbage (even though the camera seems good).

Just got mine today… thanks for helping me understand how to use it! I understood you felt it was unimportant but I’d love to know why 1 minute loops are best, and why the time lapse feature wasn’t worth anything… it’s not clear to me whether time lapse records _in addition to_ the standard recording. If so, it might be cool to record a cross-country drive! By the way, one possible use I could see for the redundant USB port on the camera itself is if I get pulled over and want to record myself and the officer, or really anything that isn’t out the front windshield.

The app does not connect with the camera live view or access SD card contents even though WiFi is connected with the phone and camera. If phone app is no issue, I will give 10 out of 10. I’m planning to return it to the seller if Vantrue customer service do not resolve the issue.

I installed mine today. The dash cam comes with a unique mounting method. You attach a clear square screen to your windshield and then the camera adhesive mount sticks to it. Bottom line? It should peel right off with zero adhesive residue when removing the mount if you sell your vehicle. The box contains two clear windshield mounts.

Regarding parking mode. I have N4 camera and parking mode works so that it reacts to G-force and not to visual movement. I have tested while it has been sitting in a window next to the front door in my house and every time I have slammed my door, it started recording for 5 minutes after which it went into parking mode again. No matter how much movement there was in front of the camera. I should not be able to say if it is different in the E1 camera, but it would be strange if it were different and they made 2 different programs/settings.

I installed the E1 in a 2024 Toyota Camry with hardwire kit. The battery wire tapped into the dome fuse for constant power, yet every time the car is turned off the cam says "The dashcam is about to shut down and enter collision detection mode" and there's no green blinking light telling me it's still recording. I know the cam has power because I can connect to it from my phone when the car is fully off. Any idea why this happens?

I have also tried both. First, I had the Garmin Mini 2. Nice camera, but just none of the features other than basic date and time markers (correct me if wrong) plus audio. The Vantrue E1, however, is full featured with date, time, audio, speed, location, etc. The GPS sensor is built into the mount. Size wise, the Vantrue is about as high as the Garmin, but almost twice as wide. But, when mounted, the Vantrue seems "smaller" than it is. The latest software (firmware) version is VT-EBH182. That seemed to fix some issues with time and timezone settings, and may have done more. Vantrue does not expose what firmware updates fix. I have noticed that in Parking mode, when I set it to Collision Detection only, the cam does seem to go into sleep mode unless disturbed, so maybe that was a fix in the latest firmware. I do not use motion detection (or any of the other settings) when in Parking mode. I agree with the Polarizing Filter recommendation, but as of now they are all backordered by at least a month. I ordered one directly from Vantrue, so we'll see how long it takes to get here. (I also ordered one from Amazon as a backup.)

Hello Brian, I'm a sort of paramedic in Italy (it has a different name and level), I'm used to drive ambulances, so I don't really need the parking mode, my purpose is to record the road while in emergency until I reach the target, just in case something unexpected happens, will you suggest this Dash Cam for this purpose? I also have another question, I often change ambulance depending on my schedule and "Station", so the original mount I don't believe it will last long removing it every single day from the windshield, but there is a product called Vantrue Suction Cup (Vantrue N4, N2S, X4S, T3 Dash Cam GPS Receiver Module Type C USB Port Car Suction Cup Mount for Windows and Mac), do you think it is compatible with the Vantrue E1?

I installed the mount before reading the instructions (I mean, who reads instructions?).

My car actually has a 12V socket in the passenger footwell where I could use that and run the wiring along the windshield and A frame pillar, but opted for the hardwire kit because I want to keep the recording and AUDIO going in the event I get pulled over by the police and am told to turn my car off.

I don’t remember what that camera’s specs were offhand, but some dash cams will work on only 5 V, while others need more. I do not remember if the USB-C port on that was only a data port, or if it can be powered off of it as well.

I just took mine out of the box and noticed that the video starts to get grainy when the camera is moved around. Is this normal ?

Possibly. Low bitrate compression does that.

The filters were tested at different times/areas. Without filter- having the sun hit the dashboard; with filter-in the shade. Like how can you make the video and not do side by side comparisons like average people do?

Because you should always have a polarizer on unless most of your driving is at night.

First time that I am going to use a dash cam, and instead of connecting it to the cigarette lighter, I am using an OBD connector.

I'd be nervous about connecting to the ODB. You're better off hardwiring to the fuse box rather than risking damaging something serious by going thru the ODB.

I watch the other reviews and read the directions. It does not turn off and is a pain to download videos ..A pain to operate. If you are giving a review , you need to show how to download video. I tried ..You need a special app or something.. prove me wrong..
