I have a VIOFO a119 v3 with a super capacitor that has lasted three years in Phoenix
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.
No more than $100 is going to be hard. Bump it up to $150 and you'll have good options. I've been using the VIOFO A119 V3 for almost three years and it's been a solid purchase. It's around $110 but you need to buy an SD card for maybe $20 to $30 dollars. Optional add ons are a polarizer lens to reduce flare and an installation kit if you want to power it with your fuse box instead of with your USB port. Some videos I took with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOf2zGbXrrY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLXfS6yZLco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwFO2hcxYEo
I’m using A119m now, only single channel but works for me. The size is also small enough to mostly hide behind the mirror. The one I got by accident is A119-v3, but despite the name suggests it is gen3 model, it is actually older with old sensors and no phone connection at all.
[Linus did a pretty good video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AnyhHl3_tE&t=783s) on this. I ended up buying a Viofo A119 V3 based on the info in it.
6 years and 4 years in Arizona heat for my A119 V3 and A129 Pro Duo, respectively. Still going strong. OP, [this post convinced me to get a VanTrue S1 Pro](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1luh6dy/vantrue_s1_pro_max_is_the_probably_the_nicest_cam/), which is a dual 4k system. Only had it for about 4 months but I will say the app is way better than any other dashcam I’ve used.
Viofo makes very good dash-cams available on Amzn, they’re highly ranked in reviews, not cheap units. I have three A229 2K dual cameras and A129 Pro 4K dual on a total of 4 cars. The A129 pro got stolen by tow truck driver when it was headed to the mechanic. If you’re DIY installing the rear camera can take a little bit of work threading the long cable, but lots of YouTube video step by steps. Viofo also has front-only A119 V3 cameras, those are easy to install you simply push the cable into the headliner and down the A pillar, around the back of the glove box to your 12V power source. There’s also a short power cable you can buy that tape power from the power home-link rear view mirror.
