Vantrue N4 features a 155° front camera, a 165° inside camera, and a 160° rear camera, which provides a total 360 degree view around your car, Monitoring the front, rear, and interior of your vehicle can all be done at the same time with audio at 1440P + 1080P + 1080P respectively.

The dual recording mode provides not only a 4K resolution front camera but also a 1080P rear camera, which records incidents from behind your Vehicle. 

When used alone, the front camera can seamlessly record up to 4K, enabling accurate capturing of license plates and road signs.

The rear cam is easily 360° adjustable for the perfect view. It’s a great way to protect yourself against liability issues or accidents.

Furthermore, you can set it up for front and interior recording modes in order to record road ahead and the interior of your Hyundai Venue in high resolutions of 4K and 1080P,

The adjustable inside camera offers greater flexibility and improved visibility, especially useful for rideshare drivers looking for proof of what passengers were doing in the vehicle.

The high-performance Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor, a large F1.4 aperture 6-glass lens observing the road front, and a F1.8 6-glass lens observing the rear of the vehicle can automatically increase exposure for clear video recordings in dark situations;

The dash cam is equipped with Four IR LED lights facing the cabin of the vehicle, allowing it to capture accurate images of the driver and passengers even in complete darkness, perfect for rideshare drivers such as Uber, Lyft and Taxi.

The Time lapse feature allows the dash cam to operate for a longer period of time while reducing video file size, thus, a time-lapse video of a multi-week road trip can capture frames without taking up much memory card space

Motion detection parking mode saves energy thus allowing the dash cam to go into standby mode and wake up and record when movement is detected by the front or inside camera 

With collision detection, if an impact is detected while the dash cam is off, the camera will automatically turn on so that the impact can be recorded. For this 3 channel dash cam should be connected to parking mode with a hardwire kit(buy extra ASIN B083XB8T7T) or external battery.

The Vantrue N4 is powered by super capacitors which are built to withstand extreme temperatures from 14°F to 158°F, ideal for hot weather areas like Arizona, Florida, Texas, or extremely cold areas.

With the flexible sensitivity G-sensor, it detects sudden shaking or collisions automatically, and it locks the footage to the event folder after the impact.
