【1】

今まで、進行方向前方を撮るドラレコを設置していましたが、昨今の事件をみて、車内および後方も撮影できるこのドラレコを購入しました。前後ともに FHD 30P で高画質で同時記録できます。また、夜間は車内を赤外線 LED で照明するので、暗い車内の様子も記録できます。音声記録は、本体のボタンで簡単に on/off できるので、プライバシー保護にも便利だと思います。記録画質は十分に良いのですが、記録ファイルもななかかの大きさで、５分間で、約 450MB のファイルが前後用で２個作成されます。わずか１時間で、10GB を超えてしまいます。記録には、256GB などの大容量 SDXC カードを推奨します。注意としては、1. 後方記録を正確に行いたい場合2. ＧＰＳ情報を使いたい場合の２点です。1. 後方記録を正確に行いたい場合本装置は、前方の映像はなかなかきれいですが、後方は、特に室内と車外後方の両者の明るさに差が大きいときは、車外の映像の情報量が不足するように思います。もし、車外後方の情報もできるだけ正確に記録したい場合は、車内用と後方撮影用のカメラを別々に用意した方がよいと思います。ただ、本装置の映像でも後方の車両の流れや煽られているかは容易に判別できるので、その目的には十分です。2. ＧＰＳ情報を使いたい場合この装置単体には、GPS 機能は含まれていません。GPS で位置や速度情報を取得・記録したい場合は、別売りのGPSマウントを購入する必要があります。GPS 情報は、記録した mp4 映像ファイルの下端に焼き付けられます。また、データ自体も記録されるので、vantrue 配布のソフトや、Dashcam viewer のような汎用ソフトで、撮影時の車両位置を地図と関連づけながら映像を確認できます。単に煽り運転や事故用だけではなく、旅行の記録などにも便利に使えそうです。(上述の汎用ソフトを使うことにより、動画 mp4 ファイルから、走行経路の gpx ファイルや kml ファイルを作成することもできます。こうすると、動画ファイルから走行経路情報を抽出して、Google Eath のような地図アプリ・サービスと連携させることもできて、データ活用の幅が一層広がります。）この GPS マウントですが、若干注意が必要です。製品標準添付の（ＧＰＳなし）マウントと違い、ケーブルを上から接続するタイプです。このため、セダンなどでは、ケーブルが干渉して、フロントガラスでの取り付け位置が下がりすぎる事態になります。これを避けるには、横Ｌ型 (mini-Bオス / mini-Bメス) 変換コネクタがお勧めです。これを GPS マウントに接続してからフロントガラスに取り付けると、ケーブルをフロントガラス上部に沿って横向きに接続できるので、カメラが下がりすぎることを防げます。ケーブルを GPS マウントの左側（助手席側）に出す場合は左向き用アダプタを、逆に右側（運転席側）に出す場合は、右向き用アダプタを利用します。いろいろ取り付け位置を試したい場合は、両方を購入するのがよいでしょう。ケーブルは、製品添付のものでもよいですが、mini-Bオス/USB A ケーブルを用いると、シガーソケットの代わりに多端子の USB 電源を利用することもでき、スマホや他の機器を含む電源供給が簡単になります。取り付け後に、本体設定のところで、ＧＰＳの設定を行います。ＧＰＳを捕捉すると、画面左側に表示される衛星アンテナアイコンがオレンジになります。取り付け直後は、捕捉に少々時間がかかるようですが、２回目以降はすぐに捕捉できるようです。

取り付けも簡単で非常に良いと思います、本体一つで後方も録画できるのはいい

5年前に購入した中華製格安ドラレコが、いつの間にか、起動はするがメモリーに録画されていない！！という状況になったため、急遽購入。VANTRUE社製品は初めての購入。6か月使用していますが問題なく動作しており、作りがしっかりしていて操作性も問題ありません。ただ、マウント部への取り付けがスライド電極になっているのですが、そこからの抜き差しが難しく、毎度イライラします。良い製品ですが、GPS別売で、Wi-Fi接続なし、リアカメラなしなので、フル機能が欲しい方は同社の新製品のほうがお薦めかと。

Below are my true review.Order on sat and got it on monday afternoon, very speedy delivery.First unbox of the dashcam got my surprise with the built quality of the dashcam, just like what my friend recommended. Box was well designed and packed, the dash cam itself its design and built with quality housing, camera lens is good too with both dual camera for front and back for in car view. We have the option to ON/OFF in car camera. Both lens quality is good, very clear and sharp video. I have attached a sample clip from my dashcam.The configuration of the dash cam is very simple to operate, its very easy to mount and dismount if you require to view the video clip. Just a simple press and slot it can be easily remove and mount, love this features.I might be considering getting the GPS unit for location tracking and speed displaying with simple top up of $20. It's another good thing about Vantrue as they design parts into modular to reduce selling price as some of us may not require of the parts so we do not need to pay extra for something that we do not need to use.HIghly recommended for anyone looking for a good and simple dash cam with modular add on anytime they required.

メディアを読み込めませんでした。Dashcam was very easy to setup. User manual is very detailed with good graphics to guide you through the setup. Mounting and cabling was also really easy. I think the best part of the camera is the fact that with just the one module, you can record the front and interior and don't need to run a camera/cabling to the back. Audio quality is great and night recording is not bad as well. Option for 4k front or Dual 1080p. Will also be getting the GPS mount which is quite cheap at $30 with no additional cabling or routing required, just replace the window mount. Removing the camera is very easy, and camera remains very stable during driving. Adjusting camera angles for both interior and exterior is very simple to do as well.Some down-sides is that the interior footage windows can be a little over-exposed but that's a small trade-off which I'm happy to make. The interior white balance and colours can appear to be a bit weird, especially for black colours but that's nit-picking.Overall great dashcam, and very happy with it - 8.5/10

The LCD screen and cameras are covered by a plastic cover to keep them from getting scratched. The instructions, quick start guide, registration, and accessories are all packaged neatly in the box. The standard suction cup is included along with a usb cable and power adapter. There is a separate optional GPS suction cup which I purchased to review with this camera. I won’t get into the details of the camera specs as you can read them yourselves on the description portion here on amazon. I will say in terms of interoperability it is nice that Vantrue has stuck with the same mini USB connection as opposed to going to USB-C or Mirco USB, you can interchange and upgrade cameras if you have an older Vantrue camera which uses the same power cable you ran previously in your car. This was a pleasant surprise coming from the Vantrue N1 and Vantrue R2 which I previously reviewed and use in my cars. The location of the buttons is intuitive unlike previous models with button on multiple sides. The N2 Pro buttons allow for easy one hand navigation through the menus and the emergency and ok button right in your line of sight. Camera construction is well made with a durable hard plastic to hopefully withstand internal deviated temperatures. My expectation is it will hold well to the blistering California heat waves we have in the summers. The plastic finish is not as refined as the R2 in my opinion, but looks and finish are all subjective so it is a moot point.Wiring:The provided power cord is similar to previous model Vanture cameras so not much difficulty in installing it and there is plenty of length in the cable to hide and wrap it around the windshield and along the side of the dash to reach the accessory port depending on your car. I took the power plug apart and actually soldered in two leads, shrink wrapped it using electrical shrink wrap and hardwired it behind my stereo console in one of my cars rather than purchasing a separate hardwire kit which Vantrue sells if you don’t want to go through that kind of trouble. It runs off the accessory port which is usually 12-24VDC on most cars converted to 5V @ 1-1.5A output to the camera. Like previous Vantrue cameras, there is also a direct Mini USB port so if you choose to make your own custom stand or mount in a different manner, you can get power to the camera with direct usb connection. Another advantage is if you need to remove the camera from the suction cup mount you don’t need to take the suction cup mount off, you can simply unplug the camera from the suction cup connector which makes it modular and allows for cleaner wiring. The standard power cord also has a hidden ubs plug so you can charge your phone and other accessories which is great. Another upside is the output is only 1.5A at most so you will not destroy your expensive electronics by charging them at higher C rate and degradating the battery, these small details are important if you understand Li battery technology, which most people do not. Whats good for the goose is not good for the gander.Initial Setup:Setting up this camera is fairly easy, the menu system is similar to the previous Vantrue cameras so there is no learning curve if you are familiar with the Vantrue firmware and OS. Using the Menu button you can scroll through the main 4 sub-menus. I’ll go over a few of the options I choose for my setup. Right off the back I noticed the odd way the Stamp is configured in the menu. This is not clear at all and one of the options I would like to see Vanture change in their firmware to make it more clear what is enabled and what is not. When you dabble in that menu option you will know what I’m talking about. For example if you want MPH shown there is an X and check mark, in order for the MPH to be shown on the video you have to make the cursor cover the X so that the checkmark is exposed and enable. Counter intuitive if you ask me. I opted not to use the parking sensor because I live in a relatively safe neighborhood and I’m more concerned about the drain on the car battery. If you happen to have a really large capacity battery or a backup power pack than the Parking sensor is useful to use. G-Sensor default is set to medium, I changed this to low only because my car has very stiff suspension so the ride can be a little bumpy and thus rather than trigger an impact event and fill up the microSD card I opted for a less sensitive option. If in the event you have an accident you can press the emergency button to lock that video in the Event folder which does not get overwritten. I would hope if you get into an accident you take the camera home and offload all the video data on a PC and sort through it later not having to worry about losing the video. One other setting I changed is the default video loop recording duration to maximum allowed. I find it easier to just edit down a longer video than having multiple small clips to join together, but this is all subjective and no impact on camera performance. I tested the Time Lapse mode and it is wonderful feature to my surprise, it worked very well and at 1fps it can record for a long length of time before it loops to another joined video. Although I have the parking mode turned off I can see the Time Lapse being a very useful feature for some. The Time Lapse mode works not only in Parking mode but outside of Parking mode which I believe is not available on the regular N2 model camera.microSD card and Format info:I purchased a Samsung Evo Select 64GB microSD card as I’ve had good success with these cards and Vantrue cameras in the past. I also have a Sandisk 64GB on my Vantrue R2 camera but this Samsung is a Class 10 U3 which is good for 4k recording even though this camera does not record at 4k, it records two HD 1080p streams so having a fast microSD card is worth it to prevent any issues, plus the price is no different than an older model by maybe a few bucks. That said, I put the card in and despite what the instructions say about formatting the card on a PC with a FAT32 partition the camera handled the formatting without any issues and I didn’t have to use any utilities on the PC to format it. If you insist on using a desktop utility to format it to FAT32 than use either of these freeware (Fat32Formatter 1.1 or guiformat-x64.Exe or guiformat.exe) any of these three free utilities will do the job on the PC. Vantrue says the camera actually supports up to 128GB microSD card but there could be some stability issues so for the sake of simplicity stick to a 64GB microSD card unless you are willing to experiment. I only have a single 128GB microSD (Samsung Evo Select) card, I put it in the camera as a quick test to see if there would be any issues and there was non initially, but I didn’t use it long enough to detect any possible bugs for continuous use.Camera settings:There are a few settings which are not clear from the instruction manual alone so testing them once you have the camera is the best way to find out how it impacts the operation of the camera. Surprisingly the factory default settings of this camera were more than ideal for my situation with only changes to the Stamp and a few other setting I found the camera was ready for use. Normally on the other Vantrue cameras I have made several changes before it was ready for use, but all the changes I would have normally made was default on the N2 Pro.Rear Camera:The rear camera is surrounded by 4 IR Led to aid with night vision operation which is far more useful recording inside the cabin as opposed to the front camera which has to deal with headlights and street lights constantly throwing the sensor off. The rear camera rotates on its axis so you can adjust it to get the right angle. The only grip I have is the rear camera is on the far end of the camera, it would have been better if the camera was somewhere near the center in my opinion because now I have to move the camera slightly closer to the driver to get a centered rear camera shot so there is an offset between the front and rear camera to keep into account.Video/Picture Quality:The first Dual 1080p camera I have used. I opted to use the default 1080p/1080p for both front and rear cameras. I was not surprised how clear the images were. Having previous Vantrue cameras in my other vehicles I expected the same clarity if not better and given the N2 PRO uses newer OV4689 and Sony IMX323 CMOS cameras paired with a Novatek NT96660 processor there is virtually no delays in the recording at 30fps for both cameras. The field of view on these cameras is enough to virtually cover the entire 360 range with limited dark spots. The coverage is F1.8 Front camera lens with 170 deg angle + F2.0 back cam lens with 140 deg angle. The night vision is far better than any other camera I have seen so far for in this price range. The front facing camera night vision is not like the same night vision you would see from a CCD camera, but for driving and catching license plates it does a good job. The rear camera with the 4 IR Led has a good picture quality for nighttime driving and the quality is on par with the front camera.Audio:The audio is clear and crisp in my car. Of course the quality of the acoustics does depend on the car and the materials in the car and environmental conditions so while it might work well in a Mercedes or high end vehicle you might not feel the same about your own car, I tested this in my daily driver Acura and I could make out the music very clearly as well as my own voice. Nothing unusual or to be concerned with.Noteworthy Mentions:One of the biggest improvements I’ve seen from the N1 to R2 and now this N2 PRO is the algorithm used for detecting ignition states when turning a car on and off. Depending on the car model, when you turn on the car, the ECU temporarily powers off all accessory ports, so the camera would detect no power and on the N1 it would shut the camera off than back on sometimes. The N2 PRO is smart, by that I mean when you turn on the car depending if you drive a BMW to a Toyota for example it knows the interrupt of power is from the car starting and thus no user input is required to manually turn the camera on.18 Month Warranty speaks for itself, most cameras offer a 1 year warranty if that, Joe from Vantrue is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Most importantly he responds quickly to email so if you have any issues you can be sure you will receive a response and support from Vantrue which says a lot regarding customer service these days.In my opinion the small LCD screen like the N1 is nice to have for function verification and camera setup, but, beyond that it is very small and not ideal for video playback. Unlike the R2 which has a much larger LCD screen, this camera is compact so I don’t mind giving up screen real-estate for a more compact package which the N2 PRO offers.The instruction manual could use work and be a little more descriptive and clear. In fact this manual I have is outdated and I believe it is for the N2 model not N2 Pro. This is why some of the features you must just manually test yourself to get an understanding on how it impacts the camera.The camera is fast, by that I mean when I turn on my car the camera is on within a second and when I turn off the car it shuts off about the same time so unlike previous models the N2 PRO has little to no delay. Also browsing through the menu and button response is instant.The camera comes with a 250mAh internal LiPo battery which is sufficient enough to use for a few hours at best, don’t count on it to record long durations of video as that is not what it was intended for. It is also important to note if you don’t use the supplied power cable, do not use an unregulated power adapter pumping more than 1.5A of current into the camera which could possibly cause problems with not only the camera, but cause battery problems which could result in catastrophic failure. I assume there is an internal IC which regulates current at the camera itself but better safe than sorry.The N2 Pro comes with a micro HDMI port so you can plug right into your TV for playback which is nice to have but the cable is not provided.When the camera is recording there is a blue led which is lit in the Emergency button, the R2 had a very visible led which is brighter. This is a both a pro and con, if you are wearing sunglasses the blue led is very hard to see on the N2 Pro but the upside is it is not bright at night so it is not as obnoxious.The GPS playback is great evidence and proof if you ever have an accident or receive a ticket which you can use in your defense. This is one of the biggest pros with this camera is the option to add the GPS receiver mount which has almost the same footprint as the standard mount. Well worth the additional investment for the N2 Pro and the software provided which can be downloaded from the Vantrue website is easy to use and packaged for both Apple and Windows OS.Honestly from using other Vantrue cameras my expectation with the N2 Pro was high because each iteration Vanture has put out there is always some new improvement or feature to look forward to. The N2 Pro succeeds the previous models with a range of upgrades and features unlike its predecessor. With the integration of a rear camera and rich added features this is leaps and bounds better so if I had to make a suggestion and recommendation to anyone looking for a camera I would not hesitate to recommend the Vantrue N2 Pro.Update: 8-25-17: Added video with Sun directly hitting the camera. I also have a very light reflective tint to help keep the car cool so the optics and windshield are not the most clear from all the micro pits from driving on the freeway/roads.Update: 8-26-17: I saw one reviewer complain about cabin recording and I felt compelled to talk about the IR feature. The IR led work great, probably the best in any camera I've seen in this price range. You just have to turn them on or set it to Automatic. When the camera is on hit the Power button and on the top right side of the LCD screen you will see it cycle between Auto, On and Off. Try it again it works very well.
