DDPAi app

Initial firmware version 42016 out of the box. Latest firmware version 42021.


Videos
Recorded in 2560×1600 30fps with an overall bit rate of 12.9 Mb/s.




















Danny’s final thoughts
Low light performance dropped after update to the latest firmware. But the image has lesser noise. Details of objects can be seen/determined.

The DDPai app is a battery drainer. Hopefully, future updates would fix that.

Thanks for the review. Planning to get a unit.

Is it hard to install it? Or need to go to autoshop for installation?

If without hardwire kit, it's easy to DIY install. With hardwire kit, will be a bit harder but still able to DIY install. Just that need to figure out which fuse slots to use for the hardwire kit.

It's nice. But I'm waiting for the new Viofo A129 (successor to the A119 series) to be released soon.
