Thanks for your kind words mate and having a squiz at the videosThank you for those comparison videos! Very helpful.
Looking at the front cams, the Viofo looks to have better clarity and detail including sign and license plate capture. It does look like there's way more windshield reflections on the Vantrue though. Could you doublecheck to ensure it's oriented correctly? It might need a little bit of rotation to knock out those reflections.
The rear cam also looks way better on the Viofo. The focus looks better on the Viofo which can impact things, but it also has a higher bitrate and I prefer its white balance too.
With the interior cams, nothing really jumps out much in the daytime, but at night the Viofo looks to have better contrast and flare management. Do you see similar results from the Vantrue when running it solo, without a second set of IR LED's next to it?
With the single channel comparison, looks like the Viofo again does better at plate capture with the traffic going the opposite direction. Not sure if it's due to the lens or the Viofo recording at nearly 2x the bitrate. At night, both cams are able to grab plates, but again I'm seeing a slight edge in clarity with the Viofo.
Overall to my eye after watching the videos, it's a solid W for Viofo.
The reflections are definitely there and I'm aware of, just haven't got around to re-doing the wiring again cos of the placement of the Vantrue (it picks up my car's lane guidance cameras to the right, and then there's Frank the Horse's brown reflection on the dashboard LoL)
I see similar results for the Vantrue's cabin camera when running it solo, and I noticed that on my standalone cabin Vantrue footage from weeks back (where I had no other cameras put up in my car). There is some reflections there so something isn't right in the hardware perhaps...
Also for the cabin quality, I think the processing is way better on the Viofo even though it may appear too sharpened for some folks. Would much rather have oversharpening than the muddiness which seems to affect the Vantrue.
As you said, it's a total win for the Viofo here it's almost no contest.
