  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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’m leaning towards the viofo 229 but unsure how difficult it is to run and hide the rear dashcam wires.

  • Viofo, Rexing, Garmin, Rove, Thinkware, etc. They're more than enough for most people.

  • Viofo needs attention monthly (format the SD card), but is less expensive.

  • Voifo, FitCamX, and Blackvue tend to be the usual suspects.

  • I bought a Viofo A229 pro.

  • I don’t recommend fitcamx.

  • Search Viofo

  • I have the A119 V3 and I've had so many problems with it. The GPS unit has a shoddy terminal connection so it drops out constantly. The SD card corrupts files randomly.
