Viofo A119MPro Review
Viofo kindly supplied the unit for this review.
Viofo has been in the dashcam game for a while now and they continue to push the limits. This is great for the consumer, as it forces other designers to stand up and take notice of their work.
Design and functionality
Viofo has somehow managed to squeeze into this small package a feature rich unit.
It is a single channel with the Sony 4K IMX678 sensor and HDR which is also used in their high end units including the A329S.
More specifically the sensor technical info is Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 (1/1.8'' 8MP) which you only find on high end dashcams.
The resolution is in line with this sensor 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160p) @ 30fps with a FOV or Field of View of 140° (degrees)
The aperture of the A119Mpro is stated as F1.8 and will help in low light conditions.
The A119Mpro also has built in wifi 6 @ 2.4 and 5 GHz.
The quoted input power for this unit is DC at 2 Amps.
Build Quality and Installation
The A119M Pro is a discreet unit that manages heat dissipation effectively. It utilises the conventional Viofo mounting method: a static sticker is applied to the windscreen, followed by the GPS mount secured with high-temp tape.
The installation is straightforward.
The package includes a cigarette lighter adapter (CLA) with two USB-A ports.
The supplied USB-A to USB-C power cable is 3.5 metres (approximately 11.5 feet) in length and is rated to handle the 5V / 2A power requirement, providing enough length to allow it the cable to tucked into the trim.
Like all the Viofo dashcams that I have tested and use on a daily basis it is a well built with the shell having a quality feel to it.
As of writing this review the price is
AUD $272.00, USD $169.99 (Price can vary so do a check)
USD or AUD? $169.99 Regular price$189.99 Save 11% (10-Apr-2026
Unfortunately they seem to have removed the currency indicator.

I use the supplied electro static sticker applied to the windscreen as it makes installation much easier and also gives me the ability to remove and reapply if done carefully which is what a first time dashcam owner will appreciate.
Once installed on the windscreen it is possible to remove the main unit as it unclips from the supplied GPS mount. Another useful feature for someone who is not keen on leaving their dashcam in their car.
Courtesy of Viofo this image shows what the A119M Pro Kit has in it.
You will need to purchase a memory card before you can use the unit.
Connection:
Viofo has standardised on USB-C type connectors and the A119MPro follows this direction.
Talking about connection Viofo request that you don’t use a mobile phone charger or power cable with this camera.
Many problems customers have during dashcam installation often are because they are not using what the manufacturer supplied or have made a mistake installing the dashcam, so it doesn't surprise me to see this message in the user manual.

Ease of Installation
Because it is a single unit only one cable is required which is supplied.I use the supplied electro static sticker applied to the windscreen as it makes installation much easier and also gives me the ability to remove and reapply if done carefully which is what a first time dashcam owner will appreciate.
