VIOFO - A139 Pro 2CH

VIOFO A139 Pro (front and rear) 4K can be found for low $300s on sale. Works well in mine and has decent audio. Can be hardwired to battery or external battery for recording while parked for extended period of time with a voltage cutoff to save your battery.

My viofo A139 pro duo has parking mode. I have the hard wire kit to use it as a parking defense cam. But gotten lazy and haven’t done the hard wire. So only dash cam at the moment. I highly recommend the a139 as it’s been reliable for me. However if I didn’t have one, I’d get the A329 or a229 pro depending on budget. What ever you do. Get a sandisk MAX ENDURANCE 256GB micro SD. Those are rated for days cma use and warranties for it. Other ones are not and will corrupt with dash cam use and the heat

I’m stuck on the 139 pro duo. One of these days I may upgrade. But for now they are working so I don’t want to land fill them

That’s a massive budget. My fav is the viofo a339 https://a.co/d/hIhbHYB 469 with a 70$ coupon so even cheaper The black view DR970X https://www.blackboxmycar.com/products/blackvue-dr970x-2ch-plus-4k-uhd-cloud-dash-cam Both are top shelf and best of the best. I tend to favor viofo myself. Which ever you get use a [sandisk max endurance](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1547793-REG/sandisk_sdsqqvr_256g_an6ia_max_endurance_microsd_256gb.html) and register the warranty with WD which is the parent company I’m still using the A139 pro duo. Since mine just keeps on going and hasn’t died, there’s no reason for me to swap it out. I feel bad about throwing a perfectly good camera in the landfill. But if I happen to find $450, I would get the 339.

Viofo A139 pro duo. The new A339 pro duo is super nice but pricy. Which ever you get 100% only use a sandisk max endurance 256GB micro SD card. Normal and performance SD cards for cameras will not be reliable in a dash camera. And absolutely get a front and rear facing. If your dash camera does not come with a polarized lens kit, buy it.

Viofo A329 front and rear facing. Combo with a sandisk max enduramce 256GB micro SD. Do not use a different microSD card. Dash cameras are very hard on the card and this one is meant specifically for this us usage and warranty for it. 369 on blackboxmycar I would suggest reformatting a.k.a. wiping the card every two months If you need a more value days cam. The A139 pro duo is 199 for front and rear facing. Front is 2k and rear 1080P. the sale price is viofo own website. I’d link them for you but subs frowns upon helpful links

[viofo A229 pro](https://www.blackboxmycar.com/products/viofo-a229-pro-tele-3ch-4k-2k-telephoto-4x-optical-zoom-1080p-dash-cam) you get 4k 30FPS front, a 2k 30Fps tele long distance front camera, and a 1080P 30FPS rear. This allows you to get really good footage in the front and with a telly lens, it allows you to have more time where you can capture a quality image of the license plate, even as they speed away. And since generally, the rear cars are coming at you the lower 1080 P is fine because they’re coming closer and closer. On ale 309, which leaves you some money for a sandisk MAX endurance micro SD 256GB card. Only use this card normal SD cards are not meant for the rights and rewrite cycles of dash camera sees.. these have a lifetime warranty specifically for dash camera and security camera usage. If you have quality ceramic window tint, you don’t need a CPL filter. If you have no window tint or it’s cheaper stuff then this is basically a polarized lens, which makes the image way more clear in sunlight. You can plug it into your cigarette lighter, or you can hardwire it in and activate the parking mode. So if it gets hit while you’re away, the G force sensor will record what happens in a set interval before and after detection.

Coming from a Viofo A139 Pro 2CH, here are my thoughts. The BlackVue software is much more user friendly compared to the Viofo software. I do prefer the video I get from the Viofo though. Viofo is able to utilize HDR and you aren't locked to 1 minute recordings. On top of that, the video sometimes look grainy on the blackvue. With the blackvue though, I also have a blackvue external battery that integrates well in the app. I also changed from a Viofo because it stopped working after a year of use. EDIT: I guess I am satisfied, but do wish there were some improvements on the blackvue model.

Still working on adding a feature filter to my site, but here’s all the no-screen front + rear options I carry. [DR590X](https://hachielectronics.com/products/blackvue-dr590x-plus) [DR970X](https://hachielectronics.com/products/blackvue-dr970x-plus-1ch-2ch) [DR970X-Box](https://hachielectronics.com/products/blackvue-dr970x-box-plus-2ch) [Q200](https://hachielectronics.com/products/thinkware-q200-1ch-2ch) [U3000](https://hachielectronics.com/products/thinkware-u3000-1ch-2ch) Viofo’s screenless front + rear camera (the 139 series) was discontinued a while back so they’re not listed anymore but I still have a couple A139 Pro 2CHs laying around. If you want one of those let me know. And yeah, as others have said, you can disable the screen on the other Viofos. Their form factor allows them to tuck nicely behind the rearview mirror so I would consider their other options too.

Ik heb vele dashcams getest, ook omdat ik met dezelfde eisen zat. Ik wilde een goede kwaliteit dashcam, goed nachtzicht en voornamelijk een goede parkeermodus. Na onderzoek kwam ik er achter dat in principe élke dashcam dezelfde sensor gebruikt. Ik kon dat eerst niet geloven, maar het is echt zo. Tegenwoordig heb je de Sony Starvis 2 sensor, dit is de verbeterde versie van de vorige sensor. Ik ben uiteindelijk uitgekomen bij de Viofo A139 Pro 2 channel. Het heeft een heel goede parkeermodus met veel instellingen. Wat ook erg van belang is bij dit model is dat ook de achtercamera een bewegingssensor heeft. Veel dashcams hebben alleen aan de voorzijde een sensor, waardoor hij niet automatisch opneemt bij beweging aan de achterzijde. Daarnaast is het van belang dat je dashcam een ‘buffered’ parkeermodus heeft. Dat houdt in dat hij snel inschakelt bij beweging, maar ook de 15/20 sec daarvoor nog opneemt. Ik weet dat de Viofo boven je genoemde budget ligt, maar geloof me, van Nordval tot BlackVue, ik heb echt alles getest voornamelijk voor de uitgebreide parkeermodus. Ik denk oprecht dat die 100€ extra je precies geeft waar jij naar zoekt. Wel van belang dat je kennis hebt / vrienden hebt die weten hoe je hem moet installeren. Een goede parkeermodus werkt eigenlijk alleen als je hem ‘hardwired’. Dat wil zeggen, aansluiten op je zekeringkast. Dat klinkt wellicht wat lastig, maar is echt heel goed zelf te doen. Mocht je nog vragen hebben, stel ze gerust! Op mijn kanaal heb ik nog een test video staan voor het beeld overdag, eventueel kan ik meer uploaden als je dat wilt: https://youtu.be/Au-7FJQMgZI?si=nT9ztfab3X6CT4mK

In die tijd kocht ik hem inderdaad ook, toen het een van de eerste met de Starvis 2 sensor was. Een Starvis 3 sensor bestaat nog niet, dus alle andere modellen met de 2 sensor zullen alleen afwijken in opties voor instellingen / mogelijkheden. Daar komt de Viofo nog steeds erg goed uit de test.

I'm going with the Viofo A139 Pro Duo for my car. It's got a Starvis II sensor and seems to outperform most other cameras in the comparison videos. It is unobtrusive and doesn't have a screen. Many people don't realise that having a dashcam with the screen switched on can get them prosecuted under the same law that forbids having a TV within sight of the driver. When mounting a camera, put it inside the arc of the wipers, out of your line of sight so it has clean glass to look through and doesn't obstruct your vision. I've seen people with cameras and satnavs with them right in the middle of the windscreen. I was the victim of a rear-ending a couple of years ago by someone on their phone. I was in Southampton at the weekend and had 3 people pull out on me at roundabouts inside 15 minutes. I do think the standard of driving is getting worse and having a camera is becoming more necessary for my own protection.

I really like the look of the Viofo A139 Pro. 4k, excellent image quality, dual camera. It records in an SD card, in the camera. You connect to its built in WiFi to retrieve the footage. It does not need WiFi or cell coverage to function

I have the Viofo A139 Pro Duo, and I really like it. Good pictures, smooth videos. I had a Rove R2-4k (front only) on my car that recently got totaled. It worked well through the wreck, kept the footage, etc. I had it for 5 years, no issues. There is a 2-channel option, also. If you haven't yet, I would really recommend going to r/Dashcam. They'll have different guides, and possibly more options. You can also look at dashcam video quality there and in some other subs (r/IdiotsInCars) is a fun one to see different camera quality. And please, for the love of all things shiny, get a 2-channel dash cam for your car, too. It's worth the cost.

Viofo a139 duo (it’s been replaced by the a139 duo pro )or red tiger f9 these both have no screens on them so they are tiny

I love my red tiger f9 small the app is so good & it’s under 130$ & it’s 4k Check it out on Amazon For my suv I ran a viofo a139 duo pro

Viofo A139 Pro 2CH. never had any issues with it. great app connectivity, and has settings for parking mode if you hardwired it (which i haven't yet). highly recommend if youre looking for a good quality 2 channel cam

VIOFO A139 Pro Dual Channel with Hachi Electronics ASC connector. I originally wired it to the cabin fuse box with fuse taps, but Hachi electronics is the cleaner install. My gripe with the A139 Pro is where the buttons are located. Pushing in them induces a prying motion on the 3M tape and causes it to peel. I frequently turn off the camera when parking at home to save battery as I have sufficient CCTV to cover. Also the camera slides onto the GPS module which is then 3M to the glass. On certain high g turns it’ll slide the dash cam out. I have a little piece of tape to prevent this.
