Dear Viofo,
Now that Vantrue has E1 Pro with IMX678 can you upgrade A119 Mini 2 with IMX678?
Optional Suction Mount for rental car use would be nice too.

Obviously if they decide to stick with the same form factor that's going to be the case, since imx678 is popping up everywhere on redtiger Wolfbox 70mai Vantrue etc etc
 
Dear Viofo,
Now that Vantrue supports 1TB Micro SD Card with Vantrue Brand Card can you support 1TB Micro SD Card with Viofo Brand Card?

Panzer ... instead of attempting to publicly shame VIOFO, repeatedly, you could just simply email them a suggestion. Or, you could start your own dash cam manufacturing company.

You continue to publish a list of vanity requests to VIOFO about your wants, if VIOFO is falling that short of your expectations, maybe you should use a different brand of dash cams.

Actually no problems for Viofo dashcams to support 1TB cards, as we know, the bigger capacitor memory card is not stable, and that's why we don't recommend it.
If you have a 1TB memory cards, you can just use it on Viofo dashcam directly.

Will you lock out certain cards though with Slow Card errors etc

Thank you for the reply, but I do not understand your answer.
Let me rephrase;
1.) When will Viofo offer an Official Viofo Brand 1TB Micro SD Card? 2025? 2026?
Vantrue has this capability now.

Sorry @viofo , when will you support 2TB microSD memory cards because there are SanDisk cards available now, and Chuck won't stop bothering you with these demands.

Thought I would get in early before 2026, which is when he is anticipated to start asking.

Simply put, VIOFO does not recommend the 1TB card, therefor, if they do not recommend it they are very unlikely to offer it for sale as a VIOFO branded item.

I have just searched vantrue.net and did not find a microSDXC card larger than 512GB offered on their site. In fact, the N5 page shows an 'external' memory max of 512GB. Looking on the Amazon Vantrue storefront I see nothing listed larger than 512GB.

Where did you get your graphic from?

I love the compact size of the VS1, I would love to see a version 4K version with super night vision. The video is too dark in poorly lit areas especially during parking mode. Also any other improvements would be great as well.

For the A329S and the other variants need an option to enable SNV for other modes. Only having it for Timelapse 1fps only sucks.

Super Night Vison is a great feature, but the trouble with 1 FPS is that it makes the 1-minute loop recording cover a 30-minute period, making it harder to tell where in the video to look for the event that put it in the RO folder. It would be nice if there were some indicator of when events happen, if not a voice notification or beep, then a text log file, or bookmarks (chapter marks) in the video. It would also be handy to be able to switch to Super Night Vision automatically when it is too dark to see anything, so as not to get just a black screen.

I don’t use Timelapse for this reason, but if they were to implement a feature like the Vueroid D21 to automatically switch to normal recording during an event would great. I’m not sure if the new hybrid mode addresses this
