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.

It's true that with all products there will most likely be a few bad/defective ones, this is unavoidable, so changing brands or devices may not sheild you from this.
That being said, the only reason I haven't bought a new one, is that I have no need for a third system - unless I gift or sell existing ones (I really want the new sensor, heh).
To add some more context, was in an accident where airbags etc deployed, and the cam captured everything.
So, I'd suggest mounting it away from the path of potential airbag deployment and the fumes/smoke that may emit from them, it will blur your lens.

Other issue with dash cams, especially cheaper ones is that while they may advertise the most desired sensor, the processor is usually unable to keep up with processing the information, especially when using very high resolution such as 4K resulting in heat and poor image quality despite 4K resolution. A 720 or 1080 camera with high shutter speed and good processor will provide you with crisper images than a 4K camera - ever wonder why GoPros are so crisp, even the older lower resolution ones and why they cost so much more?
Additionally, in most cases YouTube is not an authoritative source for any information except mis information (I did not see the linked video above, so this comment is not directed at that but generally speaking).
However, as I said previously, it's a free country so go for whatever floats your boat

If the VIOFO A229 Pro can do this feature as well then I'd probably opt for the donger adapter instead of the HW4 hardware kit from VIOFO.
