N2X 2.7K Dash Cam Front and Inside, STARVIS 2 PlatePix Car Camera | IMX675 Sensor, HDR+IR Night Vision, F/1.8 Aperture, 5G WiFi & GPS, 60fps, App/Voice Control, G-Sensor, 24/7 Parking Mode

My windshield was shattered by an unidentified object on the highway in Feb. It was the aha moment for me that forced me to do some research and get a dashcam for myself. I am glad I got this one in the end, and felt it deserved a 6 month user review/tip sharing here. The best setup for the Vantrue N2X in my humble opinion is: 1. Get the dashcam, follow the manual included in the box to place cleanly on your windshield 2. Get Vantrue's microSD card (sold separately, I got the 256 GB, ASIN: B07WWCLHGM) 3. Download the Vantrue App on your phone, connect your N2X to your phone wifi for instant view/edits. 4. Get Vantrue's Hardware Kit for Parking Mode (sold separately, ASIN: B083XB8T7T) 5. Watch the brilliant youtube tutorial carefully for how to tuck your wires away from sight professionally and/or how to hard wire the Hardware Kit to your vehicle safely (Look up "How to SAFELY Install a Dash Camera in a Car with Airbags (Hard Wire and Rear Cam)" by ChrisFix) Can this work without the hardware kit or without watching the tutorial clip? Yes, as long as you get a functioning microSD card with the N2X and just plug it in your cigarette lighter port, it works fine. The manual will get you there. You will however have a dangling USB-C wire hanging from your N2X down to your cigarette lighter port. So you will want to at least watch sections of the tutorial clip above (start at 11:05 for dashcam installation, and 13:00 for tucking the wires away like magic, clip uses a different Vantrue model but works across the board), poof, like a pro, no more wires hanging above or below. Now, do I really need that hardware kit? No, if you have a garage and live and go about in safe neighborhoods most of the time, no, it's not worth the hassle. But if you park on the street or an open parking lot and/or go outdoors a lot, I would definitely recommend getting the kit. Without the kit, you can't use the Parking Mode, which uses minimal vehicle power without draining your vehicle battery overnight and records when the motion sensor detects vibration/collision when your vehicle is parked (hence "Parking Mode"). ChrisFix goes above and beyond in the tutorial clip showing you patiently how to hard-wire the kit to the right fuse box sockets. Do I need that Vantrue App on my phone? Not really, but it's handy since you can view your front/back camera and make edits right away on a bigger screen versus toggling on the dashcam or waiting until you get home and plug the microSD to your computer. Once you have everything set up (you'll be glad you did all the work), you can enjoy your N2X working quietly almost out of sight at full functionality. The mount is super easy the detach and reattach the N2X, the size is just right under the rear view mirror, love that GPS is included, and for me 256 GB was plenty enough SD space. I generally check and reformat after a week's recording. The Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 5M CMOS sensor really captures a lot of detail when recording and HDR gives shadows and night recordings life. You can see license plates quite clearly as long as you're within a car's length away. Audio recording is decent for the purpose of a dashcam. I have the sensitivity of Collision Detection set at 5 (highest level) that triggers Event recording the easiest. Little bumps or anything the N2X detects and records is stored in your SD card "Event" folder. Other recordings show up in the "Normal" folder that will overwrite itself when full if you don't clear or reformat it. If you have Parking Mode on, those will show up in "Parking" folder. This was my first dashcam purchase, and it's still running strong after 6 months. I can't speak for how well this compares with other models, but this was a really good bang for the buck for my purpose.

I LOVE This dash cam - I use it in my new car as the drivers in my town are utterly HORRIBLE - wrong way drivers on the road here are common to the point I've seen 3 in less than one year. This thing is worth it's weight in gold. Look at my video I just captured the other day of this poor guy on his bicycle who cuts me off - I assume accidentally from dehydration and just being tired. You cannot beat having video documentation of your side of the story in very unfortunate situations such as this. That day, no one was hurt - but he definitely came within inches of his life for sure - all caught on the VanTrue N2X cam (filmed with the optional extra vantrue light filter). I love how this mounts easily, turns on AUTOMATICALLY and you do nothing - this dash cam has your back.

I waited to write a review . I purchased this dashcam last year and it was the best investment . It is truly plug and play. The video quality and playback is excellent and great quality , even in the dark. I do suggest to go ahead and order the Vantrue brand SD card. Any other brand will not work with the camera, I tried . Overall a great product and worth every penny.

So far so good. The only problem I am having is the power cable is a touch too short to route to my lighter and the voice commands don't seem to always work. You have to almost yell to get them to work.

I’ve owned several dashcams over the years, and Vantrue is the only brand I keep coming back to. This N2X is my third Vantrue dashcam, and none of my previous ones ever failed. I only upgraded because I wanted newer features, not because anything broke. I previously used the N2 Pro, which was already great, but the N2X is a clear upgrade. One of my favorite design changes is the mount. The adhesive stays on the windshield, but the camera itself easily detaches. That makes it simple to remove the camera if you want to take it inside, without dealing with suction cups or peeling anything off the glass. Video quality is excellent, both day and night. Footage is sharp, clear, and exactly what you want from a dashcam when it actually matters. I noticed some mixed reviews about the app, but I haven’t had any issues using it. Setup was straightforward and it does what I need it to do. At this point, Vantrue is my go to brand. If I’m buying a dashcam, I look at what Vantrue offers first, and the N2X just reinforces why. Highly recommended.

I purchased the Vantrue N2X Dash Camera specifically for its advertised cellular live streaming and app communication features when paired with the Vantrue Cellular Module. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. First, there are no real instructions—none—for setting up the N2X with a cellular provider. The documentation completely fails to explain how to properly configure the Cellular Module, troubleshoot authentication issues, or understand network requirements. You’re left guessing, experimenting, or relying on support. The camera initially worked during a long road trip from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, CA using a T-Mobile SIM, which was the entire reason we bought it. My son was able to watch our drive across the country in real time through the app. However, once we arrived in Los Angeles, the system completely stopped working. The N2X + Cellular Module became permanently stuck at “authentication with Vantrue servers” and would not connect to the cellular network at all. We tried everything: Factory resets Re-pairing the camera and module Reinstalling the app Testing signal strength Even purchasing a brand-new T-Mobile SIM card Nothing worked. The camera still cannot authenticate with Vantrue’s servers, cannot establish a cellular connection, and cannot join the Vantrue account. In other words, the core feature that justified the purchase is unusable. Vantrue admitted fault, but their response was to offer a measly $20 compensation for a product that does not function as advertised. For a premium dash camera with a paid cellular module and data plan, this is frankly insulting. As of today, the problem remains unresolved. This camera’s cellular features are unreliable, poorly documented, and dependent on Vantrue’s backend servers, which clearly cannot be trusted. Combined with weak technical support and dismissive compensation, this makes the N2X a bad purchase. Do not buy this camera if you are expecting the live streaming or cellular features to work consistently. In its current state, it is not fit for purpose and should not be sold as a cellular-enabled product.

Great picture quality and wide coverage: This dual dash cam does an outstanding job capturing video both inside and outside my car in crisp 2.7K resolution, ensuring every detail is clear. The infrared night vision works wonderfully for low-light conditions, which is essential for night driving or rideshare use. Installation was straightforward with the included suction cup mount, and the 5G WiFi makes it easy to transfer footage to my phone through the app. It also has useful features like loop recording, parking mode, and Gdsensor detection for added security when the car is parked. Overall, this dash cam offers excellent value and peace of mind on the road with its reliability and feature2drich design.

I have used this camera for about six months. I like the ability to set up the camera using my phone. It's much easier than using the menu buttons on my older Vantrue camera. Video is good but there's a lot of static in the audio and voices in the back seat are almost inaudible.

Quedo perfecto para mi N4

Me encanto

I recently bought the Vantrue N2X as my dash cam, and after using it for a while, I can say I’m genuinely happy with the purchase. I did a lot of research before buying, and this model seemed to offer a good balance between video quality, features, and ease of use. The video clarity is excellent, especially the front camera with the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor. During the daytime, license plates and road signs are very clear, and even at night the HDR performance handles headlights and low-light conditions surprisingly well. One thing I specifically noticed is that number plates can actually be read clearly in most situations, which is extremely important in case of an accident or hit-and-run. That is something many dash cams struggle with, especially at night or while vehicles are moving, but this one performs much better than expected. The inside cabin camera is also very useful and the IR night vision works great in complete darkness. I tested it during late-night driving and was impressed with how clearly it captured the interior without being overly bright or blurry. Installation was much easier than expected for a first-time user. The magnetic mount design is convenient, and the camera feels solid and premium once installed. The 5.8G WiFi connection is fast and stable, making it easy to preview and download footage directly to the phone app without removing the SD card every time. I also like the built-in GPS feature because it records speed and location data accurately, which could be really useful in case of an accident or insurance claim. Voice control is another feature I didn’t think I would use much, but it actually works well while driving and helps avoid distractions. One thing that stood out to me is the parking mode and buffered recording feature. Knowing that the camera can record incidents even while parked gives extra peace of mind. The menu system is straightforward, and overall the dash cam feels reliable and well-designed. For someone using a dash cam for the first time, this has been a very good experience so far. It feels like a high-quality product with premium features, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a front and inside dual dash cam setup.

Had this for about a month now. My 5th dash cam (2nd Vantrue) and I have to say this one is pretty awesome! Well made, solid dash cam. If we need a new dash cam, we don't even bother researching other brands anymore. We have 5 cars and every car has a Vantrue. I've found that Vantrue performance is consistent and reliable. Every incident so far has been recorded and is clear as day. It's hard to understand until you've experienced a close call only to find out for some unknown reason your dash cam didn't record for some unknown reason. I love the cabin camera view. Definitely a good option to have for interactions with police or if you drive uber. Or if you have a convertible like me and don't have the option for a rear mounted camera. New mount is great. I park at long term parking every so often and it's always a hassle trying to get these off my windshield. To remove this one, you just slide the dash cam up and it comes off. Previous ones you had to remove by pressing a small clip which was hard with my sausage fingers. Operating system is smooth and quick. Setting it up or making changes is quick and easy. Will keep this one until Vantrue comes out with something new and exciting!

Seems to use a lot of power and gets quite hot. Not sure why I need to take it down from sunlight, etc. when it's supposed to monitor for impact while I'm not in it (this would require it to be powered and in position to take a picture or video of the incident, no??). Was a replacement of my old Vantrue which just stopped showing the front view on the screen. Very small rebate received. Will definitely be looking for another company's camera because they are so much less expensive, offer equal or better quality and are more easily interactive with their apps.
