    Does credit card extended warranty apply to dashcams?

    Yes, I Try to use my American Express card In part because the process is so easy. The camera was something like $98, So they didn't Request a repair estimate. They just credited the amount To my account. When I had to have an Apple laptop repaired It was much more expensive, Like $375, Then I...

    Does credit card extended warranty apply to dashcams?

    Yes, I had a Viofo A119V1 where the Lens mount broke within the one year extended warranty period. The credit card company– American Express–reimbursed me after I sent them the receipt and the warranty information.

    A119V3 not starting up when the car is turned on

    I'm now using the cigarette adapter that came with that particular camera, and so far, over About 5 days, things seem to be going normally. I have had a few of their previous version adapters connect intermittently, so I do I know that they can go bad at some point — although why one of the two...

    A119V3 not starting up when the car is turned on

    Most of the time it's quite temperate here in Los Angeles, generally in the 60s during the day and low 50s at night. The car is in the garage as well, and while that's not heated directly it is usually in the 60s at the lowest, so I don't think it's Extreme cold or hot weather. At this point, as...

    A119V3 not starting up when the car is turned on

    Hello. I emailed you through the link for the product sale that said,"contact seller." I got a confirmation from Amazon that the email was sent, and they said to expect a reply within 24 to 48 hours. That was sent late on the 21st of January. Harry

    A119V3 not starting up when the car is turned on

    That sounds like a great idea. I've had a few of the adapters go bad on me in the past, even though they were provided with the cameras by the manufacturer. I will try switching it out and see what happens. Thanks.

    A119V3 not starting up when the car is turned on

    I've bought one in November of last year from OCD Tronic through Amazon, and have emailed them directly, but I haven't received a reply yet. Perhaps someone here has a good idea about the problem. Things seemed to be going fine for a while but lately, on at least three occasions that I am aware...

    A119 V.2 Almost All Smaller Newly Created files are Unreadable (Corrupted).

    That is an excellent point. I have been looking for an excuse to purchase a Viofo A119V3, and perhaps this is it. Thank you for your help!

    A119 V.2 Almost All Smaller Newly Created files are Unreadable (Corrupted).

    Thank you, that makes great sense. The camera is a little more then 2 years old and therefore out of warranty. Replacing the super capacitors sounds like an interesting idea, but probably above my pay grade. Turning it off before shutting down the power Is also a great idea. Thanks very much for...

    A119 V.2 Almost All Smaller Newly Created files are Unreadable (Corrupted).

    The REC button goes out immediately. I guess that means it's the capacitors. Thanks very much for the suggestion!

    A119 V.2 Almost All Smaller Newly Created files are Unreadable (Corrupted).

    With my current settings, a standard 3 minute file on the memory card is around 540 megabytes. Obviously, sometimes files aren't a full three minutes long. It seems that the camera is almost always creating unreadable files for the shorter segments–but the longer segments are readable and seem...

    How many of you run 2 front Cameras?

    Ever since one of my cameras wasn't recording properly, and didn't notify me of the problem, I've run two cameras in the front for well over a year now. Since it seems like approximately 85% of important data will come from the front, I feel more confident that I will have at least one good...

    Cutting Mount Down Length Wise

    Thank you for that, that's good to know. I asked my master mechanic, someone I've known and trusted for many years, about the defroster wires and he stated quite plainly that he strongly recommended against it – he said the wires could be damaged., He further said that if at all possible, avoid...

    Cutting Mount Down Length Wise

    I set up the mount on the seat using a garmin attachment on both my cars. Pics above. The suction mount included with the Garmin did not stay very well, and therefore I had to use a fixed mount which was attached to a disk taped to a spot on the rear seat area. The Garmin mount made it easy to...

    Are there any decent quality USB A to Micro B cable manufacturers?

    I agree with the MONOPRICE Recommendation. I've been using their cables for 5 cameras for over 1 1/2 years and have never had any connection issues/problems.The original equipment Viofo cables left much to be desired. One of them even fragmented and came apart at the time of a minor accident...

    Are people using the EVA Foam Pads for VIOFO A119, and if so have they helped?

    I just got my V.2 Cameras which comes with the EVA foam pads. Are people using them? Are they helpful? It seems like they do nothing to improve the connection between the GPS unit and the camera in Version 1, but may help to stabilize the connection for better video quality. What has been your...

    Selling accident video

    A friend of mine asked me a question about selling video. I didn’t have a good answer, so I thought I would ask the group. If you happen to capture an accident on your camera what should people do? Should they offer to provide it free of charge to the party NOT at fault in the accident...
