Most people have heard the saying If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Well these days it is more like if someone pulls out in front of you when you are driving and you don’t have a dashcam, is it their fault or yours? In situations where two drivers are blaming each other, there is a good chance you will end up taking some of the fault. It’s even worse when it comes to people trying insurance fraud. Having footage can be important and having multiple angles is even better which is why some of today's dashcams have 2, 3, or even 4 cameras. I’ve been testing out the Nextus 5 from Vantrue which has 4 cameras and spoiler, just a day into my testing we hit a deer. In the long drawn-out process of getting things repaired, we ended up still having damage after the repair and the footage from the Nexus 5 helped prove that the deer did hit that area. So today I’m going to dive into the Nexus 5’s features, talk about the installation, and of course, show you how it performed. So let’s check it out!
