- Viofo A119v1 > A129D > A119v3
Hi everyone!
Since 2016 I am using VIOFO A119 as a front camera. I really like it, as it works without any issues and VIOFO constantly improves the firmware. Not many companies are adding new functions (parking mode) after releasing the product to the market.
The biggest issue for me is the quality of the lens coatings (or lack of them?) as sun glare and flares in some conditions make the whole scene completely unreadable.
Currently, I am thinking what camera should I place on the rear.
I was going through many options, including action cameras but I feel that they are not built for this job.
On one point, I wanted to buy A119S as it claimed better night vision (my rear window is tinted). However, the sample videos I have seen do not convince me to pursue the purchase.
Now, as the A129 was released, the subject came back.
Thanks for stopping by.
I can't wait to hear your opinions.

- Shall I invest in A129 and replace A119 or should I keep A119 and purchase the second A119 for the back (or you would recommend another model/ brand/ configuration)?
- How A129 lenses behave in tough conditions? Are they any better than A119?
- Is an A129 a generally better product than A119?
- Prons and cons of 1440 vs 1080. I kinda like the idea that 1080p will stress memory card less and transferring/storing smaller files is a big plus for me but what about the quality of the picture?
