QUOTE(Eternalgl0ry @ Oct 15 2018, 11:01 PM) What is the best dashcam ? with front and rear QUOTE(eggplants @ Oct 15 2018, 11:13 PM) Just wondering. any intro guide for dashcams here in Malaysia? - for what is available to get in Malaysia - different types - plug to charger, or connect to fuse etc. - how to install / conceal wiring etc. been wanting to get one, but not sure where to look. keep seeing the new 70mai advertising all over the internet; wondering if that is worth getting. although would be good to get one that has back camera too. Viofo a129 Dual Channel best value for money IMO |

QUOTE(KIntos @ Oct 29 2018, 11:35 AM) Latest news. Might be postponed again. Connector angle changing point and no fuse tap included. Thanks for the updates KIntos. Few questions: 1) Btw if we use the current hardwire kit & use the low bit rate parking mode. Will it drain the battery? (NA: I saw youtube videos people comparing the low bit rate parking mode on viofo a129 with the other brands) 2) As what I've been told, the cigarette power on my car will still be ON eventho i off the car engine. Can we use that for the parking mode? Will it drain the battery? p/s: I ordered the Viofo a129 and still waiting for it to arrive. This post has been edited by zafferZ: Oct 29 2018, 03:27 PM |

QUOTE(KIntos @ Oct 29 2018, 03:37 PM) Thanks for the clarification. Btw im driving a CX5. I've searched on internet, the cigarette lighter will still be ON even if engine is OFF QUOTE(Like a Bause @ Oct 29 2018, 03:42 PM) cig power wont be ON once you have off your car engine.. I checked on internet. For CX5, the cigarette lighter will still be ON even if we off the engine. |

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Oct 29 2018, 03:44 PM) Some are using the 2 wires hardwire kit and the new 3 wires are coming soon. Some requested Viofo to consider letting them use the 2 wires hardwire kit instead of the 3 wires hardwire kit. So Viofo is implementing a function in the coming firmware that allows you to choose which hardwire kit is used. This is part of why there was some delay in the final 3 wires hardwire kit. Oh really.. So for now i think i will use the cigarette lighter to power ON my viofo a129. And no parking mode atm. Later gonna implement the 3wire kit once available. Hopefully sooon. Thanks for the info! |

My viofo a129 just arrived yesterday & able to install front & rear cam. For now only using the cigarette lighter for the power source.
So far works well & the video quality is great. Just one issue I noticed & if someone can help me here:
I changed the settings to my preference & After each time I start the engine, my cam automatically change the setting back to default.
Anyone encounter this issue with the a129? Any solution?
Thanks!

QUOTE(voncrane @ Oct 29 2018, 05:08 PM) Nope.. The 2018 G2 CX-5 kills power to the cig port when engine is off. I tried both the cigarette lighter power source with the a129: 1- The socket under the aircond control: straight away off after engine off 2- The one in the armrest compartment: stay ON after engine off (i'm not sure for how long havent test fully yet) |

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Oct 30 2018, 01:53 PM) Try to factory reset the A129 and setup again. Did you run the engine for a while to charge the capacitor? U mean the 1st time using the cam on the car? Will try to factory reset it.. |

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Oct 30 2018, 02:43 PM) Yeah... Maybe the capacitor didn't have enough charge to save the settings. Ohh.. will try both ways. Reset & run engine a bit longer.  |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Oct 30 2018, 04:03 PM) Hmm, never used that port in the armrest compartment.. Will check it out and see.. So you manged to install the A129 rear cam on our hatchback type boot cover? Wires hidden properly and no hindrance opening and closing? Edit.. Checked the port and power is killed once engine switches off. I consider this normal operation, so you might want to check with SC as to why yours still supplies power even after the engine is switched off and not in ACC mode. For the rear cam Its not really hidden. The wire they provide for rear cam is jussstt enough to make it to the rear window so theres 1 small part where I unable to hide the wire but no compromise whatsoever. Now Im searching for extension wire (Mini B Male to Female) so i can adjust it a bit. Regarding the cigarette lighter source: Im gonna try it once again & confirm back. Thanks!

QUOTE(lil_flank @ Nov 15 2018, 01:38 PM) I am not sure. Why not u order directly from Viofo online since it is free shipping? QUOTE(blurjoey @ Nov 15 2018, 02:27 PM) You got one of the best now  Heard should be this month local sellers (Kintos aka JNK, Sicurez, etc) will be getting stock.

The options are: 2 PCS ATS Fuse Kit 2 PCS ATC Fuse Kit 2 PCS Mini Fuse Kit 2 PCS Micro Fuse Kit Gonna use it for CX5 |

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Dec 5 2018, 09:37 AM) Viofo posted in their FB page A129 Duo IR Rear Camera will be available soon, with 4 pcs LED, 7G F1.8 IR lens and Sony IMX291 Starvis Sensor, this will be one of the best dash camera for recording front and interior, especially for uber and lyft drivers. [attachmentid=10128411] https://www.facebook.com/viofo.world/photos...?type=3&theaterWahh great news!. I didnt expect they will expand the capabilities of the a129 like this. Its a great option to have & I think its well worth it buying the a129. Thanks for the heads up! |
