The VIOFO I have is the A119v3 and at the time it was the best cam for clarity.
To get it out in the open early doors for any skim readers - my priority is evidence & identification. I'm not in to making beautiful videos etc. My dash cam is purely to identify the guy who hit me & did a runner for example & as we're on the move then having the best chance of making out a moving license plate is absolute top priority.
I had one near miss a few years ago where someone was nailing it over the brow of a hill as I was coming up it & they had to swerve out of the way as they were on my side of the road. They narrowly missed me & when I pulled the SD card to get their plate, even when I went frame-by-frame it was just useless. Maybe these new cams would've also failed in that situation but I want the best chance.
It's been some time since I looked at the A129 series & I can't remember which is best for clarity. From memory it wasn't the most expensive but the middle of the road one?? That was before the A139 came out (told you it was some time ago). IIRC 4k may sound great but it didn't produce the best results with my criteria - 2k was better??
* I also don't know if firmware updates have changed anything across the board or not (such as making ones that were once not as good just as good as dearer ones?).
So I was just wondering, going purely front & rear setup, which would be the better choice cam where identifying other vehicles is the priority - the A139 or one of the A129 series?
* I'm hoping 2 singular A119v3s isn't the answer as I prefer 1 cam to do all.
** Oh and I would prefer a parking mode option.
From looking at that link, some units offer "parking mode" some offer "buffered parking mode" and some offer "advanced buffered parking mode" - (according to the brief summary at the start of each link). Whether they all offer the exact same parking mode or not, I don't know.
