Vantrue's N4 Pro records three views at once: the road ahead in 4K, the cabin in 1080P and the rear in 1080P, all at 30 fps. The front camera uses Sony's STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor with HDR, and Vantrue says its PlatePix processing makes plates 1.5 times sharper. The cabin camera has four infrared LEDs that switch on in low light, so passengers stay visible at night, which matters for rideshare disputes. Parking coverage comes in four modes: buffered motion detection with zones you draw yourself, collision detection, low bitrate recording at 720P and a 1 fps time lapse. Like Viofo, Vantrue requires a hardwire kit for parking, sold separately. A supercapacitor replaces the battery, and a magnetic mount lets you take the camera with you. It ties with the Viofo on price but ranks second because its rear and cabin footage is 1080P. We compared documented features and published prices.

Who it is for
