      Lol, was going to post that but that seller is not a power rated seller yet, only $1 difference make this deal sounds about the same.

    • Romen on 01/09/2018 - 19:27

    I personally wouldn't recommend this. The brand is quite reliable, but problems can arise such as clock being reset due to capacitor power loss which means all your recordings get recorded over leaving you with no footage, or other random issues such as how they handle power loss etc.

    If you want to invest in a front and rear camera, just get two dash cameras, that way you'll always have something (hopefully)

    • AHC on 01/09/2018 - 20:17

      Doesn't the camera set the time off the GPS?

      Absolutely pile of vague BS. I've never had any of the vague issues mentioned in this members post. The A129 for me has been absolute 100% rock solid.

      Troll comment, these units sync the time every time you turn them on via the gps. They also remind you to format the memory card.

      Reliability also comes down to memory cards, not all are great for dashcams.

      I have always used Samsung ones, other brands may also be good but these have been rock solid for years. Check reviews to ensure your sd card is reliable and suitable for the constant use in a dashcam

      Heat and constant writes.

    • RandomFox on 03/09/2018 - 03:22

      What review are you referring to? there is no "all over the world Viofo A129 review" according to google.

      This dash cam seems too new to fork out money when there is a lack of comparison and reviews on reliability

      • Xinjiang on 04/09/2018 - 00:08

        Heaps reviews online across different Dashcam communities, and lots of video on YouTube comparing with higher priced big brands. Reliability have been really good for all other Viofo cameras, guess this will rock hard as well.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2018 - 21:43

    $198 bargain….

    • Xinjiang on 01/09/2018 - 21:48

      When you compares the similar video quality Blackvue goes for around $700, then reconsider the price tag again. It’s all comes down to the fact you pay for what you get I guess.

      • RandomFox on 02/09/2018 - 20:37

  • Splashtash on 01/09/2018 - 22:51

    How to install the back cam? I used to plug my old one into the car port in the front. Do u need to hardware it urself or something?

    • Xinjiang on 01/09/2018 - 22:56

      Rear camera plug straight into the front main camera through USB port, you just have to lead it all the way to the rear and stick onto the rear windscreen.

      • Splashtash on 01/09/2018 - 23:00

        Thanks. I'll buy one :)

          You can concealed it to a certain extend. As my trunk opens up similar to a hatch, the wires are exposed slightly. Again, I install it on my own. No biggie.

  • Korban Dallas on 01/09/2018 - 23:07

    Hmm selling quality stuff. While the picture is good, their frigging mounting system in a previous model was horrendous. Always disconnects. Not sure why they didn't do more product testing for release.

    • Xinjiang on 01/09/2018 - 23:16

      Feel the same here, I have a A119 too but reallly don’t like the design of the gps module, since the a129 came out and read lot of reviews and forum talk they did upgraded the overall design of the a129. Did make a purchase and received my one not long ago and installed, actually very happy with the new gps module, heaps better in terms of the structural design and connectivity of the pins.

  • bcarp on 01/09/2018 - 23:08

    Just installed one last week & have discovered that it messes with the DAB digital radio reception. Unplug the rear camera & DAB reception returns to normal. I've tried various places around the rear windscreen, but I think this is just some interference from the rear camera that isn't going to be fixable.

    • Xinjiang on 01/09/2018 - 23:18

      Not sure about that but don’t have DAB in my car so can’t comment :(

      • Kangal on 02/09/2018 - 00:36
        +1

        No, it's true.
        It depends on the car model, some have the antenna close to the mounting point. It's annoying, and it cannot be fixed with a signal booster.

        The BlackVue's don't have this problem…but you do pay for it.

        • MrBillions on 02/09/2018 - 17:30

          is that confirmed? blackvue no probs?

        • Kangal on 02/09/2018 - 18:50

          @mrbillions:

          Yep, although I only know of the last 2 models of the BlackVue. If you get an older one, I am not sure about it.

          I remember a British reviewer on YouTube about this topic. And his final solution was "I don't need radio, can stream from phone's 3G".

    • Alzori on 02/09/2018 - 08:30
      +1

      Try with a better quality USB power supply. I used the cheap crappy included 5V adapter with my A119s and running the power via the same route as my DAB antenna destroyed reception. When I swapped it for a nice Tronsmart adapter the issues went away.

      At the very least it's something you can try for only $10.

      • yuni83 on 02/09/2018 - 11:08

        Which tronsmart adaptor did you use Alzori? Got a link? Cheers!

        • Alzori on 02/09/2018 - 13:03

          Hey dude, I got it wrong. I got a blitzwolf charger, the BW-C10, link: https://m.banggood.com/Qualcomm-Certified-BlitzWolf-BW-C10-Q…

          They're both good brands though, I think pretty much any of the ones they sell should work well (as long as it outputs a good 2A at least).

          @Alzori: Not a bad idea. I'm glad to hear real world experience that this solution may work. That particular one is too big to fit in the area where my power plug is in the car, but I'll try some others & see if that solves the issue. Thanks for the suggestions

    A119 Pro I have, it has 1440P, better picture for reading number plates (not sure what sacrificing GPS means though)… I think
    You can buy x2 for around $200 also.

    • oadvdotcom on 02/09/2018 - 07:20

      with GPS? which better?

      • Alzori on 02/09/2018 - 08:47
        +1

        I would think 60fps is more important than 1440p (the 119 does 1440p30fps). Faster fps means less motion blur, which also makes things easier to read. That said the 129 only does 60fps if you disable the rear camera it seems, so I don't know what's better on balance.

        • PerthectDeal on 02/09/2018 - 10:05

          From what I have read online, the motion blur is the same with 30fps and 60fps. The advantage of 60fps over 30fps is smoother playback at slow motion.

          On my A119s I find 30fps adaquate frames per second even at freeway speeds so have it set to this to extend storage.

        • RandomFox on 02/09/2018 - 20:43

          @m in perth: ive watched 30 vs 60 fps videos and multiple times you could read the passing cars number plates while on the 30 fps you were unable to

        • PerthectDeal on 02/09/2018 - 21:51

          @RandomFox:
          Interesting, I will have to do some test of my own in 30 fps and 60.

        • RandomFox on 02/09/2018 - 22:00

          @m in perth: I just watched some youtube side by side 30vs60 videos and used < > buttons to do frame by frame, chances of captures the number plate are still only slightly more likely at low speeds and depending factors

      • master131 on 02/09/2018 - 09:52

        Also make sure you're using a micro SD designed for dash cams (ie. ones labelled "high-endurance" or designed for surveillance systems). Regular ones have limited write cycles and will fail with the demand of a dash cam.

      • robb6014 on 02/09/2018 - 13:19

        I did and it fixed it. But unfortunately 2 weeks later doesn’t work again. As in dosnt even power on. Have expensive memory card. Problem is won’t power. It’s an A119s

        • jameswayne on 02/09/2018 - 13:24

          Cheap sd card will always give you headache when used in dashcam. Even in my blackvue using a samsung evo card always giving problems. Upgraded to endurance pro solve the problem.i thin k this applies to viofo too.

      Found Viofo dashcams to be generally reliable (have 3 of them for over 3 years and family have another 3).

      Only problem I have had is a failed capacitor causing the last file to become corrupt as could not save in time after power off. New capacitor from Altronics was $7 and 5 mins to fix.

    Is there a good set of installation instructions out there for having the cables all hidden and also hardwired? Bought 2 sets for both cars (Mazda 3 and Land Rover Freelander 2) - now working out how best to install, apparently you need a 3 wire kit or something?

    • Xinjiang on 02/09/2018 - 15:54

      sure you can, camera has a picture in picture mode where it can show either front camera’s view or rear camera’s or both, all you gotta do is switching to rear camera’s review to use when in reversing, simple as that. But I think you have to position it right in order to see the bumper to bumper view.

    so I currently have 2 x A119's for the front and rear
    I am recording in 1440P

    would this purchase be an improvement for me ?

    • Alzori on 02/09/2018 - 17:21

      Don't think so. It records at 1080p 30fps if you use both cameras so it would probably be similar. Night time video might be better but not sure. The other benefit is you probably get synced up videos, but I don't think that's worth $200 to get.

    • Xinjiang on 02/09/2018 - 17:31
      +2

      Definitely a improvement from the gps module’s design that’s for sure, then you saving the hassle to run two cameras with two memory cards, and a129 have better night vision than a119. Thirdly, a129 has WiFi and Bluetooth. Then finally and most importantly, Viofo will introduce the live view streaming from WiFi connection in car which means in near future you can hook up ur WiFi modem in car and view live streaming from your smart phone whenever there is a need. That’s a great feature for lot of people.

    • PerthectDeal on 07/09/2018 - 23:05

      Saitek, do you have 2 x A119 or A119s?
      The reason is the A119s is 1080p, only the A119 is 1440P.

      If you have 119s, these cameras have superior night vision and not sure it would be worth the switch.
      Also not sure if the wifi is really worth it, I have only had to review footage a few times in the last 3 years, taking the card out takes seconds. Also look at the youtube videos on reviewing the footage over wifi, with the high resolution, playback over wifi pauses and buffers. You can download the file to your phone and then play it that is another option. To see the detail, your really want to view it on a PC or TV with a large display.
