Hi Folks,
As I posted over at Reddit , our A119S units have been unfortunately terrible from a reliability standpoint since we purchased them last year. The SD card brand and type didn't seem to matter, nor the weather: they last about 2-4 weeks before something gets corrupted and the menu becomes inaccessible, small fragments of videos may or may not be created, they lose prior settings, etc. Meanwhile, the cards would still read and write well in other devices or computers, except once in awhile something in their file system would be so munged up that it required a format to clear things. The A119S would be unusable even just swapping with a known, good SD card from the other unit - it would always require a new firmware reinstall to get going again.
The video quality was great when they actually did work, but when I really needed a dashcam replay for a recent event, my car's A119S had silently failed again. That was the last straw and I decided to no longer put up with our A119S problems.
Any recommendations for a similar level of low-light video quality in a more reliable model/brand, please?
I have a hard-wired hookup for the USB power today, but can change that out if necessary. I don't need 2 channels, but that could be fine if the model is of good quality.
