Excellent camera, the rear camera has some minor flaws. There is room to grow.

Pros and cons of Vantrue OnDash S1: Pros: -Sleek camera design -LCD and images look clear -Video recording is bright, colorful and clear -Rear camera is very compact. but one small problem. see below. Cons: - Mini USB cable from rear camera to main camera, front camera requirements may need to be redesigned. Makes installation difficult. The angle of the LCD and buttons after installation is a little awkward for my car. Similar brands have more competitive prices. While I love the look and the images this camera captures, there is one issue that I feel needs to be addressed with the rear camera. The 20 foot micro USB to micro USB cable that comes with the package has a 90 degree angle at the attachment points. The position of the cable after it is connected affects the angle at which the camera can record. When the camera lens is aimed in a straight line of sight, the 90 degree micro USB connector is perpendicular to the mount. This makes it awkward and difficult to maintain a straight line of sight. If the micro-USB plug were plugged in parallel to the camera lens, there would be no problems. I'll look for a micro usb micro usb that doesn't connect 90 degrees, that would be another solution. I won't be using the rear camera for now. Overall I like this DVR. If the design flaw is fixed, I would sincerely support this brand. Until then, I can give this dash cam a solid 3.5 stars. *Update 8/20/19* Vantrue has great customer service. When they saw the problem I was having, they contacted me personally and sent me the necessary mini USB cable. I have to say the camera and system is a solid 4 star, but the customer service made it 5 star.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Long lifespan
