Don't expect the A129 Pro to provide daytime parking mode in Australian heat, otherwise it should work well, doesn't seem to suffer significant focus shift in hot conditions. If you are worried about heat then you could go for the single channel version and use a seperate (old?) dashcam for the rear.with the Australian heat
Thanks, this might be tricky to hardwire with two seperate dashcams.Don't expect the A129 Pro to provide daytime parking mode in Australian heat, otherwise it should work well, doesn't seem to suffer significant focus shift in hot conditions.

You can wire two hardwire kits to the same fuse tap.Thanks, this might be tricky to hardwire with two seperate dashcams.
The lens will be fine with the camera off, and if you leave the camera on then it will protect itself by shutting down during the heat of the day.I might disable parking recording in summer via the dashcam settings due to the heat, I take it the camera lens wont warp if the camera is off - even if the internals of the vehicle are in excess of 75 degrees C?
No, you will want to use the Viofo HK3 hardwire kit if you want to use parking mode.EDIT: Since I want the rear duo version (front and rear) perhaps an OBD connector would be better, as it has a switch to disable parking recording very easily? https://www.amazon.com.au/Camera-Charging-Adapter-Switch-Button/dp/B01H38IO86
Ok good to know, I will get the HK3 then.You can wire two hardwire kits to the same fuse tap.

The parking mode can easily be disabled in the menu or in the phone app, or on a one off basis by pressing the power button to shut the camera down, it will start up again by itself next time you start the car so no possibility of forgetting to turn it back on, which is what would happen with OBD power.
Before upgrading to A129 Pro, I was using Thinkware f800. The feature that I miss the most is the verbal notification Thinkware provided if there was any incident that triggered the g-sensor while in parking mode. Super-duper useful. I would love to see that feature in Viofo dash cams.Thank you for your attention,
at present, we only have some Beta firmware to refine its performance like night vision, not many new features added,
what new features do you expect?
