Indeed. The recordings can shed so much light when it comes to investigation.

Like the recent major accident in Subang Jaya, there were 4 cars involved and caused one death. Unfortunately none of the 4 cars have dashcam.

Waiting for reviews from dashcam sifus. Haha

Looks like we have much choices now. Which is excellent! Now wait for prices or discount.

How's the testing of 256GB Evo plus? Can be used nicely for Viofo A129 or A119v3?

I can vouch this as well. Currently is working as same as A119v3 function now.

Been using for a week

Yes, B1W requires manually activation of parking mode through the app.

Therefore it's best to use Viofo A119v3 or A129 Duo for parking mode.

Not sure if Thinkware cam can capture up to your requirements or not. Moving object harder to capture since the lens focus tend to be static while our eyes focus is dynamic, hence it looks clearer when we focus on specific car/objects at night.

Just my thoughts. Well, there's always room for improvement. Imagine having OIS in dashcam and dual cam just like smartphones. Video recording might be superb !

Indeed. That's the challenge where the firmware needs to be able to identify where to focus.

But that's where it's the largest area needs to be improve over time.

Just wondering during its beep or the screen lifted up, did you notice if the recording resets back to 0.00 and start recording again?

My A129 currently does that and I'm still figuring out is it the firmware issue or my fuse tap from the ACC tapping into cigar fuse. It only happens during my idle-start-stop ignition

The cig port is working despite engine off during idle. So I'm still monitoring the recording to see if it's stopped. So far the recording is okay, just that some of the recording doesn't capture full 5 mins. It's probably less than that and it continues recording into a newer recording period time.


Maybe you can try set factory default settings the A129 and setup again. Worst case, reflash the firmware and also try a diff memory card.

A dashcam works in the same way like an insurance.
Good to have when you needed it.

The dashcam managed to allows me claim minor incident from RapidKL bender fender my car. A year ago.

Then a few times I've reported to JPJ WhatsApp on cars/trucks driving dangerously.

Recently, identify which 🐈 that scratches my car in the middle of night. Wasn't big issue, but aware at least.

Previously Viofo a119 V2, then upgrade to A129 Duo

Main factor would be pricing. Since it's just 4k recording. Currently 1080p from the A129 Duo never fails me so far when it comes to recording.

One thing I notice is that, when my car start it's engine after on stop ignition during idle, the camera screen awakes but luckily no recording stopped. It continues recording as usual.

Not sure if vibration awakes it, but upon checking the recording through app, the recording files aren't locked either. So it could be just vibration of the car awakes it but not strong vibration enough to lock the file.

I've set it to 3 minutes recording interval. So to my assumption, the first stage of low vibration wakes the screen and second stage of stronger vibration will trigger the current recording file to be lock.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hardly hear any Viofo fails here. Not saying it's perfect but it sure is pretty durable and reliable.

Correct. Check the pin as Kintos mentioned. My A119v2, I added some thick tape in between the GPS module and the dashcam to let it stays fit and not loose.

Apparently my A119v2 had slight gap, hence putting the double sided tap to solidify it. Anyways, no harm putting it and leave it there. Haha

Hopefully the good-ol tap solves your issue

During 9.9, A129 Duo grey pricing was quite attractive as well.

A129 Duo with GPS, lowest found is 380. After voucher.

Anyone using SanDisk A1 microSD cards for some period of time?

I am looking to purchase one of the A1 for dash cam. But still having slight doubts given its previously non-A1 recording issue

Noted. Have you consider warranty for the 128GB instead? Since it's still under warranty.

Then can safely purchase 128GB size.

I bought 200GB A1 SanDisk from Lzd for RM127 include shipping.

Will wait for the card and do some test run. A129 Duo will be able to record more parking stuff !
