Welcome,

Front sensor is a Sony Starvis two, Wi-Fi 5 and an app control, voice control, buffered parking mode, GPS logger and it's super capacitors.
Here is a demonstration of the cameras and what they can see.
The side of the Dashcam has an orange button, this is the on off button.
The memory card and reset button, are under this cap.
'Opening Box'
I'm trying to avoid boring you too much.
It comes in a nice white package and wrapped in plastic.
The box beside it is the Hardwire kit.
3 types of fuse taps are supplied, okay how cool is that
and what I'd call a micro I don't know what the proper term is.
they're all five amperes fuses, yeah yep
The Hardwire kit has the option of 11.6 volts or 12 volts cutoff.
it actually has a 3M sticker on it and very light wire gauge I must say
um

there is no cable rating on the wire which feels really light gauge.
There are no markings on the cable.

cost and Power plus the fuses to tap into the fuses and the cables here between
pretty neat and if you need to get that off you need to pull on that squarely
beautiful
thank you
I noticed the interior recording was in black & white at night. Is that the IR sensors kicking in, or am I missing something? I could change it from black & white to color on my N4, but I don't know if there is a way to switch on the N5.
The black and white happens when the IR turn on. In my in car video it's on a dark hwy everything you see is because the IR are on. The IR work extremely well. When the interior light is turned on the N5 will automatically go to colour like normal.
@@LateralNW thank you for your time
Hi about the hardwire kit have low voltage protection? incase the battery low voltage can be shut-off or contenues ? thanks
Yes it does have low voltage cut-off. Select between 11.6Volt and 12Volt. ua-cam.com/video/E2XOOweAZqg/v-deo.html
Does it have Advanced Driver Assistance System warnings ? Thanks
This dashcam doesn't have ADAS.
Do all cameras detect motion or only the main camera does?
All
How were you able to zoom in exactly? Thanks.
Which part? I use Vegas Pro and in-between the crashes on the software I manage to use its zoom feature.
Only a 11.6v hardwire kit selector is terrible. I would never allow my battery to drain that low
I agree. You may missed that is also has 12V setting. They have since released other hardwire units.
does anyone have any idea how to install a 3 lead hardwiring kit from vantrue on a silverado
A hard wire installation video for the Vantrue Nexus 5 is coming. Is there anything special about having to be for a Silverado?
What am I doing wrong. I have the little green indicator light on the n5 front screen and rear screen camera but within 1 min of driving I can’t see nothing on the screen. If I push the orange on button on the left side where the sd card goes it powers up and then 1-2 mins later it goes back to the black screen. I’ve hard wired it in via the fuse box under the steering wheel of my Skoda Fabia mk3
Check your hardwired kit is wired correctly. Some circuits in the car may power down once the car is running. Every car is different and so is the hardwire kits.
do you have spanish language? Thanks
Para nada
Unfortunately I can't speak Spanish but I have created a transcript with time stamps. If the text is copied and then paste into a text to speech converter it will read it out in the language that is chosen. Espero que esto ayude
Does this even have HDR? Night time footage was terrible
This dashcam doesn't have HDR on the front facing camera.
