Thanks for this. I used to have one about 6 years ago and thought it was pretty good. I have been too lazy to buy a new since that one died, so it is good to hear I shouldn't look at them again.

    I watch a lot of dashcam videos on YouTube and the Viofo ones are consistently good quality video. I wound up getting the A119 but haven't recorded anything interesting enough to pull footage yet.

    You should pull footage now to ensure it’s working the way you want. I realized my date/timestamps were broken cuz the camera was only powered when the car was. Misc stuff like that is good to know ahead of time

    That is something I've been meaning to do since installing it but haven't yet months later. I do keep mine powered constantly so I might not have your same issue but it would be really shitty to actually need it someday and find out it hadn't been recording this whole time.
