Our take on the Vantrue Element 3 (E3) Compact 3-Channel Dash Cam for Front, Inside and Rear Recording

The Vantrue Element 3 is a three-channel dash cam that records the road ahead at 2.7K, the cabin at 1080p and the rear at 1080p at the same time. Sony STARVIS sensors and Super Night Vision help it read plates and faces in low light, and voice commands let you start or stop recording without reaching for the camera. It suits rideshare and taxi drivers, families and anyone who wants full coverage without a two-camera setup. Against single-channel rivals it covers more angles, but the cabin and rear footage is only Full HD and the rear camera needs its cable run to the back of the car.

About the Vantrue Element 3 (E3) Compact 3-Channel Dash Cam for Front, Inside and Rear Recording

The Vantrue Element 3 (E3) is a compact 3-channel dash cam that records the front, the cabin and the rear of a vehicle at the same time. The front camera records at 1944p (2.7K). The cabin and rear cameras record at 1080p (Full HD). All three channels record at 30 FPS.

The front camera uses a Sony STARVIS IMX335 5M image sensor and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) to balance light and shadow areas. The rear camera uses HDR multi-exposure technology to keep detail in high-contrast scenes, including the license plates of vehicles behind with bright headlights. The cabin camera is surrounded by four infrared LED lights that switch on automatically in low light for night vision footage.

The front camera has a 160° view, the interior camera 165° and the rear camera 160°. The dash cam responds to voice commands and has Super Night Vision and Collision Detection. It connects over 5GHz Wi-Fi to the Vantrue app, which is used to monitor the vehicle, review trips and share footage.

Questions and answers

Does the Element 3 record all three cameras at once?
Yes. It records front, cabin and rear simultaneously, with the front at 2.7K and the other two at 1080p.
Do I need a separate kit for parking mode?
Yes. Parking mode with collision detection needs a hardwire kit so the camera keeps power while the car is off.
What is in the box?
The camera, the cabin lens built in, the rear camera and its cable, a mount, a car charger and the basic cabling.
How does it compare with the Element 2?
The Element 3 adds a third channel and higher front resolution, so it covers the cabin and rear where the earlier model covered fewer angles.
Can I control it by voice?
Yes. Voice commands let you start and stop recording and take a photo without touching the camera.
What memory card does it take?
It uses a microSD card; pick a high-endurance card rated for continuous recording, since three channels write a lot of data.
