"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"i have had the BlackVue DR970x Plus which proved bulletproof during the hottest Summer on record last year. my credit cards and ID’s all had to be replaced because they melted and warped, but the BlackVue keeps running without issues."
"my VIOFO A119 V3 has been going strong for the past 4+ years with no issues in the heat."

"the starvis 2 sensor this has is great. I have both the older and newer viofo units, and the starvis 2 definitely makes a difference compared to the previous gen."
"The picture quality day or night is fantastic."
"Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. ... I downloaded the event clip from the mobile app and was able to show the video to the police on the spot. ... The other driver got a ticket for using the phone."

"I hardwired it and hid the wires behind the paneling on my car so it wasn’t noticeable and I had front and rear cameras."
"the wedge shaped 129 is almost invisible when installed well."
"Fits perfectly up behind the rearview mirror so it's not always in your face."

"Coincidentally, a few months later, someone tried that, they jumped out of our lane behind me, to try to get in front me, and cut me off going into a construction zone... And slammed into me. ... He tried to claim I sped up to cut him off. ... I showed the dual camera video to both insurance companies, and they the both decided it was entirely his fault. ... Dual cams are awesome."

"A129 is plenty good enough ... even a fuzzy picture with front and rear coverage is enough to prove fault."

"The app for accessing and retrieving the videos off the device remotely is a pile of crap!"
"The app. It's a complete pain in the ass to view any footage ... it won't update the firmware because the dashcam connects to my phone via wifi and if it's connected via wifi, there's not any actual Internet access from the cellular signal so it can never update 🤣 what a joke."
"I could never get into the app to control settings, so I bought the remote. ... It would show up in Bluetooth and connect for no longer than a minute or 2, but the app wouldn’t populate any models to connect with. ... Then other times in Bluetooth the speaker would show up along with a ‘vizioapp’ connection. Same issue, would connect and disconnect and never show the model in the app."

"With Nest WiFi I’d hardly ever get more than 100mbps on a single device regardless of how close I was to the puck."
"And it only has 2.4GHz WiFi which makes downloading footage on the fly painfully slow."
"At the edge of our home, I used to barely get 10-30 Mbps (and with dropouts) with 4 units"
I 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!
r/rav4club • Is the integrated dashcam worth it? ->I love this brand. I have yet to see anyone else with such good quality. I have the 129, 229 and the recent 329 version in my truck. No issues at all. Money well spent.
r/YEGDashCam • Looking for Dash Cam recommendations. ->Yes, but I’d recommend a dashcam with higher resolution than 1080p. Preferably 2.5K* or 4K. I like Viofo.
r/Camry • Dash cam ->I installed the VioFo A129 front and rear dash cam system. It was pretty straightforward. Just make sure you have a trim tool from Harbor freight. This video below basically walks you through it step-by-step. I did not hardwire anything into the fuse box. I’m just using the cigarette lighter. https://youtu.be/aLVQEpw8I1E?si=BS6yz4EGqiDhHyP3
r/KiaTelluride • Has anyone installed a front and rear dash cam? Wondering what wiring the rear one will be like and the best way to do that. This is the one I just ordered on Amazon and it was one of their top reviewed. ->I've not got a rear camera, but I'm more than happy with my Viofo A129 Plus. They've sponsored a few YouTube channels, so you can probably get a discount through one of their promo codes.
r/AskUK • What is the best Dashcam for the front and back of your car? ->Yeah they're not cheap, but worth it in my opinion. I think they're also the only brand to use capacitors instead of batteries, which gives me some extra confidence that my car won't randomly catch fire on a hot day.
r/AskUK • What is the best Dashcam for the front and back of your car? ->Same here, exact same model been going strong for 6 summers now.
r/australia • Best dashcam available in AU that isn't super expensive ->Been 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.
r/australia • Best dashcam available in AU that isn't super expensive ->Experience 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.
r/drivingUK • Help!!! My car keeps getting hit no ->My Viofo A129 has handled Florida weather for years.
r/Dashcam • Best dashcam for HOT locations? ->I 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.
r/CarsPH • what are your recommended dash cams??????????????? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
