- Viofo A229 Plus
Hi All,
I would like to ask a few questions on wiring up a Viofo cam, I found the Viofo store on Amazon and a A229 plus was £195 bare unit (£174 china) but I like the idea of redundancy and thought the 2x A119 mini 2 would be better but then direct from Viofo China the A229 2k looked a good idea, it shows a heat sink inside to help cooling? and one in front and one in back also give the option the internal camera inside from rear as I've seen in a post, also the larger screen when starting up is easier to see from the front along with fixing maximum bit rate. My house cameras are 4mp and they work great, so wiring questions:
1. I have a ciggy 12v connection inside the arm rest on my Qashqai that switches of after a few minutes when I leave the car so can I use the longer usb c to a data cable to power it if I don't need the parking mode by plugging both cables to one adapter.
2. If I go the hard wired mode for parking, Im hoping when routing I can find a spot for the 12v selector for the rear, fine for the front does anyone know what type of cable I would need to extend the power cable side.
3. Which is the best setting on the 12v selector for a car battery.
Again thanks for any advice.
