- 0:00 | what’s happening everyone my name is Alex and
welcome back well driving these days is not as - 0:06 | relaxing and safe as it used to be a few years
back these days there are so many cars on the - 0:11 | road so many bad drivers that almost every
single time you go out driving something is - 0:16 | about to happen somewhere so these days having
a dash camera installed in your vehicle is an - 0:21 | absolute must because if something does happen
and chances are something will happen at least - 0:27 | you’re going to have the footage from the dash
cam so you can actually prove to the police to - 0:32 | the insurance company that you weren’t at fault so
these days having a dash camera installed in your - 0:38 | vehicle is an absolute must so the dash camera
that we are checking out today it’s called the - 0:43 | Vantrue N4 Pro this is a three Channel dash camera
that means that you have one camera that records - 0:49 | in front of the vehicle you have another camera
that records inside the vehicle and then you have - 0:54 | the third camera that records behind the vehicle
so for example if you’d be to do Uber or lift so - 1:01 | you’re driving people around with a camera like
this you’re actually having a camera that records - 1:06 | inside the car as well this dash camera also
records in 4k so that means that you’re going - 1:11 | to be able to get really crisp footage you’re
going to be able to see all the signs on the - 1:16 | road you’re going to be able to see the license
plates on those cars on the road and so on so very - 1:21 | important having 4K recordings from your dash
camera and with that being said let me quickly - 1:26 | show you what comes in the box with this and then
we’ll go through a quick installation process and - 1:31 | eventually I’ll show you some sample footage and
so on all right and we are back in the studio so - 1:36 | the dash camera comes in this box right here and
inside the Box you’re going to find everything you - 1:40 | need so you can install the dash camera in your
vehicle first things first you’re going to get - 1:45 | the main unit so this is the main unit this is the
one that you installed on the front windshield and - 1:49 | this is the part that basically films in front of
your vehicle but on the main unit we also have the - 1:55 | camera that films inside the vehicle now something
very important this um second unit basically the - 2:02 | camera that films inside the vehicle also has some
infrared LEDs so even if you’re driving a night in - 2:08 | complete darkness the inside camera can still see
very clear inside the vehicle but you’re not going - 2:14 | to actually be able to see those infrared LEDs
with your own eyes just in case you’re wondering - 2:19 | and of course you’re also going to get the rear
camera that gets installed on the rear window in - 2:24 | your vehicle however I already have that installed
in the car so I don’t have it in theore Studio - 2:30 | here so the N4 Pro here is using the Sony star
V2 sensor and that means really clear recordings - 2:36 | during the day and of course at night and for
nighttime recordings is very important because - 2:40 | a lot of dash cameras don’t do that great at night
but later on in the video I’m going to be showing - 2:45 | you some sample recordings done during the day
and at night so you can see how well this camera - 2:50 | actually does okay so our main unit so the camera
that records in front of the vehicle records in - 2:56 | 4k so that is the recording resolution then the
inside camera so the one that films inside the - 3:02 | vehicle records in 1080P and the rear camera also
records in 1080P and all three cameras record at - 3:09 | the same time on the SD card the SD card is on the
side of the dash camera right here you can easily - 3:16 | take that out if you want to save the footage from
it or you can actually connect to the dash camera - 3:21 | with your smartphone and you can download all that
footage right on your smartphone it really depends - 3:26 | how you want to do it which one is the easiest way
for you and we’ll talk more about the app in just - 3:32 | a bit and going back to our box and basically what
comes in the Box you’re basically going to find - 3:37 | all the cables you need all the stickers you need
so you can actually Mount all the cameras on the - 3:43 | windows so the main unit this one goes um on the
front windshield very easy to use you basically - 3:50 | put that sticker on the windshield and then you
attach the other sticker um with the dash camera - 3:55 | on that sticker so very easy to use and the same
kind of goes for the rear camera the longest part - 4:02 | of the installation process is basically hiding
those cables throughout your car and it will take - 4:08 | you longer or um shorter depending on the vehicle
that you have and how well you want to hide those - 4:14 | cables in my car it is fairly easy to hide those
cables I just put them on that um behind that - 4:20 | Rubber seal that comes around the door so it only
took me about 10 minutes to install the front and - 4:27 | the rear camera so the installation process is
extremely easy taking a quick look at the camera - 4:31 | itself while the camera is built really really
well it’s mostly made out of plastic like most - 4:36 | dash cameras available on the market on the back
here we have a screen so you can see everything - 4:42 | about the camera you can see the front camera you
can see the inside camera the rear camera on that - 4:47 | screen there and you can also select different
views for different cameras depending what you - 4:52 | want U to see you can also change all the settings
for the dash camera from the buttons that we have - 4:59 | at the bottom here so if you don’t want to connect
this dash camera to your smartphone you don’t - 5:03 | necessarily have to I just find it more convenient
to download files on the go if you do use the - 5:09 | van through app and connect to the dash camera
that way this dash camera also has an internal - 5:15 | microphone so first of all it will record all the
sound inside the vehicle and to my surprise the - 5:20 | internal microphone in it is actually quite good
so I was able to hear my voice in all the sample - 5:26 | recordings that I’ve done for you we’ll watch
those in just a bit but definitely way better than - 5:31 | I was expecting because with most dash cameras
that internal microphone is not that great well - 5:37 | that’s definitely not the case with this one the
internal microphone does capture the sound really - 5:41 | really well and the camera also accepts voice
commands there are a bunch of voice commands - 5:47 | that you can say and this is a quick example just
so you can see how those voice commands work video - 5:53 | Start turn off Wi-Fi
- 6:03 | turn on
- 6:04 | wi-fi turn off screen turn on screen all right
and just before we move on and check out some - 6:15 | sample daytime and nighttime recordings there
are a couple of things I want to mention about - 6:20 | this dash camera so first of all this is
using the Sony starvis 2 sensor that means - 6:24 | detailed and clear recordings during the day
and at night very important for those night - 6:29 | recordings because with a lot of dash cameras as
soon as you recording at night you can’t really - 6:33 | see much in those recordings you’re going to
notice in the footage that I’m about to show - 6:38 | you that even on streets where there are no lights
whatsoever you can clearly see everything that the - 6:44 | camera is seeing so very impressive for nighttime
recordings and you’ll see that in the footage this - 6:51 | dash camera also has a GPS module inside and you
can actually see your speed in those recordings - 6:57 | you can see the location in those recordings you
can also turn that off from the settings if you - 7:02 | don’t want to have that shown in any recordings
you can definitely turn it off but it’s great for - 7:08 | insurance purposes if you do get in a an accident
so you can show the police the speed that you’re - 7:13 | actually doing and all that and you can even track
track the routes wherever you went through the app - 7:20 | after recording is done so all that of course is
going to be very helpful in case something happens - 7:26 | and you need to prove that you aren’t actually
doing anything wrong WR and another important - 7:30 | feature for this camera is called plate picks
and that basically enhances the license plates in - 7:36 | those recordings done by the camera and you will
notice in those sample recordings that the license - 7:41 | plates on the cars around you are nice and crisp
so you can easily see them in those recordings and - 7:49 | with that being said let’s move on and check
out some sample daytime recordings and then - 7:53 | some nighttime sample recordings all right and we
are moving on to a quick recording in town of of - 7:59 | course here we have more buildings we have more
signs we have more cars everywhere the light is - 8:06 | a bit different in town here as well because you
have all these buildings you have um some shade - 8:12 | you have some sunshine depending on the situation
so the front camera records in 4k the rear camera - 8:19 | of course records in 1080P and the inside camera
also records in 1080P having that 4K for the front - 8:27 | camera is definitely very useful for example
if you look at the license plate on that um red - 8:33 | vehicle on my left there you can clearly see the
license plate because of that higher um resolution - 8:41 | now depending how the light is how the rear window
on your vehicle is you’re also going to be able to - 8:47 | see the license plates on the vehicles that are
behind you but again that really depends how the - 8:53 | camera is positioned how the sunshine is where
the cars behind you are and um so on so once - 9:01 | again I’m going to switch to that front camera
we’re going to get closer to this vehicle here - 9:06 | just so you can see the license plate um on the
vehicles around us basically but since we have - 9:12 | that 4K resolution um on the main camera you will
not have any issues whatsoever seeing the license - 9:20 | plates um all right so next we are moving on to
a quick recording on the highway well this is a - 9:27 | bit of a highway it’s not um one of those um North
American highways that um everyone is used to but - 9:34 | um just so you get an idea how the camera does if
you are driving on the highway once again the main - 9:40 | camera records in 4k the rear camera records in
1080P and the inside camera does um 1080p as well - 9:50 | the unit also has GPS as I’ve mentioned earlier so
of course you’re going to be able to see the speed - 9:55 | in all these recordings as well there is also
an internal microphone in um this dash camera - 10:03 | so the conversations that happen um inside the
vehicle of course are going to be recorded but - 10:08 | you can also mute those so if you don’t record the
sound for anything you can easily mute that um as - 10:15 | well now I’m switching in between cameras um while
I’m editing of course I cannot switch in between - 10:21 | cameras um when I’m driving because all three
cameras are um recording at all times basically - 10:27 | so you don’t really have to do anything you
just power on the vehicle and the cameras record - 10:32 | constantly all right and we are moving on to some
nighttime recordings now with most dash cameras - 10:38 | when you drive at night when you drive on roads
that uh don’t have that much light well many dash - 10:44 | cameras do struggle in those kind of environments
well that is definitely not the case with the van - 10:50 | through N4 Pro so these dash camera is actually
using the Sony starvis 2 sensor therefore it can - 10:57 | capture a lot of light even when there isn’t
that much light um around you the same goes - 11:03 | for the inside camera so the inside camera the
camera that records inside the vehicle has some - 11:09 | infrared LEDs so even if it’s complete darkness
inside the vehicle you can definitely see inside - 11:16 | the vehicle because of those infrared LEDs all
right and we’re moving on to our next recording - 11:23 | at night for this recording I am in town so of
course now we have a lot more lights um around - 11:29 | me so you can see how the cameras also do if you
are driving in a more urban environment let’s - 11:36 | call it I’m going to have a quick uh recording
showing that inside camera just so you can see - 11:42 | how the inside camera does in this kind of uh
conditions so basically when uh you have some - 11:49 | lights around the vehicle and of course I’m also
going to switch to that U front camera once again - 11:56 | just so you can see how that uh that one does um
in these conditions with the front camera as I - 12:02 | mentioned many times before we’re recording in
4k 30 frames per second and as you’ve seen for - 12:07 | yourself those daytime and nighttime recordings
do look absolutely fantastic and you can clearly - 12:12 | see the license plates on the vehicles around
you you can clearly see those road signs and - 12:17 | much more in those recordings so you won’t really
need anything else if you have one of these dash - 12:23 | cameras installed in your vehicle and of course
this dash camera will also protect your vehicle - 12:28 | when your vle is parked and you’re basically not
in your car so 24/7 protection so we have four - 12:34 | parking mods available we have a buffered motion
detection mode we have a collision detection mode - 12:40 | so basically your car is sparked someone bumps
into your car the camera will basically record - 12:45 | so you can save the license plate on that card
that may have crashed into your vehicle we also - 12:51 | have a low bit rate recording and low frame rate
recording as well as part of those four parking - 12:57 | modes and you can choose which one is the best
one for your needs so to quickly conclude this - 13:04 | video If you’re looking for a dash camera that can
record outside and inside of your vehicle and also - 13:09 | in a pretty high resolution well look now further
