Vantrue N4 Pro Testing/Review - RCG

[Dex_]

Totally agree. N4Pro surprisingly good cam for me, except rear cam without starvis2 sensor and good sensor holder without temperature focus issues.
Still use it and hope that Vantrue make a note about my request about small fixes in firmware. (like arrange stamp text more adequate). But long time no changes in FW

Today, I gathered some footage from the N4 Pro 3ch and a VIOFO A229 Pro 3ch. The dash cameras were in normal recording mode the entire time since I did not park (did not turn off the car's engine) during the entire trip. The outside temp was around 85F/30C and the AC was on during the entire drive with the auto temp setting set to 73F/23C.

When I arrived home, I used a TOPDON TC004 thermal camera to gather thermal pics of the N4 Pro.

When I was testing the Vantrue N5 dash camera, I found the end of the front camera with the cover/button which covers the memory card gets very hot. I found that to be true with the N4 Pro as well. With the cover installed, the temp of the center button at the edge of the button is 152.1F/66.7C. When you remove the cover to expose the side of the N4 Pro where the memory card resides, the temp rises to 194.8F/90.4C. Toasty...

I have a video with daytime HDR On / HDR Off video samples from the VANTrue N4 Pro 3-channel and a VIOFO A229 Pro 3-channel dash cameras. I hope to capture some nighttime footage soon. It gets dark at 9:30 PM which results in very little cars on the road in my local area. Not the best for nighttime driving and plate capture tests.
