Vantrue N4S

Should you buy the Vantrue N4S?

The Vantrue N4S is built for anyone whose car is also a workplace: rideshare drivers, delivery drivers, and parents who want to see what happens in the back seat. It records front, rear, and cabin at once with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor on each channel, and it replaces the discontinued Vantrue N4 that made this three-camera layout popular. If you never need interior footage, the 70mai A810 or Viofo A229 Plus will save you money.

Where it earns its score

• Three channels, three STARVIS 2 sensors. 2.7K front, 1440p rear, and 1440p interior, with no weak link among the cameras.
• Features leads the card at 92. This is the highest Features score among the dash cams we rank, and it reflects how much coverage you get from one purchase.
• Night vision inside the cabin. Infrared keeps interior footage usable in the dark, which matters most for the people this camera was designed for.
• Quality score of 88. Second only to the Thinkware U3000 PRO and Viofo A229 Pro in build and image quality.

What to know first

• Warranty is the weakest ViperScore factor. It scores 55, so plan on the standard short coverage window.
• Value takes a hit. At $269.99 it is the second most expensive camera in our list, and Value scores 78 because the price reflects the three-camera hardware.
• Parking mode needs a hardwire kit. Sold separately, and required if you want the cameras active while the car sits.
• Not 4K. The front camera tops out at 2.7K; if 4K front resolution matters more than cabin coverage, look at the A229 Pro.
