They often send me emails requesting positive review (and some product list optimization tricks) in exchange for free product so I won't trust any reviews on this product
I have owned this camera for several years. Despite not 4K it still offers a pretty good video. Agree that the mount is trash and needs to me sticky rather than suction. I did end up replacing my mount. Combine this with the OBD hardware for 24 hour motion its a nice setup.
I do like the Vantrue products and have 3 each different models in my other vehicles. Great customer service and wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
I actually prefer suction cups. I bought one with the glue mount and the heat would melt the bond. It wouldn't stay up. At least with the suction cup I just simply remount it.
Thanks OP
I had one of these for over a year. My truck started refusing to crank very intermittently. I started online searches and found similar issues. Spent a lot of money replacing things, Took it to 4 different places including 2 dealers and they could not figure out the issue. Finally, I realized it was this camera casing my problems. Still kicking myself today for not realizing that sooner.

Was your car not driven often? None of these cameras should kill a battery if you drive your car every day for 10+ miles.
Or wire it to only on when key on.

Nope. It'll still fall, it's just a poorly designed suction cup. I also bought the GPS suction mount for this model and had the same problem with the replacement mount. I ended up reaching out to Vantrue support and they sent me another GPS mount that uses double sided sticky tape and that hasn't fallen in over a year.
I have this camera and it's pretty trash, the date always resets back to 2018 for some weird reason, the mount also always falls off and now i think the battery is bad as it doesn't even turn on anymore even thou its hardwired. I have to manually turn it on then it turns back off after 10 seconds even though it shows it's charging when it's turned on.
I purchased a 3-way version of the Vantrue Dashcam, but I only used it for three years because the front viewing camera sensor failed, resulting in a completely black recording. It was an over $200 investment back in the day, which I thought would be a long-term investment; however, it lasted for a short time compared to the price I paid for it.

It does fall but it sort of lasts for 1-2 months even in high heat.
Thanks OP
