Quote from Phenomesaurus :
Recently bought both the A229 (front & rear cam) and A119 mini for a family member per request and set it up for them. I have three of the A119 (regular, not mini) myself that I have used in 3 cars for years and they're great units. Helping the fam get these set up let me get hands on with these current models.


Size between the A229 and A119 mini should not be an overlooked detail. It may seem obvious because one is "mini" but it was a big difference. The 229 was a nice size - I never felt like it was too big or anything and I really liked it. When I went to install the 119 mini right after I actually had trouble with the set up and I struggled to read the screen. Yes, my aging eyes are a problem but I had no trouble with the 229 at all. I actually had to use my phone camera and enlarge the viewfinder to view the mini and navigate the menu. That being said, the mini is still solid and the smaller size may actually be exactly what people want.


Something else no one has endorsed yet is what you mentioned about buying a 2 channel unit (front and rear cam combined) vs buying 2 cameras. I am actually going with 2 cameras for my next set up. The two channel system has the benefit of a smaller camera in the rear (no screen), one memory card, joint video feed, and a single interface to set up options & date/time, etc.


But having two cameras is just an easier set up for me. Sure, I have to get an extra memory card and set the options up/make adjustments on a second screen but I set up the front unit very easily (tucked under the edge of the headliner, run along under the A-pillar cover and under the dash to the fuse box or the power port in the center console) and for the rear I kind of do the same and plug it into the power port in the back (SUV). I also feel a little better about having two recordings in the off chance one failed to capture. I was actually in an accident where I was T-boned and my car ended up it's side and I had this 2 camera set up already (put my older dash cam in the rear when I upgraded to a better one in the front). Both cams caught the accident, thankfully. Also, the guy who hit me claimed he had a green light but my recording (along with an eye witness) cleared that up. Get a dash cam, people.


So that's just my two cents. Currently driving a three row SUV and would absolutely opt for a two camera set up rather than trying to feed a cable attached to the front unit down the headliner and over 3 pillars to the back.
Aside from the display, can you comment on the differences between the regular A119 and the A119 mini? I think I could manage working with the smaller display on the mini, but mainly curious if the recording quality is the same.

How are you all getting these installed? I'd love to have these but the installation just keeps me from buying these. They say easy install but it doesn't look like it's remotely easy. Appreciate any tips for making the install smoother.
Any place that installs remote starters, car alarms or stereos should also install dashcams. I purchased the A229 Plus and the fuse box tap kit with the intention of installing it myself but decided I'd save myself the headache and time in the cold (no garage) and pay someone to do it. Cost me $175 for the installation of front and rear camera.

Same I just got the A229 on the weekend. Do they charge fee if mine already opened?
Same situation here. Ordered 3 days before this sale, using the coupon. I still started a return and I'm going to drop off at a ups store for a refund, no fee. It's dumb, they should just give the price difference back and save the hassle. Instead, I ordered another one just to return the same item, still in the box even

Went to my local car audio guy. $100 and a few hours later and it works and it's a nice clean install. Worth every penny.

Tempted as this brand is always highly recommended but wary of buying any dashcam since summer where I live is often months of 110+ F days and I worry that the unit or memory card will get fried
The advantage of the Viofo is that it uses a capacitor, not a battery, for power. Capacitors do much better in heat and cold than batteries. Don't cheap out on the SD card. Get one of the recommended cards and you should be fine. I would avoid the Viofo branded cards though as they don't have as good of a reputation as others.

It depends on how much you want to hide the cables and whether you want to hardwire it or not for parking mode.

If you don't care about any of that, it's super easy because you just need to plug it into your 12V outlet and mount the camera(s). Hardwiring will req. extra work because you'll need a hardwire kit with fuses and then do all the wiring. Making the cables look neat takes as much work as you're willing

Got me these a while back, using only as scare crow, was never able to connect to phone.

Get action 4, use for all kinds of recording.

Not happy with this company. Seems like they do Sony collaboration, but can't figure out their wifi interface.

Does the A119 mini use the same mount as the A119? Had a A119 installed and the mounting bracket is still on the windshield...

Quote from TakeMeToYourDealer :
Had purchased one last week with that peomo code to get $25 off plus another 5% on the Amazon deals, but this is a better deal. For the 119 it was a 17.99 difference. I wish Amazon would just refund the difference on price drops vs making a purchase/return wasteful effort to recover our losses.
Talk to their customer service. They once did this for me (since it's from their own site)

I have one of these. If you're thinking about getting a dashcam. Do not hesitate on this. Just buy it. Only thing they could improve is the mobile app sucks and the video transfer is slow. But otherwise easily the best for the price.
