- Viofo A119 Mini 2 (front), Viofo A119V2 (rear)
Hi everybody,
It feels a bit like mission impossible after studying many dashcams but let's give it a try here.
My Viofo A119V2 (in the beginning I thought it was a V3, but the website information was not accurate I guess) is approaching end of life. USB connection gets buggy and night time footage has become grainy as hell.
Also, I feel a bit more secure with a rear dashcam as well. So now I am looking for a new 2CH dashcam that is not too pricey.
Since I like to watch my footage to relax and sometimes upload a video of a nice drive, I am looking for a very good product on the front.
This is what I am looking for:
* Front camera minimum 2K/1440p 30fps. Rear camera 1080p is OK, but quality/readability at night should not be very bad.
* Discrete front dashcam. Not too big as I want it to fit behind my mirror. A screen can distract me, so without a screen is good.
* CPL filter option
* GPS
* More contrast, color and sharpness than video from the 'average' Viofo dashcams, but not oversaturated
* Not too much distortion or fish eye effect
* A bit sustainable if possible
* No hardwire kit required
* Playback on Nokia Streaming Box 8000 possible, so files should be H.264, H.265 or HEVC
My budget is € 100 - 200 max. I live in the Netherlands so I would'nt buy something from USA because of high shipping costs.
Because there is a lot of Black Friday sale going on now, suggestions of dashcams € 200 - 300 are welcome too as they might be on sale.
I came across a few interesting dashcams, but I found some cons that made me think they are no match.
E.g. Vantrue E2 (too much distortion, frame drop),
Redtiger F9 (no samples found, CPL filter available not sure)
Azdome M300S (25fps, pixelated image)
And some other Chinese dashcams that seem to oversaturate or exaggerate colors of the video uncontrollably.
Who can give me a good advice?
