Vantrue Dash Cams in Australia

Shop Vantrue dash cams in Australia. Vantrue's strength is channel count: it builds more 3-channel and 4-channel cameras than most brands, which is why it turns up in rideshare cars, family cars and work vehicles that need the cabin or a second rear view recorded. We are an authorised Australian stockist, so every camera here is Australian stock with an 18-month warranty behind it.

New to the naming? Vantrue runs four main families. Element (E) is the compact line, Sonnet (S) is front and rear, Nexus (N) is multi-channel, and E360 is the 360-degree line. Alongside them sit the Falcon F1 for motorbikes and the Pilot 2 thermal system. Our guide, Which Vantrue Dash Cam Should You Buy in Australia?, compares every model we stock and explains the naming in plain English.

The Vantrue range at a glance

Channel, resolution and sensor figures are Vantrue's own published specifications as recorded in our product data, checked 11 September 2026. They are manufacturer claims. Where a cell reads "not specified", no sensor part number is recorded for that model and we have not substituted one. We have not run controlled side-by-side testing of these cameras and we have not published our own plate-readability or night-performance measurements. Position in the range is our own read of where each model sits, not a Vantrue classification. Every Vantrue camera we sell carries an 18-month warranty, with no product registration required.

Two things worth knowing before you choose

Sensors are not uniform across the range. Most current Vantrue cameras use a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, but not all of them do. The E2 uses the older STARVIS IMX335, Vantrue names a Sony STARVIS sensor on the E2 Pro without giving a part number, and no sensor is specified for the E1 Lite. If low-light performance is the deciding factor, that distinction matters more than the resolution on the box.

The 360-degree models are not all one unit. The E360 covers the road and the cabin from a single body on the windscreen. The E360 ACE and E360 Plus add a separate rear camera, so they are a three-channel install with a cable to run, not a one-unit fit.

Which Vantrue dash cam is right for you?

• Front only. The E1 Lite for something small and straightforward, or the E1 Pro if you want 4K in the same compact body.
• Front and rear. The S1 Pro to start, the E2 Pro for 4K up front, or the S1 Pro Max for 4K at both ends.
• Rideshare. The N2X if you only need the road and the cabin, or the N4 Pro if you want the rear as well.
• Utes, vans and 4WDs. The N4 Pro S, whose IP67 rear camera can mount outside the vehicle, or the N4S for the same idea with 2.7K up front.
• Maximum coverage. The N5 or N5S record four channels at once, including a second cabin view for the back seat.
• Fewest cameras on the glass. The E360 covers road and cabin from one unit.
• Motorbikes. The F1 records 4K front and 1080p rear from IP67 cameras, with GPS built in.
• Seeing in the dark. The Pilot 2 adds a thermal camera to three recording channels, or the thermal-only Pilot 2 gives you heat vision on its own.

Vantrue dash cam FAQs

Is Vantrue a good dashcam brand?
Vantrue's clearest strength is multi-channel recording, and its current cameras mostly use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors. We sell the brand, so read that as retailer advice rather than an independent verdict. If your priority is a single front camera rather than three or four channels, other brands in our range are worth comparing before you commit.

Is Vantrue a Chinese company?
Vantrue cameras are manufactured in China. For an Australian buyer the more useful question is usually where the warranty sits and who handles a claim. The cameras we sell are Australian stock, carry an 18-month warranty, and claims come back through us rather than going offshore.

Does Vantrue require a subscription?
No. Every Vantrue camera we stock records to a microSD card, and you view or download footage over Wi-Fi in the Vantrue app or by reading the card on a computer. There is no subscription to record, store or retrieve your own footage.

Does Vantrue automatically delete recordings?
Yes, by design. Vantrue cameras loop-record, so once the card fills, the oldest unlocked clip is overwritten by the newest. Files locked by the G-sensor during an impact, or locked manually, are protected from that cycle. If you need to keep a clip, copy it off the card, because a locked file still occupies space until you clear it.

Do Vantrue dash cams come with an Australian warranty?
Yes. Every Vantrue camera we sell carries an 18-month warranty and we handle claims locally. Keep your order confirmation, and if something goes wrong, call us on 1800 CAM GUY (1800 226 489) or email gday@dashcamguys.com.au.

Can I install a Vantrue dash cam myself?
Most drivers can fit the camera and the 12V adaptor themselves. A three or four-channel install is more work, because there are more cables to hide. Parking mode needs constant power from a hardwire kit. We do not install cameras ourselves, but we keep a directory of independent installers if you would rather not do it.
