This Vantrue Element 2 (E2) Dual is the perfect dashcam if you don't want to miss anything that happens around your car. It films at 2K (QuadHD) on the front and back, and its extended parking mode makes this Vantrue E2 the ideal security system while parking. In addition, the Vantrue E2 has Wifi and GPS on board and comes with handy Bluetooth SOS button.
This Vantrue E2 records on the front and back in very sharp 2K QuadHD 2592*1944p recording in 25fps. You can also set the resolution lower at 2560*1440p. With WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), the contrast of the recordings is very good and the surroundings are recognisable even in the dark.
The rear camera is connected to the front dashcam with a long 6-metre cable. The videos from both cameras are stored separately on the SD card. On the LCD screen, the image can be switched between the front and rear camera or both at the same time.
The Vantrue E2 comes standard with a handy Bluetooth SOS button. You place this button anywhere in the car and with one push of the button you can take a photo and secure video or turn the dashcam's microphone on and off.
The Vantrue E2 is equipped with a large and bright 2.45-inch LCD screen on which the recordings are visible and you can easily operate the menu. The screen has a screensaver that activates after 1 minute so it doesn't bother you while driving. You can also turn the screen on and off with the voice command ‘Turn on screen’ and ‘Turn off screen’.
Within range of the dashcam (+/- 5 metres), you can easily view the recorded videos on your smartphone via the Vantrue App for iOS or Android. The videos can be viewed live and you can download saved videos to your phone so you can share them instantly. Thanks to the 5.0gHz Wifi, file transfer is faster than with many other dashcams. The menu is also easy to operate via the app to change settings very quickly.
The Vantrue E2 is equipped with GPS so that current speed and coordinates are tracked. The speed can be displayed at the bottom of each video if desired, and the film location and route can be viewed later via the App.
The Vantrue E2 allows you to control the dashcam via (English-language) voice commands. Commands like ‘Make picture’, ‘Turn off screen’, ‘Turn on audio’ and ‘Lock the video’ allow you to use the dashcam safely while driving and not miss a single incident.
Vantrue offers the ability to secure your car while parking. Connect your Vantrue dashcam with the OBD or 3-wire hardwire kit to power the dashcam even when the car is switched off. The power supply transmits a signal to the dashcam as soon as you turn off the car so that parking mode is automatically enabled.
Parking mode works only in combination with the OBD or 3-wire hardwire kit. In this power supply there is a safety device that cuts the power at a certain voltage so you don't end up with a dead battery.
Vantrue has four recording modes during parking:
Motion detection: Motion detection (with adjustable sensitivity) where the dashcam is on standby until a visual movement is detected in the image. After this, it records 5 seconds before and 30 seconds after the incident.
Collision detection: Vibration detection (with adjustable sensitivity) where the dashcam switches off until a vibration is detected. It then turns on, records for 1 minute and turns off.
Low bitrate recording: Continuous recording in lower quality (720p or 1080p in 15fps) to save space on the SD card. As soon as a vibration is detected, normal 1-minute recording is started.
Time lapse recording: Continuous recording in 1fps, 5fps, 10fps or 15fps to save space on the SD card. At 1fps, a 30-minute period is played back in 1 minute. As soon as a vibration is detected, a normal 1-minute recording is started.
The Vantrue E2 has a wide viewing angle of 160 degrees at the front and back so that a very large area around the car is captured.
The Vantrue E2 attaches to the windscreen with a handy self-adhesive GPS holder with magnetic connection. The dashcam can be clicked in and out of this holder in one move. To use your Vantrue E2 in multiple cars, an additional GPS holder is available (see accessories).
Attach the optional CPL (Polaroid) filter to your Vantrue dashcam to counteract annoying reflections from the dashboard or interior. The filter fits onto the dashcam in no time and is easily adjusted by turning it.
The Vantrue E2 has a built-in G-sensor. This sensor records vibrations in case of a collision. The current video is stored securely in that case.
The Vantrue E2 is equipped with loop recording, which automatically overwrites the oldest images with new ones. Videos are stored in shorter fragments of 5 minutes and once the SD card is full, the oldest fragment is deleted.
Secure recordings (manually selected or detected by the G-sensor) are stored in a separate folder and are not deleted by loop recording. This way, you always have access to the latest and most important videos.
Vantrue is one of the few dashcam brands with support for SD cards up to 512gb. With 512gb, you can store up to 108 hours (over 4 days) of FullHD videos. With higher resolution, the total recording time will be a bit shorter.

 ChannelsThe number of cameras or “channels” the dashcam uses to film. A 1-channel 1CH dashcam films only the front and a 2CH also has a rear camera. A 3CH has an additional interior camera and a 4CH dashcam often consists of four separate cameras.

 ResolutionVideo resolution indicates how many pixels the videos consist of. Therefore, the higher the resolution, the larger the videos are and the more details can be seen. For example, 4K refers to the number of horizontal pixels (3840) of the video.

FullHD and 2K
|
 Night visionThe quality of video at night or in low light conditions is mainly determined by the image sensor used in the dashcam. Some dashcams also have infrared LEDs, but these are mainly effective at short distances for interior cameras, for example.
|
|
 Viewing angleDashcams always have a round “fish eye” lens with a wide viewing angle so that a larger area around the camera is recorded. So a wider viewing angle means you capture more but also results in some distortion at the sides.
|
|
 Image sensorThe image sensor used determines the resolution of the videos and is the biggest determinant of dashcam image quality.
|
|
 ProcessorThe chip or processor is basically the computer or brain of the dashcam. It converts the images into digital video files (usually MP4 or AVI). Along with the image sensor, it is a major determinant of the quality of the final videos.

|
 Parking modeA dashcam with parking mode secures your car when it is parked. To use parking mode, the dashcam must be connected with a permanent power cable at the car's fuse box or to a Powerbank (see accessories).
|
|
 Parking mode typesIn parking mode, a dashcam films in a way that consumes less data and power such as in Time lapse (1 picture per second), motion detection or vibration detection. The dashcam automatically switches to this mode when you turn off the car's ignition.
