Vantrue E1 / E1 Lite Review - RCG

[rcg530]

I finally completed my review of the Vantrue Element 1 (E1) and Element 1 Lite (E1 Lite) dash cameras. I worked with Vantrue for several months after receiving the E1 dash camera to resolve the problem of it not going into parking mode after the vehicle was stationary for 5-minutes and the FOV change once in parking mode. Vantrue released the E1 Lite dash camera as entry level 1080p 30fps dash camera.

Thank-you very much for the detailed review.
I originally had the E1 Lite and while the E1 Lite was "ok" with the 1080P video, there were things as you mentioned that I didn't like, such as manually having to turn HDR on/off depending on whether it was day/night.
I also had a problem downloading videos to my phone where it was taking quite a few minutes. I believe you said previously, this was related to the individual item and the other one worked fine.
I exchanged it last month for the Viofo A119 Mini and couldn't be happier. The HDR scheduling in the settings is perfect as well as the 5GHz wifi. I am now able to download the video file in about 30 seconds.
