Be careful buying the vantrue. I bought the N4 and after a month it started to get stuck in home screen, I did everything I could but nothing happened. Then I returned it and got the N5, same thing happened. Speaking of luck 😡. Good thing I returned that shit. It is an expensive dash cam, i will be trying this Viofo a229 pro soon 🤞
We recorded it with full reveal. We had it all done with product listed and etc. But yet again Android app is not fixed, and final production delayed again another 2 weeks. We told them we cannot put it on the channel anymore. I feel like Vortex Radar and Radenso Theia. I think its Theia radar detector that just never came out. This dash cam is made in Korea. Works great and has No Forums on DASH CAM TALK. They are huge in Asia. The only thing I don’t like is AVI video files. But if you download from the app it is MP4. It is basically a hybrid between U3000 and A229 pro. The mystery continues…..
I think the new 4k was the best until the night time driving. Then the n4 took charge. BUT, if the A139 Pro was part of this test, I think it would have taken charge in all aspects 😉
Nice videos, would be good with some example of license plate reading as with youtube compression is not exactly easy to see which from this 4 is the best on this aspect.
What is the New 4K Dash Cam; I'm still confused between 970X Plus and Thinkware U3000. I want LTE Cloud but think I could also install a wifi hotspot and use it with the Thinkware; would it be the same.
No Cloud. There is desktop software. But they keep delaying production due to parts shortage in supply chain. Disappointing because it has great video quality, low current parking mode,
It probably is irrelevant, but each of the 4 video feeds show a different color blue for the automobile hood. Which one is the closest to the actual color of the car?
Nice comparison for certain. I always wonder why there is so much difference in lighting quality between dash cams when going through long tunnels. Do you have a link for the New 4K. :) I see VIOFO have released a new FW for the A229 Pro. I will flash that and see if the blue tint and other issues clear up.
We tested the android app today for the NEW 4K dash camera and it tested well and they fixed what we wanted fixed. We hope to be telling people about it soon.
@iveSolutionsI flashed the new FW for the A229 Pro and the image quality is much, much better. Looks like VIOFO have produced a better FW than the previous 5 that I had tried. I look forward to seeing more info about the NEW 4K dash cam.
Awesome comparison video! Thanks for sharing 🙂 After shopping around, I was thinking of getting the Vantrue N4 Pro, but when I saw the price, I was like WOAH! My budget was around $150. So, I did more shopping around and I just picked up a brand NEW VIOFO A229 Pro 2 Channel Dash Cam on eBay for $149 and after coupons, I paid $138 for it!!! :-) I'm so glad I found such a great deal for a supposedly great dashcam! The seller listed it without the VIOFO name, but while reading the description of the product, it was the VIOFO A229 Pro 2 Channel Dashcam (front and rear camera). I was wondering if you had the CPL lens on the A229 in this comparison test? If so, do you think it would make a difference if you removed it for nighttime driving? I was planning on removing the CPL lens (that comes with it) when it got dark outside. Just wondering :-) I also did some research about hardwiring it to my 2016 Dodge RAM Rebel Pickup truck, but after more research, I remembered that my fuse box is under the hood, and I could not run the wiring thru the firewall between the engine compartment and the cab! So, I found a Vantrue OBD Hardwire kit to take advantage of the Park Feature. My OBD connection is under my steering wheel in the 2016 RAM 1500 truck. I emailed VIOFO's support center to see if they will be coming out with an OBD Hardwire Kit for those that cannot use the fuse box. Awaiting their response. :-)
Sounds like you scored a good deal. We don’t use the cpl filter for our videos. We strongly do not reccomend using a vantrue obd2 cable as they do not work properly. We made a video showing how to make your own with a viofo hk4 and an iroad obd2 cable
Thanks for the response :-) Can I use any OBD2 cable that uses pins 4, 5 and 16 with a switch or should I use the IROAD one? What is special about the IROAD one?@@SafeDriveSolutions
The problem is vantrue usb c is a different pinout so it does not work. Had a client say it worked once or twice then stopped working. We are familiar with iroad and thinkware obd 2 cable. Either of them should work fine. But you have to build them
Are you sure you have a A229 Pro 2 channel for that price and not the old A229? The price it's almost unbelievable for one channel also. Can you leave a link?
@dadi5530 - yes! I received it a few days ago and installed it without the hardware kit!which I am waiting for. Got that for $13.00 on eBay. The camera is the A229 Pro 2 channel, with front and rear camera. It also came with a CPL lens :-) It works GREAT. Brand new wrapped I original box.
Thank you very much, according to the videos, the differences in images are not much, I may know that the N4 is a little slower but in parking the Viofo A229 is much faster and you have to take that into account.
Thanks SDS and good luck. You share what is likely the most objective dashcam evaluations on YT, in a professional presentation. Excellent work!
Trying to have blackvue dr970x plus vs viofo a229 pro and thinkware u3000 for next week
Thanks! I'm still liking my Viofo A229 Pro.
Great to hear.

well it does happen.
That N4 is more impressive than I would of expected.
The front camera does well. We have had it on the channel a few times
That new 4k cam which we both know the model looks promising! Looking forward to the review.
As per usual another job superbly done. thanks Ben! Looking forward to the reveal of this new 4K dash cam!

@@SafeDriveSolutions Interesting, thanks for that Ben.
Once we have final products we will release. Hopefully that is soon. 😎
Thank you from Bharath ( India)❤❤❤
Thanks! my A229 Pro 2ch
I would love a license plate comparison?
Nice work Ben.
Thanks!
You can freeze the image to see if we can see the licence plates. N4 than viofo a229...
Yes you can. Future videos coming up we will be doing some license plate reading. So much video editing :) 😀
I think the new 4k was the best until the night time driving. Then the n4 took charge. BUT, if the A139 Pro was part of this test, I think it would have taken charge in all aspects 😉
Funny thing is n4 pro may have been brighter. But pay attention to the details. 😎 i have A 139 pro video footage as well and it did great as well.
Nice videos, would be good with some example of license plate reading as with youtube compression is not exactly easy to see which from this 4 is the best on this aspect.
We got it coming

New 4k, does it have cloud and desktop viewing? iPhone app? Takes forever till they come out with it looks like.

Some are too bright and some are too dark.
Awesome

The New 4K has the best image overall, it seems to me. I have the A229 Pro and overall, not impressed with it.
try and update first firmware was not so great. newer ones have been good
@@SafeDriveSolutions Ask if you were to buy which of the two would you buy the N4 A229
@@TheWandyrichiez I would buy the Viofo A229 Pro
