Which is better for recording license plates?

The NT301. Its 2K resolution and 138° field of view resolve plate detail better than a 1080p camera. The rear-view kit is built for watching traffic live, not for sharp evidence.

Can I see behind me while riding with the NT301?

No. The NT301 records only and has no screen or live feed. If real-time rear vision is your goal, the 4.3-inch monitor kit is the one to get.

Does the rear-view camera kit work as a tail light?

No. It is a camera and monitor only. The NT301 has built-in red LEDs at 80 lumens with a 2-second brake alert, so it covers visibility as well as recording.

How long does the NT301 battery last?

Up to 130 hours, per RAVEMEN, from its 3200mAh battery. Runtime drops with heavy recording use. The unbranded kit does not state a runtime.

Is the NT301 worth it over the cheaper kit?

If you want one weather-resistant unit that records in 2K and lights you up, yes. If you mainly want to see traffic behind you live, the monitor kit does that job the NT301 cannot.

Is the NT301 waterproof?

It is rated IPX6, so it handles heavy rain spray. The unbranded kit does not state a water-resistance rating, so treat wet-weather use as unproven.

NT301 Smart Bike Tail Light with 2K Camera vs 1080P Bicycle Rear View Camera with 4.3Inch Monitor,Night Vision Bicycle Bike Mirror for E-Bike, Mountain and Road Bikes

Buy the RAVEMEN NT301 if you want one compact unit that records 2K video and works as a tail light, with no separate screen to mount. Buy the 1080P Rear View Camera kit if you want a live rear view on a 4.3-inch monitor while you ride, especially on an e-bike. The NT301 records sharper footage and runs far longer; the unbranded kit gives you eyes behind you in real time.
