hi, how the about the overheating issues, have you face it while the Dashcam working 24h from three side: The main Camera stop working record? Due to the high heat, the screen is affected by black color? Are lenses affected by Pouting over time because of the sun?

Unfortunately it was not hot enough here in Vancouver for me to test it. I know other VIOFO dashcams I have used during the summer even with parking mode in 35 degree C weather (outside the dashcams have not overheated.

I just Subscribed & rang the notification bell: This is the FIRST video I watched actually showing the Polarizing Filter being fitted/installed over the camera lens. Have you or others experience cameras falling off the windshield in HOT weather with Viofo's sticky adhesive mounting system? I, for one, would prefer the Viofo mounting system be magnetic, similar to the Garmin mounting system. I especially like the Cabin camera with added infrared lights can be positioned to cover/record the driver's door window & the passenger's door window - to record a Police Officer or a vehicle that slams into the side of my car. I will continue to use my Garmin OBD power cord to provide 24/7 power to the cameras instead of Viofo's Hard-Wire power cord because I intend to use the Parked recording features when the vehicle's engine is not running. If a Police officer tells me to remove the ignition key from the switch, my cabin camera will still record him.. I don't have a so-called "Smart" phone & like that I can access the menu with the buttons on the windshield camera. I like that you show how I will use the button on the camera to access the menu.

Thanks for watching! The hardwiring kit does the same thing as the OBD cables however it is a little more complicated to install. So it'll still run even with the key out of the ignition. Maybe Viofo will eventually make an OBD cable! Thanks for watching

I'm looking at dash cams to protect myself from unjust speeding tickets. Narrowed it down to the A129 or the A229 with the GPS. Do these track my speed and location and will they prove I was not speeding and can they be used in court to show it was an illegal traffic stop? I've never had a dash cam so don't really know how all that works, but with the increase in rights violations I want to protect myself.

Which front camera is more discreet? Is the A139 Pro or the A229 Pro less noticeable from outside the vehicle?
@vancouversworstdrivers
10 ай бұрын
Great question! If I had to guess I would probably say the A139 Pro. The A229 Pro is rectangle shape up and down whereas the A139 Pro is a similar shape but sideways which means it would fit more discreetly along the top of the windshield. Be mindful that if you have tint on the top of the windshield then you would not be able to place the dashcam higher on the glass. Thanks for watching, I hope that helps.

@vancouversworstdrivers

Hey there. So for these reviews I usually don't hardwire them because of the cost of paying someone to install doesn't make practical sense. However I love this dashcam so I actually installed it professionally yesterday with a hardwire kit and now get parking mode. I'll report back my thoughts! So far I have it in low bitrate which seems to work well, but I'm using a 64GB memory card so I'm hoping it won't fill up too quickly. Yes the U3000 in my opinion does have a better parking mode (longer parking mode and radar) but there's a few hundred dollar difference which may not be worth it for some people

I just bought this camera and it’s garbage. App doesn’t work (connects but cannot preview and is so slow as to be unusable) and has a 1.7 rating on the Apple App Store. People can’t transfer their videos reliably. How much were you paid for this review? I will give it a day or two and then it’s all going back. Also, I can’t trust your reviews in future.

Have you downloaded the correct app? There are a couple of apps that have Viofo in the name. You need the App that's called "Viofo". Once installed you should select the A229 camera. I made the mistake of downloading a different app, once I downloaded the correct "Viofo" App it worked perfectly.
