"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."

"it's honestly 2-3 minutes extra work to connect a second wire, for the likes of a Viofo A139. ... The first connection is always on. The second connection goes to something that only comes down with the ignition. This means the camera can tell when the car is off and change into a lower power (1 frame per second) parking mode."
"Supports parking recording"

Wait you can mod the firmware on Viofos? I never knew this. I have the A129 pro (1440p front 1080p rear)
r/Volvo • I highly recommend the FITCAMX for anyone looking for a dashcam. Very easy installation that looks 100% OEM. Great 4K video quality too. ->Ahh makes sense. I have pretty hot summers where I am. Sometimes 115F in car
r/Volvo • I highly recommend the FITCAMX for anyone looking for a dashcam. Very easy installation that looks 100% OEM. Great 4K video quality too. ->Viofo a139 duo (it’s been replaced by the a139 duo pro )or red tiger f9 these both have no screens on them so they are tiny
r/Dashcam • first dash cam buy recommendation ->Really liking our viofo A139. Really clear image!
r/CarTalkUK • What is the best dashcam to buy? ->I got the VIOFO A139 and video quality at night is incredible. Cannot speak for A229, but the brand itself is legit https://preview.redd.it/4z6m298zxlrd1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=d24cf41f9e3b3f637b3147c64f6e6175f402befd
r/crv • Dashcam and weather mats recommendation for 2025 crv ->I have the Viofo a139. Works well. Has a newer sensor for low light (Sony Starvis 2). There are other manufacturers using this as well. Lots of YouTube videos out there
r/dashcams • dashcam came in clutch ->I have a VIOFO A139 dual channel and I wouldn't go with anything else when my kids start driving.
r/Costco • Is the Type S Dashcam worth the buy? ->I have VIOFO front and rear cam, had it three years without any problems
r/CarTalkUK • Dashcams ->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. The biggest hurdle was getting the wired connection from the front camera to the rear one so you could just skip the rear facing one for even less hassle. Highly recommend, super easy to do.
r/Lexus • Wireless dash cam ->My exact setup as well.
r/radardetectors • Best radar detector with dash cam in 2024? ->I got two Pruveeos 9 years ago. One is still going, but the other died after 6 years. I got a 2 channel Viofo for my wife's car. The rear camera died at 13 months which stopped the front from recording. I figured out that the front worked fine if I unplugged the rear. They wanted me to pay $40 for a replacement rear cam though it was still in warranty. I just tossed it and switched to Garmin. I'm not saying to buy Pruveeo the video quality sucks, but they were only $37.
r/Dashcam • Overwhelmed with dashcam options. What should I get? ->I have the next step up from the one they tested and the Viofo is great, the 2 channel was easy to run, and I used a dongar pro, so power was super easy. https://preview.redd.it/fy856ri9mope1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=5afc3127ef5ff91ab75ebfce0f5e4b6e6f553df4
r/ToyotaTacoma • for those of you who have dashcams, what’s the best one that you’d recommend? ->I would recommend a viofo dashcam, I've out mine to the left side of the mirror and down just far enough to see under the black dot Matrix port. It's got a great view of the road and I can easily reach the incident button if needed. I've got the 2 channel one so the rest camera is in the middle of the back. There are several options from them but anything more than 2K on the front feels excessive.
r/civic • Where should you place the dash cam without blocking the front view? ->I have a 2 channel Viofo and it's really good. Viofo also has pretty regular sales too FYI. The GRC is really easy to run wires to the back and upper windshield with no wires showing too.
r/GRCorolla • Dash cam recommendations ->I use a VIOFO, whatever the newer dual channel cam is. I am going to hard wire it in the near future for parking protection. It hasn’t let me down yet and has really good quality. Just pricey and had an older model fail years ago so not too sure about longevity yet, only had it about a year.
r/ToyotaTacoma • Have any of you purchased the Toyota Integrated Dashcam? Is it good/reliable? I really want a dashcam and I am trying to narrow down which one to get. ->I have the Viofo dual channel. I hardwired it into the fuse panel. Works great so far.
r/Crosstrek • Dashcam? ->I see. I myself have a Uniden R8 and double channel viofo dashcam. I think the uniden is on its 3rd year now and the dashcam I've had for 6 years...only changed the SD card.
r/radardetectors • Best radar detector with dash cam in 2024? ->Screw it looking oe. What you really want is a good camera. Viofo makes some of the better ones WITH a rear camera as well. After doing lots of research, lots of them use garbage cameras but the better ones use Sony. Specifically the Song Starvis. The Starvis 2 just recently came out and viofo made a new one with the 2. Good cam, doesn't look ugly. Supports parking recording and collision detection. [viofo Amazon ](https://a.co/d/izrOa1d)
r/mazda3 • Dash cam for current 3 models ->The best cameras are the Viofos but the Fitcam is the easiest to install cleanly and looks OEM so it really depends on what you're after.
r/Polestar • Dash cam Recommendations ->I've owned several Viofos and I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died. I now have 70mai brand. Have the model A800S
r/Ioniq5 • Recommendations for a dash cam? ->I've ran several viofos with no problems. Currently run a A119 V3. No problem easy install. Been running them for years. Usually if something is wrong, its the sd card.
r/ram_trucks • Any opinions on a good dash cam? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
