Do standard drivers need the VANTRUE N5 4 channel dash cam?

In this video I take the family for a drive with the VANTRUE N5 4 channel dash cam. With great picture quality and a useful app, the dashcam is suitable for larger cars (such as our Citroen C4 Grand Picasso), but 4 channels - that means 4 cameras - it might be considered overkill for families.

Instead, it's ideal for ubers, cabs, minibuses, and other larger people carriers.

I've just got it because the rear camera now allows you to record when someone rams a car door into the vehicle. The front camera then records the license plate number. After two claims with the insurance company without the person who caused it coming forward, I'm now going to do this. So search is also interesting for private people.

Can't be overkill, the more data and clear recordings you have in an accident the better and Amazon has a deal going on this model right now so I ordered for same day delivery. Hopefully it's as awesome as the reviews.

Thank you for sharing the video! I had a quick question regarding the camera's remote. Unfortunately, mine has stopped working. Do you happen to know if the batteries can be replaced? If so, could you please let me know how to go about changing them, or what the best course of action might be?

I noticed the interior recording was in black & white at night. Is that the IR sensors kicking in, or am I missing something? I could change it from black & white to color on my N4, but I don't know if there is a way to switch on the N5.

So how your battery life so far because where is this charger coming from in the cam are your car batteries when you in parked mode

This does seem like a little overkill for my use. I am not a Uber driver etc. Just someone driving to and from work which is a 20 mile commute each way. It’s my daily use car. I was just in an accident about 4 months ago and my car was totaled. It was his word against mine which really sucked. I was side swiped on the driver side back door mainly. Which dash cam do you recommend for me? Just front? I am looking at the brands Ventrue/Viofo/and or Fitcamx. Please let me know the brand and model you suggest for my needs.
Thank you.

Yea, 4 channel is a bit overkill for the average driver but great for Uber/Lyft drivers that need to record any and every encounter with passengers for insurance liabilities.

The average person just needs a front and back camera, maybe cabin too in case of police encounter and claims (no seat belt/distracted).

I want a camera that records the front, back, and sides, inside and out. What should I get?

Hi mate great review. Can the camera be hard wired to the fuse box so you not have to use the cig lighter?

[Big-H]

I'm just curious does it make a significant difference with insurance between a 2 channel vs a 4 channel? I don't work for Uber and Lyft but I'm that one friend in the friend group who owns a big car to transport everyone to places.
Just curious when it comes to insurance coverage.

I have a Silverado standard cab. No back seats. Is this too much camera for me? What cam would you recommend for me?
Thank you !

How is the readability of the license plates on the recorded video?
In your youtube video, the readability is not so great.

I am a beginner. Can I get Driving Assistance ? Side View ?

You missed one use case: great for countries with corrupt / false police shakedowns.

Is there a good camera that’s 4 channels 4k or better with lte cloud capable I was looking at the Vantrue n5 but not 4 k or lte I looked at the Vantrue n4 pro but no lte I looked at the Vantrue s1 pro but not 4 channel or 4 k but it has lte my wife and I are Uber and Lyft drivers it’s disappointing that there is not a manufacturer that can make this happen I also looked at the next base IQ there’s a lot of bad reviews and Blackvue there’s no 4 k with 3-4 channel without buying 2 DR970X-2CH Plus IR camera and viofo dash cam dose not have lte cloud I just wish these manufacturers would make one camera that can do it all
