QUOTE(KIntos @ Jun 21 2018, 02:57 PM) Each recorded file for 3 mins loop is 363mb front camera same goes to rear camera. So you will get 363 mb *2 file during 1080p 30 fps dual channel. Thanks! So say 370MB for a 3min loop file, it needs around 7.23GB per hour per channel, or 14.5GB per hour for 2CH. A 128GB card has around 119GB of real free space (128,000,000,000b), thus we would have a recording of around 8.2 hours for a 128GB card for 2CH. |

QUOTE(fx9 @ Jun 21 2018, 11:53 AM) hi blurjoey, Not yet as I'm waiting on the new 3 wires hardwire kit from Viofo. I do know a few cases of faulty capacitor causing corrupted last files but it's for A119 though.have you tried the hardwire+parking mode? does it suffer from shutdown & memory corruption (missing files) like DDpai mini 3 due to overheating? Interested to invest on this  My neighbor using mini3 with hardwire kit and parking. He hasn't experienced any overheating issue yet. |

QUOTE(isr25 @ Jun 21 2018, 01:39 PM) https://www.lazada.com.my/products/samsung-...bdZs9U&search=1 cheap! 128GB evo plus for RM149 128GB is more than enough for A129 Duo. My A129 is recording 363MB per 3 mins file for both front and rear.  just got this to go along with the A129 when it arrives.In any case, the bit rate for the new A129 is around 16.7Mbps, so with 2CH recording, it would have around 8.5 hours of recording time with the 128GB card right? Viofo said A129 Duo can use 256GB  Anyway Kintos have explained d |

Had to cut it open using a razor cutter 
Can’t wait to install these 2 tonight 
My Samsung 128GB Evo Plus cards also arrived today

Hi, interested in getting the A129. Just wondering, buying from Sicurez or Viofo's official website is cheaper? Is the hardwire kit included or we have to wait till hardwire kit released? Sicurez provided installation including hardwire or just for normal one? Thanks in advance.

Viofo official website cheaper but warranty if any issue will have headaches. Sicurez is the authorized Viofo distributor with 1 year 1-on-1 exchange warranty.Hardwire kit usually is sold as an accessory. You'll need to contact Sicurez for more info about the installations. |

Just a question out of the blues, I'm wondering why Mini USB is preferred over Micro USB for A129?
Any specification differences between the cable design? |

QUOTE Mini USB is more reliable when using the 10 pin variant, if it's power only using 5 pin Micro USB is fine but it limits some future options |
