"Ease of use is great. ... Its got plenty of straight forward options that you just set up and forget. ... I have mine setup to turn on when my car turns on, and off when the car is off. ... I just forget its there until I press the button to save the clip."
"Mache install was super simple. Plastic around the mirror pops off and you unplug mirror and replace with the dongar adapter cable and reinstall and done"
"It was the easiest thing. Just used a spoon to lift up some interior trim and the included sticky pads. YouTube it, Viofo also has some videos but others have made vehicle specific videos."

"Viofo always alerts when the recording is not working for whatever reason, FitcamX stays silent so you can easily miss recording on accident."
"Just had my accident and it saved my but"
"The camera has two recording sections. One is the section thats always recording everything, and it will fill up, and then start replacing the oldest clips with the newest. ... The other section is clips you have saved. If you press the save button, that clip is put into a separate folder and not at risk to be deleted. ... If you press the button close to where two clips overlap, it actually saves both, which has been awesome."

"it can't be beaten in the Australian heat here"
"I've had Viofo 119 v3 for 3 years now and it's the only cam that has been rock solid for me. ... capacitor - 3 years and still running strong (temp anything between -20 to plus 35C)"

"ran circles around them all ... the V3 beat most of the competition!"
"The quality is 2560x1440, meaning you can still zoom in a fair amount and still have 1080p quality. ... Overall quality of picture will be determined by lighting, as with any camera, but I have not had any issues with it."
"60 fps - people seem to only pay attention to resolution while it is fps that will allow you to capture blur-free footage while moving"

"I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died."
"the unit doesn't begin to record when the vehicle is started ... the red REC led light blinks rapidly ... Turning it off/on again seems to rectify it."
"No dashcam is "very" reliable, which is why I run 2. 2 out the front and 2 out the back."

"My only con is this is only forward facing."
Any dashcam from Viofo. Choose the model that fit your needs. I use A129 Pro at the front, powered by OBD port, so it gets power 24/7 for parking mode. Warn you this may stress the 12V battery. For the back I have a A119 V3 (from my old car) connected to the cigarette port. So no parking mode as the port cuts power when the car is locked. Not the most discreet dashcams but very good build quality and video quality for the price. Not just my own words.

r/Polestar • Best dash cams? ->VIOFO A119 v3. Get a good microsd card and the wire kit and your done.
r/dashcams • Looking for The Best Dash Cam – Recommendations? ->I have a VIOFO a119 v3 with a super capacitor that has lasted three years in Phoenix
r/Dashcam • What are the best dashcams with heat resistance sufficient for summers with 115°F max temps? ->It was the a119v3 and it is still in use by a guy I gave it to. And the video quality looks better to me than the much newer Rove I'm using now.
r/Dashcam • What are the best dashcams with heat resistance sufficient for summers with 115°F max temps? ->If you just want a good front dashcam, the Viofo A119 v3 will fit the bill. I put the A329 in because I wanted the better image quality and rear camera. Was worth the extra shekels. Buy once, cry once, if you can budget a bit more. Whatever you get, make sure you get a high or max endurance microSD card.
r/Crosstrek • Best crosstrek dash cam? ->I use Viofo 119 mini for the front camera and the 119 v3 for the rear camera. The whole setting costs less that $200 total when on sale. I prefer the smaller one up front so that it occupies less of my windshield. I bough a long usb C cable and run it from the middle console, under the floor mats, to the rear window. It sucks that the new Highlander doesn't have a 12v or an usb port in the trunk area.
r/ToyotaHighlander • New Highlander, dash cam? ->Viofio A119 V3, going on 3 years with the same camera/256GB Samsung High Endurance Micro SD card I bought it with. That's means being stuck to my windshield through over 8 Midwestern US seasons driving 30k per year. Only issues are occasionally needing to switch back to the proper date and turning off the overly sensitive "crash sensor" that flips out when going over small bumps.
r/wrx_vb • Which DashCam you guys using? ->Raise the budget to 130 and get a VIOFO a119v3. Getting the clear license plate is the key and Viofo is pretty good to capture the night vision.
r/COROLLA • Dash Cam Recommendations ->How much are you wanting to spend? I just got a GX460 and went with a Viofo A119v3. The reason I picked it is that I felt it was the best performance per dollar. I got it just around boxing week so I paid less than $90. I also got a FitDVR to make the install easy and clean. The FitDVR takes power from your rearview and gives you a usb port and a 12v barrel jack. Planning on getting a radar detector now just to make use of the 12v jack.
r/Lexus • Aftermarket Dash Cam ->I have the A119 V3 and I've had so many problems with it. The GPS unit that mounts to the window has a shoddy terminal connection so it drops out constantly - this also means I have to replug the cable whenever I take the dashcam down. The parking mode files corrupt randomly and I'm using an expensive SanDisk SD card and checked against multiple cards. I wish someone had warned me that Viofo isn't all that polished a brand. The video is crisper than other dash cams but so many other problems...
r/australia • Best dashcam available in AU that isn't super expensive ->I have 3 of them, 4 VIOFO cams total, had them for at least 3 years each and have had zero issues, in hot S FL.
r/Dashcam • VIOFO Dash Cam A119 V3 a good first dashcam? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
