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.

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.

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?

If you buy direct from Viofo official store, they will provide 1 year warranty but you'll need to ship the A129 back to China to claim warranty. Shipping back and forth might take 2-3 months.

Some online sellers selling cheaper price usually provide no warranty or 6 months warranty only.

There is a distributor for Viofo in Malaysia, Sicurez, they provide 1 year 1-on-1 exchange warranty. But their price is locked as Viofo's guidelines.

Thank you for all the info! But I think the price for the local distributor is way too expensive. sad.gif

Hi! I read some reviews suggested that the WDR should be turned OFF. May i know why? I thought this function is good to be turned ON?

May i know what are the recommended settings for G-Sensor and Boot Delay?

One more question... If my loop recording is 3 min, when i press the Emergency Recording button, the recording will be locked 3 min only or will continue to lock until i press it again to unlock it? Do i need to unlock it?

Is there a way to switch off the screen while recording?

I just got my A129 duo installed. I’m facing issue on the rear camera video quality because the recording view can see a few blur horizontal lines due to the heating conductor lines... but in bro @blurjoey’s video couldn’t see it. Is it because the tinted firm of my car got problem? But in actual visual can’t notice it.... I’m not sure if I can get away with that by adjusting the rear angle of the camera... will try it tml...
