"the 8:7 aspect ratio and 5.3k. That gives me much more freedom when reframing shots."
"Nice crisp clear 4K especially if you keep your streams and upload them to YT later."
"You're not going to get much better quality than BlackVue 700 models."

"No issues, it's so small it's out of the way of the eyesight."
"it fits great behind the rear view mirror. ... from the drivers seat you cant even tell its there and its well below the Eyesight cameras. ... Highly recommend"
"it ’s so discrete no screen in your face ... I went for the discreteness of the camera"

"i have had the BlackVue DR970x Plus which proved bulletproof during the hottest Summer on record last year. my credit cards and ID’s all had to be replaced because they melted and warped, but the BlackVue keeps running without issues."
"I live in Mexico in a place where temps can get up to 45°C (113°F) and by installing it on the black part of the windshield the camera doesn't get very hot."
"been going strong for 6 years now in extreme heat and cold."

I suggest to get any Viofo besides the A229 (audio quality can turn loud at certain times), Either go with the A119 or A129, best models or either a Garmin or Thinkware, you can find some of them for under $200 or $100 and they're very easy to install!
r/rav4club • Is the integrated dashcam worth it? ->Yes, but I’d recommend a dashcam with higher resolution than 1080p. Preferably 2.5K* or 4K. I like Viofo.
r/Camry • Dash cam ->i really really like the viofo. i bought the a119 on sale on amazon 2 years ago and it's been recording consistently ever since because it is motion/bump activated when i'm not driving. i hardwired it into my car. cannot recommend it enough.
r/Edmonton • Dash cam suggestions for Edmontons cold weather ->There is a neat community and [recommendations thread on /r/dashcams](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1iube1b/dashcam_recommendations_on_reddit/). Helped me get my A119 which was around $90 when I got it on sale.
r/askcarguys • Dashcam recommendations? ->No. Get a viofo a119 dash cam and then buy this adapter [here on amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT37DNWV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) Lmk if you have more questions.
r/rav4club • Is the integrated dashcam worth it? ->Same here
r/phoenix • Dash cam recommendations that hold up to the heat? ->I'm not a c43 owner but I use an A119 I believe. It's super solid. A229 is an even better option.
r/AMG • C43 Coupe dashcam? ->I got this one for all my vehicles. I like it. [Rexing dash cam](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJN33W3S?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1) I previously had a Viofo A119. It died just out of warranty, but it had problems before that. The customer support said to upgrade the firmware. That fixed it several times (PITA) before warranty end, but did not fix it after warranty end. It was a POS.
r/JeepGladiator • Best Dash Cams? ->This is the one I use, as well. It's been doing the job, but there have been occasions where the unit doesn't begin to record when the vehicle is started. Thankfully, you can see this happening because the red REC led light blinks rapidly. Turning it off/on again seems to rectify it. It hasn't happened for sometime, but it was a concern.
r/hondaridgeline • Updated list of the best dash cams ->I love my VIOFO A119. Just got the v2 for my wife's car. They're pretty affordable and easy to setup/use
r/civic • Dash cam for 2026? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
