Making Your Decision
When to Choose Vantrue E1 Pro
Drivers who want a compact, discreet 4K front camera with voice control and GPS
The Vantrue E1 Pro packs impressive 4K quality into one of the smallest dash cam bodies available. Voice control and GPS are welcome additions at $150. It's front-only, so pair it with a separate rear cam if you need full coverage, but for a single discreet camera, it's excellent.
Strengths
- Compact mini design fits discreetly behind any rearview mirror
- Voice control for hands-free recording management
- STARVIS 2 sensor delivers excellent night footage for its size
- GPS built-in with speed and location stamp on footage
Limitations
- Single-channel front only — no rear camera option
- Small size means no built-in display for playback
- Wi-Fi transfer speeds are slower than 5GHz competitors

The Nextbase Piqo 2K sacrifices resolution for portability and smarts. Its tiny magnetic-mount design is the easiest to install and remove, and the Nextbase app with SOS features is class-leading. If 2K resolution is enough for your needs, the Piqo is the most user-friendly dash cam available.
Strengths
- Smallest dash cam in our roundup — truly pocketable magnetic mount design
- Excellent Nextbase app with emergency SOS and witness report features
- Magnetic mount makes installation and removal effortless
- Built-in Alexa voice assistant for hands-free control
Limitations
- 2K max resolution trails 4K competitors in detail
- Night vision is average — smaller sensor captures less light
- Limited 140° field of view compared to wider competitors
