H.265 is just the video encoding. Nothing to do with the blur videos.

H.265 will use less space compared to H.264 but with the same video quality for both.

Below from my A129 Pro Duo review: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4853331

Just contact Sicurez and they will exchange the unit as it is under their 1 year 1 on 1 exchange warranty.

Noticed the night videos are recorded in 1440p 60fps? Not 4K 30fps?

Anyway just bring back the A129 Pro to Sicurez...

Did you try resetting back to factory default and test with Medium or High bitrate with 1 min loop with the rest as default?

The videos in your google drive looks very clear.

Anyway, tomorrow contact Sicurez and see what they say.

It depends on the individual. Some want the clear video of the 4K while some can live with 1080p only.

Anyway, Viofo A129 Pro is 1 of the 3 dashcams with true 4K. The other 2 is from Thinkware and Blackvue.

Ok. Just stick with 1 min file at 4K at High bitrate and see how 1st. Try not too much variations.

But light flares can also be caused by windscreen tint

Anyway, think schuessler has contacted Sicurez about the issue.

Not familiar with bokeh as not into photography

Afraid that's the downside of CPL filter to remove the glare. Same as polarized sunglasses.

1) No need...

2) No it won't as the ciggie port doesn't have power when the engine is off...
