Had this installed since November, just got into an accident on February. The dash cam recorded everything up the point of impact then it shut off even though it was plugged in still, I Was able to retrieve the footage in 4k video.

My last dash cam was a Vantrue with wifi..I found the wifi to be slow and troublesome to use.

I just picked up 2 Aukey DR02 cams for $26 each from Walmart. They've sold out.

I then got this $12 sd card to usb c adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...asin_title [amazon.com]

It works well and is very fast to view videos on my phone.
My Aukey dashcam died in under a year (did not turn on, did not charge), and Aukey did not honor any sort of warranty, referring back to Amazon. Aukey was removed from Amazon, and Amazon was no help, either. Take that for what it's worth, not a great company. Not a bad risk for $26, but be prepared to replace them

Quote from LibertyPrime :
One of the best budget dashcams available, but what Linus Tech Tips [youtube.com] found in their investigation is that all the market available dashcams use similar processing and CMOs sensors. This explains why they all have similar image quality. Although he did find that the A119 V3 has a slight advantage in quality, but not good enough for capturing license plates during motion.

My experience using the A119S, A119 V2, and now the V3 is that all of these will eventually die. Especially if you live in an environment that is pushing above +100 F. The internal RTC which enables the dashcam to remember the date, time and settings will eventually die. Replacing the RTC is difficult and requires you to open the enclosure, then desolder the RTC battery mount and replace it with a suitable alternative.

Also, don't bother with their customer support. Unless you are okay with shipping the device back and forth to China.

Definitely recommend getting these on sale.
I actually bought this and the "budget" recommendation from Linus. DO NOT BOTHER with the budget rec for $70-80. Just get the VIOFO V3 A119 on sale for $80 and call it a day.
The screen makes a huge, huge difference when positioning the camera. And it comes with all the accessories you need!

How does this model compare to the Rexing V1GW-4K Ultra HD Car Dash Cam w/ Built-in GPS Logger and Wi-Fi on sale for $89 on their website?

Dude, it's a 2K camera. The SD card makes no difference. Would you complain that pictures taken on black and white film are not color? LMAO

And, by the way, you need an Endurance card. Using one made for storage and not 24/7 recording / re-recording will burn it up very quickly.
I use my phone more than my car. It works fine there but why not in dashcam. Explain

A dashcam continually records. Old recordings are replaced constantly. The card gets overwritten thousands of times. In a phone, it's static storage. An endurance card is meant for security systems and can take that abuse. Standard cards cannot. They will quickly wear out and die.

I am aware it is 2k camera. At their max non-interpolated resolution, you get 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratios. At these ratios, you also record useless sky or car hood. The 4k resolution offers ultra wide ratio. It can see better both sides of your car.

You need fast sdcard (v3 rating) to support 4k recording.

By the way, I have been using non-endurance card without problems for years. Just make sure it's brand name (Samsung, Sandisk) and legit.

Quote from phil0sophic :
My .2 I've been a dashcam user for a long time and would suggest getting one with rear view. For the extra bucks having the idiot that rear ends you (twice for me) on tape texting is priceless for the cops and the lawsuit as well, because your cars value is a whole lot less than the cost of replacing it.

Totally agree.

Also a lot of the 2ch dashcams have rear cam with only 1080p and that's why I plan to use this one as rear and a113pro in front.

Good value, but wouldn't touch it because it lacks some important feature. If you're going to get a dash cam, make sure it has a rear camera as well. At least it has a GPS logger. That's also very important if you ever have to go to court.

I agree. I'm ready to replace my warranty-replaced Aukey DR02d (no longer recommended after being booted from Amazon) with a Viofo 4K A129 Pro Duo I got on a very good deal last year.

My cars have been rear-ended 4 times in my life; the last time the drunk driver totaled the car and then fled. I've never had a front-end collision. Although I've captured an accident and provided footage to the victim once. The combination of the front and rear videos proved that the offender did not even slow down when approaching the red light she blasted through.
