Just a heads up. Best Buy will install this (front + back cameras) for $99. The dash cam can be purchased anywhere, it doesn't have to be from Best Buy.

Great camera. Put one in my wife's car.

Got a new model for my car, DroneXC. Dash cam that live streams the video to my cell phone via 5G. So if the alarm goes off, it alerts me and I can pull up live video. The video is also automatically stored in the cloud. So if the entire car is stolen or they steal the dash cam, you'll still have the footage. Tracks the car via GPS too.

Yes, it's more expensive, but dope af.

Ordered the A119. Lowest price ever. Thanks iconian! Just in time as a friend just bought a new car. I've been using 1080P dash cams from Aukey and Yi in the $40-$50 range purchased in 2019 and they've worked flawlessly. Police officer ruled in my favor and wrote up the report favorably for a rear-end collision. I didn't even have a rear dash cam module, but he noticed the impact in the front-facing model I had. In another car, the police officer saw footage of two cars displaying road rage. One of the cars side-swiped my car and the police immediately ruled in my favor and wrote up reckless driving tickets for the two idiots. Every once in a while, check the camera to see that it's working, and reformat the MicroSD card once a month, and you'll be good to go. The dash cam market has caught on its popularity and they have jacked up their prices. A $40-$50 model will work just as well as a $200 model. You're paying for bells and whistles for the $200+ models in my humble opinion. The only reason why I spent more for the A119 is my friend wanted the name brand at the lowest price.

Duplicate and Viofo doesn't recommend the high endurance SanDisk cards.

Quick reminder: Be sure to update the firmware on these before deploying them.

In some cases, there's massive improvements in image quality and features added, not to mention bug fixes.

And not to point fingers, but it's hard to be sympathetic toward issues like the fear mongering in that YouTube video when there's a strong possibility they didn't keep up with updates.

Quote from PocketsThick :
Having had one dash cam in my car that had a "super capacitor" in it for "durability" but yet ultimately failed; I'm hesitant to keep my dash cam on the windshield during the summer.

Anyone have a good mount that is easy to release/install the dash cam?

The high cabin heat must be killing dash cams because I'm not the only one who has had this issue. I have security cameras installed outside that have never failed. The difference is that they are not experiencing 120+ degrees like the dash cams will.
I live in Florida and this is the reason I've been waiting to get one. I've known a few people who had them and they didn't hold up to the summer heat.

I have the older A129 Duo Pro (non STARVIS model). Bought earlier this year. Is there any benefit of having a 3 channel dash cam (front back and interior)? I don't driver for Uber but thinking it might benefit in proving I am not distracted (phone) if the other party insurance claimed I was on my phone while driving.

Confirmed $12 coupon code VIOFOBFCM is working for the Pro model
Nice find and thanks for sharing! It's $12 off each unit, in case you're purchasing multiples. Knocked off $24 for my 2x order.

Quote from starlights_ :
Only if people would use it with only SD card as backup. Does the camera require setting up through app or having an account with Viofo? My question is only for encouraging others to think about privacy concerns in their daily usage - its a free country so people can make their own decisions.
This is an excessive amount of unfounded xenophobia for one to have.

If you don't want to deal with Chinese companies, you're free to spend triple the amount for the exact same hardware sold under a more American sounding brand.

Personally, I'd be more worried about the AI systems that are constantly recording you as you shop at Home Depot, Target, or Walmart. Heck, even Costco now knows exactly when you enter and leave the store.

Any benefit of the newest A329 over the A229 Pro that anyone can list in performance apart from the huge price difference?

I use 2 of the minis, 1 front and back. Avoids the need to run wire back there and gives you 2k in the rear. Just need to have a power source back there
I was thinking about doing the same but the parking mode will not work unless you are connected directly to the battery, right?

If you care about 4k/2k resolution and 30fps/60fps mode

A229 pro Video resolution mode
front camera / rear camera
2160P 30fps /1440P 30fps
1440P 30fps /1440P 30fps
1080P 30fps / 1080P 30fps

A229 plus Video mode
front camera / rear camera
1440P 60fps (no HDR) / 1440P 30fps
1440P 30fps (HDR) / 1440P 30fps
1080P 30fps / 1080P 30fps

With above data from viofo.com, a229 pro front camera doesn't support 60fps in any resolution. You want 4k 60fps buy A329.
On my research, people can set schedule for a229 plus front camera in 1440p 60fps w/o HDR during daytime and 1440P 30fps w HDR on night time

Edit: Typo
What do you recommend more in a dash cam, true 4K quality or 60fps? I'm looking for clarity in license plates while driving. Thanks in advance!
