Viofo A129 Is A Top Quality Dash-Cam In Everyway UPDATED: 14/07/2020
I purchased the Viofo A129 duo dash-cam about a month ago from "FoxOfferLtd" who is also Viofo so you will have no worries buying from this seller, I'm based in the U.K & received the A129 2 days later & installed the dash-cam within that week (2-3 hours to install, taking my time to do the job carefully & properly) I also purchased a Sandisk Ultra 128gb sd card which gives me 8 hours worth of recording from the duo A129.Install was very simple, even the rear-view camera cable that has to route to the front camera, which I run/installed the wire/lead in my roof lining (making sure that it is not installed anywhere near you're DAB antenna/cable as you will get interference with the DAB reception & cutting out (but that will be with most dash-cams) EDIT: I have a Skoda Mk3 vRS with no DAB interference so anyone who gets DAB interference like reviews posted below or after my review then the common sense thing to do is to try & install the rear view dash-cam & the cable temporary (cable just laying on the floor) to prove the rear camera cable is not interfering with the DAB signal, the VW MQB platform of cars are very similar to each other & I can honestly say I have no problems with DAB reception whatsoever.I watched plenty of YouTube videos regards the A129 before purchasing & the A129 is actually a very discreet camera & it's one of those cameras that look so much better in the flesh especially once its in you're hand, it really is different for the better compared to trying to look at it from the pictures, the pictures made me think that it is a big camera, as I had a mini 0806s before & I thought that was small (which it is) but the actual A129 is a perfect size dash-cam for the front & rear.Now as for the Sony Starvis image sensor you really notice the capture/recording quality of his camera which is for the front & rear so you are getting a very good camera for the price range especially when comparing to other big name dash-cams in the market at 3-4 times the price, you get a lot of bang for you're buck so to speak as regards this camera & definitely buy it with a GPS mount, CPL filter & the Bluetooth remote is also very handy to purchase with the A129 :)There is a 3 wire kit coming out real soon for this beautiful dash-camera which will enable you to use parking mode & possibly a few other features too (I wont be using this feature) The quality for a 1920 x 1080P 30FPS with both cameras connected is great & I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. I do recommend watching a few YouTube videos & most of all get familiar on how to use the A129 features/settings, don't keep the WiFi on while recording, just use the WiFi as of when you should & switch it back off.I would have no hesitation in recommending the Viofo A129 to anyone based on my experience with using the A129 & anyone who wants a very reasonable priced, modern, upto date dash-camera packed with great features at a fraction of the price of other cameras, I would also like to say that the service I received from buying this dash-camera from "FoxofferLtd" & amazon has been outstanding, well packaged delivery, on-time prompt service.Update Review: 14/07/2020I had an issue with my rear camera & cable for the A129 which I originally purchased 22 months back. The rear camera or cable kept making the front camera constantly beep & freeze when I had the rear camera plugged in to the front camera, no matter what I tried it would not make the A129 operate unless I unplugged the rear view camera cable from the front camera.I contacted Viofo last week to explain the fault that was happening & they kindly sent me out a free replacement rear camera & cable for the A129. I was the 1st reviewer & buyer via Amazon for Viofo & my camera has been working faultlessly until last week.I appreciate the free replacement from Viofo & the customer service I have received is honorable & fantastic aftercare, If ever I need to change my dash camera in my car, I will no doubt without hesitation purchase another Viofo.Thank you Viofo for your outstanding customer service.

Up with the best.
Having owned an A119 front camera I decided to give this a try.Easy installation and set up with a picure quality that is hard to beat. Easily as good as it's much more expensive rivals.Connection via wifi using the Viofo app works well. Settings may be changed along with a live view which makes positioning easy. Previously recorded video may also be viewed and, if required, saved.I have a separate rechargeable dashcam battery, under the front passenger seat, hardwired to the car so using parking mode is not a problem and the car's battery will not be affected. This does, of course, cost much more than a camera dedicated hardwire kit which should protect the car battery from low voltage if parking mode is activated.One thing I did have a problem with, when connecting via wifi, was that it wouldn't! It took a while to realise that it was not posible with mobile data activated on my phone. Whether this is an isolated case or in general I wouldn't know?One thing I did find during installation was the thickness of the front to rear cable is comparitively thick and harder to "hide" than some. It is quite flexible though.This combination has to be recommended.I needed to contact Viofo about a couple of things which were answered in a timely manner. Updating to ver. 1.5 firmware has addressed one of those.

Great camera if a little bulky
The unit is bulkier than I expected, but it does look good. The location of the SD card, power cable and rear camera slot are awkward. Most people mount them by their rear view mirror, so you have to be careful about where you stick it, as you'll either block the rear camera slot, or the SD card slot.Overall it's a good little unit for the cost, the rear camera cannot be powered and run separately which is a shame.Remember to take the lense cover off the units 1st and disable the annoying beeps.Mine is hardwired, however I haven't set up parking mode yet, will wait for the cable to arriveI'd buy again

Good dash cam
I am a driving school and I like to use my DASH CAM as a teaching aid. I have previously a DASH CAM which cost me a fortune and you can find them on Amazon for well in excess of £400 and they are absolutely useless at getting the Wi-Fi system to work and view the footage quickly. When the old dash cam decided to give up the ghost when I inserted a different card I thought I get something different and cheaper. This one is fantastic and really quick to review the footage to help my pupils learn. – Had one minute clips only on the old one I purchased it £250 but the new one ranges from one minute up to 10 and I’m not even sure that you could just switch it off and have a continuous record I must try it. I put it on 10 minute clips when someone is on a driving test and then come with you to see clips to see how they’ve done.The only gripe and someone else has mentioned it it does interfere with the DAB when using the rear camera, not a lot but Definitely noticeable. I also purchased what I call the dump button that I press to save a clip which is also a good purchase for my type of use but not needed if you are just a general – user
