This Vantrue Nexus 5 (N5) is the flagship model among Vantrue dashcams. This dashcam is equipped with 4 cameras and therefore films everything in and around the car. Two cameras are incorporated in the front dashcam and two are incorporated in the rear camera. The front and rear also film the interior and an area outside the car from both sides. The Vantrue N5 is therefore perfect for use as 360˚ security while parking.
2K (QuadHD) + 3x FullHD with WDR
At the front, this Vantrue N5 records in sharp 2K (1944p) footage at 25fps. Due to the WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), the contrast of the recordings is very good and the surroundings are recognisable even in the dark.
The interior cameras in the front and rear and the rear camera all film in FullHD 1080p. The interior cameras are integrated into the front and rear dashcam, so no extra connection is needed for this. There are also infrared LEDs on the interior camera so that visibility in the dark is of exceptionally good quality.
The rear camera is connected to the front dashcam with a long 6-metre cable. 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.
3.19-inch LCD screen
The Vantrue N5 is equipped with a large and bright 3.19-inch widescreen 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’.
Wireless 5.0gHz Wifi
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.
GPS
The Vantrue N5 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.
Voice control
The Vantrue N5 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.
Automatic buffered parking mode
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.
360-degree view
As the Vantrue N5 is equipped with 4 cameras, everything in and around the car is recorded. The front camera (158˚), two interior cameras (160˚) and rear camera (165˚) combine to ensure you don't miss a thing.
Optional CPL filter
Attach the optional CPL (Polaroid) filter to your Vantrue dashcam to counteract annoying reflections from the dashboard or interior. The filter attaches to the dashcam in no time and is easily adjusted by turning it.
Optional Bluetooth SOS button
The Vantrue N5 can be expanded 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.
G-sensor
The Vantrue N5 has a built-in G-sensor. This sensor records vibrations in case of a collision. The current video is stored securely in that case.
Loop recording
The Vantrue N5 is equipped with loop recording that 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.
512gb support
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.
