I have been using the 522GW now and it’s predecessor the 512GW since 2016 ish. The 312 before that. It’s been issue free for me apart from some minor problems, generally with me failing to reading the instructions correctly.
I have now been offered the opportunity to try a Vantrue ‘N4 pro’ model. FOC I have to admit. This will not be a scientific, number crunching comparison, I’m sure most of you like me, couldn’t care less what power draw we use the second it’s switched on et etc. but a straight forward tell what I see review. Looking at, Ease of use, Value for money, Reliability, Playback etc.
At first I thought there really was no comparison between the two, until I checked prices, looking on Amazon (as an example) today, I see I was wrong.
Today (06/08/23) a 522 GW bundle will cost you £245.95 and incl an sd card. The N4pro will set you back £270.00 (OTA) Without an sd card. Both have options of hard wire kits at around £20.
As users of the 522GW you’re aware of what’s in the box, it’s abilities, it’s short coming. So I will not be going there. But offer a very general comparison.
The N4pro does have 3 active cameras, a front facing and cab camera combination plus the rear mounted camera,, it also uses Super Capacitors as it’s power sauce, something Nextbase users have been asking for for some time.
So until the unit arrives, watch out for Part 2.
