VIOFO - A119 V2

I've used the A119v2 and now have the A229... The newer ones have more sensitive sensors for more clarity and better images in low light / at night.

My first A119 v2 died in under a month. Warrantied replacement seems to be working well. It will randomly protect a recording or take a photo when in use. I’m thinking it’s misinterpreted voice commands from the radio or occasionally when scraping the windshield of ice.

Yes I’ve had one since 2018. A VIOFO A119 V2 which I hardwired myself w/o parking mode. Last year I upgraded to a VIOFO A229 Pro 2CH which I got a shop to do. Started doing it from my interest in tech but came really handy when I got into a collision on the highway. Unfortunately this is a lesson most people learn the hard way as they don’t think they need one until it’s too late.

I know, I just found it comical... Some of my best dash cam videos come from my old 1080p dash cam from 2016... Viofo a119 v2 [sample video](https://youtu.be/zopX39FKBew) possibly mildly NSFW.

I didn't know Viofo were recommended on here. I compared samples of video quality from a comparison site somewhere online years ago. I chose Viofo, and that's what's been running faultlessly on our family's cars for years. Two V2 and one V3. So I recommend Viofo too!

I’ve had that one in my truck for a few years and it’s worked great. Although I think I have the v2.

I have a VIOFO A119 Mini 2 that looks at me accusingly as I walk past every day because it's still in the box and hasn't been installed. Just haven't gotten to it. But the VIOFO A119 V3 and V2 that I have in other cars are very good. You could put a LiFePO4 battery between the car and the dashcam. The Lithium battery will recharge while the car is on, and while it is off power the dashcam.

Got into dashcam with the g1w whatever sometime before 2017z after 2017 or so I’ve been using VIOFO with no issues. VIOFO a119v2, VIOFO mini (in use), and VIOFO dual cams on two other cars.

Go to YouTube and find Project Farm's tests of multiple dashcams and you'll see Viofo did VERY well on clarity and overall performances. I got a Viofo 119 R2 and it was excellent.

the viofo a119 is a good bang for the buck one, there are better ones, but the quality increases don't quite match the price increases

I've had the v2 for two years now in Edmonton (got it when I moved here and some crazy grandma tried to ram into me for properly zipper merging). Haven't had an issue in the winter. The cold is fine, I think the heat affects it more because when I drove in the summer last year when it was really hot it was beeping at me, which sounded like error alarms. But it kept recording and the footages were fine...
