Your "how to" video is outstanding! You don't mess around with details that don't matter and explain things so clearly. This little dashcam is so simple yet has lots of cool features. Thanks for the extra effort and the "outtakes" you had in the beginning and in the middle! Love the humor.

I just installed my Pro Duo this week, and became tremendously frustrated at a few things. So here's a pro tip this video glosses over, which is immensely important: After turning Wifi ON, you MUST exit out of the option menus and return to home screen before Wifi actually turns ON. Not knowing this led to quite a few minutes of frustration the first time I setup my DashCam.

Your videos really did help me with a ton of information and helped me decide on a dashcam. I got a 129. Apart from all the good things and short comings covered here, I felt a couple of things were missing and which were important for me. I wanted to have a 4 side coverage. Since there are none such around (at least I could not find it), I decided to go for 2 dashcams with a dual (front & rear) cameras. So in all 4 different views from 2 different dashcams (front & rear twice). Here is where I ran into a couple of issues that were important for me. 1.I cannot connect 2 different Viofo Dashcams to my Viofo App on my mobile app simultaneously. This is the case even if both were Viofo Dashcams. I will have to decide which of the two I want to connect my mobile to. Alternatively, I will have to buy myself another mobile phone connection and then have both the Dashcam recordings in two separate mobiles. 2. The second is that I cannot connect a single A 129 to two different mobiles simultaneously (the 2nd being my backup mobile). Imaginary/ Hypothetical ? Not really. I actually have this on a GPS tracker that I use. 2 different devices (like 2 different dashcams). Their mobile App can store (and therefore track) multiple devices to a single app. Additionally, I have this on 2 different mobiles (not sure if it can be added on more…I did not need it on more though). Not that I am in any way connected to it nor am I being sponsored to say so, but OneLap Go is one such (there could be more) where I live in India….So I am speaking from the experience of using multiple trackers on a single mobile app and the use of tracking on different set of mobiles simultaneously. My plan is to travel a lot across different regions that speak different languages …..communication issues could come up…hence…. So now I have to decide how I wish to go about the 2nd Dashcam to ensure 4 side coverage - any dashcam other than a Viofo or to live with 2 mobiles each capturing one set of dashcams. I am still learning many of the features of the Dashcam….

Since the wifi channel of each camera is independent, there is no way to connect to two cameras with one phone simultaneously. It is just like your phone can only connect to one LTE at the same time. Meanwhile, one channel cannot be connected to two phones as it is not like LTE which is emanative.

You recommend the Low Bitrate Recording setting in order to capture video when parked. Why do you not recommend Auto Event Detection? It seems to me that less SD card space and less power would be needed if using Auto Event Detection, yet any "incidents" while parked would still be recorded. Right? Also for those who do use Auto Event Detection, would you suggest any other setting changes (e.g Parking G-Sensor or Parking Motion Detection)?

Hi Glenn, there might have been a miscommunication in our video, but we've double checked with our Sales team and this is what they asked me to communicate over to you: - Low Bitrate Recording uses less power compared to Auto Event Detection so you'll actually get more parking mode time out of it - Yes, if you're using Auto Event Detection, any incident while parked will still be recorded - If you're using Auto Event Detection, we recommend setting the G-Sensor to the highest sensitivity, and motion detection to be at the lowest Hope this helps!

The VIOFO camera is not able to be directly wired to an iPad or other third party screen for viewing like this, though you can connect via the camera's wifi for live-view. Live-view for backing up is not recommended as sometimes there can be a few seconds delay, and pulling up the feed on your iPad each time will likely be tedious. Beyond that, as the rear camera is designed to stick to the rear windshield, the rear camera angle for most vehicles will not be ideal for backing up.

Once the front dashcam is mounted to the windshield, how do you physically connect the camera to a computer via USB? You included this as an option, but it’s not clear to me how to accomplish this. Seems like removing the micro sod card would be the only option after mounting to the windshield. I’ll link for another video in case this is covered elsewhere.

I recently installed a Viofo A129 pro in my car. I also downloaded the Dashcam Viewer to my Windows 10 PC so I can view them on a larger screen and use a better interface. When I viewed my videos on Dashcam Viewer using the included Viofo USB/Micro SD adapter for my Sandisk High Endurance 256 GB Micro SD card, the video stuttered throughout. I then used the SD/Micro SD adapter that was included with the Micro SD card and plugged it into an SD reader slot on my PC. The stuttering stopped, but straight lines are still showing "jaggies". However, I find that if I play back the same video in VLC Media Player it is virtually perfect and much clearer. The downside is that I don't get speed, GPS and mapping. I'm thinking there might be a problem regarding the video codec setting on the Viofo camera itself. It would be great if you could do a video explaining how to change that setting in the camera, as it doesn't appear in the menu. Well done video. Thanks!

Finally, what if I leave my car at the airport for a week or two while I travel (...someday in the future), will this run my battery out?

Hi Tom, it depends on your settings, but yes - it will continue to drain your dash cam battery (not your car battery!) as your dash cam is technically still on but recording for any motion/event detection. Hardwiring your dash cam does not impact your car battery - it only charges from your car battery when you're driving it around! If you're leaving in your car for several days or longer, then we recommend getting a dash cam battery pack - look into the BlackboxMyCar BI-750 Dash Cam Battery :) And hey, if you have more questions, please contact us at info[at]blackboxmycar.com.

@4:45 when I click Connect To Camera it does not go to Live View. It takes me back through the whole connection process again , in other words it keeps taking me around in a circle . This is with Apple App. Can you tell me how to fix this. Thanks !

So I installed the a129 pro duo and after it powers on, it will record for about 30 seconds the record button will flash a few times and come back on solid, then about 10 seconds after that it will just keep flashing until I physically hit the record button on the camera to make it record again. I've formatted the SD card as well. Any ideas on this situation?

Could you try formatting the SD card through your computer and see if you get any error codes? Sounds very likely to be an SD card error

It sure can, but you can't connect to both at the same time. Do keep in mind that you only really need to connect to the camera to review footage or change settings, which can alternatively be done on the physical screen.

Great Video... U mentioned taking off my dash cam and plugging it directly to the computer. Is the cam able to be taken off the windshield without destroying the stickem on the back of it... I want to be able to take it off and put it back on the windshield with out problems... JohnCat

Yes, as the dash cam itself is attached to a mount that sticks to the windshield. The dash cam can be detached from this mount.

Hi, if we keep WiFi function on all the time, the dashcam will heat up more quickly which could affect it regular recording.

If you use Auto Event Detection under parking mode, all of the videos will be locked and kept under RO files. There is a special firmware you can update if you do not want to lock the videos using this parking mode. You can communicate with our support to get it.

Assuming it's a micro USB cable, Is there a certain wall wart power adapter that's best to use when you need to power on the camera inside and not on the pc? I have a number of wall adapters but I don't want to fry the camera with something not to spec. Thanks!

What VIOFO said! Beyond that, there's also normally a smart network switch setting on Android phones, disabling this, or setting your phone to airplane mode while you connect to the camera network should allow you to connect in the vehicle.

Hi there, unfortunately not - the reason is because your dash cam can't be on wi-fi while it's recording. Is there a reason why you'd like to automatically connect to your car's wi-fi everytime you start your car? You only need to sync up if you'd like to watch your footage or change your settings.

I installed VIOFO A129 at the Car Stereo Shop and I noticed that tech installed it via Hotwire. I assumed that recordings continue during the parking. Q1) I wonder if battery will run down? Q2) I wonder if the parking mode is still active on Hotwire?

So did they install using a "hardwire" kit? If so, that kit has a voltage regulator that is usually set to 12V. Once the battery tells the device it is below 12V, it will cut off the dash cam saving you from a dead battery. And you have to set Parking Mode in the app to have it active. Hoping BlackBoxMyCar will correct this if necessary.
