Anyway fair decision from viofo to keep performance optimal by having it behave like this.

But in what situation would you need to download that many videos but need to be driving?Ad downloading/driving: What if one needs to download multiple videos and don't have time to wait stationary or without recording until it downloads them (even one video with few hundreds MB will take a bit of time at few MBps speed)...
I still can't wrap my head around this "recording vs setting/downloading" concept.
If one is an asshole, you won't prevent the use of a phone during drive anyway. And i doubt any of you do like self-proclaimed defenders of the law on the road as well so let police do their work...
I would swear that... Ok, sorry about that then.I made no such statement about wifi being on all the time being unsafe or otherwise, must be someone else's horses you're looking for
My 32GB class 6 card works fine as a second card, probably wasn't all that cheap, but its current value is not much above zero! You do not need the latest and fastest U3 card for use as a spare, my spare has no U rating and still copes with maximum bitrate. Make sure you do test the spare, but it only needs to work, slow read speeds are not an issue.or swap SD cards so you can download later because if you can afford the A139 then you can afford a second card
The situation with driving and downloading was an example and just a reaction to "using a phone during drive" discussed before. The thing which bothers ME most is that i have to stop recording, check videos or change settings and then resume the recording. And if something hapens while one browses in the app, it won't be recorded. Not to mention Viofo app (or dashcam itself, don't know) sometimes resumes recording by itself which interrupts the viewing/changing settings and the whole process needs to be done again... (at least in case of my two A129Pros)There is no need to be downloading and recording at the same time, nor does the hardware we have available in dashcams today allow for that to happen without losing a lot of something in the process. If you feel a need to do this, then you are not handling the situation correctly. Either download or drive, or swap SD cards so you can download later because if you can afford the A139 then you can afford a second card

Viofo said hardwire kit released next week. General FYI.
So who do folks purchase their VIOFOs from these days?
I usually buy my Dash Cams from Rick @ Dashcams Central up in Sydney ... only his website has been under maintenance for quite a while now so no idea whether he's still in the Dashcam business or not..? Doesn't appear so.
My Viofos are still working fine ... only considering which to get once needing a replacement.
Have an A119 VIOFO Pro up front and an A119S rear. Thinking perhaps a A119V3 if replacing 1 ... or the A129 Plus Duo.
The A129 Plus Duo doesn't rate the highest ... only to my eyeballs ... has the clearest quality daytime and good night-time video.
or is the new A139 all the rage?
it's Chris from Dashcams Central, he's a member here but hasn't been online for a while https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/dashcamscentral-dod-and-viofo-specialists.11425/ not sure if he is still in the business or not, there are other sellers in Australia if you don't have any luck getting a hold of ChrisSo who do folks purchase their VIOFOs from these days?
