Have had front/rear VIOFO A129 PRO 4y+ in my Tundra, have other newer and older V’s in our other vehicles, all still running. Go to dashcamtalk “Best Cams of 2025”
Viofo A129 duo, it's an old model had it about 4/5 years but still works. Just got a front only A129 for my s2000 as well I've never had any issues with them.
It depends on how much you want to have recorded around you, and how much you're wiling to spend. I have a Nofio A129 4K dashcam and it's fantastic. I don't have it hardwired, I just plug it in when I'm driving and unplug it when I park so it doesn't drain my battery ('01 Silverado's have their 12V sockets always powered) Just starting out, wanting to get a good cam but not spend too much, I'd recommend a 4K Viofio camera that's just forward-facing. If you're paranoid about someone rear-ending you, then get a forward and backward facing camera kit. Only reason I say 4K is so you have a much better chance of being able to make out someone's license plate in the footage if a hit and run happens.
I have the Thinkware U3000 2 channel. It fits my needs but I miss the screen my viofo a129 pro had. The rear camera on the Thinkware fits under my rear sunshade which is why I went with this one.
1) Viofo A129 Pro 2) 70mai A800 SE 3) Vantrue N4 Pro 4) Qubo Hero Pro I have these 4 in my cars. My favorite app to use is Qubo, it’s very user friendly and it’s a breeze to set up and get it running. My favorite image quality is Vantrue, it’s pristine and read things super clear, day and night. My best VFM has to be 70mai tho because the Vantrue is nice but pricey and 70mai does 90% of the stuff for a fraction of the cost. Hope this helps ☺️ Edit: I would also suggest getting front and back. It’s more peace of mind. You’ll have more evidence and more angles covered.
I’ve had the VIOFO a129 pro in my truck for over 3 years and the a229 pro 3 channel in my Prius almost 2 years. From all my research the a229 is the best price to picture quality you can get. I’ve never had an issue with license plates being unreadable. I’ve got both hardwired in so they record even when the cars off. Phone app works good enough to pull footage and show cops on the scene of an accident.
I’ve had my VIOFO a129 pro on my truck that’s parked outside 24/7 for almost 3 years, no issues with that one. I’ve never had either the a129 or a229 have issues with the heat.
