Reddit reviews Viofo A119 1440P 30fps Car Dash Camera (V2 Model) + 90 Degree miniUSB Adapter

And get a fucking dashcam! For all those people (hopefully in the minority on this sub) that don't yet have one. Viofo A119 is like $89, way cheaper than any insurance issues you'll have

I uploaded a video the other day and left my SD card at home. The next morning when I went to work my A119 was chirping at me the entire way to warn me I didn't have a card installed. Of course on my way home I had some asshole run a red light and missed me by about a foot. I have like a 2 mile drive home and nearly got T-boned.

Buy a fucking dashcam, check it regularly to make sure it works. A118, A119, G1W-C or whatever the newest model is. It'll save you so much headache in the long run.

There are several A119 v2s

• This one is A119 v2 - EVA Black foam pads I think. Standard A119 v2 with or w/o GPS. ($85-102 USD) Sold by USA Retailers Depot
  
  
• This one is A119 v2 No GPS - No EVA Foam Pads ($80 USD) Sold by Spy Tec
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS - No EVA Foam Pads ($89 USD) Ships from and sold by Adorama Camera.
  
  
• This one is A119 v1 No GPS for some reason - I wouldn't really purchase A119 v1 any more. - No EVA Foam Pads ($82 USD) Sold by BAIKLOV
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS + Hardwire kit cheap + Black EVA Foam pad (very nice) + Micro SD card 64gb (very nice) - This is actually a good deal. ($124 USD) Sold by BAIKLOV
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS Black EVA Foam pad ($90 USD) Sold by BAIKLOV
  
  
• This one A119S v2 With GPS or w/o GPS - Different Dash cam, supposed to be improved over the A119 v2, I think it failed to live up to expectations. Black EVA Foam pad ($95- 110 USD) Sold by OCD Tronic
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS + Black EVA Foam pad +90 Degree miniUSB Adapter - This is a want for many. W/o the GPS module the straight USB adapter is less than discreet. ($84 USD) Sold by Capture Your Action
  
  
• Edit>>> This one is A119 v1 - Mislabeled on website - Possibly on purpose mislabeled - very fishy. This one A119 v2 With GPS ($80 USD) Sold by BlackboxMyCar - This one lacks the Black EVA foam pads, and pads appear to be Grey - This was a major complaint by many A119 Users.
  
  -----------
  
  Some have the Black Foam pads, which was a major want from A119 users since A119 v1. - More discreet, and foam pad absorbs vibration. Some are good deals, others are meh.
  
  90 degree adapter is only important if you don't use GPS mount. However, this was a major complaint from A119 v1 users having to use (side) dash cam power port - Not discreet, instead of (top) GPS mount power port - Discreet.
  
  Anyways, Different retailers, different No GPS/GPS, and different extras.

BlackSys CH100B. It's a 2-channel (front and rear) with Wifi, which allows me to view the videos instantaneously via its iPhone App. It was around $300.

BUT you don't have to spend a lot. The Viofo is a very good front cam. I bought them for a few relatives for Christmas. I recommend getting it hard wired to your car and use Custom Audio for install as their labor prices are very reasonable.

Sure.

Front

Rear

I have a 64GB card for the front since it's 1440P and a 32 for the back (I have a slightly older 720P model). They both get about 3 days of record time or about 5 hours of driving.

The quality's actually significantly better than what Youtube shows, it was good enough to get the license plate off the car.

Hey! It's the [Viofo A119] (https://www.amazon.com/Viofo-Camera-Degree-miniUSB-Adapter/dp/B01HVWNFF6) and it's been a solid dashcam over the past three years. I believe they've released an updated model since then but it's capable of doing 1080p @ 60FPS or 1440p @ 30FPS

That is a good dashcam, I have the A118C and the video image quality is excellent during the day but is mediocre at night.

In my honest opinion, I would go for the Viofo A119 dashcam which is a kind of upgraded version of the A118C and has superior video image quality. It is one of the most popular dashcams on the market just now.

You can buy the dashcam without GPS here: https://www.amazon.com/Viofo-A119-1440P-30fps-Camera/dp/B01HVWNFF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480310505&sr=8-1&keywords=viofo+a118c+dash+cam

and with GPS here: https://www.amazon.ca/SpyTec-A119-1440p-Dash-Camera/dp/B01HN0HBFG/ref=sr_1_19?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1480310185&sr=1-19&keywords=a118c%2Bdash%2Bcam&th=1

I live in Canada also, I have never considered my options to be limited.

This is what I have. After hours of research, I think this is the best you can get in that price range.

>Do most cans record when the car starts?

depends, most turn on as soon as they receive power (some have power switches on them) - i happen to have it hooked up to an outlet that's not powered when the car is off

>Do I need to purchase a memory card and where is the content stored?

yup - it's stored on the sd card

>Lastly, what dash cams do you guys recommend?

i have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Viofo-Camera-Degree-miniUSB-Adapter/dp/B01HVWNFF6

have had no issues with it so far - you might want to check out r/dashcams for better recommendations

Can anyone say what the difference is between the Spy Tec A119 and the Adorama A119?

A few others have linked some good leads on Amazon!

I'm torn between this one, because it comes with dual cameras, and this one, because of the product rating and that it came up as a suggestion in this thread a few times.

I purchased an A119G from a third party seller through Amazon. Should get here on Friday.
