Vueroid S1 4K Infinite - Test & Review

[TonyM]

Vueroid kindly invited me to test their latest dashcam - the S1 4K Infinite - which is available in 1CH, 2CH and 3CH versions.

These are my first impressions after using the S1 4K 3CH for a month. I will add to the review over time as I evaluate its wide range of features and options.

I am testing the S1 4K in the UK. Note that it is not yet available to purchase in Europe but Vueroid have plans to offer the S1 4K here in the future.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

• Everything from the packaging, the dashcam, the app and the website have a premium feel. Not flashy, but well thought out with good design.
• I appreciate the focus on reliability - the most important feature of any dashcam
• The dashcam buttons are responsive and there is no lag moving through the on-screen menu
• The HUB app is easy to use, although a settings button on the front page would be useful
• The LCD screen is too bright, making the real-time view look over-exposed
• The front and rear cameras have excellent sharpness across the wide field of view with minimal vignetting (dark corners)
• The interior camera has a very wide view with low distortion
• Interior camera HDR is effective. I wish the IR LEDs were brighter for better illumination within the car
• Video quality is very good - I am still evaluating the various modes in different lighting conditions
• Motion blur is an issue in lower light conditions (cloudy, or near sunrise/sunset) - UPDATE: This is much improved in FW V1.3.11
• Audio quality is excellent
• The CPL filter for the front camera is very effective. Unfortunately there is no option to fit a CPL filter to the rear camera.
• The interior camera has an off-centre ball joint which is versatile for positioning the camera within the cabin
• Very quick start up to record when turning on the ignition
• Very quick start up to record when registering an impact in Extreme Low Power Mode (ELPM)
• I wish there was a low-bitrate continuous recording option for parking mode, although I am starting to like ELPM more than I expected
• Auto REC Off Zone is very useful - it automates shutting down rather than entering parking mode every time I park on my driveway. I really appreciate this time saver.
• Cable management could be better (more on this later)
• AI privacy and licence plate restoration features are promising but need further development
  • Vueroid have only just started training their AI model on UK licence plates (I am submitting videos for analysis)
  • Blurring the driver's face on the interior camera video is useful for sharing online in reviews etc.

Box Contents

I'm not going to show an unboxing video or post photos of all the contents, as other reviewers have already done that.

The dashcam is packaged inside a sturdy blue box embossed with the VUEROID logo, within a slip cover that has an understated design.

Removing the blue box lid reveals simple yet functional foam packing around the front and rear cameras. The foam is in two layers that are not connected and there's no continuous base layer so it's a bit awkward taking things out and putting them back in again if desired, but they do their primary job of protecting the cameras.

Underneath the foam lies a cardboard compartment that contains all the other items, including the hardwire cable and the Interior camera, plus plenty of spare adhesive tape pieces for re-mounting the cameras if needed.

None of the cameras have a spare mount, so this is not a dashcam that you can easily move to another car at short notice. If it is possible to purchase a spare GPS mount that would at least allow you use the front camera in a hire car for example.

FRONT CAMERA

The front camera is a wedge-style design with an articulated lens for up/down angle adjustment. The lens housing also features a white security LED. In normal driving and parking recording modes this LED slowly dims and brightens, but it can be disabled in the settings if desired.

The two-tone grey is a bit different from all-black without being too obvious. The chrome ring around the lens does catch the light and may not be to everyone's taste, especially if you want a discreet setup.

The front camera slides sideways onto the GPS mount with a very secure mechanism. There are two rows of pins to carry power and data because the 12v power supply and both remote cameras plug into the GPS mount. This makes it easier to slide the camera off the mount and bring it inside if desired without unplugging the cables.

Side views of the front camera, attached to the GPS mount. Just the microSD card slot on one side, and the USB-C port on the other side.

The front face features a 2.3" LCD screen, 3No LED indicator lights below the REC, WIFI and MIC markers, and 5No buttons for accessing the menu functions.

The top edge of the front camera has a physical on/off switch - ideal if you want to disable recording entirely without unplugging any cables.

On the top edge of the GPS mount there are three sockets for the 12V DC power supply and to connect the rear and internal cameras.

Vueroid supply a CPL filter for the front camera which is a welcome inclusion rather than being an optional accessory. The filter is stored in a sturdy protective box, complete with a small microfibre cloth.

The filter itself feels well-designed, with a metal ring that is textured for grip. The filter pushes onto the lens barrel with a friction fit. Aligning the white indicator with the mark on top of the lens barrel should be the correct position, but it can be rotated for fine adjustment if necessary. I found the default position to be perfect in my car.

Attaching the filter does change the appearance of the dashcam when seen from outside the car. The chrome ring is no longer visible.

 

[TonyM]

REAR CAMERA

The rear camera is wedge design, with a similar style as the front camera including a chrome ring around the lens, but without the security LED.

There is no CPL filter available for the rear camera, however the rotating lens housing is a flat rectangle so for anyone interested in a DIY solution something like the Viofo CPL-300 might work with a spacer on both sides.

The range of up/down angle adjustment is not as wide as seen on other cameras, especially barrel-style cameras:
- The furthest down position is parallel to the mount, i.e. parallel to the glass surface
- The furthest up position is approximately 20° down from perpendicular to the glass surface, so it may not work on vehicles with a vertical rear window. EDIT - The wide FOV of the rear camera allows it to work well on a vertical rear window.

The rear camera has a captive pigtail cable approx 30cm long with a female socket on the end. The 6m rear camera cable plugs into this in-line socket.

I'm not a big fan of this arrangement for installation on a rear hatchback window. The splice is in an awkward location for feeding the cable through the flexi rubber tube into the void above the roof headliner (one of my other rear camera cables follows this route). Currently I have the cable hanging from adhesive clips into the rear trunk area.

INTERIOR CAMERA

The interior camera design is completely different to the front and rear cameras. It is a small box attached to an angled arm via a ball & socket joint that is secured with a locking collar. The short arm has a flat mount base with 3M adhesive.

This design is extremely versatile for camera placement, allowing the camera to be aimed up/down, left/right, and also rotated 360°.

I have positioned the interior camera directly above the rear view mirror, mounted on the rain sensor housing. The camera adjustment allows me to correct for the angled housing surface and align the camera exactly where I want it.

NOTE: I have added a third-party privacy cover (originally designed for a Logitech webcam) so I can block the camera's view when I have my family in the car with me.

The wide range of mounting options allowed me to experiment with a side-facing camera placement, mounted on the sloping surface of my dashboard.

The ball joint lets me twist the camera to the horizontal, and I can aim it a few degrees to the front or rear as desired.

FRONT CAMERA
Vueroid have chosen a high-quality lens for the front camera that has a wide field of view and is also very sharp across the entire frame.

With the Video Enhancing option set to "Normal" the dynamic range is very good, colours are under-saturated. There is some noise/grain present, but I would rather have this than lose details to noise reduction.

With the Video Enhancing option set to "HDR+IPC" the dynamic range is excellent, colours are punchier and more representative of the actual scene. HDR processing appears to remove the noise that is present in the Normal video.

Note that the pair of S1 4K in my car are on the left and right side of the rear view mirror, so their alignment is not exactly the same.

(HDR+IPC on the left, Normal on the right, CPL off)

FRONT CAMERA

The same car park 1 hour later, with a CPL fitted to both cameras. I parked here to inspect the detail on nearby cars & people at greater range than the examples in the post above.

Very nice comparison shots Tony!
HDR+IPC does look like the better choice regarding color accuracy and noise.

Yes, HDR (or HDR+IPC) perform better than Normal for static videos like these.

That's not the full story though. My daytime preference when driving is Normal due to the way it handles moving subjects, especially in low light.

I prefer enabling HDR in parking mode.

 

[Karagandinez]

Personally, I find the color accuracy better in Normal mode. This mode shows you exactly what you see, without embellishment.
Using the "HDR+IPC" setting, colors become brighter and more saturated. More artistic.
Compare photos 3 and 4 in my post linked below.

For feature films, the "HDR+IPC" setting is better.
With this setting, colors become brighter and more saturated.

Although maybe there is something wrong with my eyesight...

I agree that colour accuracy is better in Normal mode, however I would like to see the saturation increased a little bit because at the moment it does not match what I see.

 

[kamkar]

A little sad there is no mount for the rear camera, i do prefer to remove those cameras when cleaning the rear window.
But i am partly saved here by the fact i mount the primary camera off the hatch steel frame using a magnet, so that one camera do come off, but any other as i can not mount those beside but have to do below, they are mounted on glass in a traditional manner.

Not mounting beside as that would put the cameras outside wiper coverage.

Do any of you use the AutoGlym products to clean your windshield?

AutoGlym

I have been using their Fast Glass, Glass Polisher, and windshield washer. Been pleased with the products so far, the cleanest my windshield has ever been.

 

[kamkar]

No not familiar with that brand.

REAR CAMERA

Just like the 4K front camera, the 2K rear camera on the S1 4K has a wide Field of View and is also sharp from edge to edge.

HDR is always-on both day and night and it does a very good job at lifting shadow details even when the sky is bright.

 

[TonyM]

S1 4K REAR CAMERA vs A329S

Comparing the rear cameras of the S1 4K and the Viofo A329S shows the wider FOV of the S1 camera.

The exposure is brighter on the S1 whilst the result is more natural on the A329S - both renditions have their merits.

The colours on the A329S are more accurate than the S1. Compare these to the S1 front camera videos of the same cars in post #6 above.

The A329S rear camera has a CPL filter installed. The S1 4K rear camera does not support a CPL filter. This will account for some of the differences in appearance between the two images, including the reflection of the parcel shelf in the lower 1/4 of the S1 image. I would like to see Vueroid make provision for an optional rear camera CPL on future dashcams.

Comparing another pair of S1 4K and A329S rear camera images, both of them cope well with the high dynamic range of the scene with the sun behind the clouds.

Differences in processing have produced different results, but they're both more than good enough for use as dashcam evidence.

 

[TonyM]

INTERIOR CAMERA

The interior camera has a useful wide FOV of 170° with low distortion.

The always-on HDR works well to show both the car interior and what is happening along both sides.

The wide coverage is useful when driving on multi-lane roads, showing the blind-spot on both sides to complement the rear camera view.

When driving at night the 3No IR LEDs are bright enough to illuminate the driver and passenger, but the rear seats are rather dark even in my compact car.

Night capture in a well-lit car park

Despite the glare from headlights through my untinted rear window, the HDR has maintained a decent exposure within the cabin.

 

[kamkar]

Yes interior footage look adequate to me, being the kind of person that do not feel like he would have a big need for something like that.

@TonyM
Great review.
The comparison to the Viofo really helped.

I am testing the S1 4K in the UK. Note that it is not yet available to purchase in Europe but Vueroid have plans to offer the S1 4K here in the future.

Have they mentioned any other countries it will be released or not released in?
My understanding from a post i can't find said they where only focusing on America.

NOTE: I have added a third-party privacy cover (originally designed for a Logitech webcam) so I can block the camera's view when I have my family in the car with me.

That looks like it was designed for it. I thought you may have 3D printed it. Respect for respecting your family.

Comparing the rear cameras of the S1 4K and the Viofo A329S shows the wider FOV of the S1 camera.

This comparison shows clear as day the pro and cons of large FOV.

At first the Vueroid image put me off due to the FOV but when consider the most important thing with a dash cam is getting as much information you can then the FOV makes sense.

Having said that the Viofo looks fantastic.
I know Vueroid said somewhere in here that they could flatten the image or something like that but decided not to.

When i looked at image ( sorry bold won't turn off)

1762775752197.webp. It is looking out the back window there are 2x suv type vehicles and their number plates aren't straight and the second car also has a line along the back that "wobbles" along it. Must be where the lens introduces FOV limits​

Cheers. (Ok bolds off now🤯 lol)
