VIOFO A119 V3 Dash Cam 2K, GPS, True HDR, Buffered Parking Mode 24h, 2880x2160P 30fps Quad HD+ Car Dash Camera, Super Night Vision, 140° Wide Angle, Motion Detection, G-Sensor, Time Lapse, Loop Record

  After about four weeks of operation, the camera began to flicker in low light conditions. In the video below, you can see it. br>I contacted support at support. viofo two weeks ago. com (the dashcam manufacturer) sent them some video samples that were flickering and had strange horizontal stripes. After two weeks of back-and-forth messages, the support team still has no idea what the issue is. They advised me to turn off HDR (which I had already done), get a faster SD card (which I had already done), and update the firmware (which I did, but nothing changed). Today I received new advice from them, stating that "in order to watch my videos, I needed to use VLC or MPC, as they had no issues watching them in those players. " This is getting out of hand! br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Within a few days, support at BlackboxMyCar US (the seller) had the faulty camera tested, confirmed that there was a problem, and sent me a replacement. First and foremost, I strongly advise contacting the seller.

Before I decided to buy the Viofo A119, I spent a lot of time watching reviews on Dash Cameras. The Viofo A119 received a lot of positive feedback, but there was always the caveat that it was very basic in terms of features, but the price was fantastic. br>br>I didn't need all of the features, and I didn't want to pay extra for a "premium" dashcam that included parking mode, lane departure, and wifi, but I was concerned about the video quality, especially since all of the new dash cams are supposed to be 4k. I debated whether or not to buy a higher-resolution dashcam, but ultimately decided that all I needed was a simple, small, and reliable dashcam that I could leave in my car and forget about. I was very pleased (impressed) with the video quality after receiving the Viofo, and it made me think. "Wow, I'm not sure why it took me so long to buy this. " I like that it has a capacitor instead of a battery, which means it should be able to withstand the heat of the California summers in Los Angeles, and I haven't had any problems so far. br>br>Here are a few very minor "wish list" items that I'd like to see them include: 1. br>br> I think the dashcam's shape is ideal without the GPS, and it's simple to install on the windshield, but I don't like the added depth that comes with the GPS sensor. It would have been better if it had been integrated and just widened a little. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br The mini- It's sometimes difficult to get the SD card back into the dashcam, and I can't seem to figure it out, but that's probably more of a "me" issue. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. I appreciated the long power cable and cigarette lighter, but I would have preferred a newer style USB-C port. c plug. I'm just being selfish because I could have used it for something else and it's much easier to plug it in. br>br>If you're deciding between $100 and $300, I'd recommend the latter. You might be surprised if you try this one first! br>br>I've already purchased one as a gift for a friend, and I intend to purchase another for my wife's vehicle. Glennbr>br>Update: br>br>Glennbr>br>Glennbr>br>Glennbr>br>Glennbr 7th of July, 2021br>br>Just wanted to give you a quick update: In January 2020, I had the Viofo V3 installed in my BMW 535d. Because the car is parked outside all day at work and at night when parked at my house, having a capacitor inside was one of the selling points. I've had no problems with it, so I'm not sure if the other sellers were unlucky or if I just got lucky, but I just bought another one during Prime Day; so I'll let you know if I run into any problems. br>br>Glenn.

As a verified purchaser, I thought I'd leave a review. I've had the Aukey 1080p, Aukey 4k (horrible), Viofo v2, and now this camera. It's a great all-around cam; you can see license plates clearly even at 30fps pausing video frame by frame depending on the lighting; it's a little tougher at night depending on the angle of the car due to fuzziness, but the quality is good otherwise. br>br>I just want to make it clear that this is a 1600p camera, not a 4k one. So it's a notch above 1440p and will only show up as 1440p on YouTube, for example, and it doesn't suffer from blurry video in extreme heat like Aukey products do. br>br>The glare is pretty bad, but that's due to my windshield, which the polarizer fixed; it did take a little light away from the camera, but it more than compensates for the glare being gone. Cons include: br>br> The video audio is a little low, but the v2 has the same problem; additionally, the GPS on the v2 model is not backwards compatible.

Unfortunately, one of the two cameras I bought in February 2020 has failed. In any case, it couldn't be switched on. I was looking for a return or repair service, but it appears that these options are no longer available. Is this for real? It died after only 6 months.

After watching YouTube reviews, I purchased this product. I read the manual and used the ac adapter that came with it to install it. It worked fine for about 6 days before abruptly ceasing to function. It didn't turn on automatically as it should have. It wouldn't turn on if I pressed the power button, and it also wouldn't turn on when I plugged it into a computer. I looked it up on the internet and found that it was a common occurrence. So I contacted Amazon, who kindly offered to send me a replacement. However, the final one worked for a shorter period of time than the first, and I used a new ac adapter and cable just in case it was a faulty wire or power supply, but the problem persisted. For less than a day, it worked perfectly. There are no warnings about power outages. There are no "alerts" to be found. Then it suddenly stopped working as I drove home last night. This dash cam should be avoided at all costs.

This week, I was in a bad car accident where a driver rear-ended me, causing my 2019 Honda to be totaled. Fortunately, there were witnesses, and the man admitted to the cop that he had collided with me. In any case, when a high impact is detected, the camera should protect the video files. However, they were simply erased! I have excellent video from both before and after the accident. The accident files, on the other hand, have vanished. Instead of moving them to a secure file, the camera simply deleted them. A camera that is completely useless.
