But I'm only using a 128GB and successfully formatting it in the dashcam itself -- as opposed to formatting in a computer as the outdated manual suggests. You need to update your firmware to support that. Plus, you can't rely on cheapo SD cards, they suggest the orange Samsung U3 EVO cards.

Waiting for my N@ pro to arrive. (excited! And really looking forward to the peiceof mind. Just got a 2 day vacation for "seeming impaired)

Any one know how long the 256 GB card will record? I'm guessing a lilover 2 days worth of Uber'n.

You are correct regarding formatting the sd card from the dashcam itself. I do use an evo myself. Dude 128 GB is already very big. I actually just got my 256 gb last week and its insane how much it can store.

Amazon Prime has the 400 GB microSD now on Sale:

Don't know if the Vantrue will accept it, but the returns on Amazon are easy.
There's a good chance you may have problems with those cards: that model is a U1 class 10, only rated at a speed of 10MB/s.

Vantrue recommends the orange Samsung EVO U3 class 10 cards, which are rated at a speed of up to 100MB/s. With the N2 and N2 Pro models, SD card speed is important because that dashcam has 2 camera lenses, and needs to record video on the card twice as much or twice as fast as a single-lens dashcam. Don't take a chance.

No it won't! On my N2 Pro, a 128GB card fills up in about 10 hours-- around a day's worth of driving. So 256GB would give you about 2 days of work.

HOWEVER... when it comes to rideshare, you can never have enough storage. I with I could afford one 128GB card per driving day, for at least 2 weeks. Far too many paxholes file bogus complaints, days after their ride.
Some drivers take off all the interior footage each day and store it on a hard drive for 30 days . Anytime I think a rider was a little off I'll pull that footage and store it on my tablet . I only use a 64gb card which is enough for about one day of driving then my Galaxy tab s3 has a 256gb card . I keep it in my glove box and will load anything funny, shady or concerning then delete it after about a month

I bought a 3tb "personal cloud" and move the videos over there. I prune as needed or when I remember to do so. If anything of note occurs I will label that particular video or videos and keep those a bit longer. A few I've held on to for over a year. But mostly everything just gets deleted at the random intervals mentioned above.

I just moved from a Falcon F360 to the Vantrue N2 Pro with a 128gb card. With the Falcon I just rotated through two 32gb cards and then moved them to the personal cloud at the end of a shift or two.

I use a 128 Meg card and get about 12 hours of video. The videos are saved in 20 min blocks and each block is about 1.75 gig's for each view so its about 3.5 gig's every 20 min. I store all of my interior video for 30 day's and as I add new I delete the old. The only time I have needed to use it was adisputer with Uber over a fare. It was a crazy rider where I picked up 4 guys from home and took them to a bar than one of them had to return home to get his ID than drive right back to the same bar. Uber only payed me for the first trip. Saying I should have the rider update the address in the app. Of course Isaid they did and Uber said they didn't have a record of it. after going back and forth in email I told them the app was update for each leg of the trip and I had video to prove it. The next email was Uber saying I would be paid.

By my anecdotal measurements, a maximum-size 256 GB Micro SDHC card lasts for 10 hours, 57 minutes, 48 seconds of driving when running in dual mode 1920x1080 front & rear before it starts overwriting one’s oldest video. This was calculated using real video captured from the camera in combination day and night driving, however I’d expect that results will vary slightly depending on the complexity of the video captured.

mine only lasts a few hours at 1080p
