    Just saying thanks for a decent cam

    I am probably the least likely person to sing the praises of anything without spending at least a little time actually using and abusing the product, so you can take it for what it's worth that I am -- so far! -- quite happy with the 32gb Transcend card that came with this nifty little dashcam...

    Just saying thanks for a decent cam

    I just looked at my new Lexar cards and they are both "High Endurance". I was only mistaken about the 633x designation.

    Just saying thanks for a decent cam

    I think I have used this marvellous little dashcam long enough now to state the obvious: it's terrific! It performs all needed functions well and without fuss. The windshields on all three vehicles it is rotated through are pitted, scratched, cracked and in generally poor condition (common up...

    Just saying thanks for a decent cam

    Some here might know I owned a different dashcam recently and have returned it after finding it did not meet my needs. However I will NOT be returning my new Street Guardian! At least not unless it suffers some completely unexpected meltdown, which appears highly unlikely. After almost losing...

    A119S v2

    (sigh...) OK then, humour me: Lets see the unbiased, independent studies that show how Sandisk cards fail prematurely, under any circumstance. Didn't think so. All you have is anecdotal "proof"! This all rings of just so much brand tribalism. I'm sorry if I am getting more than a little tired...

    A119S v2

    The guy at a local electronics store yesterday swore that I should stay away from Lexar for the same reason. Another guy at another store said Kingston is evil and should be shunned like the plague. But with all due respect my friend, enough already with this distraction! I tend not to listen to...

    A119S v2

    I loaded the new firmware (1.2) before I even used it in anger. I have not checked if there is yet another firmware upgrade out, but it's no longer my problem. It's going back. But thank you very much for the suggestion! I am most grateful.

    A119S v2

    I have long ago come to grips with the pace of change in several industries, most notably very portable electronic devices. My experience has been that product testing has very much taken a back-seat and will soon not even be in the same car and instead dragged behind in a trailer! Soon enough...

    A119S v2

    Thanks for that SawMaster. Indeed there seems to be a fair amount of negative commentary here about Sandisk memory, however in 20+ years of buying memory I am yet to encounter a single problem with their memory products and I can say with confidence this card is performing as advertised. After...

    A119S v2

    What? I did a ton of research and the memory is working as it should.

    A119S v2

    Thanks for asking, but it's a new ScanDisk 128gb, initially formatted within the device as recommended. I have only had the cam for a little over 2 weeks and do not drive all that much really, so I doubt it needs reformatting already. It has not even started to loop over old video yet.

    A119S v2

    I forgot to say that I actually noticed the problem before coming here today. I put the cam in my other car this morning for the first time and noticed that the cam fails to capture a clear image of licence plates, faces etc on the left side, even at very close range. After since reviewing older...

    A119S v2

    I really ought to give the vendor a chance to make good, but should they fail to do so I will take your excellent advice. The order which included the A119s had been split up with parts going to different vendors. Being fairly new to Amazon I failed to realize there might be problems. Heck I...

    A119S v2

    Thanks for that Iggy, I will do just that. And no, I have not contacted the vendor. To be brutally honest my feeling is they should have contacted me. What an unfortunate situation. I am now not entirely sure I wish to get another Viofo...

    A119S v2

    How much will it cost me to send back the v1 I have had for only a week or so? I have to say I am a bit ticked that I even got the old version, which appears to have the blurry left side issue. edit: I just discovered there are many vendors for this item and my comment is likely misplaced here...

    Have A119S, will travel...

    Sorry for being so blasted slow to say thanks pal. I been running round like a headless chicken and succeeding almost as much. After a couple days in various light conditions I reckon a filter might be a good idea, even if the improvement is only slight. I do get a fairly decent amount of dash...

    Have A119S, will travel...

    I just flashed the firmware to 1.2. Piece of cake. A small annoyance to have to reprogram all the settings but no big deal really. I guess I'm gettin old cause I need reading glasses to see what I am doing. I went for a drive today, prior to the flashing and it did what it does very nicely...

    Hardwiring the A119S

    I am always amazed at how most folks are so ... well ... so freaked at wiring. I know people would be very comfortable channeling water and electricity is no different. The main difference is water does not catch fire but even then it is extremely easy to wire things up safely. Just remember two...

    Purchased new A119S. GPS doesn't locate satellites regularly.

    I am tempted to use your method to "mount" the wire regardless whether the GPS works. I find the top routing to be a pain the hind quarters...
