"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."

I have a Viofo Dual cam; the current version would be A129 Pro Duo. I've had it for several years prior to owning my Mav. It's been very reliable and I like that I could add a CPL filter. Mine is hardwired in using #3 (Auto-dimming Interior mirror) for ignition on and #5 (Lock. Unlock) for constant power.
Can vouch for Viofo, I've had A129 Pro Duo for a few years and it's not let me down, great image quality, cost something like $300 or so, hardwired it myself, all pretty simple. The only thing that failed on it was the 3M adhesive on a particularly hot day this year.
VIOFO A129 Pro dual with circular polarizer and hard wire kit. Took about two hours to do a very clean install. Get a Samsung Pro Endurance SD card too.
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.
A129 pro duo i think. Works great.
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.
I have a VIOFO A129 Pro Duo and after 3 years, it’s held up to the heat of Midwest summers and the frigid cold. That being said, the camera does get quite hot during the summer daytimes, but I also use parking mode so that doesn’t help.
I’ve had my VIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4k for about 5-6 years now. Still going strong. Low profile, great quality.
I have the Viofo A129 Pro Duo. I’ve used it between 2 different cars, and it’s sufficient. If your budget is a little bigger, I recently bought my mom the Viofo A229 Pro Dual. The video quality seems much sharper and has voice commands if necessary like telling it to save the video or take a picture and more but it’s a little bigger
Which one? I’ve had the A119 V3 and the A129 Pro duo in the hot Arizona climate for the last 7 years and they still work great.
