Hardwire Vantrue N4 Dashcam Install - 2021 Silverado

In todays video we install a Vantrue N4 Dashcam on my 2021 Chevy Silverado! We hardwire the dashcam so that it records 24/7! If you have any questions drop a comment and i will try to answer them! This install should be very similar on all vehicles.

Great video. Simple, to the point, no b.s. great job sir.

[@paulgrattan8504]

There's no reason to strip the additional panel below for a ground - there is a ground bolt to the right of the fuse panel, it's tucked behind the wiring bundle. You also do not need to remove the handle or disconnect the battery. There is a perfect pathway for wiring behind the seal, then behind the top of the handle trim, then across the header at the top of the windshield. Clean install, half the work.

[@kastorman]

Yeah - but then wouldn’t the power wire be in front of the curtain airbag (which i believe extends to above the window)?

[@moparftw]

​@@kastormanwho cares? Airbag isn't gonna be bothered by a little 20ga wire, it's pushing hard plastic out of it's way already

[@warnergt]

Thanks! This is what I just did.

[@ezequiasquezada5238]

Same

[@BenjaminSmith-p1b]

Very helpful video - only difference on my install was my truck (2500) using the 3-wire kit instead of the 2-wire. Supplied constant power same as you via the UGDO F3 fuse and used the MISC R/C F23 fuse for the switched power lead. Thanks for posting!

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

Do you know what exactly the UGDO and the MISC R/C handle?

[@TheGnthreman]

Thanks for that information

[@tweker69]

Airbags can retain power for up to 20 minutes after disconnecting the battery. FYI

[@sanchezmas54]

Wow 😯

[@1kalwayshim]

Thanks for the video bro!! The install was just as shown and it saved me sometime looking for a hard wire fuse. Again thanks

[@runnerguy0329]

Thank you for doing such a straightforward real person video with helpful information

[@ernestmorales1023]

Thank you ! I have the chevy 2021 1500 duramax. I recieved the N7. For Christmas . I'm about to hard wire it . You're video was great 👍 👌

[@howardpower]

Excellent video!!! I have a 2021 Camry but also have the exact same dashcam as you so this was a nice tutorial to get mine hard wired as well. Even though we have different vehicles, they're all the same setup. Fuses are fuses, and setups are exactly the same. Just in different locations.

[@yzwme586]

hey i have a 2021 camry as well, which fuse did you end up going with to hardwire it?

[@MotoBound]

Just got done installing my dashcam. I used f3 for constant and f20 for acc. The source of 12v dc is coming from the lower pin on f3. So your fuse tap should be orientated the opposite way if im correct. Thanks for the video

[@warnergt]

My F20 had no power. I plugged the constant adapter into F3. Then, I plugged the ACC adapter into the constant adapter. I don't understand why it needs two power sources.

[@MikeMaldonado]

Did you not hook up the rear camera?

[@LakaiGirlAppsSkill]

the video is phenomenal. the audio seems kind of muffled. great stuff. i think this is a top contender for my next vehicle.

[@mychy31]

Looks fantastic!

[@Stiff_Richards]

how come u didnt install the rear camera ?

[@jlautomotive6349]

Another great video!! Been thinking of one for a while but now with a new vehicle in our driveway I am definitely going to look into this!! Thank you for the video 👍

[@victorbernal4940]

Keep up the videos 👍🏼 enjoying them

[@gideonmalterre1500]

Thanks for doing this video, install was so easy! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@ckabbott2154]

Thanks for the install video, install was a breeze in my 2021 trail boss

[@americanoutdoorstv7648]

Need more stuff with Larry!

[@tweker69]

We need a video on this n4 dashcam on how to get your footage from cam to disk or flash drive for ticket dismissal

[@kys3285]

The dash cam uses a micro sd card. With the dates of the recordings in the file, Transfers will be the easiest thing.

[@karloz25]

Thank you. Very easy with your directions. 5Stars!

[@FJRM1994]

Question 🙋🏽‍♂️ I just get the same camera running 24/7 it’s any way possible that you can turn off the lcd screen or stay always on? The last one that you got in your truck last at least 2 years with the screen always on? Thank you 🤟🏾

[@MarcusWolfWanders]

yes, there are settings to change the screen's sleep timer or keep it on always

[@colindowdell4371]

How do you run the rear wire through the truck bed for rear license plate cams?

[@jacobrussell2388]

There is a ground behind the fuse box.

[@drewbush6535]

So you just stuck the wire under the fuse holder? You didn't use a add a circuit fuse holder?

[@matthewreyes5792]

With the camera running 24/7 has your battery died on the Silverado?

[@danielmiddleton2900]

No it can’t. The fuse adapter has a built in cut off to ensure it does not drain the battery to low.

[@daltonstansberry2010]

you gonna throw sportsman seat covers on again? i bought some after seeing your reviews!

[@lmfscrew]

We shall see!

[@BillPreece-yv4sc]

Great video. Good job.

[@Overpar73]

Have you had any problems with the battery and Dash cam with hard wiring it in? I have a Mini Garmin and it keeps draining my battery so I have to unplug it when parked. I bought the wiring sensor for the camera/battery and still have problems. I will try the F3 tap like you have and see how that works. By the way I have a red 2021 Tahoe High Country that I have blacked out everything.

[@wellthatsretarded2591]

.

[@ronnyfen2406]

I'm just installing my vantrue N4 in my 2022 Silverado using this video for guide. Doesn't work ! hardwiring the usb C to a 12v fuse didn't power on the dash cam. I check the vantrue 12v cigarette connector it output 5v 3.5A. How your's work?

[@luisserrano4774]

Nice truck man

[@Italianborn]

I was really intrigued , but the thought of splicing wires into my fuses throw me off the rails… just bought this truck not looking to void warranty..maybe i can get them to install it even tho paying more at least it will be covered..

[@ericcabrera5260]

You can also get the OBD version, so you don’t have to do any splicing

[@savagei6130]

The Macho Man likes this video! Ooooooooooooooh Yeeeeeeeeaaaaahh! Dig It!

[@brantdallas4662]

Thanks for the great video.

[@Diego02567]

Which setting did you set for the battery voltage protection to prevent the battery drain in parking mode?

[@SittingBearProd]

An average dash cam is such a low draw it doesn’t matter much.

[@TheGnthreman]

My hard wire kit has a red and yellow wire. Do i need both?

[@abelramirez7391]

So I had the dash cam installed on my wife’s Subaru and hardwired but it drains the battery in park mode. It’s suppose to stop getting power from the battery once it detects it’s getting low🤷🏽‍♂️

[@adrielitodad.214]

Did yours not come with the yellow fuse tap and red one too

[@sajidusanbr8251]

Hi ,thanks for nice video, one question how to find right fuse in rx350 2012 lexux

[@donschmidt3398]

My Vantrue NS4 popped off the windshield - how do I re attach it. How do I reset the suction cup mount lever?

[@Steve10MR]

Where can I purchase the hardwire kit, I ordered mines but it didn't come with one.

[@vinjam04]

I used fuse F3 on my 2021 Silverado and my dash cam wired with a smart harness, shuts down every time I stop and the auto stop kicks in. I have to disable auto stop for my dash cam to continue recording as im driving. I need to find another fuse or figure out why this is happening.

[@rcothowally3630]

Did you use a low voltage indicator just in case the battery is low and you don’t want the camera draining your battery. Also what fuse did you use again? I have a Chevy Silverado 2019 and think I need a dash cam. Even rear view.

[@KnowYourRights2024]

Does your 2021 use the 3 prong fuse? My 2023 Silverado has the 3 prong fuse and Vanture Support is confused by my question.

[@jarrond818]

Your audio wasn't coming through on inside of the cab

[@jontsnow6180]

I had my camera installed at a shop. It doesn't power on or catch movement in parking mode while the car is off, otherwise the camera works great. It has to be hooked up to the wrong fuse or is the camera defective?

[@ZERO_42069]

On my truck (23 custom) that use is empty and says not used, what other fuse would work?

[@arielRUN]

Great Video.

[@RobertBuchanan-x2l]

How does this affect a warranty?

[@danielmiddleton2900]

Did that fuse end up working in the long run?

[@omgitxalex3914]

your hardwiring kit doesn't have a yellow wire that mine does and now i'm stuck lol

[@markmidkiff7048]

May be a stupid question and you may have covered it. But being on a continuous fuse have you not had battery issue?

[@shakenbake11]

so it draws power 24/7? doesn't drain battery?

[@bishopgeorge1333]

Hello sir, so what fuses did you use to records 24/7 I have a silverado high country?

[@Jbmc65]

Did you buy the install kit that comes with those add a circuit with the fuse? I have a 2018 Sierra and I suppose it is just about like yours, close anyhow. Thanks John

[@karloz25]

Amazon has them. Yes the kit has a piggyback fuse to it. So both fuses share one slot.

[@jackbauer8699]

Wish u went over the features with us

[@sirdonlewis851]

I have a 2021 yukon denali and my fuse box is the same setup as your Silverado. The F3 fuse you used, do you know if it is a switch or constant fuse wire? Also does your camera stay on 24/7 and does it run your car battery down. I have the same Vantrue 4 with hard wire kit and trying to install myself but I had trouble finding the right fuse to tap into with the add a fuse. So I am thinking of using the F3 fuse you used.

[@lukashajek3132]

Hi, if I want hardwire N4 for Parking Monitor use, it is still possible and some-how working, that camera turn-on full recording when i start engine? Many thanks! :)

[@rodeerex4413]

Did your rear interior lights stop working once you plugged in the dash cam?

[@Stiff_Richards]

so you keep this camera running 24/7? the screen just stays on?

[@MarcusWolfWanders]

there are settings to change the screen's sleep timer or keep it on always

[@nathanh.4263]

Does this camera have continuous recording that overwrites the oldest video? So where it's like automated

[@DIYROBOTS]

Thank you!

[@Dying_Breed.300]

What about the yellow wire?

[@clay727]

Did you install 2nd camera or did I miss it?

[@lmfscrew]

I didn’t, might in the future

[@SomeDude3000]

Does the N4 have app to use with it? Also how well is the app functional with the camera? Great video by the way.

[@julianpavlock6943]

Always got to have it

[@chatty9856]

How are you watching the video? My Garmin sucked at watching the video. Are u using the app? SD card through your computer? What about park mode? Do u have to DL it to see the footage. No KZbin vid shows this and it’s important.

[@deysimedina1175]

Hey quick question installing this did it ever give you a issue?

[@ajaly6447]

Can you connect n4 3channel to your phone...??

[@deirickrosas5096]

Did the suction cup have any issues on the tint?

[@ryans3067]

Where did you connect the acc wire to?

[@brianespinosa9152]

I’m looking for the same thing.

[@brianespinosa9152]

I found it. Connect it here I just got mine to work. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XIk3yMfJuWntE

[@ryans3067]

​@Brian Espinosa I went and got another micro2 fuse tap at autozone and tapped it into the heated steering wheel. Since I reside in Florida no need for the heated steering wheel.

[@theluxlyfe]

Bad guy!

[@zrod6721]

Did you have any computer issues on the truck after disconnecting the battery?

[@carlosgillihan5024]

Have you contacted your iPhone to Apple car play yet

[@angelcontreras9301]

Can larry clear some 37s ?

[@EDGEDMAX]

Was there hardly any sound from the dash cam or was that on my end?

[@smokeinapeterbilt]

I had to turn my volume all the way up to hear him on the dashcam. Maybe the mic on the dashcam isn't as good as the one he has on his cameras that he makes the videos with.

[@hillbillydelux75]

I drive too crazy to be recording myself ( never reckless but I’m sure frowned upon my habits )

[@adammorin4162]

I’m the same way lol

[@ec5338]

Just pop the memory stick out

[@Jbmc65]

I bought the inside recording because cops like to lie about people not wearing seatbelts. That’s the only reason I have in vehicle cam.

[@teelyclint2382]

What is the dashcam app that we must use?

[@MarcusWolfWanders]

there is no app. pull the micro SD and insert into preferred device, or plug cam into computer (unmount and bring to computer, or bring laptop to vehicle)

[@christopherbell7655]

How will it stand up to heat where you are located?

[@lmfscrew]

Never had an issue with the last one there

[@thefutureisgrim9391]

A dash cam throughs fault codes on mine.

[@jackbauer8699]

How do you pull the footage? On an app?

[@MarcusWolfWanders]

remove cam from mount and plug into computer or bring laptop to vehicle to plug into cam or eject micro SD card from cam, insert into adapter and insert adapter into preferred device I use a micro SD to USB-A and a USB-A to USB-C so I can yank the card whilst sitting in my vehicle, and watch on my phone using the OTG feature

[@wac8516]

notice you didn't have Mic turned on. see you talking as if your talking about camera but hear nothing. also don't care for recording inside truck I only care about what going on outside. I guess if someone was putting the hurt on you inside you'd have that for court. hard wire set I've seen had 2 wires besides the ground wire to plug in fuse box. maybe yours is just different. what size SD card did you use?

[@kalonjohnson28]

Does it tell speed?

[@ladygoldenslim]

It only comes with section mount u have to buy the Vanture "Windshield GPS Mount" separate. When u buy this dashcam it comes with a chance to win 1 but ur better off just buying yours.

[@lilCHIQUIS1]

I guess the sound is not good.

[@donearl6675]

👍😍❗

VanTrue is a subsidiary of Shenzhen Yidian Zhuoyue Technology Co.,Ltd which is owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party. Garmin is headquartered in Olathe, Kansas, and last time I checked the Chinese don’t own Kansas.

WHEELS AND TIRES !!

[@luismilian3315]

Hardwiring don't that drain your battery

[@MitchellPhillips]

Broke clip at a pillar. Dang

[@connermcclure9128]

We need New baby squat for the 2021 Silverado

[@biglemms]

Nice video! Very well done as well as the excellent and complete install. Best thing is I found yours first and don't need to follow my KZbin system of retard, expert, OEM. I'll just go with expert.

[@scottlewis1603]

Don’t hardwire dashcams. They sell battery packs just for dashcams.
