    Did a bit of research.

    New A119S firmware to optimise image quality - https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/a119s-optimized-image-…

    Firmware for A119 that gives parking mode (will come soon to A119S) - https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/viofo-parking-mode-new…

    • Jackson on 19/06/2017 - 20:55

      What does the parking mode do? I have an a118c and parking mode (which I haven't set up yet) and from what I read on that it was only motion sensing, and that means it's catching every car that drives past. Is it something else now?

    Thanks OP. Bought 1. Never had a dash cam before. Seems like a good investment.

      I got into my first ever crash (rear ended on the motorway) and even though I was hit from behind, my forward facing dashcam was able to very quickly prove I was not at fault.
      Very much worth it!

      • duluxe2000 on 19/06/2017 - 20:30

        Can you tell us more please? Is it because at the time of the accident, your camera showing you were not reversing ?

          +1

          It showed that I stopped safely behind the car in front of me, despite the speed. Then a about 1.5 seconds later, bang. Just meant there was no questioning my innocence.

        • Jackson on 19/06/2017 - 20:57

          @theguyrules: having said d that it would be highly unlikely that you wouldn't have been paid out for that

    • bargdebarg on 20/06/2017 - 07:14

      Thanks, so this way it would only turn on while your in the car. I'd be interested to know how to wire into battery direct.

      • AshFon on 20/06/2017 - 13:25
        +1

        Just select the fuse that is always ON. For example you can select locking door fuse, this fuse is always on and it listens to remote signal.
        you can look into your car manual to see which fuse slots are always ON.

        • bargdebarg on 20/06/2017 - 16:46

          Awesome thank you. Sounds like this is easy enough to do myself. Will freak me out as it's a new car though…

        • AshFon on 21/06/2017 - 14:28
          +1

          @bargdebarg: if you want to play safe you can buy one of those fuse splitter. You can just plug this in your existing fuse socket, then you can connect this to your GPS wire. This way you can keep existing fuse as well as use second fuse for GPS.

  • sharepoint on 19/06/2017 - 16:15

    Noticed that this was previously shipping from Shenzhen, Guangdong, China but is now shipping from Sydney and buyers can now also select Click and Collect from Woolworths now. I guess, all early buyers will also get their purchases ahead of schedule now.

  • rav_stk on 19/06/2017 - 16:25

    Pardon my ignorance but item location says Sydney. Am i missing something here?

    • sharepoint on 19/06/2017 - 16:37

      Till about 3pm today, it was coming from China but I guess they may have bulked shipped to Sydney for local distribution rather then ship internationally.

      • rav_stk on 19/06/2017 - 17:14

        Thanks for explaining..made it look like a local dealer

    • theguyrules on 19/06/2017 - 16:51

      I would be wary of this. Seems like a ploy to get more orders.
      A lot of Chinese eBay listings have Sydney as their item location but ship from China.

  • idonotknowwhy on 19/06/2017 - 16:39

    Can you plug this into the smoke lighter port, or does it have to be wired into a fusebox?
    Edit: I'm sitting on the confirm and pay screen in paypal pending the answer :)

    • unco on 19/06/2017 - 16:43
      +1

      Yes can be plugged in to the cigarette plug.

      • idonotknowwhy on 19/06/2017 - 16:44

        Thanks!

        • Captain Kremmen on 19/06/2017 - 19:57

          Just ensure the power to the cigarette plug goes off when your car is turned of. Found out power to my cars plug is always on therefore camera never turned off.

    • bogak on 19/06/2017 - 16:45

      look at the ebay ad, scroll all the way down and you'll see what comes in the box, micro usb and a dual port usb cig lighter.
      Otherwise you can use the hardwire kit and wire it to your ignition accessories wire which will pretty much do exactly as the usb cig lighter adapter.

      • CharityCase on 19/06/2017 - 18:59

        I'm a totally noob to car and dashcam. Could you explain why hardwire is better than using a cig lighter Port? Will it drain up the car battery?

        • Jackson on 19/06/2017 - 21:06

          Offhand:

          -you can use your lighter socket for something else
          -you don't have a messy wire because you can hide it behind trim
          -you have the option of the camera working when the car is off (which usually isn't the case with lighter power)
          -the kit includes a device that will stop the camera working if the battery drops to a point where you may not be able to start the car if it goes lower

  • 7am on 19/06/2017 - 16:53

  • kungfupanda on 19/06/2017 - 16:56

    What are the advantages of using a hardwire vs cigarette plug?

    • idonotknowwhy on 19/06/2017 - 17:10

      Cig plug turns off when the engine is off. It also uses up the cig plug, and looks annoying having the wire there.

      Hardwire is more work and requires more skill.

      • BuyNow Think Later on 19/06/2017 - 17:25

        If the hardwire is connected to the accessory fuse slot, then wouldn't the dashcam be off when you switch off the ignition? I assume you connect the hardwire to an accessory fuse slot.

  • idonotknowwhy on 19/06/2017 - 17:11

    Why is heating such an issue for dashcams?
    I've read comments on ozbargain about heating, and this one talks about how awesome the capacitors are for not overheating.

    • ShortyX on 19/06/2017 - 18:41

      It's an issue when the car sits in the sun during the day.

    • Jackson on 19/06/2017 - 21:12

      Because batteries often fail and leak when too hot. It should be mentioned that all these cams are not run directly from power, they have a small battery or capacitor that the power passes through

      If you purchase a well known Australian brand it will work fine but be prepared to pay 3-5x the price.

          @BarginHunter:

          Personally I'd be ok with buying it. Objectively speaking it's still arguably a "better" product (local warranty, shipped quicker).

          Would've been good if he had declared that he was the actual seller but it's kinda like just because a car dealer's dodgy, doesn't mean he sells dodgy stock and just because he's nice and friendly doesn't mean he sells good stock.

  • yupyup on 19/06/2017 - 20:48

    this is a good deal, can't help but think that a118c would actually suit my needs as a dashcam for a lower cost - 'good enough' quality for insurance purposes even though much worse resolution than this one, still reliable and well reviewed etc. if i wait for a deal to come up for the a118c i'm thinking i could probably get a front and rear cam that way for not much more than an a119s

    • unco on 19/06/2017 - 21:48

      If you drive at night time the A118C is pretty horrible with dark roads.
      I'd recommend the A119 or A119S over the A118C any day.

    • Jackson on 19/06/2017 - 21:50

      This was my thinking precisely, picked it up for 40 a while ago but haven't had a chance to install yet. Could have been 40 USD

    • finger on 20/06/2017 - 16:34
      +1

      I have the A118 and its rubbish at night. With that said it would still prove if i was in the wrong, you just dont get the detail and absolutely forget about getting number plates

      • yupyup on 20/06/2017 - 19:05

        good point about night quality from you and unco, i guess my reasoning is - why do you even need to get number plates, if you're insured? it does a favour for your insurance company sure, but as long as the footage shows you aren't at fault, thats all you need right?

        • finger on 20/06/2017 - 21:48

          Definitely that's all you need. Some just like the added features, clarity etc.

        • unco on 20/06/2017 - 21:50

          If the other person does a runner then you can't claim against their insurance and have to pay your own excess.

The Ozzy seller still hasnt shipped it even though the advertised ETA for me to receive it was today. Whats the point of offering Express post if you dont ship it?
    The seller if a member here by the looks of it so I hope hes reading this

    • gobsmax on 21/06/2017 - 08:31

      I'm in the same boat. I contacted the seller and they confirmed it will be sent this Thursday 22nd June. Hopefully I get it Friday or Monday next week.

      Message now reads "This seller is currently away until 24 Jun, 2017. If you make a purchase, there may be a delay in processing your order." It originally said 23 Jun 2017.

      In many cases that had happened to me, no such thing as local warranty. Most of them would only give you partial refund when you receive a faulty product.

      • kungfupanda on 22/06/2017 - 14:16

        I don't think that's the case because the Aussie seller was (initially) $0.50 cheaper than the China seller and the Aussie seller used express post but no hardwire kit.
        I didn't go with the local seller because I wanted the hardwire kit.

        When I bought, the Aussie seller actually increased the price to $120.99 - not sure why. Today I checked the price is $140.99 :)

      • Abbi on 22/06/2017 - 11:39

        I purchased from the link in the OP. In the ebay app it shows tracking history, and it shows it came shipped from SHENZHEN (2d ago), then to AusPost (1d ago). AusPost app says "Your parcel is coming" and received by AusPost yesterday. So for me it's almost here, although there is no estimated delivery date yet or current location within Aus.

    Hi All,

    Hoping to buy a dashcam but have some very noob questions. As a preface I'm a confessed nerd and don't know about cars/electronics.

    1. My fuse box has a few "spare" fuses at 10A but the power outlet is 15A, can I just use the spare fuse?
    2. Do all of you use an electrician to install or diy? If safe to DIY, how do I actually connect the red wire into one of the fuses? Do I just take the fuse out and jam the wire in, then force the fuse back in?
    3. Similar to above, how do people ground the black wire? I see there's a bolt below the fusebox… can I just use electrical tape to tape it there?
