Vantrue N2 Pro Review (2027)
In-depth research review of the Vantrue N2 Pro: dual front and cabin recording, infrared cabin night vision, and parking mode for rideshare drivers.
Vantrue N2 Pro
A dual front and cabin camera with infrared cabin night vision, built for rideshare and crew vehicles.
Our verdict
The N2 Pro is the rideshare camera that defined its niche: a front channel up to 1440P and a cabin channel with infrared LEDs that keep recording after dark, when rideshare risk peaks. It has no rear road camera and the platform is older, capping cards at 256GB, but for drivers whose incidents happen inside the car as often as outside, it remains the direct answer.
What we like
- 1440P front-only or dual 1080P front plus cabin recording
- Infrared cabin LEDs record usable cabin footage in darkness
- Parking mode with motion detection and G-sensor incident saving
- Optional GPS mount logs speed and location
What to watch out for
- No rear-facing road camera
- Older platform tops out at 256GB cards
- Infrared cabin video is monochrome at night
What owners report: Vantrue N2 Pro
Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.
Most praised
- Infrared cabin LEDs record clear monochrome cabin footage on completely dark fares
- Drivers can run 1440P front only or dual 1080P when cabin coverage matters
- Motion detection parking mode plus G sensor saving suits working vehicles left on streets
Common complaints
- The second camera faces the cabin, so there is no rear road view
- Night cabin video is black and white only, which surprises some buyers
- The older platform caps cards at 256GB, less than newer rivals
Who it is for
Rideshare, taxi, and crew-truck drivers who need cabin evidence day and night.
Front and cabin recording
Run solo, the front camera records 1440P; engage both channels and it records 1080P ahead and 1080P in the cabin simultaneously. That flexibility lets the same unit serve a private car by day and a rideshare shift by night.
Infrared cabin night vision
Four infrared LEDs beside the cabin lens switch on in darkness, producing monochrome cabin footage that ordinary cabin cameras, which rely on streetlight spill, cannot match. For fare disputes and safety incidents at night, this is the feature the whole product is bought for.
Parking, GPS, and limits
Motion-detection parking mode watches the cabin and the road ahead while parked, and the optional GPS mount adds speed and location logs. The limits are real: no rear channel, a 256GB card ceiling, and a design generation behind current STARVIS 2 models for front night quality.

Questions, answered
Does the N2 Pro record the road behind the car?
No. Its second camera faces the cabin. For rear road coverage, choose a front plus rear system such as the Vantrue N4 or VIOFO A229 Plus.
Is the infrared cabin video in color?
No. Infrared night footage is monochrome, which is normal for IR illumination; it trades color for visibility in a dark cabin.
