What?

Resolution has nothing to do with overheating. If the device is 4k capable, it means the processor has 4k encoding/decoding capability. This isn't any more taxing than a processor from eight years back doing 1080p.

If the device has poor thermal efficiency, the worst that will happen is it shuts off. This is a standard feature among processors, dating back to the late 90s. But the unit itself doesn't "die".

The only components to be worried about in a hot car would be the battery (hence why most people recommend going with a supercapacitor over a battery) and the LCD screen. I personally don't think these having an LCD screen adds any value anyway.
Purpose of dashcam is to always be recording when you're driving or while in parking mode. Having the dashcam shut down when it should be recording is very bad. This A129 Pro model is infamous for shutting down when it gets too hot for whatever reason. There are various threads on dashcamtalk on this issue. Here's one of them.

I would personally avoid this Viofo 4k model due to its reliability issues and look instead at a 2k model (A119 V3, A129 Plus), which does not have the same level of reported reliability issues as the A129 Pro.
Add the rear camera for $50 and it's still $10 cheaper than prime day.

I would assume the gps would help you if someone makes a wrong claim about your speed in an incident (could be the police or an individual). That's assuming you're driving safely though, otherwise it's a detriment to you.


From research, it appears the best model is a119 v3. If you missed this deal get that one since it is apparently better at handling reflective surfaces than the a129

SOB, I missed it. All my vehicles have Viofo A119 & A129 variants. They survived under scorching southern CA suns for many seasons. And they produce superb daytime and good night time videos. I am very happy with them.
