- More than I can review. ;)
Thank you @JIVAN for sending Vantrue N2 for review.
This camera is based upon NT96655 processor and NT99141 sensor for the front and AR0330 for the rear camera.
It is 1920x1080p for the front in single channel mode and 1440px1080p in dual channel recording.
Rear is 1280x720p in either mode.
For more details, visit product link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B01IHLKZ0I***************************************************
Summary:
Vantrue N2 is mostly black for discrete install.
It has very good daytime videos and night videos are decent as well on the front channel.
Rear camera is 720p and pretty decent in daytime but very dark at night so need to use some interior light to record what happens inside.
Audio is clear without distortion.
Mount has charging port so it can be taken out of the vehicle without messing with cable.
Car charger has additional USB port so it allows another gadget to plug in.
Dual mode has little less VBR than usual front only Novatek based cameras.
Front only mode has 13.1 mbps VBR so that's pretty good.
One good feature is, file lock is triggered by just one press, even when the screen is off.
Rear camera is on the right so can only be mounted on the right of RV mirror.
Overall, great option to record both the front and have backup of inside the vehicle if needed.

Package contents:
1. Vantrue N2 Dual Camera Dashcam.
2. Suction Mount - moves back and forth as well as pans left to right to some degree.
It has usb port to charge so the camera can be taken without messing with power cable.
[The mount is similar to G90 but has better snapping lock that I can hear it when it's locking.]
3. Car USB charger dongle with additional USB port. Nice!
4. USB to mini USB cable.
5. Thank you card with quick start guide.
6. Warranty card.
7. User Manual with detail information and color menu settings pictures.
***************************************************
Product Images:
MicroSD slot and mini HDMI have a cover and it looks very neat once covered.
Buttons are on the bottom and are labeled on the back by the LCD.
Rear facing camera: It rotates for angle adjustment to the inside of the vehicle.
One thing to note is the rear facing camera is on the right side so it has to be mounted to the right of RV mirror and it doesn't record the driver entirely if that's the intended purpose unless rotated so the front camera faces little bit to the right or move the driver seat little bit behind.
From right of RV side, it's wide enough to get the driver in FOV but not the entire hand/steering wheel.
If it's mounted on the left of RV, RV mirror will block it unless mounted much lower that blocks drivers' view.
However, for uber/lyft/taxi type application, it should work fine on the right of RV mirror as the use there is to record passengers plus most of driver should be in FOV.
Emergency/parking and OK buttons are on the left of LCD.
***************************************************
Side by side with NanoQ: It looks big in front of NanoQ but is actually similar to a G1W with smaller/rounder body.

Vehicle installation:
From inside:
From outside: Pretty discrete. Vantrue N2, Viofo A119C, Hyundai H100 RV.
