I've gotten my a139pro 2CH dashcam with hardware kit back in mid November 2023 and have been plagued with issues ever since.
1) [Manageable problem] Parking auto detection mode - Came to learn that it records EVERYTHING. Including light flickering. So its not really that "smart". To caveat this, i've set to low bit rate recording. Good to have - if there is some AI capability for human or impact only.
2) [Resolved] Camera goes into constant beep mode. Recordings are missing although the voice notification is saying "2 CH recording started". Its a so called "Fake recording". Was using original Viofo 256gb SD card and followed the troubleshooting steps to format. Doesnt work. Ended up purchasing a Sandisk max endurance 256gb and was working for 3 weeks until hardware issue came in point #3.
3) [Unresolved] Dashcam keeps going into a restart loop. Attempted several troubleshooting
a) Tried 3 different SD cards.
b) Tried to flash the firmware.
c) Tried a different USB C power source.

Viofo support ticket: #136291
Reached out to Viofo support and they mentioned the front camera maybe faulty(just 1.5 months of usage?) and wanted me to send it back to China for inspection.
4) [Manageable problem] Hardware kit set to disable at 12.4v however it still continues to drain the battery. I disabled parking mode during certain periods.
