A 2ch Viofo shouldn’t be able to run for more than 10-12hrs in parking mode that’s hardwired to standard car battery, even an external…

If your dashcam supports parking mode, which will record if it gets triggered when the car is off - you can enable it by hardwiring it or…

In terms of dashcams, this brand name isn’t even good.

I think for those considering this, it not the best dashcam - but it has its place in the market. I see it as a simple and cheap reverse…

Absolutely agree – BlackVue’s only real competitive advantage is its cloud functionality, and it isn’t even fully utilised by most…

In addition to the above replies, A329 gives you 4k60, no HDR and A229 Pro gives you 4k30 with HDR.

Correct.

BYD normally uses Micro2, but you should always double check. Also, depending on your BYD, most models only have constant circuits in the…

No, A229 uses USB-C, A129 uses mini USB.

Dashcam installation is definitely not hard and DIY-able, just takes time if you're comfotable - but paying someone doesn't necessarily…

There are battery packs specifically made to connect with dashcams and be stored in the car (Blackvue B130X, Cellink Neo8+ etc) - and not…

If you compare the Sandisk Max & High spec sheets, they both have the same read/write speed (same as Viofo too), operating temp and,…

Your parking mode duration depends on a various factors. But in general, a standard car battery most likely won’t get you 11hours a day…

You’re also not understanding the original intent of my reply (which is not necessary direct to you), so I will leave it at that.

Correct, we all have compromises and my original point to not rule out 4K models, as they don’t all overheat.

Nope, that’s not what I’m referring to - you do know there’s only one orientation to install the fuse tap…right?

If you are installing with a dashcam battery with the dashcam, you will need the hardwire kit too in order connect to them with parking…

If you’re not comfortable working on a car or not very handy, I’d recommend against doing it yourself - YouTube is a great start, but…

All SD cards will eventually fail and need replacing - most dashcams will give you symptoms when it happens. A Max card may get you more…

I'm not here to change your mind. Like I said, more of an FYI for others to make their choices. Also, I've had a 2K Viofo A119 MINI 2…

Recommend, but not a must-have, you can most definitely use a high endurance if budget is a factor - I’ve had a Samsung Pro Plus in one…

I’m not sure if you’re implying 4K models overheat, but more of an FYI for others - overheating 4K dashcams is not really an issue with…

It’s not easy to do properly either. You should never run it via the door seals - guess where the airbags are.

Is it the other way around? I've been reading people can port in/out of their existing boost prepaid using a $2 telstra sim quite…

The Smartbox is a hardwire kit, which is designed to cut off power at your selected voltage, so having a battery pack in your case will…

@justanick Your quote seems reasonable, I’d probably charge a similar amount, depending on the car you have. It looks like they used the…

If you have a Blackvue B-130X, or the B-124 battery with the 3-wire hardwire cable for power, they’re both compatible with any dashcam…

The Blackvue dashcams are definitely overrated, but their support has always been good from my experience. It's also better to mention that…

Terrible dashcam

Curious why privacy is an issue? Theres no cloud/remote access capabilities on Viofo dashcams
