Viofo has said that a new firmware will implement pre-buffering so let's see how this goes.

Hope they can successfully implement it as they are very close to true parking mode that no other China dashcam makers are able to reach...

Hi guys, i like this Viofo A129 Duo except for the "stick-it-on-the-windscreen" installation/mounting. Can we do it like the way we install the Xiaomi dashcam with a windscreen holder?

There is a suction mount for A119 but not for A129 as the mounting holes are different.



Anyway, this will defeat the purpose of the discreet design of the dashcam.

Bro, thanks for the heads up. So i assumed this A129 doesn't come with the suction cup mount. If i am to install the A129 behind the discreet rear mirror position i wouldn't be able to view the screen of the A129.

Another question - the screen on the A129 - is there any option/setting to select the display between front camera or rear camera?

You can still view the screen. Just angle your head a bit only

There is a button on the A129 to switch between PIP, front cam only and back cam only.

Thanks for the info.

Bro, if i am to install A129 with the hard wiring for parking mode (with motion detection recording setting) what will be the impact on my car battery? Will it shortened the lifespan of the car battery significantly? Will it void the warranty if the car is still under manufacturer's warranty period? If there anyway i can have the parking mode without drawing power from the car battery? Also the parking mode does it include motion detection recording on the rear camera as well?

Usually, there will be some battery drain if using any dashcam with parking mode. But different dashcam got a different kind of drain whether it is little or a lot.

A car battery will need to know how old is the battery. Older batteries usually can't cope or last long like newer batteries.

Yes, the car manufacturer will say void warranty for whatever mods you do to your car. As long it is not factory installed, void warranty.

Use an external LiFePO4 battery to power the dashcam when the engine is off but this option is mostly Korean dashcams would have and not cheap. The battery will charge when the car is on.

A129 motion detection is not there yet like those on Korean dashcams. Best to use the timelapse parking mode for the time being until Viofo can improve their motion detection mode. Usually for both front and rear cams.

Bro thanks for the info. Am now considering A119s if rear cam and parking mode are not so important for my usage. Any advise on getting A119s instead of A129 other than the integrated rear cam and parking mode? I have checked A119s's price is now selling around RM390 on Lazada.

I am using two 119v2 on my front and rear in my Honda city. So far so good. Just that u need two memory cards.

And 2 power source but the City V spec have ciggie ports in the middle which is good

Yeah. If i dont use the ciggie ports in the middle, is kinda wasted.
Now i planning to buy a new A129 for my other car. Still considering whether to purchase directly from Viofo or Sicurez. Sicurez is more expensive by US$25 if compared to Viofo official site but i do not need to worry about warranty. I have claim warranty from Viofo directly before. It was kind of tedious and i have to pay the shipping fee to China. But at least i received back my a119v2 and the Viofo PIC which i communicate with was quite helpful and responsive.

Yeah. Have pay for postage to send back to China and all. And the wait to send and receive back the item is another thing.

I claimed before a few times with sellers in China. 2 months wait time

Anyway, Viofo fixed the price for the distributor here to sell at rm799. Cannot lower due to last time some sellers cut-price like crazy during sales.

But at least Sicurez includes installation when you get from them and the 1 year 1on1 exchange warranty is good.

Anyway City is easy to DIY install. I'm driving City V spec also

Yeah, Honda city is easy to DIY install. Ohh i see. i didnt know Sicurez also have free installation. Thanks for the info.

Dear all, may i know what kind of warranty that this dash cam usually has? If not, we can buy from other website which is much cheaper.

Hi! May i know what issue u had before?

My Viofo119v2's settings always reset after a shutdown. Then the last save file always corrupted.
Found out that the super capacitor was faulty. I send the dashcam to Viofo China to repair. They fix a new super capacitor and the last save file ossue was fixed. But i still have settings always reset issue after shutdown. Now i just let it be..

Omg! I am sorry to hear that!

I wonder if i buy from other wesbite (which offer very attractive price), do VIOFO still provide warranty for it?
