Vantrue - E2

I have the Vantrue E2 front and back dashcam. It’s pretty easy to install and plugs into your AC outlet (the plug also has a spare USB so you can still plug other stuff in). I ran the wires through the headliner so it looks clean. But they have so many available on Amazon and right now it’s Black Friday deals so you can score some nice price cuts. https://preview.redd.it/yi64ajq0fk2g1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d3b19bd8bb4ede2805afc7f551f68e36db4fc0f

I have a Vantrue E2 that I moved from my 2013 Subaru to a 2025 Hyundai. One of the reasons I chose the Vantrue is that they have the option to connect via the OBD port rather than hardwiring to the fuse box. It has a voltage cutoff switch you can set to shut the camera down if the battery voltage drops below a set point. I've had it for maybe 3 years and have been pleased with it.

I ended up with a Vantrue E2 and couldn't be happier with my decision 4 months later. I really love the little button that I put next to the steering wheel to push when something happens and it puts that video in a special folder.

VanTrue E2, just had the unfortunate need to use the video recordings recently. Caught being rear ended in 1440p :<, cables are really long, just tucked it into the rubber along the doors.

Vantrue is a good one. Their front and backs are a bir expensive, but hey, they work i got one of their cheaper ones ($85) but u do need to order a few more things with it, like a micro SD card (depending on size I spent $20 on a 256gb) and u can get a hardware kit that you have to plug into your fuze box and it let's you do a parking feature so if your car gets hit or someone walks infront of a camera it will record for a minute and then stop, it also has a power protection function to keep the camera from killing the battery of your car to the point u can't start it, This is one of their front and rear ones its on sale right now https://a.co/d/8vP9Zcl And you know u can trust a company when a popular, well-known youtube mechanic recommends it (Chris-fix recommends this brand and even did a video on installing them i watched his video with little to no knowledge on how to install it and got it done in under a hour)

Ohh whoops, I have an E2 in my other car, not an E1 Pro

I’ve got a Vantrue E2 (front & rear). If you have an accessible OBD port then use a wiring kit that utilises it. This essentially lets you have the features of hard wiring but from a plug, then it’s much easier to wire yourself. I’ve only ever wired my own in (inc hardwiring previously) and would recommend anyone to give it a try, it’s mostly about hiding the wires into door seals etc

I have a Vantrue E2 (front and rear) in my 2015 Highlander and E1 (front only) in my 2018 CRV. I’ve had them for about 2 years now and have had no issues. Great video quality. Would definitely recommend front and rear coverage. The Highlander was hit from behind and the other drivers insurance company was trying to blame me. I sent the insurance rep a video of the accident while we were on the phone and she then saw things my way haha. Easy to install, took about 30 minutes.

I have a VanTrue E2 in my Highlander - front and rear coverage. It’s about a year old, I reformat it every few months, via app on my phone. Great clarity and the 3M sticky that hold the camera to the front and back windows has held up well. We also have the E1 in our other car, works great too. The install took about 20 minutes and we were able to hide all of the wires. Wire pops out of passenger side leg area underneath radio.

I’ve bought multiple VioFo and VanTrue. We have the VioFo A229 Pro in both cars and a VanTrue E2 in another. Don’t buy a Pruveeo

I age a CRV, I use the VanTrue E2. Very reliable camera. My wife has the VioFo a229 pro which is discreet and works well. The fitcamx wasn’t hard to install in my neighbours civic but it’s only front facing.

The VanTrue E2 is my favourite but my wife likes her VioFo A229 Pro.

I like and recommend the Vantrue E2. This isn’t a time to cheap out.
