"I've had a Viofo A129 for a couple of years now, and I leave it in the car 24/7 without issues despite the heat and cold."
"Yeah they are specifically better in the heat than other cameras because they use a super capacitor instead of a battery to do the final writing to the SD card when the power gets cut by your car. ... Batteries tend to have issues in extreme heat/cold"
"I’ve also had really good luck with the A119 and A129 in the Arizona heat for the last few years."

"It will stay in a suspended state but monitor for bumps, and start recording."
"The front-rear one I installed in my cars have caught some interesting parked moments."
"A129 is plenty good enough ... even a fuzzy picture with front and rear coverage is enough to prove fault."

"I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died."
"The rear camera died at 13 months which stopped the front from recording. ... They wanted me to pay $40 for a replacement rear cam though it was still in warranty."
"it's very inconsistent as far as recording when you need it to"

Project farm on YouTube just did a dash cam comparison and viofo took the #1 spot. I've had my viofo 129 duo since 2019 and it's been great.
r/dashcams • What is the best dash cam to buy if money isn’t an issue ? ->I got a Nextbase and upgraded to a Viofo A129 Duo very quickly. The Viofo is nice and reliable. They have newer versions now
r/dashcams • Which one should I get? ->VIOFO A129 duo. Has front and back cameras, as well as gps
r/BroncoSport • Dash cam recommendations ->I went with Viofo A129 Duo almost 6 years ago, but I only use the front cam and never set up the rear cam. It's still going strong.
r/Frugal • Any good dashcams that aren't too expensive but with all the functionalities? ->My Viofo sitting on the passenger side behind the mirror never bothered me in my last car. Also it still works perfectly fine after 4,5 years so as soon as the temperature outside goes up a bit it's going right back in the Polestar.
r/Polestar • Dash cam Recommendations ->Why not? Just watch some videos to find the best route to take and go for it. I recently took my viofo A129 Duo out of my old lease car and will put it in the P2 as soon as the temperature goes up a bit. (its still a fair bit of work so I don't want to be cold when doing it)
r/Polestar • Dash cam Recommendations ->lmao high desert much? I live in the high desert and I have used a Viofo A129 Duo since 2022. It came with strong adhesive that has yet to give. I power it with an external battery when I'm parked out and about. I also benefit from being garaged overnight at home (where I don't need the dashcam running). I make sure to position my accordion-style sunshade so that the main camera is in a fold, and therefore has some ventilation if I'm parked outdoors, and the battery I keep in the center console, away from the sun and insulated from the heat of the car cabin. I've never had any issues with the rear camera.
r/Dashcam • Best dashcam for HOT locations? ->I've used the Viofo A129 duo with hardwire kit in my first gen and my second gen. On the second gen if you want the camera to be more hidden the adhesive doesn't stick too well to the plastic covering the sensors behind the right side of the mirror. I did find out that putting a couple layers of clear nail polish creates a smooth surface that VHB adhesive sticks to without issue. Having the camera there makes it hard to see from the outside that there is a dash cam.
r/volt • Dashcam? ->I have a Viofo A129 Duo and it's pretty nice for it's price around $120. 1440p/60fps front, 1080/30 rear.
r/ElantraN • Finally finished up some mods! ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
