- Viofo A119 Mini, Viofo A119 V3, Viofo A119S V2
I decided to purchase/install an A119V3 with official HK3 wiring today, relegating my 2½ year old A119S (which has operated flawlessly) to the rear window.
So I've had it running continuously for several hours in buffered parking mode, mounted just below my rear vision mirror, in my garage.
The temperature in my garage is currently a little over 33ºC (91.4ºF) and the windows of my car are closed.
I took several temperature readings of the A119V3 from several points of the body.
The lowest section of the case had the lowest temperature of 36.3ºC (97.34ºF).
I took measurements slowly from top to bottom and I found the hottest part of the case was actually the very top centre of the LCD screen which registered 46.5ºC (115.7ºF).
I suspect that they may be using the LCD as a heatsink for the main processor, but that's just my speculation.
I thought I would share this info in case other owners needed it.
Cheers, Mario
