Vantrue Element 2 Dual Dashcam.

 

Vantrue's Element 2 DashCam Provides Premium Coverage.

 Sadly we are seeing an increase in traffic incidents as roads around the world get more congested, and people get more distracted than in years gone by. People are still using their mobile phones while driving, and from some Police reports I have read, drivers have been watching films, youtube and Zoom calling, so even the increase in penalty points and fines is no deterrent to morons. Another distraction is the increase in vehicles of touchscreens which control everything from music to time settings. 

The issues mentioned mean protecting yourself in the unfortunate event of an accident is extremely important. I am discussing protection from insurance claims for alleged blame or Police 

charges. The answer is a Dash Cam, and the Element 2 from Vantrue has you covered front and back, with two cameras recording simultaneously. 

The Element 2 from Vantrue is a good-looking system, built well, and all components look quality. The system is packed with technology and simple to operate. It is easy to install and is powered from the 12v adapter into the socket in your vehicle.                                                                                                                        

You get Ultra 2.5K & Dual WDR & Night Visio, meaning the VANTRUE E2 dash cam features brilliant day and night vision. Front and rear cameras are equipped with 2592*1944P, clearer than 1440P. The cameras have WDR technology making the night picture quality more precise and brilliant. The Ultra 2.5K resolution with 160°lens provides rich road details in 4 lanes. The 2.45" IPS display offers a perfect 360-degree display. 

To simplify life, you can use voice commands to activate WiFi. Say, Turn on WiFi, and the system starts and automatically syncs video data to the Vantrue App that supports video downloading at 6MB/S. Files can be shared and edited while no cellular data is needed. Live time viewing of the current recording shows on your mobile phone, with a 10m maximum sensing distance. The Element 2 dash camera voice control system lets you turn on WiFi, video lock and ten valuable functions. 

Vantrue also provides the Element 2 dashcam with wireless remote control, making it easier to lock the emergency video and turn the microphone on/off. Dual GPS records travel time, route and speed, improving positioning accuracy. The E2 comes with a GPS magnetic mount, enabling quick locating. The current location can be viewed both on your mobile and computer. 

Element 2 dual dashcam features rare buffered parking monitoring technology, which records 4s before, during, and 30s after motion, better protecting the integrity of the event and the owner's interests. The low light night vision mode allows E2 to record during parking. Low frame rate and low bit rate modes are also available, paired with the VANTRUE Hardwire Kit(ASIN B092M439MV) to power the dashcam for 24 hours. 

The dashcam G-sensor can be triggered during an accident; the current video is automatically locked and saved to an emergency file, so there is no worry over traffic disputes. The loop recording setting, when the SD card is full, makes the oldest video automatically overwritten with the newest video to maintain the continuous operation of the machine. TS storage technology of the E2 dual dash camera perfectly saves the last video before a sudden power failure. 

The supercapacitors mean the E2 dash camera withstands extreme temperatures of -20°C to 70°C, facilitating the dashcam to maintain up to two months of system time after a power failure. 

VANTRUE offers a warranty of up to 18 months, an invoice download function and a technical team with a higher skill level, so your questions and concerns can be answered within 12-24 hours.

Competition comes from Thinkware with its many dashcam systems. https://thinkwaredashcam.eu/ and probably the largest supplier of Dash Cams, Nextbase has many systems. https://nextbase.co.uk/dash-cams/
