New here to the forum. Child was recently in an accident and the VIOFO A129 Duo pro that was installed stopped recording 10 min before the accident and started recording in parking mode while the crew was cleaning up the scene.
Contacted VIOFO, basic response was sorry but it happens sometimes.
I'm wondering if anybody has any info on dash cams that are actually tested in accidents? Preferably head on collisions at 45+ MPH.
There are plenty of youtube review of how good the quality of the image is or how easy the dash cam is to use and install but all of that is useless if the video you NEED isn't recorded.
For those not familiar with this cam, it uses a capacitor not a battery. It was hardwired to the car battery. I used a 128 GB Sandisk High Endurance micro SD card (Designed for dash cams).
The card has aprox 3 weeks of video's on it in 1 min intervals. The driving footage of both the front and rear cam stop about 6 miles down the road witch is about 8-10 min with traffic.
I've tried 3 different data recovery applications and none have shown the lost 10 min before and including the accident.
