VanTrue Nexus 5 dashcam FULL REVIEW

[@AliMohamed-tr1ii]

Great video. I ended up getting their nexus 4 pro. It’s a little cheaper but has 4k front with one 1080p rear and in cabin cameras. All at 30 frames per second.

[@stantonroyce9377]

N4 is best at license capture moving at night than ALL current dash cams, But no buffered parking and other features, only records 12+ seconds after parked incident.

[@MikeDancy]

I didn’t know that. Thanks. I have an E3 video coming up soon

[@pauldiam0nd]

Dude I got this camera for the exact same reason. I live in South Florida and that driving nonsense goes on every day

[@MrTheomighty1]

I installed this exactly camera in my sons car and I had hard wired it in to the car rather than to use the cigarette lighter port, I did have to purchase the hardwired kit and the sd card separately which by now you’d have thought a camera for such an expensive camera would already come with the unit and to add the updates once installed you have to reset the country and time

Privacy mode disables recording from the cabin cameras.

Currently priced at $399, plus a $80 instant rebate on Amazon!

[@spamlessaccount]

Was that night view what they advertised as "IR"? It was pretty terrible.

[@MikeLandwolf]

You need “High Endurance” sd cards for every dash or surveillance cam, samsung makes one of the best high endurance cards, those cards are meant to be overwritten abused and used non stop. Sandisk 98% of other companies dont make sd cards for dash or surveillance cameras.

[@ThePowersSix]

2024 and it's still hard to read plates with dash cams. I work for a nationwide forwarder for automotive repossessions and our recovery agents have licence plate readers that I want to say can capture plates from a decent distance. I wonder why dash cams don't have better readability of plates.

[@MikeDancy]

That would be an interesting job. Do they work with dark plate covers?

[@ThePowersSix]

@@MikeDancy yes. They actually produce a very clear image, even at night. When the technology first came out I remember getting LPR hits from billboards, business signs, different types of signage not even resembling a license plate lol. Gotten a lot better since then. Recovery agents have spotter cars that drive thru apartment complexes, malls, business you name it and they take scanned plates with the GPS coordinates. If a scanned plate comes back as being out for repossession a tow driver is notified and the car is taken. The readers (multiple usually )are mounted outside the vehicle however.

[@thejuan718]

The adhesive for me was amazing but you have to use that primer that comes with it, just make sure that's where you want it cus it ain't coming off

[@AsRelaxLounge]

I just bought an N5 and I hardwired it. Everything works well but I have that issue the SD Card is full after 2 days. It doesn’t overwrite

[@Ohmed_88]

U need to go into ur settings and change that.

[@Ohmed_88]

There is an option for it overwriting the oldest footage. The only footage that it won't overwrite is anything u saved. But there is 100% a setting u can change!

[@Breakhoven]

Hi. Which resolution do you use for the parking mode and how many GB is your SD card? So in parking mode will recording only 2 days? Ohhh. Im thinking about get one Vantrue dashcam N4 still worth it or better this one?

[@stantonroyce9377]

​​@@BreakhovenN4 vs 5: several video show 4 captures moving night plates definitively better than ALL other current dash cams. BUT N4 parking mode records 12 or more seconds after the event has happened. N5 has buffered parking mode and numerous other features N4 lacks. Put in more than 100 hours reading and videos. If 5 captured plates at night as well as 4, It would be installed in my 8-passenger van already. Will probably get the n5 soon.. now researching connecting 5 to And what brand of? ...two paralleled battery packs.

[@azaddokht7264]

I am also planning to by N5. So can share your experience so far. are you satisfied with it? How about installation? was it easy?

[@RishavRajrishav]

Which SD card did you try?

[@theheroes6177]

Hi Mike, quick question if u have time respond pls, I’m doing Uber and Lyft, and I have the same N5, so the problem with this, it is showing the last few minutes videos, basically three videos for four sides, I don’t know if explain it well, I hope you get it what I’m trying to say, so how should I find the whole video or the whole trip video, and I have the 512gb sd card as well, so it just shows the last moment of my trip or whatever, any idea ?💡 Thanks in advance 🎉

[@MikeDancy]

So it’s only showing 3 of the 4 cameras and not showing the whole trip? The 3/4 might be fixed in settings in resolution. You need to make sure that all 4 cameras are selected. I just had this issue with the E3. For the duration, what do you have the recording length set to? It could be 1/3/5 minutes. Do you not see everything in the card? Any chance you could upload your own KZbin video and send it?

[@theheroes6177]

@@MikeDancy ok got it, I believe the resolution is set for one minute, I will change that to 5 minutes instead, I hope that works, otherwise I will take a look at theirs manual 📕 Thanks for your time brother much appreciated!

[@WalterHolliday]

Thank you for providing this review - I had already purchased this N5 camera system. However, I purchased a 512Gb memory card with an "A2" on it by mistake. Your warning about the memory card speed saved me the headaches of using the slower card. I purchased 2 of the A1 cards as I will be doing ride-share driving and would like to be able to switch cards in the event of an incident.

[@steve8700]

Class A2 is much faster than A1. I'm not sure why you would purchase the A1 if you're looking for faster speeds. #Ridiculous

[@charleshines2142]

I had a Nextbase 622GW and it could not capture license plates well enough. Too grainy. I don't care if the camera has any special AI function for it or not. I can open the video in VLC media player and copy any frame or I can even open the clip in different software and extract all of the frames or choose a segment of it and extract just those ones. The latter option is good if the video is a little bit blurry because you can flip through the frames you wanted to find the one that came out the best.

[@charleshines2142]

I live in a place with bad drivers too. I live on a back road and some people feel the need to have a tire on the double yellow lines. Maybe they are texting, being an @-hole (no shortage of those), or they just don't like getting too close to the edge of our sometimes horrible roads understandably.

[@VideoNOLA]

Not sure if mentioned: You have to redo ALL those settings every time you update the dash cam's firmware (via OTA/WiFi).

[@MikeDancy]

Interesting. I did not know that

[@TechWiz1983]

Appreciate the review! Had the previous version, ordering this one now. Thank you for your time.

Try living in New York City 😅 my fellow NYer thank you! Just purchased the N4 Pro & realize there is a N5 🤦🏻‍♀️so I will buy this one instead. I wish it had side view cameras on each side, like a real 360° view. Either way the video is clear, I like it and it's far better than any dashcam I've came across.

[@MikeDancy]

I sometimes run a couple of GoPros on each side of the car when I know I’m going to a “target rich zone”

[@ikarugaxx3749]

You can have "real 360-degree" view. Buy 2 2-chanel sets... and in case hardwire both of them (possible) if you want the 360-view when parked as well.

[@carlbordelon]

Curious why you didn't set the resolution to its maximum setting for the front camera?

[@MikeDancy]

it gets a bit choppy on the card trying to record 4K. it needs a really fast card to process 4 cameras at once.

[@ironbull2003]

Compared to my VanTrue N4? Honestly? This looks like a downgrade. The fact that front/rear cameras aren't both 4k is absurd. 😮

[@Bob22.09]

Thanks for the great video. Is it capable to record 24 hours also during parking? Thanks

[@MikeDancy]

It can be set up to record motion while parked. But you’ll need to hardware it for that

[@DxSxFx4Him]

Are you able to turn off the cabin camera? Or is that always recording once powered?

[@MikeDancy]

I didn't see a setting for that but I'm going to review another VanTrue dashcam in a week or two. It is almost the same camera but no lenses in the cabin.

[@reynapeng]

Yes, this dash cam has 5 recording modes, so you can select front + rear recording mode if you want to turn off the cabin camera.

[@jaygolden4218]

How does this work if someone side swipes you in a parking lot? have to checked that out???

if you want it to record while the car is off, you'll need to install a hard wire kit. They do cost extra.

With the front facing camera, is there only one angle that the camera can be attached at to the windshield? I’m worried that with the angle of my windshield and not being able to adjust the camera, the frame of my shot will not be right.

The camera itself can be moved up and down but not left and right

[@davedsn63]

what was your solution for keeping the camera attached to the windshield?

Still cannot find cam that records side impacts. Mind have to resort to four Vantrue E1's.

[@MikeDancy]

Or just two x dual channel that have both front and rear. Mount the main units back and front, the sides could handle the rear cameras. You’d need to mount them on stationary windows though. Might be a fun video to make.

How long is the cable for the rear cameras? Does the cable long enough for Lexus RX350L?

It was long enough plus some for my CRV. It was 20 feet.

[@OwenL2020]

I have a Dodge Durango, it's a longer vehicle and I had a ton of slack that I had to hide under the roof skirting. It has plenty of length. It's also just a normal USB C cable. So you could potentially just get a custom size and use your own.

I'm in Australia and purchased this Vantrue N4 Pro 4K dashcam for my Mazda 2 (2020) and found on opening the box that it is very heavy and BIG. the N5 model shares the same badly designed housing as the N4. There is no reason from a design standpoint to make the whole that heavy and the cord (from the cigarette lighter) is not long enough to hide it in the panels so it had to go direct and in front of the dash - very ugly arrangement. The double sided tape that came with the factory couldn't hold the dashcam on the windscreen because it is THAT heavy. I got rid of the factory tape and used a 3M tape and it also couldn't hold it on the windscreen due to the WEIGHT. Moved to using Loctite superglue and it held only for a few days. I'm considering throwing it in the trash bin. This device is too heavy for ANY glue to hold it on the windscreen. Very badly designed. Product not tested at all.If you live in a country that has a normal summer (30+ C), you wont be able to keep it glued to the windscreen. Highly recommend you do NOT buy this dashcam. You have been warned.

[@MikeDancy]
