"i want the best resolution camera back there, and the dual ones out there, including fitcamx, all have 1080p res. the viofo is 4k ... the last 5 cars have all had front and rear cameras, and at least 3 times we got punted in the rear, not once in the front. one time some dumbass ran in to us at the wendys drive thru. another was when we were stopped at a red lite."
"I’ve got the starvis2 equipped Viofo A139 pro. It’s awesome"
"The quality of the video is top notch with the Starvis 2 sensor even at night."

"Have it hardwired for parking mode, and it's given me no operational issues whatsoever."
"Using a fuse tap kit I hardwired it to a fuse that's only hot when the truck is on, but it has a separate connection that's always hot and provides constant power. So when it senses that the truck is on it records consistently. When it senses that the truck is off it goes into a monitoring mode that will only record when there's motion detected or the gyro is triggered. ... It has a battery monitor that senses the battery's voltage and will disable monitoring mode if the battery voltage gets too low. ... Works perfectly."
"Love my a139 pro with the hardwire parking mode kit"

"place the camera behind the mirror so I can’t see the main body of the camera. ... i almost forget it’s there."
"If you install it right then you can barely see the power wire from the drivers seat. ... the wire is routed under the cover for the rear view mirror mount and under the headliner to the pillar and down to the fuse panel in the drivers foot board. ... With the hardwire kit you just insert two fuses and that’s it."
"that great "low profile" wedge shape for which Viofo is known."

"Was in an accident a couple months ago and had the video footage on my phone before the cops even showed up. ... Saved my ass with the insurance. ... has Wifi to beam video to your phone via their app if you want."

"It’s also a PITA for me to use WiFi because when I’m in the car my phone connects to CarPlay and CarPlay disables WiFi."
"Slow and the app _blows_."
"it’s just clumsy to get connected."

"It also has an IR cut filter (or something similar) so every time a set of bright lights hits it at night, you hear the audible *click* of the IR turning on/off which is annoying."
"Lastly, while the IR coverage is fine, the scope is narrowed so that anything out of the cone/"periscope" of light coverage isn't lit nearly as well. My previous camera (Coxpal), while it had its own issues, did all these things better with its interior camera."
"The quality, even for 1080p, looks subpar to other interior camera combos I've had, and the exposure is just "weird" in that it doesn't exactly flatter anyone sitting in the car."

"My Viofo A139 pro does not work on any of the cars USB-C connections tried many different cables none work ... my phone charged fine from all those USB-C connections with all the tried cables. ... When I measure the power when my phone is connected it can only pull 7 Watt."

Is anyone else bummed that they didn’t offer a 3CH option for the A329? Maybe I’m in the minority of using the A139 Pro 3CH version, but it’s great having that interior wide angle for parking mode and seeing the side windows. The A329 looks amazing, but not sure it’s worth the upgrade for me especially not having the interior camera capability.
r/Dashcam • VIOFO A329 TESTING AND REVIEW ->I researched for months, if you want the newest chip and best picture quality cam it’s the Viofo A139 Pro. If you want a hidden cam get a Fitcamx which is hidden in a factory trim piece, I have this one.
r/AudiS4 • Dash cam recommendations ->Viofo 139 pro. No pointless monitor to add bulk. Ultra slim RF cables that make it easy to run to the back. Parking cam of you want it. The latest Sony sensors. Yes, the software is a bit funky but who needs software on a dashcam.
r/FordBronco • Dash cam recommendations ->i have a viofo a139 pro. it does not have a factory look like the fitcamx. however, i want the best resolution camera back there, and the dual ones out there, including fitcamx, all have 1080p res. the viofo is 4k, and it has a polarizing filter. i just used the acc port in the left side, and kinda stuffed the wire into the trim. i did pull the upper trim piece and used my dremel to remove some trim. the last 5 cars have all had front and rear cameras, and at least 3 times we got punted in the rear, not once in the front. one time some dumbass ran in to us at the wendys drive thru. who does that? another was when we were stopped at a red lite.
r/Ioniq5 • Any solid rear dash cam videos? ->Viofo A139 Pro with front, rear, and interior cams. I also run the hardwire kit and keep my car monitored when it's parked outside my workplace.
r/GR86 • What dash cams does everybody use? ->I got Viofo 139 pro The sony chip in it is really good at night time. The image of plate number and other details are so good.
r/CarsAustralia • What is everyone’s go to Dashcam in 2024 ->I have an A139 pro in my other car, but worry that it will block some view in the ev6 - do you have one mounted without blocking any view?
r/KiaEV6 • Recommendations for Dash Cam ->My Viofo A139 pro does not work on any of the cars USB-C connections tried many different cables none work, my phone charged fine from all those USB-C connections with all the tried cables. When I measure the power when my phone is connected it can only pull 7 Watt. Looking online it seems that a lot of people complain about this and skoda changed the power source in the MK4 facelift to produce more wattage. So I'm actually now looking to see if I can buy the upgrade USB-C people from the facelift model and replace it (if it fits that is).
r/skoda • USB-C port for Dash Camera ->I own both a Kia EV6 and an Ioniq 5. I purchased a Fitcamx (front and rear) for my Ioniq 5, but I encountered an issue with the adapter that connects to the rearview mirror—it never turned off. The company quickly sent me a replacement cable, which resolved the problem. Aside from that, the installation was very easy, and the picture quality was decent during the day. However, nighttime performance was not as good. For my EV6, I decided to go with the Viofo A139 Pro, and the picture quality is significantly better for both daytime and nighttime. The installation was also fairly straightforward since you can get an adapter to tap into the rearview mirror for power. However, I opted to use an external battery to enable parking mode. In conclusion, both cameras serve different purposes. If you prefer an OEM look and are okay with slightly lower image quality, the Fitcamx is a solid choice. However, if you want a better app experience and superior video quality, I recommend going with Viofo or BlackVue.
r/KiaEV6 • Dash Cam? ->I’m in Alberta. I have the VIOFO A139 Pro with front and rear cameras and it has worked fine in the cold weather.
r/f150 • Dash Camera ->The VIOFO I bought is probably not current anymore. I think any of the VIOFO models are pretty good. They aren’t cheap but I’ve had the cheap ones before and was always disappointed.
r/f150 • Dash Camera ->3 channel viofo Also protects against wrongful accusations from future girls in car
r/Dashcam • New teen driver-do I need a rearview camera or just front? ->I have viofo 3 channel with dongar pro
r/ToyotaTacoma • Installing front and rear dash cam (with 24/7 recording) ->As an insurance agent, I think EVERYONE should have a dashcam. Preferably one with front and rear facing cameras. There are some great 4k cameras out there with Bluetooth capabilities. Viofo has some great cameras that get amazing reviews, but they are expensive. For more budget conscious individuals REDTIGER F7NP is a great option as well that has wireless, but it’s not Bluetooth. We have them installed on all of our vehicles.
r/asksandiego • How many people here thought about a dash camera installation in their vehicle? ->Viofo 4k, love them and keep upgrading on all 3 cars in the fam
r/Subaru_Outback • Recommendation on Dash cams 2025 outback ->Just when I think I have a good answer, someone comes up with a better answer. The hardwire kit looks great, definitely going to get that for my viofo. For others that are shopping, 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.
r/GR86 • What dash cams does everybody use? ->For dashcam, i would recommend either Viofo or Ventrue. Make sure you get the ones with Sony Starvis2 sensor so you can capture the license plate numbers. Hot wire kit is a must of you want constant power and a clean installation
r/crv • Dashcam and weather mats recommendation for 2025 crv ->Also a fan of Viofo. Been working great since I installed it just over a year ago. I got it because of the Starvis 2 sensor which gives improved clarity in the dark. If anyone is driving at night I highly recommend any dashcam with a Starvis 2 sensor.
r/rav4prime • Dash & rear camera recommendations ->What's the budget? What features do you need(parking mode, cloud connection, etc)? Stick with name brands though. Viofo for good budget option. Blackvue or Thinkware for premium options
r/Subaru_Outback • Dash cam recommendations? ->Around $100, get Viofo. Unless you get a good sale, you're looking at front only and not a front/rear. Look for one with the Starvis 2 sensor, it's a big improvement over the original one
r/Subaru_Outback • Dash cam recommendations? ->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
