VIOFO - A139 Pro 3CH

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.

+1 on this. Love my a139 pro with the hardwire parking mode kit

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.

https://hachielectronics.com/collections/22-brz-gr86 Just ordered a Viofo A139 pro from here. I love that I'll be able to plug it into the ASC module instead of the cigarette lighter, and Andrew is so helpful and great to deal with. 

VIOFO A139 Pro. Try to get something with the STARVIS 2 sensor.

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.

I’ve got the starvis2 equipped Viofo A139 pro. It’s awesome and only 220 for 1 channel

I bought one of these and the software was so janky I returned it.

I had the think ware f770 for 6 years, f800pro for 4 years and now lm onto Viofo for the second year. I think it's the 139pro..the one with the HDR. All cams were dual channel. Believe it or not, the brand, model and size of the microSD card matters for operations.

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.

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.

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?

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).

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.

I use a Viofo A139 Pro. Tesla cam is good since it records 4 angles including the rear, so I only got the single cam version of the A139. Sometimes the Tesla cam fails, such as with a firmware bug that myself and many other Tesla drivers are experiencing where the car falls to recognize the USB drive after waking up. Here are other reasons why I got an aftermarket camera. * Better front viewing angle (Tesla front camera is very narrow, it would be nice if they gave us an option of what front camera to use) * Better video quality * Audio recording * Longer recording time (Tesla only records one hour) * Redundancy, in case one camera failed to record an incident. The A139 specifically is a great camera, it's a bit pricey though. Best video quality for the price and it has a nice low profile design. The ability to connect to WiFi networks is awesome, so once I get home I can just get on my computer and copy dashcam videos over the network; Something I wish my Tesla could do!

I have a VIOFO A139 pro. Can’t say anything bad about it. Insane camera quality all the time

I’m in Alberta. I have the VIOFO A139 Pro with front and rear cameras and it has worked fine in the cold weather.

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.

Viofo was high on my list until I got its A139. It's now an expensive paper weight.

I went with the A139 because it doesn’t have a screen. AFAIK, there’s no way to completely disable the screen on the A229.

I’ve had dashcams for like a decade now and hardly ever use the screen after the initial setup. I’ll admit the screen does help with checking the angle of the camera if you bump it while cleaning the windshield. Without a screen, you have to open the app to check. The screen is definitely not useful for seeing anything live. On the A139, I did the config with the phone. To get at videos, I pull the card and use a card adapter in my phone or computer.

I have a 3 channel viofo, love it. Easy install, works great.

I've been using it with rideshare for a few months now. The quality of the video is top notch with the Starvis 2 sensor even at night. Fast Wi-Fi, good app, decent microphone, voice commands and that great "low profile" wedge shape for which Viofo is known. I'm using a Samsung card just fine. It sees a bunch of use with my work, and I check the card and format on a schedule. If I have any complaints, it is probably about the interior camera. It just feels cheap compared to everything else. 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. 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. I thought dash cameras were moving away from this. 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. Otherwise, it is a really solid camera. Have it hardwired for parking mode, and it's given me no operational issues whatsoever.

3 channel viofo Also protects against wrongful accusations from future girls in car

I’d stick to a VanTrue or Viofo, personally.

Yea, my dad has a VanTrue N2 Pro - it’s for rideshare drivers and cabbies. But, it uses a battery - NorCal isn’t Texas or Arizona but if I had to do it again, it’s a Viofo 3-channel system.

I have viofo 3 channel with dongar pro

I upgraded from an Orskey(?) HD dashcam to a Viofo 4k a couple of years ago. It made a huge difference; it becomes much, much easier to identify reg plates in particular. I don't even have a 4k TV or computer either, I just use the interactive zoom feature on VLC Player. 256GB is enough for more than a whole day, even with front and rear cams like the Viofo has. Runs off the 12V socket so no battery issues.

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.

It’s not entirely wrong, a lot use the same camera sensors or more hardware. I got a Viofo 4K dashcam front and back which has the new Sony starvis 2 sensor for £160 with a hardwire kit

I use a Viofo 4K unit off of Amazon. Works great. 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. It has a rear camera too. Records to an SD card but has Wifi to beam video to your phone via their app if you want. 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.

Viofo 4k, love them and keep upgrading on all 3 cars in the fam

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Viofos are great
