"For what it ’s worth i have ZERO car experience and I got the viofo front and rear cam and used the donggar adapter to power it off the rain sensor behind the rear view mirror. ... I watched maybe 2 tutorials, went slow, and was able to get everything in place in well under an hour with no issues. ... Highly recommend, super easy to do."
"If ease of recording is important to you, I’d recommend finding the version of the A129 Pro Duo that comes with the optional Bluetooth Dash Button. ... It’s a little 1” x 1” black button that you can stick anywhere that’s easy to reach. One simple click and it saves the footage immediately."
"Comes with 10ft USB cable, easy to self install."

"I have the viofo duo. Would not recommend because mine does overheat. ... I was in an accident end of july 2 years ago and it did not capture it. ... The shock of the crash did trigger the g sensor so i have the footage of my car on its side and the recovery process afterwards, but not the actual wreck itself. ... When its not overheated you have tl remember to reset it for it to start filming again. Very frustrating. ... It works good in the winter months but ive left it unplugged since about march ... All i know is it works fine in the winter but anything over 90 i have to reset it everytime i turn the car on. And it wont turn on and let me reset it until its cooled off ... I pretty much gave up on it after months of it not working right."
"After 6 months of living in Phoenix (very hot summers, like 115 degrees), my A129 Pro Duo died. ... the second died within the next year because of over heating."
"I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died."
