VIOFO A129 Duo or Nextbase 512GW

[De Mote]

Can't seem to decide between these 2 dash cams. Think that one of the main things putting me off the Nextbase one is the burning in of the logo on the video files. Is there a Mac desktop app for the A129 for viewing the videos? What are peoples opinion between these 2 cams?

I can get the A129 with hardwire kit & filter from Amazon for £156. The 512GW would be £160 but without the rear cam, that would cost me an extra £50 (seen it for £30 on eBay).

As I say, what are peoples views of these dash cams?

Well, only one of those features on: https://dashcamtalk.com/best-dash-cams-of-2019/

And it does seem to have a rather good review: https://dashcamtalk.com/viofo-a129-duo/

Why pay more and receive less camera?

"Nextbase Tiffany" used to be very active here responding to owners concerns. Last month Tiffany asked to change her member name to "NextbaseSupport" and the last message posted from that account was Dec 21st. May be something to consider as well.

Yep, looks like the A129 Duo is the better option. Anyone know how easy it is to fit to a Vauxhall Astra?

If you use the car charger to power the camera, it is very easy, you can refer to: https://www.viofo.com/blog/detail/installation-guide-for-viofo-a129-duo-dash-camera.html
If you want to install hardwire kit, better go to the dashcam install shop.
