While recording 4 video channels is cool, note that in addition to the front and rear facing cameras are two more cabin-facing cameras. The one on the front unit faces backwards at the first row of seats, and the one on the rear unit faces forwards toward the front of the car.
So the video you'll get from the cabin cameras will be mostly of what's inside your car. People, headrests, pillars, etc will block the cameras' view of what's going on to the side of your car. Also, the difference in lighting outside versus inside (especially at night) will make it harder to get good video of what's going on outside.
I have some dashcams with cabin-facing cameras. If you're seeking footage of the inside of the cabin, they do that well. But if you're hoping to pick up good footage of outside on the sides of the car, you'll be disappointed.

I emailed them and asked if they could send me a replacement cord, slightly over a year into owning it. and they did. Good company

Pros: They publish firmware updates on their site, though not in the easiest to find manner. Cables are not proprietary connectors.
Cons: Their firmware is a bit whack. For example, the video quality in higher resolution settings is worse than the video quality in low resolution settings. They haven't got the encoder settings/data rates correct.
Generally though our N3s with rear camera have been reliable in California heat.
