Anything i should be aware of as far as failures, issues? I remember i had to return my 119v1 because the camera was out of focus. My v2 looked marginally better and has never failed me.
Hi mms1361,
Only if you intend to get the A129 Duo eg with rear camera.
I also had the original A119 I had issues with it but
@viofo stepped up and replaced it.
From a support perspective I can't complain.
I also own a A129 Duo as I have always wanted a rear camera view and the A129 Duo fit the bill and budget.
The A129 Duo user a better camera to gps mount (no movement when pressing buttons) and the button layout looks tidy and easier to use.
The biggest issue is wifi.
Access can be difficult to enable/disable.
Leaving wifi on will lower the quality of the recording which is something you have to keep in mind. Basically switch it off.
Number plate reading will be similar to what you have.
GPS on all the Viofo dash cams I've used is less than ideal. Information on the video is slightly out eg not real time.
GPS unit sometimes drops out. You may have noticed on your current unit. I haven't worked out why sometimes it's fine and other times its not. And before others suggest some solutions it's not a weather issue or windscreen placement or a delay when unit first starts.
I did a review on the 129 Duo IR and in the video that's all pink you'll notice there's no GPS signal which I point to in the video. It seems an intermittent thing.
Even with these issues I think the A129 Duo video quality is good front and rear same resolution.
When I exclude the issues above I am happy with the unit.
New car new camera it's obvious. Get the 3 wire permanent power kit too
