Vantrue N5S
The Vantrue N5S is a good 4-channel dash cam, one of the few available today. The front and rear exterior facing cameras use 2K Starvis 2 sensors providing good video quality. Front and rear interior cameras are 1080p which is adequate for that recording. Its biggest strength is comprehensive coverage, including two interior-facing cameras ideal for rideshare drivers.
However, the 2K night video quality is not the greatest, especially when trying to read license plates. Price tag is reasonable given it comes with 4 cameras, buffered parking mode and voice control. Overall a good option for someone looking at 4-channel dash cams.
