I have a viofo A119s. Works mostly good, sometimes have an issue where it doesn't turn on right away, but turning it off and on again always fixes it.

I've had the A119S and A129 Duo Plus both are rock solid.

I have had a Viofo A119S in our 2017 Santa Fe since shortly after we got it It is front only. It is powered from an adapter connected to the mirror. Sorry, the company that made the adapter is no longer selling them on Amazon, but there may be others now. There is no GPS or Parking mode. I have always used 128GB SD cards, some designed / warranted for continuous recording devices. I'm looking at a Viofo A329S dual (front & rear) for our 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid. I picked it because of image quality (license plates), history with Viofo, and the possibility to store video on an external SSD. The high resolution video really consumes storage. Viofo says a 512GB SD card will store 6 days worth of video when recording 3 hours a day (18 hours). I don't think that is a lot and am looking for longer recording times - trips rather than commuting. The camera hasn't been purchased yet as I'm also looking for cargo tray, jack and tool kit. The spare arrived yesterday, hoist before the holidays. I am capable of installing it myself, and have watched installation videos, but am looking for someone in our area to install it. Someone that sees them frequently, not once every 9 years. Rear camera - for the Viofo, a wire needs to be rum from the front camera to the rear camera as they both record on the SD card (or SSD). If you decide to go with the Fitcamx, you may want to consider a single camera for the rear. SD cards - Don't go cheap. Look for SD cards that are warranted for continuous recording devices. Check r/dashcams for recommendations too.

I prefer the latest VIOFO dash cams. And if the latest model is outside your budget look at the 2k or 1080p versions.

I've got an a119 and can confirm, the brand is pretty damn good, though I got mine for $140. Spent a bit extra to hardwire it and got the optional polarized filter, so all in $180. I can clearly read license plates 50-70ft out, and if it's not 1I1I1I1 it can distinguish enough to make out much farther.

Yeah, he clearly said that the Rove was great for the money. He can't focus only on the Rove either. I got the A119 for my car as I've had cheaper units and they all suck, however, the Rove would be good enough as a rear camera for me if I needed one.
