- Viofo A119 preproduction unit, DailyRoads Voyager @THL 5000
Did new tests, some suggestions:
- after I connected Viofo to my pc/smartphone using usb cable (mass storage mode), I get a sd format request on next Viofo start up. Why? I would like to view my video without formatting the sd card
- when Viofo asks for sd formatting and you do nothing, Viofo doesn't start recording. User could not see that alert and so user doesn't know Viofo isn't recording. IMHO Viofo should start recording 10 seconds after the format request or at least loudly beeping
- I recorded with 5 minutes loop video. Then I set loop video to off. So, in my sd card I have some 5 minutes length videos and 1 big files. During recording my sd has become full. Viofo stops recording (file was well closed) and start beeping. I think this should never happen. Stop recording while a user is driving is never a good option for a dashcam. Firmware should try a set of actions to continue recording, as remove older files to get free space. Also when recording with loop video option set to off a file should never be bigger than half of the total sd size, so Viofo can always delete old files and continue recording.
