Saw the ddpai mini5 selling at RM600 at lazada official store, which i think consider reasonable price for "branded" dash cam and 4K recording

How does the ddpai mini5 stack up with viofo a129 / a119V3? which is more worth, ddpai or viofo?

Parkinf mode "lose" meaning? Whats the difference between viofo and ddpai parking mode?
I only see viofo win in the sense of extra few hundred can get viofo a129 duo with front and back cameras

Any comment on this windscreen dashcam?

Ya salah cakap, is rearview mirror dashcam
Ya the price drop so low to Rm400 liddat, thats why wondering how is the quality of this dashcam brand, and at least the camera is at the centre not on the left side

Just installed the Viofo duo plus as per recommendations of blurjoey at Sicurez. They recommended me Viofo too as im not looking for many fancy features or great parking mode like Thinkware

Later when i reached home, i just realised like my parking mode not working properly. After off car engine, the Viofo enter parking mode (can see the car symbol on screen and the recording light is red). Then few minutes later after the screen off, the recording light is constantly flashing red (like not recording) and even after i on my engine the viofo like "fails to boot". I had to cabut the usb cable and wait for the unit to power off and sambung balik the cable to on the unit.

Is there something wrong with the hardwire kit? Or defect with the viofo unit? Or some setting done wrongly? Im using "buffered parking mode"

Nope not yet.
I checked online, and apparently the “buffered parking mode” for the a129 duo plus seems to have issues
I tried and changed to “time lapse” today and so far everything smooth without problems
I guess its really software issue / bug which might need fixing in future updates?

Ya i guess the Mola N3 is really a good buy for dash cam if you are only looking for traffic recording without the additional features
Super capacitor battery type dash cam for cheap price

Im using the A129 plus Duo and serving me well so far.
I didnt opt for 4K dashcam as I heard the dashcam will run very hot if recording 4K resolution, so i stick with 2K recording

Anyone know where to buy the electrostatic sticker for cheap?
Last time it used to be like Rm15 for 5 pieces, and now i see on shopee is RM10+ for 1 piece

I do have a used unit for the A129 Plus Duo if you are interested to purchase

Bukan no good, i changed my headunit player to kenwood, the player came together with the kenwood N520 dashcam as well.
I can say that the recording quality of the A129 is way better than this N520, on top of that got back camera. Somore previously the back camera help me to record one case where the guy langgar my car bumper at traffic light :haha:

I just opted for integration with my headunit for the dashcam, thats all. Not bcos of no good, in fact i think is very good camera for the price paid

Can consider Viofo, it falls in ur budget of < RM1k and cover all your requirements.
Though i wouldnt opt for 4K resolution, only stick to 2K as 4K reso dashcams will run very hot

128GB will be enough, the videos will keep overriding themselves when full
Make sure u get a Class10 SD card
Previously I didnt opt for the CPL filter as i heard from the installer said it might affect the recording slightly during night time

As for the super capacitor thing, it has nothing to do with it being enough or not? It does not act like a powerbank where it will store power for consumption. The recorder needs to be either plugged in the cigarette port or hardwired to the fuse box for it to work. Since you do not plan to enable parking mode, so plugging it into the cig port is sufficient and nothing to do with supercapacitor being enough or not

Want to ask which thinkware model is better?
The Q800 Pro of the F790?

So technically the Q800 is still better in the sense it can take clearer / sharper videos with 2K reso

I personally would record at 2K 60fps because:
1. i prefer higher framerates, video recorded is smoother
2. recording video at 4K will significantly heat up the dashcam, plus our weather during hot afternoon is damn hot, and ur car tint is also absorbing the heat from the sun. Hot dash cam + hot weather + hot tint = ..... not good?

any review for the A139 viofo dashcam?

and the 70mai M500?

The M500 looks promising for the price and the features

Main drawbacks i see is:
1.Not super capacitor
2.Wifi only on 2.4 ghz
3.No rear dashcam support

Though the parking record mode dunno can compare to Viofo or not

4G lagi best, tak payah pakai wifi can become "security camera" :haha:
Too bad its only 1 channel, dont have rear cam if not it will be very good buy

Uishh jgn lah compare thinkware with 70mai..
One is premium level and one is mid level only, though the M500 is priced quite cheap for what it can do
