Great Dash Cam, But Installation Isn’t Simple

The VanTrue Nexus 5 N5 delivers excellent video quality and surprisingly useful multi-angle coverage, but installing it took more effort than I expected. The mount only sticks well on smooth glass, and routing the cables—especially to the rear camera—requires some planning.
Once everything was finally set up, though, the experience was great. The app is easy to use, the footage is super clear day and night, and the extra camera views are genuinely helpful. Overall, a high-quality dash cam that performs really well—but the tricky installation keeps it from being a full five stars.

A very good dash cam with 360 degree coverage and incredible night vision. Also has a rear cabin camera that completely covers the back side of the car as well as the back seats. The parking mode works great to record any movement around the vehicle.

I’ll be honest—installing the Vantrue Nexus 5 was a little trickier than I expected at first. The key ended up being avoiding the slightly textured area of my windshield; once I moved it to a smooth spot, everything went on perfectly.
After that, the experience completely turned around. The video quality is excellent—super clear, both day and night—and the app makes everything incredibly easy to access and manage. Once it was set up correctly, using it became a total breeze. If you want a high-quality dash cam with really impressive footage, this one is absolutely worth it.

Easy to setup right out of the box. Even extra adhesives if you need to re-attach someplace else. Everything you need to get setup is included.
The app is a snap to d/l and attach to the dashcam and works very well. The only complaint I have is the rear camera is mounted on my liftgate. A little more challenging routing the wire to that from the cabin, and the extra wire you need to for when the liftgate will hang down and can get piched in the liftgat when you close it. Just need to be careful I guess where you route that wire if you have a liftgate. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

I bought this dash camera to replace and old one that stopped working. The quality of the camera and the picture quality on this camera is much better than my previous one. The fact that this is three cameras in one means I’m covered inside my vehicle and from the front and rear. Installing it is super easy. With supplied tools it is very easy to tuck wires behind panels to make them disappear. I also like that the plug gives you an additional usb outlet for other devices.

Solid choice - loads of bells and whistles

For multiple reasons, a dash cam became a smart choice for me. Super impressed by the look and feel of this one! I have to admit, there is going to be a learning curve with so many options from voice assistance to display options on the screen to loop recording time choices. The collision detection, event video recording, GPS function and info gathering of time, date, speed are very thorough! My initial experience tells me I maybe should have considered a professional installation.

Piece of mind and a rear view camera

I bought the Vantrue N5 for my son who drives part time for several food delivery services. The camera provide us with a little extra piece of mind in case something bad happens on the road. He drives an older model Honda element that did not come with a rear camera. That feature along was worth the cost of the N5. The only downside was the installation on his tail gate which was a challenge wiring it.

Great Dashcam For A Family

I really like using this dashcam. I didn’t think i would use most of the camera angles that it give you but i ended up using them all! The front facing camera to watch the shady drivers, the front cabin camera to be able to see my forward facing toddler in the carseat, the rear cabin camera to see my baby in the rear facing carseat, and the rear camera to see my blind spots. I am glad i went with this dashcam. The installation wasnt too hard. I did it myself and hid them underneath the trim. Just plan where everything goes first.

My 4Runner feels brand new again

Hi All, I installed the Vantrue N5 in my 2004 Toyota 4-Runner, and wow, it feels like my SUV was reborn. This dash cam covers nearly 360 degrees, records motion even when parked, and the video quality day or night is incredible. I love the peace of mind it gives me knowing everything around and inside the vehicle is captured.
Setup took a little patience (running the cables cleanly), and the main unit’s a bit bulky, but once it’s in, it’s rock solid. Wi-Fi, GPS, and parking mode all work as promised. The included 128 GB card was a nice touch too.
This thing is next-level tech and worth every penny, 5 stars.
