Vantrue E1 Pro 4K Mini
Ultra-compact 4K front dash cam with STARVIS 2 + PlatePix HDR night vision, built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi and GPS, a small 1.54in screen and voice control.
Quick verdict
The discreet premium pick — hides behind the mirror yet shoots genuine 4K with plate-readable night footage. Great 'you won't even notice it's there' angle.
Who it's for
Drivers who want maximum stealth without giving up 4K, and lease/company-car owners who dislike bulky mounts.

What to know before you buy
