Perhaps they're shelving the older models hence putting this as all-in-one / flagship to replace them all.

If the firmware overall has improved and recording experience.

Is the recording H264 or H265?

No more buffered parking from Viofo? Haiyaaaaa. So upsetting news wei

Gotta start saving money to upgrade to Thinkware already. No choice ..... sighhhhhh

A329 perhaps? lol

Upgrade from A129 Duo seems not a big difference. Will have to wait out for another gen perhaps.

I can agree with you on the overall quality of Viofo. Both of my units still using till today.

Viofo A119 V2 - Oct 2017
Viofo A129 Duo - Aug 2018 (KIntos)

So it's rather safe to say can last at least 4-5 years or more....

Let's see if my A1x9 series can last till A3xx series to be available.

A129 Duo is buffered parking also...i think

Both G-sensor and motion could trigger buffered parking mode.

Auto event detection: in this mode, the dashcam will only record when it detects movements around your car. and stops when it does not. while you can adjust its sensitivity by Parking motion detection. we suggest you choose low sensitivity, so minor motion caused by wind or rain doesn't trigger a recording.

isn't it the same as motion detection similar? haha

Just want to check with Viofo A129 Duo users.

Are you still using firmware 2.1 or 2.3 ?

Since 2.1 is still stable for me, I have not update it yet.
Worry of instability.....

Custom still at 1.9. But since 2.1 is not giving any issues, I stick to it.
And I notice that newer version of 2.x onwards, the bitrate files are on par with 1.9 modded firmwares. Hence no more modded firmware requires.

As i've seen 2.3 changelogs, not much changes

Change Log for V2.3
-Refine local language translation.
-Turn on WIFI in WIFI Station mode automatically.

Change Log for V2.1
-Added the WiFi station mode(Press the MIC button to enable, and WiFi button to disable.)
-Live video source display will keep after the restart
-Optimize looping recording in parking mode for slow card
-Menu language translation update

Halo boss! Bought the unit from you and still going strong.

1.5, using parking mode or not?

Such Fine-View......(pun intend)

Both also gonna compete to see which has higher price tag.

I also kinda surprised how they evaluate. Really.... facepalm

Earlier today driving and witness this on the road.
Managed to capture using my dashcam

Van drift-oooo

Anyone come across VIOFO HK3 hardwire kit malfunction?

Whereby it couldn't supply constant power to the dashcam. It'll last not even 2-3 seconds before it shuts down immediately.

If I plug in the dashcam with another power source, it's working fine.

Updated v2


---Add on---

Seems like the Mini USB port on the cam itself isn't functioning well when using HK3 kit. Currently using the Mini USB port on the GPS adapter. Hence I'm able to use dashcam for now w/o GPS.

Plugging directly into the dashcam body itself will not power up.



Article somehow says power through GPS base will also enable GPS function, doubt that...

If I use the GPS mount, somehow the GPS couldn't be used.

Not sure if it's worth fixing the A129 or not.
Sigh, gotta open and see inside what's wrong with it.

The other units which is 4 years old + still going strong.

Looking to buy A129 front camera if anyone is letting go.

Or else i may just opt for Ddpai z50 to replace my current setup.

Dilemma.....
