Does Vantrue N4 PRO S supports buffer recording during parking mode?

[snowleopard]

Hi folks,

I thinking of getting Vantrue N4 PRO S, however, I'm not sure whether does it support buffer recording after watching several review and try reading the user manual.

During parking mode, in the event of an impact/collision, it will save 10secs before the impact and maybe 30secs after the impact. My current model Thinkware F800 PRO does support it.

Can some fellow users help to confirm?

Thanks

I test how each parking mode behaves and how much power it consumes. I document my findings in a spreadsheet that I post in my review thread.

Parking mode time estimates:

In the "Notes" column of my spreadsheet I note whether the parking mode creates unbuffered or buffered impact/motion parking mode videos. The "Collision Detection" parking mode creates unbuffered recordings. With the collision detection option set for "Quick Start", it takes 6 seconds for the dash camera to start its unbuffered recordings after the impact event. With the collision detection option set for "Power Saving" mode, it takes just over 13 seconds to start recording its unbuffered recordings. Motion detection parking mode creates buffered parking mode recordings.

Here's the power consumption screenshot from my review thread:

Thanks for your interest in the Vantrue N4 Pro S!
The N4 Pro S does support buffer recording when using motion detection parking mode.
