Hi all. Can the Vantrue N2 pro use a 128gb card or is 64gb the limit?
You can format on the computer you just have to do it FAT32 but you will need to use a program to format rather than whats available with the computer.im using a samsung evo 128gb (orange card)
for a month now. so far so good.
format in camera and not on the computer
format every week or two
The note that is on page 5 of the N2 Pro manual that says to format a 64GB card on a computer, however this is from before the current firmware version.You should use this Guiformat tool to format it as FAT32 by your Windows computer!
Thanks KD!The note that is on page 5 of the N2 Pro manual that says to format a 64GB card on a computer, however this is from before the current firmware version.
I had already contacted Vantrue's support to verify, and they said there's no longer a need to format on a computer with the current firmware version, and that the dashcam itself allows you to format on its own. I do have the current version, and it's been formatting my 128GB cards with no issues. Just now I also formatted a 64GB card in the dashcam to test, also no issues.
Current firmware version (as of today) for the N2 Pro is here http://www.vantrue.net/Support/detail/id/68.html, and its manual is here http://www.vantrue.net/Support/detail/id/35.html.
Page 18 covers the update, but it doesn't really detail much. The process is easy: download the firmware file A95LYD.bin (latest as of today) from link above, and copy the file to the top folder (root directory) of the SD card. Put the card back in the dashcam and turn it on, it should see the file and update on its own (screen stays blank longer than usual). Once the update is done, go into the menus, then into SYSTEM SETUP, then into SYSTEM INFO, and verify it shows as version VTN2Pro8C.V10 like below. Finally, delete the firmware file from the card so the dashcam won't keep detecting it (or format the card if you don't need its contents).

What trouble are you having with your 128GB card?258 GB Danny could you able to trace your videos. I can't that is recording old videos. I am having trouble with 128 gb.
worked for me too.Just update the firmware in your Vanture N2 Pro via their website and it'll handle up to 256gb just fine.
That's pretty much what I figured it to be, the packaging said 640 minutes video, I don't drive that long, so 1 is perfect. I wish I had gotten the Vantrue earlier, instead I went with a cheaper brand to start with and that piece broke in a month. They still have the stupid thing to fix it. Got the Vantrue a month ago because I got sick of waiting on the repair. If I get it back, I'll ebay the thing lol.128g will give you about 10 hours of recording if you use both cameras....inside and out.
I'll try updating mine again but I think the internal battery is bust on mine. It used to keep resetting to 01/01/2017 and thusly overwriting itself since videos recorded on 01/01/2017 are the "oldest" videos on the damn thing... I finally updated it to the prior most recent update and all it did was change it so it resets to 01/01/2018 now... ?As others have said, 256GB is supported as of the .V21 firmware.
Just an FYI, the .V29 firmware was released today. No capacity increase beyond 256GB, but other changes..

I have mounted my old one direction camera in the rear window facing backwards. I don't save the footage from that one like I do from my main camera, however if something happens I'll have it.Depending on your vehicle type, stick it somewhere in the back to record "traffic issues" behind you.
I did that on the recommendation of a Beverly Hills pax that turned out to be a personal injury lawyer.
Honestly, the thing is garbage. I had to reset it every couple of days. The reason it's sent off for repair is because it stopped resetting. Got stuck on the warning/load screenDepending on your vehicle type, stick it somewhere in the back to record "traffic issues" behind you.
