How Secure is Your Van – Part Three

How Secure is Your Van: Another and effective deterrent are universal dash-cams that not only record whilst you’re driving, but provide all round coverage of your vehicle whilst parked up. Knowing that their face may be recorded should be enough to deter even the most brazen thief but knowing that you’ve got a camera monitoring your vehicle 24/7 is excellent piece of mind. Baring this in mind, we’ve nailed down the two best dash cams for our trade and researched the best home camera recording system – this one can be built up further with additional cameras should you wish to do so. We hope you find the following helpful.



How Secure is Your Van


VANTRUE N4 3 Channel 4K Dash Cam, Front Rear and Interior Coverage


With the ultra-high resolution that comes with 4K, the Vantrue N4 3 provides comprehensive protection, literally providing 24/7 protection for your asset, and its features are astonishing…

(we also list the Vantrue N2 on couriersdepot.com, it has a lower capability – we wanted to bring your attention to the next brand, Wolfbox. A brilliant dash cam that represents excellent value for money. Nonetheless, Vantrue is a top brand, no lessor regardless of model)

  • Automatically starts recording when it detects motion in front of your vehicle or when your vehicle is hit.

  • Provides recording 155°of the front, 160° the rear and 165°of the inside of your vehicle and back simultaneously at 30 frames per second.

  • Dual recording front and rear of your vehicle.

  • For forward recording, 4K provides clear capture of number plates and road signs – enabling potentially vital information to be captured.

  • Infra-red night vision.

  • Built-in microphone and speaker – capable of recording the sound of any impact and playing it back (This function requires additional cabling, please see details below)

  • Variable Sensitivity G-Sensor emergency locks video files following impact, protecting vital evidence.

  • Collision detection auto turn on dash cam to record even it's turned off.

  • Automatic exposure allows any of the cameras to accurately record in dark situations.

  • Continuous Loop overwrite even when the SD card is full – oldest file overwritten.

  • Optional GPS (need to buy separately B089CS7Q4N) to track route, location and speed. Firmware updates for continuous improvements and efficiencies


Vantrue 256GB Memory Card


You need this…this one is 128 GB, but you can have a higher memory one of 256GB if you want, for a tenner more, but it’s very much a personal choice and what you believe is best for you and your own circumstances.


WOLFBOX Dash Cam Front and Rear 4K Full HD Car Dash Camera



Wolfbox is a relatively new company, having been established in 2010, but got going in the market with research and product development, launching not long after and now operating in key markets. Providing excellent products at competitive prices, it was an easy pick for us.


  • The WOLFBOX dash cam front and rear camera houses a 4K front camera and a 1080P rear camera enable to capture the license plates and road signs clearly even at night.

  • Waterproof rear camera.

  • Built-in G-Sensor – when a collision is sensed, G Sensor will start emergency recording, dis-allowing the recording to be recorded over. 24 Hour recording is available with the purchase of the optional hardwire kit – a common feature requirement with these devices..

  • The WOLFBOX dash cam features Sony Starlight Starvis f/1.8 aperture, allowing for super clear images at night, coupled with WDR technology, fine details are captured.

  • 12-Month guarantee, after-sales service team contactable 24/7.

Samsung Evo plus 128GB Micro SD


And you’ll need this too…





Arlo Pro4 Wireless Home CCTV Video Security Camera, 6-Month Battery, Colour Night Vision, 2K, 2 Way Audio, Built-in Siren, No Hub Needed



Whilst it’s excellent to have a form of surveillance system in your vehicle to increase its security whilst away from home, when it’s parked up, increasing that security (and your property at the same time!), the addition of another layer of deterrent will only reduce the chance of its theft even more.


This is an astonishing product (voted best product by PCMag.com), that you can buy on its own, or expand into a more comprehensive protection system with additional products in the Arlo range. With its brilliant white spotlight illuminating your drive, it sends the clearest message out to any would-be thieves that they have been detected.
