Hmm, looks like the CPL has its pros and cons. If driving in well litted areas at night especially highways, its okay.

But in not so litted area, can reduce the visibility of the camera recording distance.

Bro, A119 got parking mode? If yes, is it good? Where do you draw power from once the car is turn off?

Yes have with the latest firmware... Have to hardwire to car's fuse box to draw power...

I think with CPL is still ok... At least got rid of the reflections from the daylight in the video...

How to determine whether this is version 1 or 2 ?

from this video mini2 look much more clear . Maybe because of CPL so A119 brightness lower down ?

I have the V1 and V2 pictures in my review

But now all new stock is V2...

It's usually darker video with CPL lens as it has to manage the reflections and glare...

so with CPL lens is good ?

CPL lens is good for reducing reflections and glares on the windscreen but videos will be a bit darker and some tints will show rainbow effect with the CPL like when you wear polarized sunglasses...

but when u saw the rainbow effect is like very weird

ofcoz still better then eagle-i LOL

Eagle-i is over priced rebranded China dashcam...

That time they like doing promotion , dam cheap
but now already ban it from my list

not even 1 year already alot problem

My two a119 which i bought from Banggood on 6 Sep have just arrived. Both are v2 versions without foam. Finally my Transcend High Endurance 32gb can be used on the dashcam.

Will mount it on my car this weekend.

Nice! Have fun setting up...

For those using this A119, did any of you bought the hard wire kit and use the parking mode?

I'm still finding the right fuse to piggyback onto it that has constant power to enable the a119 to use parking mode. Any suggestion?

The parking mode by Viofo is actually very good... Can almost compare with ThinkWare...

You'll need to read car's manual or use a multimeter...

I hardwired my car with vicovation brand on a119. You need to show us ur car fuse allocation. Then i can tell you to check which fuse and wiring.

I'll use a multimeter to check for current. If there's current, I'll tap into it.

Kinda hard to find 3a or 4a fuse. Smallest from Car Accessories shop is 5a...

Try get from online platform like element14 & rs component.

Thanks. I'll try find local.shops first. Imagine getting minimum order of 50 units from element14.
