Vantrue E1 Lite 1080P WiFi Mini Dash Cam with GPS and Speed, Free App, Voice Control Detachable Dash Camera, 24 Hours Parking Mode, Night Vision, Motion Detection, Loop Recording, Support 512GB Max

Low profile, stays out of the way and peace of mind while driving. Super easy to set up. I highly recommend a hardwire kit as well. Easy to use app is a plus.The app does not like wireless carplay/ android auto. You will have to completely disconnect your phone from your vehicle so you can connect to the dashcams app instead of the vehicle. Not a huge deal as you can reconnect easily.G-force sensor is sensitive. Even at the highest force required to trigger locking a video, a simple speed bump at low speed or an uneven surface can trigger the "video lock" sound. I ended up turning the sound off as no matter what setting I put the G-force sensor on it never changed.

I have liked the camera so far. I think they made several improvements on their previous model that I used, although some may not be preferred.TLDR; I like it a lot, I would change some things, but they are mostly personal preferences over general user needs.Pros:Camera and microphone quality are great.The initial startup of the camera is a lot more helpful.When you disconnect the camera from the mount, it saves before powering off, so you do not lose the last recorded video.Video clips made are now 5 minutes instead of 20 minutes, and saved to a different folder with a button press or voice command, which makes finding saved moments the intended way easier. With my last camera I would end recordings early to make them easier to distinguish.The buttons are easier to use when driving.It is easier to remove from the mount, since it is just a slide on with no latch mechanism. I wonder if this will hold in an accident, but I am not worried about losing the previous video from it losing power, so it is not a big deal.The phone app is convenient, and I like that the computer app is not needed for convenient video access with computer.Support on Facebook is still very helpful and will do their best to assist you with whatever the issue is.The manual is clearer on some things I asked support about previously, such as if 1 or 5 is the high for the G-Sensor.Cons:In order to get direct file access connecting to the computer, you need to use the USB-C cable that comes with the camera. I just happened to have 3 other cables for other devices, all of which were just black cables, so that was confusing for a bit. I would recommend adding some color to it somewhere to make it more identifiable.Event folder videos will overwrite each other if there is no open recording space. I can see why this is a thing, but also it is risky if you do not move videos off frequently. This is somewhat mitigated by the format reminder, which is new.The camera does not swivel at all. As a plus, you don't have to worry about the angle changing when hitting a button or a bump or another car, but also you cannot change it if something is happening just off camera.It is easy to accidentally set the time wrong when you first set it up without realizing that it uses military time, ie 6PM = 18. It is an embarrassing mistake, but it took me a while to figure out why my dates and times were off.Both:They recommend using one of their SD cards. I used the one I already had with no issues, although I would like if there were an option to add it to the Amazon order, since I didn't realize about theirs until reading the manual.The manual is a bit long, but well written for the most part. The only big change I would make is adding the voice command list in the manual. It references the voice commands, but the list of commands may only be found in the camera menu itself. I figure this may be because the camera may update in the future, and the manual if saved would not update.It includes and adhesive piece for attaching the camera mount, which is good and I did not have it come loose at all. However, wherever you put it is where it will stay indefinitely, so decide well. There are two though, so you get a redo. I would have preferred if the mount were two pieces, so that you may have more than one mount location, but that would also be more expensive.The voice commands are a great addition, since it lets you control the camera with less risk of affecting your driving. Most worked for me and both the camera and remote microphones pick up well, however I could not get a couple voice commands to work ever. Not sure if it is an accent or enunciation thing, but I never got them to work.

Vantrue E1 2.7K is an excellent dash camera, with easy to learn operation, and one of the smallest footprint dash cameras made. It provides excellent picture quality, night and day. It syncs up with my iPhone every time, although I don’t find the need to sync, as I’m not interested in watching myself drive. The clarity at 2.7 K is very good, and license plates can be made out clearly. With the 1 inch screen, you can see everything the camera is capturing, and with the remote button, the instant you need to take a picture or save a loop recording, it makes it so convenient and easy. I mounted the remote on the dash between my screen and AC, and it blends seamlessly into the rest of the dash. I recommend the ODB power cord, as you can route the wire completely around the window and never have it cluttering your center console.

So I needed a single dash cam that I could install in the back of my truck, because I have one for the front that hooks into the rain sensor wiring. I missed the part where you can’t add a back camera later. Enter this little thing.First off it doesn’t come with the SD card and it is a micro SD card.It also runs on its own wireless network. You don’t hook it up to your home WiFi.It doesn’t swivel all around, so it sit a little crooked but that’s because it’s in the rear window.The cable is long enough to route it all through your vehicle.I like the fact that it is small and doesn’t take up much room in the rear window.The app seems to be a little bit slow.To download the footage you have to hook it up to a computer.This would have been four stars if the sd card had been included.

The media could not be loaded. Overall it is a really great product. However, it doesn't come with an SD Card. You can buy one online (as I did) or go to a local store such as walmart to pick up a Micro SD card(which I also did.) the setup is stress free, and you can also have the option to hardwire it to your fusebox(you'd have to buy it separately which is what I did) it functions really well, easily accessible through your smartphone. Has surprisingly great quality for such a small product, and the design itself is super beneficial to not block your view when you're driving. I hardwired it to my 2021 classic warlock ram 1500. I tied the read lead to my outlet and my yellow accessory wire to my cigar lighter(in case anyone has any issues.)

Records every minute your car is on! Never have to worry if I missed something with this device the camera does great day or night very pleased with the product ordered another for the other car! Main reason is it records speed as well

DO NOT BUY.They are AWFUL. Extremely difficult to use. The app is awful you can't access any video footage unless connected to the camera. So if you're in a wreck and your camera breaks you're SOL as far as recovering footage. Buyer beware. Save your money.
