Picked for one job

The Vantrue N4 Pro is the rideshare pick with infrared

Top pick

Vantrue Nexus 4 Pro

Vantrue Nexus 4 Pro

N4 Pro records native 4K at the front, adds a separate rear camera and uses infrared for the passenger area after dark. On REDTIGER F17 Elite, the rear view is a sharper 2.5K, and the package includes a card and hardwire kit, though the cabin view stays in color. BlackVue DR770X Box Pro is the discreet, tamper-resistant alternative.

Why it suits this job
