- Viofo A139 3CH, A139 2CH, Mobius w/ Varifocal Zoom
I did have 2 x Blackvue 590W-2CH (the older model) in a 4 channel setup. I got the blackvues refurbished used from ebay so it wasn't a huge amount of money.
I liked the Blackvues thin wires for the rear cameras, and it had a buffered parking mode.
Before that I had a pair of blueskysea B1W as side cameras.
I eventually bought 2 x Viofo A139 when they came out (I had issues with an A129 in the past but I thought I'd give them another chance). The blackvues were fine but the quality wasn't up to todays standards (especially night time)
My 2 A139s are still sitting in the boxes though and I am currently still running my A139 pre-production sample due to lack of free time!
As mentioned the advantage of the viofos is that with low-bitrate parking mode you can be sure you won't miss an event.
I also had some wedges 3d printed so I could angle the side cameras slightly forward (to compensate for them being mounted on the rear side windows)
Check out the thread Dashmellow linked, plenty of interesting ideas in that thread.
