I highly suggest a PRO Endurance SD card for constant re-writing over the Amazon Basics. The Amazon one is good for smartphones and on-off recording, like for a digital camera, not for a dash cam for constant recording. All i can say is rock the card until fails or gives you issues then look into a Pro Endurance card. I have been using Samsung PRO Endurance 128GB in my Viofo with the installation kit to continue recording when the car is shut off and I have not had to replace the card yet in 6 years. I also setup the Vifo in the settings to prompt me to reformat the card every 15 days. That keeps the card fresh from wearing out on the same spot from recording.
Been on the Internet since before eternal September and I think this is the most worthless comment I've ever seen. People in the market for a $200 dashcam are not going to instead buy a whole new car.
I've had this for about a year now. Love it!! Someone in front of me got into an accident and with my footage that I was able to download immediately, sent the driver the clip so that she can provide to their insurance company. She later messaged me that because of the clip, she won the claim.

My A229 front and rear kit has been up for over 2 years now and has survived the perpetual summer that is California without the adhesive coming loose so far. You do eventually have to re-format the SD card as it fills up with false positive saved videos (brake slightly harder on a stop, or hit that speed bump a little too hard, etc) but it has otherwise been working fine. Just make sure the micro SD card you get is a high endurance so that you don't burn through its lifespan too fast.
New driver in the house starting this week. figure this is a good investment regardless.
Is it easy to swap between cars? I'm looking at putting the rear view mirror tether in both vehicles.
I don't think these are made to swap between cars. While easy to remove, it leaves behind a plate which I think is the GPS sensor. Technically, recording still works fine but I don't think two plates were included.

Thank you, will install and use then decide if we want to purchase another or go a tad cheaper in the secondary car. All in we were about 250 for the unit, dongle and sd card.

Wouldn't you just remove the whole thing including the "plate" (mounting plate?) by just unsticking it from the windshield?
Any sort of suction mount available for these? Every time I use an adhesive based mount, it eventually fails, but the glue left behind on the windshield hangs on for dear life and is a pain to clean.

I have this dash cam and I get a message saying the card is slow, anyone know what's up with that??
If you have too many locked videos then you will need to format it and clear the space. I had that happen. I drive in the city with alot of bumps and constant braking causing the fashcam to lock alot of videos. Either or you have a slow sd card. I recommending getting at least a min of 256.

I think he stopped by to flex and he was shot down.

I got the Pro version recently and It acts strangely when it's super hot out. It will randomly shut off, or stay on but not record, the revised settings would auto reset and not change.
I have an old Vuofo A129 Duo that I want to replace. I already have the car set up for hardwire and the long 8M extension cable for connecting the rear camera, but the connectors are USB mini B. Do I need to go out and buy a new fuse box hardwire kit and 8M cord for the USB C and reinstall everything thing, or can I just pop on some mini-B to C adapters?
