    Travel dashcam - suction mount

    I looked into the e1 and like the size, but I’m concerned with quality. Also read that you can’t use usbc to usbc cable to power the camera. It has to be usb a to c. All new cars have usb c and slowly phasing usb a. There’s garmin but I’m not paying that price The viofo vs1 features and...

    Travel dashcam - suction mount

    For years I’ve been using the SG SG9665XS which died recently. I travel for work and in rental cars. I want to replace it with a single channel quality camera with a suction mount. I looked through viofo’s models, but none have suction mount. Edit: I see the garmin mini 2, not too fond of the...

    Any good quality rear view mirror dash cams?

    I've seen ads on IG for a few brands and when I research, nearly all of them do not have technical specs disclosed on their website. Are there any good quality mirror cameras out there? I like the idea of having a true 4K 2-ch frame less rear view mirror that can utilize existing power.

    Dash cam over five years old and still operating flawlessly. What are your results?

    Until about 4 months ago I still had the SG Panorama working flawlessly. Bought it when it was released, I think the model # was SGZ12SS Pro. Replaced it with the last 2K SG cam. I still use the SG SG9665XS as my travel dash cam.

    Viofo HW Kits

    I have the red wire going to an always on fuse. I have the yellow wire connected IIRC to the stereo fuse. I also checked using a 12v tester. additionally, when I switch my car off, the A139pro voice prompts it’s in parking mode. When I switch the key on or start the car it prompts again that...

    Viofo HW Kits

    I've made it my mission to get my family dashcams and install it for them. Four, A229 Duo, two A139pro and one, A119 mini 2. All of them were purchased with their respective HW kits to enable parking mode. I set them all to 12.4v In two cars I have the a139pro and one with a229 duo and my...

    Any new development or dash cam in the works?

    I think it's obvious and unfortunate that SG is no more. Although I was a big fan starting from the Panorama model, there are no updates, limited form factor, complicated model numbering and higher price point is not viable.

    REVIEW: Viofo A139 Pro vs 70mai A810 Comparison

    The lack of a capacitor is a deal breaker for me. Those small batteries will die and cause problems.

    Yup. Eventually find my way to that page and it made sense. Just had to switch cellular off. So far quite happy with the camera.

    Recommended Settings

    Just installed today. Took some time to adjust everything. I’ve downloaded the latest firmware and will be installing in the morning. I know this will reset my settings. The iOS app shows a black screen when trying to preview live. I’m anticipating the firmware update will resolve this. What...

    What happened to these brands and how are they holding up today?

    In curious too. The mini series had so much potential. I had a couple VicoVations as well and no nice things to say about them.

    Viofo direct shipping- 3 weeks to the USA?

    It’s shipping from China. They don’t have inventory stateside yet which is why you don’t see it listed on Amazon either.

    Viofo A139 pro // accessories // screw mounting bracket

    I’m interested in this. Where is it sold?

    Dual remote version?

    I share many of the same sentiments here. I can no longer recommend SG mainly due to the huge price increase. I recently purchased VIOFO and it’s nice, but I don’t get the same confidence I did with with SG. With SG I knew it was tested and good firmware with release of a new cam. You can’t...

    No satisfying quality A139 pro (where are licences plates?!)

    I’m interested in lens replacement. Do you have any threads on this or how to? I wonder what improvements can be had with this cam… would firmware have to be tweaked or is this more like better “glasses”?

    No satisfying quality A139 pro (where are licences plates?!)

    They have come very far. First dashcam was a blackview with translated firmware from a specific eBay seller. now that dashcama are so commercial, ads everywhere and big brand names making them I hope to see big changes In terms of better lens.

    WiFi expectations

    Hey folks, is waiting more than 15 mins the norm to transfer a 3min (~890MB) file from the app? Using a stopwatch it took 2m 40s to go from 10% to 20% and then it took 3m to go from 20% to 30%. This doesn’t seem right. I made sure to choose 5GHz from the camera menu, connected from the app and...

    Linus tech tips on dashcams.

    Other than Starvis 2 coming up, any updates coming to Novatech or anything major? Seems like you have a lot of trash/fake dashcams and then the more reputable brands, but they're just adding feature after feature while still using the same parts for what seems like the last 2 - 4 years.
