Generally for everything in a normal car, voltage should be in the range of 12v. Just like all the voltage in a house is 230v.

BTW, get a piggy back fuse tap. This will ensure the ori fuse is not disturbed. Will not void if car still under warranty.

Wao, learn a new place for electronic goods.
Thank you

Another question, I see these fuse tap got 15v,12v etc. Is it important?
Fuse taps that support 12v and above is the one I'm looking for, right?

Also, at the hardwire kit has a voltage cut off toggle. I'll put it at 12V. Is it appropriate?

Thanks for your reply, I Googled and just want to confirm with you.

Can I put two ground wire together at the same terminal?
I attached the hardwire ground wire to the car's ground wire.

Hi guys,  please advise which dashcam to purchase? Budget 350

Viofo a119 v2
YI Nightscape Dash Camera
ddpai mini 3 pro
Other better option?
*
Viofo a119 v2 - Best budget now. New V3 is great but less than rm500.
YI Nightscape Dash Camera - not sure yet but heard was a remake of the failed older Yi Nightscape that was using battery
ddpai mini 3 pro - Mini3 was great. New Mini3 Pro not sure.

Does Viofo A129 has true parking mode like Thinkware now?
I am choosing one dual dashcam between A129 and F200

Almost there but not 100% like Thinkware yet.

mean can last how many hours? still cannot long hrs eg 8-12+ hrs like thinkware?
*
Duration of the true parking mode will depend on what you set for the cutoff voltage on the dashcam and depends on the car battery condition. And other factors.

But if it will work like Thinkware's true parking mode, I can say that it is about 90%+...

what about Viofo A129 durability ok?
because most of time i park under sun just worry abit on this
*
Viofo dashcams is the most recommended dashcam here laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

All using capacitors inside... So no need to worry about parking every day in the sun... Just remember to off the A129's wifi when using with parking mode as heard will overheat easily...

just come across a new function on some power cables. 360degree radar detection. Instead of detecting motion in front of dashcam, the radar senses any movement in 5 meter radius. Seems like it can help to do some 'buffered' recordings.

anyone already using this?

Which dashcam?

should be any dashcam (ideally capacitor based).

cable like this: https://www.gearbest.com/obd-diagnostic-tools/pp_798467.html

sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzr_DG8FU3c

basically its radar, sending out microwave to detect movements.
*
The video is motion detection parking mode. But you talk about 360 degrees radar detection 5m away, don't think such tech exist for dashcams.

Korean dashcams can do what in the video did. So can Viofo. Other China dashcams not yet.

I got the same problem with my A129 Duo IR as well where the video will have some pink at the top side and not clear at the rear windshield line.
*
Are you using IR Auto mode for the rear cam? Try IR color mode instead.

The not clear part is because of the line and the tint. See if you can place the lens in-between the lines instead.

will try to adjust this. i currently setting it to mono mode. the color mode seems weird as the tree's green color turn purple  sweat.gif

IR auto mode will do that as in infrared mode. Most infrared cam is like that. Dark objects will look purple.

You can see the 3 modes that I did in my reviews.

@blurjoey,

  Appreciate your view on the Japanese made dashcam below, many thanks.

RM1.2k for this and not yet include shipping from Japan sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

I can get a good Korean dashcams for RM1.2k+...

This looks the same from Aliexpress but a bigger screen and body...

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32836301981...rchweb201603_53

I don't think Japan has dashcam manufacturers. Mostly is OEM from China or Taiwan.

It does exist, its not a function inbuilt in the dashcam. Its the small radar box in the power cable that does the work whether to provide power or cut the power. Not sure about Korea, but this tech already exists in China (for at least 2 years), but not sure why its not widely used yet. Based on the description, its straightaway they did not mess up the conventional motion detect and radar detect.

Sorry, haven't bumped into this. Not much info on how it works also. Looks more like a gimmick.

Maybe you buy and try it out and let us know?

The back color is really strange. Since this is issue from the cam itself, will viofo fix it?
*
Depends on which IR mode he used for the rear cam as the rear cam is an infrared cam. Got 3 IR modes: Auto, Color & Mono.

Not a normal cam like the A129 Duo.

was told by sicurez.. they dont recommend the parking mode yet.. it seems that the power cut is not stable..  confused.gif

I think the voltage cutoff reading is not as accurate as Thinkware. So they are scared the battery might not have enough juice to start the car.

Need to calibrate the actual voltage  between vehicle battery & hardwire/camera. Wire resistance, voltage drop and component tolerance is the factor.

How to calibrate the actual voltage between the car battery and hardwire/camera? I only can see settings on the hardwire/camera for voltage cut off for the parking mode settings. How to calibrate the car battery voltage if it is the car battery?

Just want to ask, if hardwire dashcam into the car electrical panel, will it void warranty?

Hardwire to the car fuse box. All car manufacturer will say void warranty if anything it is not factory installed.

just curious, could i remove the A129 IR rear cam and use the A119 dashcam as rear using the A129 IR rear cam micro cable to power
*
Won't work as the A129 can only work with Duo or IR rear cam only.

A119 is a standalone cam by itself. Not a dual dashcam's rear cam.

QUOTE(KIntos @ Jul 27 2019, 12:12 AM)
Measure car battery then measure input voltage into hardwire kit. See what is the difference? 1st try fiddle the cutoff setting based on measured input voltage of hardwire kit. If its at 12.35v then select 12.2v as cutoff and see how long the parking mode duration. If not long enough, set 12.0v

If the input voltage not stable, extra capacitor to stable the input voltage of the hardwire kit.

If input voltage measured is higher than car battery, add resistor to bring down the voltage close to measured car battery voltage.
*
Sounds complicated. What if later the voltage is different? Then need to add/remove the capacitor/resistor? sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Do you install like that for all your Viofo A129 Duo/IR and A119V3? hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif
