Usually, they will give 5m or longer cable for rear cam.

Hope this Viofo A129 is like what u describe. I installed a Viofo A119v2 for my rear window and was covered by my rear sunshade. Due to this, my Viofo A119 is very hot and the super capacitor became faulty. My date and settings always reset after every shutdown. I send this unit to Viofo China for repair. I have gotten back my dashcam. Currently the date will not reset but the settings will still reset after every shutdown. doh.gif

Probably will buy this Viofo A129 for my current car rclxm9.gif

Thats probably cap faulty or the rtc battery faulty. For the setting, need to check. Could be eprom or firmware issue. Have you try reflash the firmware?

If you were on gps module. Please remember to set the time zone correctly.

Thanks for the review; how does the A129 compare to the Mini0906?
Both are recording front and rear at 1080P 30fps.
*
Quality image more or less same. Dont view from this angle. A129 is latest and come with latest feature which most dual channel dashcam doesnt have.

1. Wifi- 2 frequency (2.4 ghz and 5 ghz).
2. Discreet concept of wedges design.

Just heard the hardwire kit for the A129 will be different from the A119. Have 3 wires like what you will see on Korean dashcam.
*

So.meaning it will come with battery B+, ground and ACC signal. So this will make is true parking hardwire kit with auto switching between ACC and Battery.

And you told me earlier you didn't want dual dashcam laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

no lah. i mean i want to see A129 spec before deciding either mini0906 or dual single cam. so now i think i will use dual channel A129 while the spare A119s will be paired with A119 pro.

this is A129 with and without cpl comparison using current A118C2/A119/A119s/A119 Pro cpl. Vignetting at the corner is very minor.

Viofo getting lots of feedback on the vignetting by testers and might be coming out with CPL V2 laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

yup. i knew but somehow current cpl still can use with slightly vignetting. its the slot position issue on the lens housing against the cpl rib. It wont be an issue if the cpl centralization with the lens housing.

Going through top is easier than the bottom. I trial and error it in my City for my F800 Pro.

Later will explore my wife's Axia with the hatchback trunk sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
*

Going over head lining cable management not that good and the balance length need to roll and hide it.

I still think floor board is better and neat. Just more work but safer and neat.

64 gb for dual channel only can get 4 hours recording time. Tim e to hunt 128gb since the price is going down.

I'm using Samsung Evo Plus 128GB. It's good.

But the Sandisk HE your selling only have 32GB & 64GB sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

look like no choice but to use samsung evo plus. Samsung Pro Endurance 128gb too costly.

Transcend Ultimate 633x is another that I'm looking at but not cheap.

Just ordered some Netac P500 Pro from Gearbest. Waiting for it to arrive.

Transcend product not cheap but its mlc no choice.

Silicone power also not cheap which i engaged before requested for reseller purely on high endurance microsd. Their price is compareable to transcend.

Netac P500 more likely similair with samsung evo plus.

Will test A129 with cpl front and rear tomorrow.

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/samsung-...bdZs9U&search=1 cheap! 128GB evo plus for RM149 drool.gif 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?
*
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.

Yeah around that since

32gb in A129 show total hours 2 hours ++
64gb in A129 show total hours 4 hours ++
