Should not have any issue with v1.1. Could you try resetting to factory default and set again?

But mine I set the frequency at 60Hz and 1 min loop recording. That's the only difference.

Also, lower the camera angle if you can, so can see the bonnet a bit more.

You can liaise with the seller for replacement. Len focusing alignment issue. If you have issue with the seller, let me know.

After lower the angle 1 click down, the dashboard reflection is even worst.

Looks like 2 clicks down instead of 1 click down from previous videos.

Like what KIntos said contact the seller you bought the A129 Pro from and get a replacement unit for lens out of focus issues.

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

Bitrate settings

There are 4 bitrate settings that you can set on the A129 Pro. Below is the information for H.264 & H.265 encoding for the 4 bitrate settings.

H.264 Low bit rate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 15.3 Mb/s. 110MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 10.3 Mb/s. 73.9MB per 1min file.

H.264 Medium bit rate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 30.3 Mb/s. 217MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 12.4 Mb/s. 88.8MB per 1min file.

H.264 High bitrate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 42.4 Mb/s. 303MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 14.3 Mb/s. 102MB per 1min file.

H.264 Maximum bit rate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 60.3 Mb/s. 431MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 16.2 Mb/s. 116MB per 1min file.

H.265 Low bit rate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 13.7 Mb/s. 97.7MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 8,665 kb/s. 62MB per 1min file.

H.265 Medium bit rate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 22.4 Mb/s. 160MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 10.3 Mb/s. 73.9MB per 1min file.

H.265 High bitrate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 34.5 Mb/s. 247MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 12.4 Mb/s. 88.8MB per 1min file.

H.265 Maximum bit rate
Front cam: 3840×2160 30fps – Overall bit rate: 52.4 Mb/s. 375MB per 1min file.
Rear cam: 1920×1080 30fps – Overall bit rate: 14.5 Mb/s. 104MB per 1min file.

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.

To me nothing can be done on setting. It's clearly Len focusing issue. In your night mode, look at the light flare from traffic light and tail lamp. It's so blur/bokeh on the light flare.

No worry, it's just need to replace the front camera. Your rear camera is working fine.

But light flares can also be caused by windscreen tint hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

Anyway, think schuessler has contacted Sicurez about the issue.

If you understand bokeh, you will notice the bokehness on the light flare. It's defocusing on light flare. So meaning the lens focusing is on narrow depth of field.
