Vantrue S1 Pro Max 4K - outside 4k camera, ADAS, Parking Modes

[mikek753dct]

The key for this package is the outside 4K camera.
I had not seen any better videos then this outside 4K camera.
This is right trend to allow to mount a camera to outside to get far better video quality.
This S1 Pro Max 4K has better ADAS, that really helps for cars without side proximity sensors and collision detection.
Take a look at my videos for video quality, especially for the rear camera, and how ADAS works.

I'm very impressed by this rear camera video quality

Installation
The front camera / control unit is compact and almost invisible from outside, unless you know where to look for it.
The installation was easy for me, I also hardwired this camera due to Parking Mode usage.

The rear camera I installed at high possible location for now, as it was easier to install for me this way.
I used dual side adhesive on the glass to reduce camera vibration.
Later I might reinstall the camera near rear license plate. This camera isn't compact enough to fit there as my small parking camera.

Good videos there showing the video quality of the S1 Pro Max. Still some missed instances of detection for the ADAS, as what happens with any other dashcam with ADAS features - nowhere near what in built sensors on vehicles have.

Yes, the video quality is amazing. However that ADAS can be irritating and I believe most users will eventually turn those settings off. For instance when turning into a parking space with an adjacent vehicle, it's tells you "vehicle ahead is too close". Other than that, the S1 Pro Max is a really good setup and the idea of an exterior 4K rear camera was thinking out-of-the-box in a good way.

I'm liking this unit so much I'm going to have the rear camera permanently and professionally installed.

LIfe has been super busy here lately, so my review will be posted next month, but so far, like Tony the Tiger used to say, "It's great".

Please, share related pictures upon rear camera installation, as I'll need to reinstall it.

Yes, I agree about ADAS comments, camera ADAS isn't replacement for proper modern car related systems.
But, its better then nothing, and its configurable for what to warn about and sensitivity.
There is extra optional camera to monitor a driver, fatigue monitoring. But, with existing constant warning I don't think I'll fall in a sleep ;-)
My car is 2013 Subaru Outback, it doesn't have any sensors, so it helps me till I buy a new car with those sensors and emergency braking system.

Now I want front outside camera as well.

Will do. I've hit a snag in that though. The company I used last time went out of business. It appears new cars having integrated systems with radios being part of the backup camera and control system, the era of installing individual car stereos has declined to such a level that the company could no longer stay in business. In fact many new vehicles no longer even have a room to even install an individual stereo.

While there are still services these companies can provide, it appears there are fewer of them operating. I've been referred to one called Audio Express Inc that is still in business, so I'll be contacting them this weekend when I have time.
