How do you rate the A129 compared to the DR02 D ?
AUKEY DR02 D:
Pros:
- daylight image quality - excellent
- design - connectors placement - they point straight to the car's roof making it easier to run the cables
Cons
- night time image suffers quite badly under yellow street lights
- the GPS module is separate - another wire to take care of
- front camera videos stutter every second (which is strange, as the rear camera doesn't have this issue)
- the front camera lens doesn't stay still and tends to vibrate if you mount the CPL. The same goes for the mount - I felt it a bit flimsy
- no mounting points for the CPL on the rear camera
- no parking mode
VIOFO A129
Pros:
- daylight image quality - excellent
- night time - very good
- Wi-Fi & VIOFO App
- Bluetooth button - what a useful little device!
- build quality - much better than DR02
- parking mode
- supported by Dashcam viewer
Cons:
- USB and rear camera connectors placement - WHY? Nobody runs the cable to the sides! In my case, the central mirror is located a bit to the right so I need to mount the camera to the left side of that mirror. That makes me run the cables a bit forced and no matter what I do, it doesn't look good...
- VIOFO App needs more development. I will post a list of things that need fixing.
Other than that, I don't see any other issue that cannot be fixed by a better firmware.
