    The Vantrue Nexus 4S films what\u2019s going on in front of and behind your car, along with what\u2019s happening in the cabin \u2013 that could be an advantage if you carry passengers, or need to prove you were paying attention.

    While some dash cams come with AI features like lane-keeping assist or traffic alerts, the N4S is focused on video \u2013 that shouldn\u2019t be a problem in newer vehicles which have built-in safety systems.

    Introduction<\/h2>\n

    Plenty of dash cams these days come with driver assistance features that aim to mirror what you get on the latest cars: they can tell you when you\u2019re leaving your lane or when the vehicle in front sets off, for example. The Vantrue Nexus 4S doesn\u2019t do that: it\u2019s a reasonably straightforward three-camera bundle focused on recording what\u2019s going on in and around your car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This set comprises two separate devices. The main, bar-shaped unit has a front-facing camera and rear-facing screen, together with a rear-facing cabin camera supported by infrared lighting to make sure it can see in the dark. The second device is a dedicated rear camera, linked to the first by a lengthy USB-C cable. You can upgrade this set with an LTE module that adds mobile data features, but that wasn\u2019t available at the time of our review.<\/p>\n

    For a mid-range bundle the Vantrue N4S (as Vantrue sometimes calls it) is fairly well specified. All three of its cameras use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, specifically designed for good low-light and surveillance performance. The main unit records at a maximum 2592\u00d71944 resolution, while the rear and cabin cameras both top out at 2560\u00d71440. All manage 30 frames per second, which ought to be enough to capture everything \u2013 so how well does it work in practice?<\/p>\n
