It doesnt include the GPS unit too.
Is there anyone who could share some info on the pricing for diff type of Viofo dashcam? the few varieties seems quite similar to me. In average, I drove 30% at night, 70% on daytime. My journey is about 15-30km daily..

This is maybe guaranteed service & warranty as it comes from official site. But for cheaper, as I've searched around many sites, Lazada is cheapest, but it ships from china.

hi, i just got my a119, i guess its a v2. I did some reading, youtubes, found out the use of that funny detaching string. but were curious on some issues...

1. it cant on now, shall i charge it overnight prior to first use?
2. the suction mount is not included, may i know what type is suitable & where to get it?

the unit only can be powered on when connected to power source. i cant turn it on without plugging usb on it. is this normal?

i thought of sticking it to a suction mount(refer attachment), so that it would be adjustable. is this normally done with viofo? Cos i saw yi dashcam is using suction mount.

I'm a new owner of the viofo a119. My device comes with a FOC 8gb card(assume its cheapo, there's no brand on the sdcard). My problem is :

During recording, when the card gets full, the device would blink rapid red light & jam, pressing any keys wont turn the display on. I had 2 unplug the power to reset it, only then, when it switches on, it would prompt me to 'format' the memory card as its full. I also did not see any option to automatically delete the recordings when its full.

Does anyone has the same experience? Could pls kindly advise?
