Hello everyone.
My ~2 year old A119 V2 died recently (switched off while driving at night, and doesn't turn on anymore at all) and I'm looking to get a 2 channel dashcam.
I had my eyes on the A129 Plus Duo for it's apparent low light capability, since I don't really need 4k.
However due to logistic issues, the local dealer is unable to source the Plus Duo and is offering me the Pro Duo for the same price.
So I'm in a bit of a conundrum:
1) When people say a Pro Duo runs hotter, does it mean it operates at higher temperature than 1440p ones, or that it actually shuts down a lot in higher ambient temperatures? I don't want it dying out while I'm out driving.
2) Will the Pro Duo run cooler if I record in 1440p? Summers can get pretty hot here in southern India. (The A119 V2 never shut down though)
3) Are there any little known firmware bugs with the Pro Duo? Recently, I learnt the A119 V3 not saving the previous file when manually pressing the lock button
4) Does the Pro Duo overheat and shutdown often in Parking Mode? (Air con off, under the sun scenario)
5) Viofos in general are overpriced here. I'm partial to them because of their screen and buttons: don't need an app to make quick settings change. If I disregard those criteria, are there any other dashcams worth considering that compare to the A129's video quality and parking mode operation?
Thank you.
