The Vantrue N5 features a groundbreaking 4-channel recording system, capturing video from the front (158°), front cabin (160°), rear cabin (160°), and rear (165°) simultaneously. This provides 360-degree coverage without blind spots at a maximum resolution of 2.7K (1944P) + 1080P + 1080P + 1080P. Various recording modes (1CH/2CH/3CH/4CH) can be selected as needed.

4.3 STARVIS 2 & IR Night Vision
Equipped with STARVIS 2 technology, the N5 delivers exceptional performance in low-light conditions, capturing clear details like license plates. The front inside and rear inside cameras feature infrared lights for crisp cabin images even in unlit environments, enhancing nighttime driving safety.

4.4 5G WiFi & GPS & OTA Upgrade
The integrated 5G WiFi module provides 4x faster transfer speeds for real-time video preview, download, editing, and online sharing via the free Vantrue APP.

4.5 24/7 Buffered Parking Mode
When connected with a hardwire kit (sold separately), the N5 automatically switches to parking mode when your car is off. It records suspicious activity triggered by movement or collision, providing vital evidence. Buffered motion detection ensures the entire event is captured, including 10 seconds pre-recording. Low frame rate mode optimizes storage for long-term parking.

4.6 Kontroll tal-Vuċi Intelliġenti
Control your dash cam hands-free with multiple language voice commands (English, Russian, Chinese, French, Japanese). Commands include saving video, taking photos, starting/stopping video, turning audio/WiFi/screen on/off. This feature minimizes distraction and enhances driving safety.

4.7 Loop Recording and G-Sensor
Loop recording automatically overwrites the oldest files when the SD card is full, ensuring continuous recording. The variable sensitivity G-sensor detects collisions and automatically locks emergency videos into a separate event folder, preventing them from being overwritten.
