  • If you want the best possible front view and rear view, a combination of a Viofo A229Pro (4k) paired with a RTC300 Tele-camera (2k) and RC300 rear camera (2k) is as good as it gets as of now.

  • Viofo has been perfect for me. Really good picture quality, and when I actually got rear-ended I was able to easily connect to the dash cam from my phone and download the video.

  • I’m using a VIOFO A329 and I don’t think there’s another dashcam that comes close to it in terms of footage quality if that’s your main concern

  • I went with Viofo 129 Pro, so it has no screen and minimal obstruction. I just use the app when I want to view live or recorded content.

  • I love my viofos. I've had numerous others before that did the job, but picture quality IMO has always been the best on viofo.

  • Viofo, google it, watch YouTube reviews, it's been done a thousand times, Viofo is the answer, price and quality is the best.

  • Viofo A229 Pro 2 Channel was pretty much the best thing out there ... Even better than some of the more expensive offerings.

  • I’d say go with either the A119 mini or the A229 plus. Both have the Starvis 2 sensor which really helps with night time.

  • I’ve had my first set of VIOFO A119 Duo for six years. And an A129 Duo in another vehicle for four years. No complaints.

    r/dashcams · owner sentiment 5/5 · A119 Duo, A129 Duo
  • Viofo has options for how long the screen stays lit until it turns off down to 3 seconds. Bootup sound can be silenced.

  • I bought a VIOFO VS1 with polarized lens bundle on Amazon which was surprisingly cheaper than buying both separately.

  • strongly recommend VIOFO A229 because it comes in dual channel and has a newer sensor with better video quality.

  • Viofo.

  • I've had viofi I think the a129 top model. Was like 350ish. It's good. I mean I haven't had to use it for an accidental purpose yet. Touch wood right. Owned for about 12 months roughly. And the app is easy enough. Quality is good.

  • we have 2 A119, and they are great. best feature IMO is the 5ghz wireless connection when you want to review the video on your phone, I have had so much trouble with other dashcams using 2.4ghz

  • I have the VIOFO A119 V3 front dashcam and it's been great at only $150, recommended them to my family members and the footage has proved us to be not at fault in an insurance claim.

  • Viofo A129 duo version - because of the slanted design you put it behind the rear view mirror and you can't even see that there is a dashcam in the car.

  • IMO Viofo are excellent for the price. Sony Starvis 2 sensor, parking mode, wifi and app.... actually these are the only functions I really use.

  • I use a Viofo 229 front and rear. Hard wired for parking and routed to the back. Very good visibility at night and day with polarizing lense.

  • I can vouch for the Viofo cameras, also Project Farm did a dash cam shootout and put Viofo at the top so yeah they're pretty good.

  • The A129 is about $250 for a dual channel unit. Less for a single channel. They stand up fairly well in the Australian heat.

  • My 8-year-old Viofo A129 is still working well, has good definition, and I like its mounting position. Good value for money.
