I've had this model (maybe the v2 version) for 3 years, 2 years in the Vegas summer heat and no issues whatsoever
IMO VIOFO is one of the best dash cams for the price, updates and features.

Not sure on your situation but I would suggest the capacitor version over the battery type.
Any high endurance card is fine. Don't overpay for super fast speeds just make sure it's high endurance.


The main problem with most dashcams is that you don't get parked protection unless you buy additional cables and gmhard wire which requires access to fuse panel and to know which fuses are switched which ones are not. Most new car brands may not have switched up fronts so if you wire to constant always on, then you also need low voltage cut off and the list goes on and on.They need to make better packages with these features built in.

I've had this exact model for 3 years now. If it died today, I would buy an even nicer version from the same brand tomorrow; no complaints here.

No wifi function on this cam, right? Can't connect to it through Viofo app?

I have one of these and I like it.

Check the manufacturers site too. They had a big black friday sale last year when I bought mine. It was a bit cheaper than amazon, but it took almost a month to get it shipped from China.

At least I figured I had a good chance of getting the latest hardware revision. These get quietly "updated" a lot.

Basically you're getting the best sensor for the $ unless you want to spend >$300, and even then you can't read license plates in the dark. So this is the one to get if you're not spending a ridiculous amount for a dashcam.

Quote from 3Necromancer :
I use Mobius maxi 4k capacitor version.
Its much smaller too.
Eletoponline365 on ebay is the official store.

No GPS.


For card I use samsung Evo 512GB since at Max bitrate the camera writes 70MB/s .

The Samsung pro 512 is ~ $32 now
How do you mount the Mobius maxi for dash cam? This thing looks like a mini surveillance cam. BTW, how long have you owned the Mobius maxi? Used to own less known chinese brand (BlueSkySea) and they just dissapear after a year or two. Probably to start fresh with another name before the bad reviews or warranty claims staring to pile up .

Quote from bluekiwi :
This brand uses a capacitor, have been using it for many years in vegas heat (110 + F) with no issues



Battery + hot climate = battery swelling
Viofo uses a capacitor which means no issues with extreme heat climates
Yes only buy dashcam with capacitor, not internal battery

My viofo a119 v2, had several years, now have black x boxes on screen
Sd card in, buttons not responsive
Sd card out, now buttons working
- Default settings, no fix
- Will not take firmware update
Not sure I will buy again

Edit:
Omg, it's fixed
Not sure what fixed though
Remove card
Reboot
Set Default settings, it reboots
Issue persist
Played around with settings
- speed unit, mph
- set date time
- beep sound, startup only
- car number, put a character, but set back to blank
No more black x
Restart with sd card, no more black x, buttons working

I have had mine since like 2015 and after 7-8 years was stuck on the splash screen. I hooked it up to my pc and did a factory fw upgrade then bang it's alive again!!

I have 3 of these viofos for 3 years in Vegas heat still going strong. But it's been the same price for those years wish they would lower it or put their recent cams up for sale at this price by now

I've owned this camera for nearly two years and like it. I may buy another one.

But I've had poor experience with VIOFO's harwire kit. I've gone through two of them, and both of them died within a few months. Multiple reviews give similar stories.

I used to buy AUKEY ones before they got kicked off Amazon for being too good at competing - they had basically the exact same thing as the A119, specifically the STARVIS sensors which are key, the DR02D (dual) went on sale once for like $50, regularly was below $100. The single front camera was always around $90 and on sale for less than 50... those were the days. Their customer service was great too - if it died in the heat, which earlier models they did (same model number but this was like 6 years ago), they had a 2 year warranty and they would send me a full new dual kit after I explained how it died. And pretty much all cameras were dying then and had not warranties...

I'm pretty sure they sold their dashcams division and products off to one of these other brands because they don't sell dashcams anymore even on their own site. So unfortunate since they were cheaper and better than the other brands, really demonstrates how much money they're raking in on these too... hopefully VIOFO is good quality, have to buy one because my 4 year old Aukey has a weird focusing issue where it is blurry beyond ten feet, the lens must have shifted or something.

Probably going with VIOFO since the vantrue thread appeared to have a lot of shilling, so it's hard to tell if anything there is real. I bought both to compare though, returns open until Jan 31.


Btw anyone done their own side by side of the STARVIS vs STARVIS 2 sensors? I bought the newer one to try out, but not sure how it will be.

Sounds like with all the issues their cameras have they went out of business

Getting too good at gaming the system (ie. manipulating reviews). I personally been approached before. There's a whole network of Chinese brands/products buying 5 stars reviews. China is smart, but very dishonest.

<blockquote>GannMan<p>Sounds like with all the issues their cameras have they went out of business</p></blockquote><p> </p>

Chill out VIOFO shill, they don't sell anymore. You guys got 'em!

Their cameras had LESS issues than every other brand because they backed their cameras with a real warranty. So no, that's not why.

And this other db who thinks AUKEY "manipulated" reviews - yet you said yourself they OFFERED to give you a discount for a review. Yeah like every company at the time. They didn't offer FREE stuff like many others still do. Asking customers to leave legit reviews is better than the overwhelming fake reviews and now countless fake COMPANIES (which didn't even exist back then). Amazon shut down specifically a small handful of companies that had their prices too low for quality stuff, or maybe they tried to push back on Amazon's cut? Because Amazon left countless companies that BUY fake bot reviews alone. If they actually banned companies for the reasons they claimed the site would have half as many sellers and wouldn't be rampant with untrustworthy products and reviews.

So take that "they solicited reviews" BS and swallow it.

And if you think I promote AUKEY now, I don't, have no idea if they are good anymore because I haven't bought anything there since the dashcams.
