Rear dashcam quality with factory window tint?

[clavicus]

I think I've narrowed down by dashcam choice to a few 4K front units:

Viofo A129 Pro (this has an unfortunate top mini-usb cord placement for the rear camera that forces you to place it slightly lower than you might want)
Vantrue X4S
Vantrue N4

I'm curious if anyone has a rear dashcam currently and if you can comment on the day and night quality through the rear factory tint. Is it acceptable, and is it worth the extra ~$50 or so for the rear camera channel?

EDIT: I don't expect to get license plates from the rear cam in any case at 1080p, and lack of front license plates in my state lol. But just to make sure the quality is decent for clearly seeing what's happening.

$50 is cheap insurance.

Found a video of a guy with 5% tint which is about as strong as it could be lol. I think our Maverick tint is somewhere between 20-30%




Front-0% vs 50% tint

I have Rexing's in my cars and the rear view is fine in the Mav.

I've used this one in my previous car and ordered another set for the maverick. Tint wasn't an issue on previous car and working off memory I don't think it'll be an issue at all for the maverick. (Haven't set up the rear camera because been too lazy to run the wires.)

Thanks I’m pretty set on that one as well, I have an older model of the same type in my old car that I plan to leave in there and sell with it.

Does the phone app work well for you, or at all?

I ordered a Vantrue N4 yesterday. I'll tell you how it is, but I probably wont install it for weeks (Its freak'n cold man).

You can always adjust the exposure for the cameras... At least on the Viofo. Currently using the Viofo A139 in the Ford Maverick and Viofo T130 in the VW ID.4

I suppose you could mount the viofo upside down in the rear and flip the video should you ever need it. I'm leaning towards the n4 myself although I've had viofo in the past without issue.
