SnooPandas4020 0.1I prefer the latest VIOFO dash cams. And if the latest model is outside your budget look at the 2k or 1080p versions.
drtoucan 0.1I like that clean look of that dashcam. I have a 2020 and I use a Viofo with a rear camera. Cables hidden under the headliner.
1sntJxyy 0.1I 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!
Absolute-Melt 0.1Same here, exact same model been going strong for 6 summers now.
aiojav 0.1Been using the viofo a129 for the past 5 years and still going well. Got the package one with front and rear cam included. It can also either be hard wired (with instructions) but I just plugged it in my auxiliary port cause I cant be bothered. Just tidied up the wirings and made sure its well tucked in the headboard as well as the pillars for a clean look. One important thing to consider as well is getting a good memory card. Make sure to get at least a high endurance/class 10 and ensure to refresh it every quarter or so.
akrisd0 0.1I've had a Viofo A129 (I think) front and back for almost 4 years going now. It's been through brutal West coast summers and icy Midwest winters. Still going strong.
an1uk 0.1Experience with various dashcams and upgrading the battery in my car to the largest AGM type that will fit in the battery tray. (096 70ah). My car was vandalised twice and both times the dashcam, a Viofo A129, had stopped recording in under 12 hours. Replaced it with a Thinkware U3000 and now get a few days.
Armortec900 0.1I use Viofo A129 on my cars. It’s top-rated for a reason - good price, 4K video recording, wifi connectivity, capacitor-powered (instead of batteries that bloat and degrade in heat), front and rear cameras. Newest model is now the A329.
b88b15 0.1I got the viofo a129, and it won't accept power from the usb-c. It beeps for 5 minutes, then shuts off. Is the vs1 lower power?
bfume 0.1Seconding this exact model. It’s the one I have too.
