My Adventure with the World’s First Dashcam: Vantrue N2 Pro

For the past couple of months, I’ve embarked on an interesting journey. I decided to put to the test the world’s first dual 1080P dashcam – the Vantrue N2 Pro. Beholding this breakthrough technology firsthand, I found myself both in awe and intrigued by not just the idea of having a versatile gadget, but by the potential convenience and security it could bring. This is an unbiased, carefully thought out review of my extensive use of the Vantrue N2 Pro.

Introduction: Discovering the Vantrue N2 Pro

The moment of unboxing a brand new tech gadget always carries an undeniable thrill, no less so with the Vantrue N2 Pro. I was immediately greeted with a user manual and quick start guide, essential to swiftly get any first-timer acquainted. Nestled securely within the packaging, was the star of the show, the Vantrue N2 Pro itself, seemingly a compact piece yet packed full of potential which I was eager to explore.

1 Unboxing: What Comes in the Package?

Along with the dashcam, the package included a mini USB cable, a suction mount accompanied by a 10-foot cable with a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter. As I brought out each piece, thoughts raced through my mind on how this dashcam would shape my driving experience, setting this exciting exploration in motion.

Camera Features: Two Lenses, One Dashcam

Once I had the camera out, I observed its unique features. True to its promotional description, the camera indeed sported dual lenses – one facing the front and the other at the back.

The real test of any state-of-the-art product lies beyond just its glossy appearance, in its abilities and performance. Stay put as I share the highs and lows, the assurances and apprehensions, the inner workings and hiccups in my time using the Vantrue N2 Pro over these past few months. I aim to offer a comprehensive take on this novel gadget, going beyond just what it boasts off-the-shelf.

Note: This review is solely based on my personal experience and is free from any bias. Products performance might vary in different circumstances and I’ll aim to evaluate it from different angles throughout this journey.

The Final Verdict: Assessing the Vantrue N2 Pro

In wrapping up my experience with the Vantrue N2 Pro, I have to say it’s been quite an interesting ride. This isn’t just a regular dashcam; it’s a security aid, a data storage facilitator and a potential dispute solver all rolled into one.

Upsides

• Double the lenses, double the security: The dual-lens functionality is a huge win. It allows for 360-degree coverage and, for drivers in all types of situations, that can never be a bad thing.
• Quality Recording: The 1080P dual recording is commendable, and the fact that you can switch the rear camera off for a 1440P front-concentrated resolution shows it’s a flexible and considerate design.
• Installation and Navigation: Installation is also a breeze, and even with no technical prowess, you’d get by just fine. Furthermore, the navigation on the menu is simple, making the camera experience easy to get used to.
• Affordability: The price, considering its multi-functionality, is fair and provides good value for money.

Downsides

However, the product isn’t without a few shortcomings. Remember, no product is ever 100% perfect, and there’s always room for improvement. In my experience, here is where the N2 Pro falls short:

• The rubber flap: It’s quite rigid – a minor flaw but still worth mentioning. It could become a potential deterrent for users, especially those who frequently need to access the SD card or the USB port.
• Color Accuracy: Although this does not hinder the functionality of the cam, it’d be great if the color representation could be more accurate. As it stands, the output tends to be slightly magenta-leaning.
• Individual Camera Exposure: The feature to individually adjust the exposure for each camera would have been a fantastic addition. It would offer more flexibility and control over the recording conditions.

Overall

All in all, the Vantrue N2 Pro dashcam has a lot on offer. It excelled where it mattered most – functionality and flexibility. In my experience, it held up well, and the minor issues didn’t severely hamper the user experience.

If you are a daily driver, a ride-share operator, or someone who just likes to have an extra set of eyes on the road, you might find value in the Vantrue N2 Pro. This dashcam, with its few imperfections, is worth a look.

Should you buy the Vantrue N2 Pro Uber Dual Dash Cam?

Buy it if…

You need dual perspectives

The Vantrue N2 Pro dashcam offers both front and cabin-facing recordings, providing comprehensive coverage of your driving experience.

Value for money is important to you

You require added security in parking mode

With its impressive parking mode, this dashcam can record any motion around your parked vehicle, potentially capturing mishappenings like hit-and-runs.

Don’t buy it if…

You require easy SD Card and Mini USB access

The rubber flap covering the SD Card and Mini USB ports can be hard to open if you regularly need to access them.

You seek perfect color representation

Recordings from this dashcam lean towards the magenta hue, which might be off-putting if color accuracy is important to you.

You need separate exposure control for each camera

While you can adjust the exposure, there is no way to control exposure for each individual camera, which could lead to overexposed or underexposed shots.
