Vantrue E1 Pro 4K Mini Dash Cam Front, STARVIS 2 Plate Pix™ HDR Night Vision Car Dash Camera, Free CPL Filter, 5G WiFi GPS, Voice Control, Remote Live Viewing, 24/7 Parking Mode, Support 1TB Max

Well-made and surprisingly small. Easy to fit and unobtrusive. Unusually, it comes complete with a polarising filter to remove any screen reflections (just twist the filter once fitted until they disappear). Very reasonably priced for a 4k camera with the latest Sony Starvis 2 sensor which produces good, clear video day and night. A one-star review here claims that you can’t power it from a USB C socket but that hasn’t been my experience - it works perfectly for me. The screen is small but usable although it’s easier to set it up initially through the phone app. The only minor issue that I had with it was that if you use the GPS time signal for the internal clock, the daylight saving setting uses the US dates to automatically change in the spring and autumn which are different from the dates we use in the UK. That said, it’s easy enough to set the time manually so not so much a problem as an inconvenience. It does run very warm but no more than my previous dash-cam which lasted several years with any problems.

Im a proffesional drivers who uses daschams to record every minute of my driving so im quite familiar with how unreliable dashcams can be. Ive tried many of the Chinese brands, and Nextbase cameras. No matter the price, the functionality of the Apps are ALWAYS absolutely diabolical and theyve nearly always been very unreliable. Vantrue and Viofo are probably the only well known camera brands I haven't tried. And considering I can't swap Viofos between vehicles due to no suction mounts being available, I thought I'd ditch my Nextbase and give this Vantrue a go! First things first, the aesthetic quality is outstanding, the attention to detail in the design of the box and the camera itself is superb. It really feels like youre opening a high end product. The camera functionality is superb, the menus easy to navigate, and all settings can be adjusted from the App if you'd prefer. The app, unlike most actually functions, most are horrific, always crashing or refusing to function. My nextbase app is basically unusable. This connects quickly, downloads fast and has never crashed on me yet. The camera video quality is 4k, and obviously fantastic as a result, the Plate pix function does work at making number plates slightly more readable by removing the glare, but it does darken the overall video quite considerably. I would prefer a 60fps function as 30fps always struggles to capture numberplates that are moving. It has a super wide angle lense, which is obviously a good thing, however its so wide it makes positioning the camera awkward as it always captures a portion of the unswept area of windscreen which makes the corner of the video appear dirty. But moving it further away from that area means the right hand corner of the video captures the plastic cover for all of the sensors behind the rear view mirror. Annoying for me, but wont affect everyone. Haven't had any issues with overheating, but we shall see what happens in the summer. 4k cameras always get a little warm. Small ones like this always struggles the most. Overall, a good camera so far. **edit** After about 1 months use i found this to be totally useless at capturing registration plates in anything but bright sun. It performs worse than a 6 year old 1080p 60fps dascham. Night performance is beyond disappointing

Video quality on this dashcan was superb but I had to return it as it kept overheating and switching itself off. I think the small size is amazing but it also doesn't allow much room for the heat to dissipate. Have the S1 Pro now and its brilliant.

A superb dashcam. Compact, easy to fit and amazing picture quality by day and night. Fully featured, the app is intuitive and easy to use. GPS is very accurate and using the app, your video file runs concurrently with the movement of your vehicle on the map. It is a cracking bit of kit and I have bought another for the rear of my car to avoid any wires affecting the many airbags in the roof and the sides. Highly recommended.

I have had this in the car now for a few weeks. Its quite neat in size compared to some others, an alternative I had ordered was returned as it wouldn't fit discreetly were as this does. Overall the fitting was straightforward, I use an ODB power supply cable which can keep the camera running for parking mode without allowing the battery to run down and not allow the car to start. Quality wise, in daylight and well lit streets it fine, images are clear and registration plates, road signs etc. are clearly visible so there would be no issues in having to use the footage in an insurance claim or similar. Download speed over the Wi-Fi is as expected, its not the fastest however is useable for transferring clips to a mobile device to watch.

Disappointed, costumer service not helping at all, dashcam heats up when it’s on, to the point you can’t tuch it, and it’s not coz of windshield , it happens even in the house. It takes about 3-5 minutes to heat up till point I can’t tuch it, about 70ish degrees Celsius. And connecting to your phone will cut out most times, and there is no shortcut button to save video but you can save picture, useless. Voice control for it doesn’t work, more like random times saves video coz you sead something, not related to saving video. My biggest problem is heat and I can’t tuch it .

If you need to see the number plate of the offending car you need a good pc or tablet to do this. Does not like old teck. The focus is not great but it was possible to see and incident and details required. It gets very hot when first plugged in I assume it was due to charging the capcitors. I wanted to ask questions to customer support and nearly did a return becuase I could not get the funtion I required. I don;t want to give permission for all my photes on my device to allow the app to work so used an SD card to usb c reader. Does what I need it to do but feel the image could be better.

To start with the packaging is very nice .In the box are clips and trim took for tucking the wires out of site. The app was very easy to set up I connected the dashcam to a battery pack to set it all up rather than in the car. For the money it seems to be good value 4k and polarising lens included for £110 .It is nice and small and has a nice quality weight to it. I have found it a breeze to use and set up.

This is the third one of these that I have purchased. There are two real parts of the install. One is mounting the camera to the windshield, and the second is running the wiring for power to the camera. The camera is really in two parts. The main camera which is a small cube, and an adapter that sticks to the windshield and holds the camera in place. In the box you get a clear sheet that looks like a screen protector that you are supposed to stick to the windshield and you stick the camera to that. After trying this once, either I didn't do it right or it didn't work right. The camera fell off. So I now leave that stuff in the box and stick the mount directly to the glass. (Be sure to clean the glass first). This works well. You do need as Micro-SD card to capture the images. The app needs to be downloaded to see the clips captured but you can also remove the Micro-SD and look at them on a computer or whatever. Unless you just plug in the cable to the camera and drape the wire down to the power port in your car, wiring is more of a problem than sticking the camera to the windshield. The cable with the camera is a usb-c on the camera end and what was called the cigarette lighter plug in the other end. If your car only has USB A or C connectors, you will need to purchase a separate cable. A small tool is provided to lift up trim parts on the car to slide the cable underneath to make it look nice. On some cars (Like my Jeep Wrangler) this is very easy to do. The others were installed on Kia and Hyundai cars which seem to be be build much tighter fits, and were a real pain. The level of difficulty will depend on your car and how hidden you want the cable to be. The camera works well and has an excellent picture quality. If you don't want it recording your conversations in the car, you can mute the microphone. It records in a loop, so older clips get erased when the memory card is full. You should also format the card on a regular basis. How much video you can keep depends on the size of the card you purchase. The only other comment I have is that it does get hot.

I came from the E1 Lite and went from being unable to read a licence plate of a stationary car as I drove past to being able to read anyone's on the road. Almost the same product except higher quality camera and features. Physically identical, very compact.

Buscaba una Dashcam para mis rutas por el asfalto empecé a mirar precios y calidades y afortunadamente di con un vídeo en YouTube que explicaba todas sus características y funcionalidades. Me decanté a un sin conocer esta marca y he de decir que, aunque llevo pocos días con ella, estoy súper contento con la compra. Calidad excepcional a un precio bastante moderado. En comparación con otras marcas. Pequeña compacta y a todo el que esté pensando en comprarse una cámara de este estilo se la recomiendo porque no se va arrepentir.

Die VANTRUE E1 Pro 4K HDR STARVIS 2 Dashcam ist ein herausragendes Gerät für das Wohnmobil, das mich in jeder Hinsicht überzeugt hat. Die Aufnahmequalität ist außergewöhnlich: Dank 4K-Auflösung und HDR liefert die Kamera gestochen scharfe, detailreiche Videos selbst bei schwierigen Lichtverhältnissen. Besonders beeindruckend ist der STARVIS-2-Sensor, der klare Aufnahmen bei Dämmerung und in der Nacht ermöglicht – ein deutlicher Pluspunkt für Fahrten in der Früh oder am Abend. Die Installation im Wohnmobil war unkompliziert. Die Dashcam sitzt stabil hinter der Windschutzscheibe, ohne zu stören oder den Blick einzuschränken. Der integrierte G-Sensor arbeitet zuverlässig und speichert automatisch relevante Aufnahmen bei plötzlichen Brems- oder Stoßsituationen. So hat man im Fall der Fälle schnell Beweis- und Dokumentationsmaterial parat. Auch die Menüführung und Bedienung sind intuitiv. Die Einstellungen lassen sich einfach anpassen, und das Display zeigt alle relevanten Informationen übersichtlich an. Die App-Integration funktioniert reibungslos, sodass man Videos direkt auf das Smartphone übertragen kann. Die Verarbeitungsqualität der VANTRUE E1 Pro ist solide und für den mobilen Einsatz bestens geeignet. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt, denn man erhält eine technisch starke Dashcam, die speziell für Wohnmobil-Reisen optimale Sicherheit und Dokumentation bietet. Insgesamt klare Empfehlung für alle, die Wert auf hohe Bildqualität, Zuverlässigkeit und einfache Bedienung legen. Eine Investition, die sich auf der Straße schnell bezahlt macht.

I bought this Dash camera about 1 year ago. The video quality is awesome; I can read license plates of other cars even at night. Best part is its size; it does not obstruct your view like other dash cams, it is really small. I would recommend getting the polarizing filter, no glare from the sun or other light sources once I attached the polarizing filter. One thing to note is that the camera runs a bit hot during summer, I think it is due to its compact size but does not overheat or crash. The video quality and the app is really good, one of my best purchases from amazon so far.
