    Anyone recommend a cheap SD card?

  • illumination on 19/09/2017 - 10:05

    Good deal.

    I would imagine it's worth spending a bit more on the A119S with GPS though?

    • batrarobin on 19/09/2017 - 10:12
      +2

      According to reviews, A119 is better if you drive primarily during day time but in saying that its night time recording isn't too bad. On the other hand, A119S model has lower resolution but has slightly better low-light sensitivity so better results for night driving.

      • illumination on 19/09/2017 - 12:00

        That's what I've read too.

        I would say provided the carplate numbers during the day are still legible with A119S recordings, then it'd be worth sacrificing a little bit of day time quality for night time quality.

      • greatlamp on 20/09/2017 - 00:25

        Recently bought the A119s, still can't read numberplates at night.

        • illumination on 20/09/2017 - 10:53

          If it can't read number plates whilst in motion I suppose that's not surprising, but what about when not moving?

    • sane on 19/09/2017 - 10:59

      It says "with GPS Module" so I'd assume the only real difference is the 1080p vs 1440p sensor.

      • vhfyagi on 19/09/2017 - 11:31

        better lens as well.

      • illumination on 19/09/2017 - 11:59

        Oh yea I didn't mean it comparatively. I meant the A119S with GPS as opposed to the A119S without GPS.

      • Quarn on 19/09/2017 - 12:03

        Narrower field of vision and lens cannot be swung sideways

    • rasserie on 19/09/2017 - 12:43

      based on title this one has gps too. 1440p version does not have the Sony sensor. the Sony ones can only do fullHD. but based on comparison videos, i dislike the Sony sensor ones.

    How do you guys route the power cable to the power socket? The sight of that puts me off getting a dashcam.

    • Kiminoth on 19/09/2017 - 10:42

      A mate of mine placed his behind his mirror, and ran the cable along the top of the glass, and then down the side, held in place by cable clips. I was actually impressed as how neat it looked

      • chewkl on 19/09/2017 - 10:59

        Yes that's the easy part. How about when it reaches the dash and you have to connect it to the power socket below the A/C controls or worse in the centre console?

        • Cheeper on 19/09/2017 - 11:34
          +5

          You can get a hardwire kit & a fuse double adapter for a few dollars. I ran mine to a power source that was active only when the motor was running (not acc).
          With the wiring… on most cars you can slip the wire up under the roof lining trim. The side pillar cover snaps off or can be lifted enough to get the wire under. Invisible installation.. :-)

    • megawatt101 on 19/09/2017 - 10:45

      Yes, and how long will it run on the capacitor? I would prefer not to run a power cable also.

      • jorf on 19/09/2017 - 10:47
        +5

        The capacitor only lasts long enough to shut down the camera cleanly so you don't corrupt the files.

        About 1 second

    • batrarobin on 19/09/2017 - 11:01

      I have recently installed dashcams on our RAV 4 and Honda Jazz and acheived a pretty neat installation. On both cars, I pulled the cigrette lighter panel out and daisy-chained the supply using fly wires to power up the adapter. I ran the cable along the top trim of the car near the camera, pushed the cable into the trim itself so it's nice and hidden. Then along the trim near door hinges, then under glovebox and finally through the cigrette lighter panel. Replaced the cogrette lighter panel back, placing the power adapter behind it, so now I have my cigrette lighter outlet also vacant.

      • Cheeper on 19/09/2017 - 11:36
        +2

        You can run it to your fuse box inside the car using a hardwire kit. Just need a cheap fuse double adapter.

      • EnALup on 19/09/2017 - 12:41

        Have you done it on rear side of your RAV4 as well? there is a power outlet at the back as well if I remember. Thinking to get one for the back.

        • batrarobin on 19/09/2017 - 13:02

          No I haven't but that's my next plan. The power outlet in the boot of my RAV4 isn't working, might be blown fuse but yes that would be the best location to get power from for rear dashcam.

    • bamzero on 19/09/2017 - 12:03
      +4

      Mine is not visible. Tucked in top edge along the glass, then under the pillar cover down the side and behind the glovebox. Just the cable end pops out the end and into the cigarette lighter adapter.

      Thought about hard wiring, but was neat enough. Does depend on your centre console though, in this case it's open behind so the cable could pass through and be almost out of sight.

  • unco on 19/09/2017 - 11:27

    The images they use are of the V1, hopefully it really is the V2 that arrives.

    Also, the shipping options… hmm which is actually the best to pick?

    Hongkong Post
    Registered (7-30 days) $0.00
    Standard (7-45 days) $0.00

    Australia Post
    Air Parcel (5-8 business days) $0.00
    Air Packet (7-15 business days) No Tracking $0.00

    • ShortyX on 19/09/2017 - 12:16

      What is the difference between v1 and v2? Any issues if they send v1?

      • unco on 19/09/2017 - 12:19

        V1 had issues with the pins connecting the GPS module to the camera.

        See here for photos.
        https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/a119s-v2.28422/#post-3…

        There are quite a few people with problems where the camera is cutting out because of the pins not having proper contact.

        The issue is that the power cable plugs in to the GPS mount, so some recommendations are to plug the power cable directly to the camera instead but then you'd still have a loose GPS connection.

      • bamzero on 19/09/2017 - 12:20

        It's a change in the pins that connect the GPS module to the camera, some V1 had bad connection when bouncing around in the car. I think the lens surround also has ridges to accept the optional clip on polariser.

        EDIT: Oops, too slow to type :)

    • batrarobin on 19/09/2017 - 16:34

      That is a non-GPS model. The GPS model from the same seller is $35 more expensive : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VIOFO-A119-GPS-HD-2K-1440P-Car-Da…?

          non-gps model can be easily switched between vehicles because it can detach from the latch which sticks to the car. they give you 3 latches in the box

          that said, I got the gps model cos of the extra information it provides

        • garffi on 20/09/2017 - 14:12

          I'll have to buy a hardware kit on top of it. I'd rather pay a bit more to get the whole package I need. That said, I still have to buy tools and a sd card, gonna cost around $140 altogether…

  • BoomTetrisForJeff on 19/09/2017 - 16:46

    fyi the 1080p on the G1W-c is clearer than the 1080p or even 1440 on the A119.
    i was watching youtube reviews i noticed that the number plates were incredibly hard to read till they got closer, so i did some more research.
    this guy did a comparison between the two. https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/disappointed-in-the-a1…

    was about to pull the trigger thinking this would be an upgrade over the G1W but this stopped me

    • sublemon on 19/09/2017 - 19:34

        if someone to say sideswipe you then bolt off it would be hard to see their plates in that situation the g1wc is better the a119 also doesnt capture sharpness well when moving or when the object is moving
