Vantrue E1 Pro 4K Mini Dash Cam Front, STARVIS 2 PlatePix HDR Night Vision Car Camera, Built-in 5G WiFi GPS, 1.54'' IPS Screen, Voice Control, 24/7 Buffered Parking Mode, Support 1TB Max

I’ve been using the Vantrue E1 Pro for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The camera is small and doesn’t block my view while driving, but the video quality is excellent sharp 4K footage even in foggy or low-light conditions. I took video in SF in low light foggy day. One feature I really like is the voice control. It’s super convenient to just say the command and have it start recording or take a photo while keeping my hands on the wheel. The mobile app works smoothly for reviewing clips and downloading videos directly to my phone, which saves a lot of time. I also installed the included CPL (polarizing) filter and it really helps reduce reflections from the windshield and makes the image look more vivid and clear, especially when driving along the coast. Overall, the Vantrue E1 Pro feels well built, easy to set up, and perfect for capturing scenic drives or daily commutes. I’ve taken it around San Francisco. Highly recommend it!

This tiny but powerful front facing dash cam is amazing. It is tiny (I put a AA battery in the pictures for size reference), compact, and packed full of features like: 4K Video, Wi-Fi, Smart Voice Control, GPS, and much much more. In the box you have the everything you need to install the camera in your vehicle. You have your GPS Adhesive Mount, 2 Electrostatic stickers so you can attach to your windshield, a crobar/pry tool to help you tuck your wire/cable for the perfect clean install, adhesive cable clips, your car charge cable along with an extra USB A to C data cable, and also a Circular Polarizer (CPL) filter as an added bonus to reduce glare and reflection from the windshield. Installation was a breeze and only took about 10-15 minutes. Powering up the unit takes you through the setup process which was simple and intuitive. Please note that I tried using a spare microSD card that I had laying around which turned out to be too slow to keep up with recording 4K video (which the dashcam prompted me with the warning). I then switched to one of the cards recommended on Vantrue’s support site (using SanDisk High Endurance 512 GB) and everything worked like a charm. The dashcam does get quite hot when recording 4K video but the manufacturer assured me that it was normal and that the camera program has a high temperature protection mechanism, and will automatically shut down if the temperature is too high. Driving around the area on a sunny day produced amazing quality video. I’ll try to upload a sample if Amazon will allow…not sure about file size limits (apologies for the tiny smudge on the windshield…forgot to clean windshield prior to recording). I’ve been a long time Vantrue Dashcam user and absolutely love their products. Vantrue support has bee fantastic when needed. They make phenomenal dashcams and continue making them even better! I use Vantrue Dashcams for all our vehicles. They are great and they are built to last, even in the hot Texas Summer!

I purchased on Prime day for $99, which I thought was a good price to get my first dash cam, 4k no less. Seems to work well, and I use the app to view the videos. A little learning curve on the different options, SD card specs, and WiFi operations. App is decent. Unit is nice and small, 4k video looks good after using for about a week. I did a basic install, routing the cable in my in my truck. The unit does get pretty hot and feels like a hot potato if you hold right after prolonged use, but I know it’s the super capacitor for the high res. I used on 100+ degree days with no issues. I don’t drive much at night so haven’t tested that yet. I want to get one for rear view.

The Vantrue E1 Pro 4K Mini Dash Cam is a solid, straightforward option that does what it’s supposed to without much hassle. Setup was easy, and installation was simple — the camera’s small size makes it easy to tuck behind the rearview mirror. The only tricky part was hiding the wires; having a couple of tools on hand would’ve helped with that. The picture quality is very good for the price. The 4K video is clear enough to catch details like license plates and road signs, and nighttime footage looks decent too. The app is user-friendly and makes it simple to access videos. Just remember you’ll need to grab your clips while your phone is still within range of the camera — once you’re out of range, you can’t connect. A nice touch is that the charging adapter includes an extra USB port, so you can charge another device while using the dash cam. Overall, the Vantrue E1 Pro offers good video quality, easy setup, and a few practical features that make it a solid choice for everyday use.

I’m pretty happy with this dash cam, it is fairly inexpensive model. It gives me peace of mind while driving, and enough detail in video that I feel like I’d have a solid record if something happened. Good daylight video picks up road signs, cars, even license plates at a distance. Night captures are decent overall. Putting it on the windshield was straightforward: the magnetic/adhesive mount made setup simple, the small “black-box” tucks behind the rear-view mirror which is nice if you don’t want a bulky windshield gadget. If you want an affordable, easy-to-use dash cam that gives solid daytime footage, good night performance, and useful features — it is a very solid buy. After an hour or more of driving, the unit gets noticeably warm. I think it is good for daily drivers or commuters who want a simple front-facing dash cam to record normal driving conditions with good video quality.

Camera quality is good—even in the late evening you can clearly read license plate numbers of cars driving in the same direction as you. BUT plates from cars coming in the opposite direction are not very clear, likely because the camera records at 30fps instead of 60fps. It’s easy to install, the viewing angle is good, and the screen size is also nice, video download is straightforward. The only concern is that it gets hot. Honestly, as long as it doesn’t melt, I’m fine with it.

The Vantrue E1 Pro 4K Mini Dash Cam delivers impressive video quality both day and night. The STARVIS 2 sensor and PlatePix HDR really do make a difference — license plates and road details are sharp even in low light. The compact design makes it easy to mount discreetly behind the rearview mirror, and the app connectivity is smooth for downloading clips quickly. However, the only downside I noticed is that the settings reset after a firmware update, which is a bit frustrating. You have to reconfigure preferences like Wi-Fi, time, and video resolution manually each time. Aside from that, this is a solid, reliable dash cam with excellent clarity and performance. Definitely worth it for anyone who values high-quality footage and a compact design.

Where do you begin picking a dash cam with so many types...and reviews. Overwhelmed by the options - the pros and cons list came out. I selected this Vantrue E1 Pro 4k Mini Dash Cam and hit the roads. Right out of the box I knew I made the right choice. Delivered fast and packaged well. HINT: keep the inner product packaging as it makes a convenient protected storage box for the included extras not in use AND use the recommended SD card type!!! #1 - The product itself is the perfect size and doesn't get in the way or distracting when driving. The added benefit of the longer power cord is awesome and fits within the dash crevices, barely noticeable when using the clips included. I didn't find the cord too short or too long at all. Unser manual made it easy to understand instillation without you reading it and asking yourself "what did I just read?" Once plugged into the cigarette lighter it was good to go in under 5 minutes. I had no problems with WiFi connection so maybe some reviewers had spotty connections? I also tried the alternative usb cord and both gave the same results, no lag or pixelated images/videos. I am using the Vantrue SD card for combability AS RECOMMENDED IN THE MANUAL, found no issues with errors or formatting or recording. The dash cam has a nice heft, not cheap or plastic like others. When mounted it remains stable and didn't wobble or shake when driving, even on the gravel road by my house. I wear progressive lens glasses and the display screen is very, very clear!. Icons are easy to distinguish and navigate. Driving in direct sunlight the camera was without reflection using the included lens. I see results exactly clear like on the product listing. Night time I have no diminished clarity for phots or recording. The low night vision setting makes viewing much lighter in very dark roads. Reviewing the playback on my phone is super slick. BONUS- I used it to help "teach" a new driver in the house on some driving mistakes. Bottom line I am happy with my purchase and will buy again for the 2nd vehicle.
