    Beeping on bump won't turn off.

    When I hit a bump with the car, my A119 beeps three times and shows a yellow triangle. I turned off every impact detection option on the menu. I have the latest firmware. What do you think is happening?

    Parking mode sensitivity.

    I love parking mode, and it is part of the reason why I bought three more of these cameras. One thing - when the car is overnight in my garage the video motion detector does seem to trip from ambient light a bit more than what I think it should. Here is a lot of files made as light came through...

    Viofo Parking Mode new beta feature

    Both my new Audi A4 and Q7 were driven yesterday. Both have two A119 in parking mode. Just now I measured the battery voltage. A4 was at 12.18 and Q7 was at 12.28. So it seems like a 12.2 cutoff is reasonable. The A4 started right up.

    A119 Firmware

    Does the A119 have enough RAM to do a buffered parking mode? It would be nice to capture a few seconds of video from before motion detection. However, it is important to not cheat by using the memory card to store this buffer, as my whole reason for using the parking mode is to not wear out my...

    Mod to swivel the A119 to driver window?

    Maybe buy a A118C for each rear-triangle side window. But actually, I would just get A119 as they have the parking mode so you can leave it running and make the memory card last longer.

    A119 still considered one of the best purchases?

    SG9665GC is 1080P/30 while A119 is 1080P/60 and 2K/30. I could be wrong, but I think the only cameras that have a real automatic Parking mode are A119, some other cameras from that brand, and BlackVue. A119 has the parking mode so you can wire it with constant power and leave it on all the...

    A119 still considered one of the best purchases?

    A119 has real parking mode in the release 3.3 firmware that has been out for a few months, not just beta. A119 with 3.3, with motion detection OFF but parking mode ON, will watch the camera when parked. If it sees motion, it will record at the frame-rate that the parking mode is set to (I have...

    Two missing files...

    I took a random photo to show what happens when you double the resolution, then double it again. So perhaps if 2K went to 4K and then to 8K, that would be the improvement. Of course the lens would have to be good.

    Two missing files...

    Well I just replaced my 027s with these. 027 was 720P. Now I am at 2K. In a few years I guess I will be replacing these with 4K. Then 8K. Then it would look like a Coyote.

    Two missing files...

    Well there it is. In person I could easily see what it was. On camera there is no way to tell. I guess we need 8K cameras. The compression seems to be harming the image quality. It would be nice to have a higher bitrate setting.

    Two missing files...

    Wow. They are in the RO folder. Thanks. I can't remember if I pushed a button. I may have pressed the power button to wake up the display and see if it was recording.

    Two missing files...

    I am running 3.3 firmware. Today a Coyote ran in front of my car at 8:10 am, and when I got home, I looked at the files to find it. There are two missing files, and one of them has the footage on it. What could cause this? Is it more likely the camera froze for that long, or the memory card is...

    A119 Firmware

    First, it is really great that the A119 sets the time from the GPS. But it is about 1.3 seconds slow. I know it doesn't really matter, but may as well make it exactly on in the next revision.

    Viofo Parking Mode new beta feature

    I could 3D print an enclosure, but I will probably just wrap them with electrical tape. I will decide when I get them.
