Hi all sifus

Need recommendation and suggestion for front and rear dashcam with super capacitor.
Budget less than RM 1000.

Currently thinking of Viofo A129 Duo (1080p) and Viofo A129 Plus Duo (2K).
Which one is better?
Or have other better option?

Thank you.

A129 Plus Duo is newer specs than A129 Duo.

Functions is about the same. Only the front cam resolution is 2K vs 1080p only.

Better durability if compared to China dashcams.

Premium dashcams like Thinkware have buffered parking mode which records 10s before and 10s after motion or impact detection.

More functions like ADAS, smart camera alerts, cloud, etc.

Anyway is like comparing a Perodua to Lexus. Both can get you from A to B. But Lexus has more functions.

Oh thank you sifu

Does it worth to take A129 Plus Duo instead of A129 Duo?
I saw A129 Plus Duo does get clearer scene than A129 Duo on youtube but it will consume more memory too

And i plan to get the CPL lens and parking mode hardware kit cable together too

Need suggestion from sifu
Thank you

For those whose car have Adas function, nonnit to get dvr with adas. It will only add more annoying beep and sound to the current car. Adas in dvr i would say wont work very well as they doesnt know if u r turning or not in lane keep assist.
Just get a basic one like Viofo A119V3 will do.

In my case, i switched off the lane keep assist in the dashcam, coz I already have that activated in my car.

It is annoying to have a notification everytime I change lanes.

However, I switched on the collision warning & "car in front has moved" function as a reminder for me not to drive too close to car in front & also not to be distracted in traffic jams & also traffic lights.

70mai ADAS is annoying as it is a voice notification.

Am using Thinkware ADAS and it's just tone notifications which are still ok.

Lane departure I can set it to activate when I reach 80kmph and above so won't annoy so much.

Same for me.
I switched off the LKA in my Thinkware F800 Pro, but I switched on the collision warning and car in front has moved notifications

FVDW so useful

Hi all, just want to know which SD card is recommended for a DDPai Mola N3 Dashcam? The official DDpai shopee sells the Sandisk Ultra (Non A1) class 10 Card.

I've actually shortlisted a Kingston High Endurance Card since i notice alot of the sifus here recommend a HE card for dashcam usage.

But I've messaged the DDpai Store asking if its suitable, they replied its 'not recommended', and suggested an 'original class 10 Sandisk' which i assume is the one they're selling.

Any advise?

Thanks!

Indeed bro.
Sometimes your mind is somewhere else when stop at traffic light
Better for the dashcam to alert you rather than wait for the car behind to sound their horn

Sandisk Ultra non-A1 is not recommended. Even now the Samsung Evo Plus newer models have slower write speeds

Unless you want to try with Sandisk Ultra A1. Or Sandisk HE cards as got 40mb/s write speed. Kingston HE only the 128GB is 45mb/s write speed.

Hahaha... Eyes looking elsewhere

For me, the very fact that the dashcam is recording continuously to memory every minute I'm on the road means a High Endurance sd is pretty much mandatory.
Especially when I'm using 4K recording which can get quite hot.

do you use the parking surveillance mode?
Thanks

How about SANDISK V30 U3 High Endurance Micro SD Card? I recently bought this 128GB card to go with my A129 4K.

I used to enable the motion sensor parking mode when I first got the car
But nowadays, I just enabled the parking incident mode, i.e. will record 10 seconds before and after impact, when car is parked

normally to enable this features need to cut wire and will void the warranty right?
Thanks

Do anyone know how much does accessories shop charge just for dashcam installation if i bring for them.

Nowadays using piggyback fusetaps so no need cut wires.
