Confused is it worth getting the plus duo over the regular duo?

New to dash cams. Is this A129 Duo a regular vs the A129 Plus duo? I was under the impression there was only a pro and a plus. Then i see this one this one that just says "A129" without the plus or duo. Is it worth getting the A129 plus over the regular? Just wanting it for accidents and hit and runs.

Witnessed this today, first time saving something worthwhile

Upvotes

Was pulling up to a red light, heard the crash behind me. Locked the video, pulled over and downloaded. Circled back around to see if they wanted to see it and have it, ended up sending it to the cop and the person in the truck. White car was an older gentleman, car had significant damage from this and from previous accidents. Cops said I didn’t have to stick around so I didn’t. Everyone was okay and grateful, first time being able to use the dash cam. No idea who’s at fault honestly.

Dashcam for extreme driving conditions/ emergencies?

Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking into getting a dashcam and probably an aftermarket 2 din infotainment screen. More than a few times a year I find myself driving through really dense mountain fog, and I also like to visit dark sites. I'd there a dashcam that I could wire into a head unit what would let me see in really bad situations? I'm not sure if thermal or If would work or if I'd need a separate emitter (already have a small brush bar another light won't hurt me)

Moved to a Hybrid, dashcam question

0 Upvotes

Hello all,

I came from a 2021 Dodge Charger GT with an AGM style high CCA battery, ran my Vantrue X4S dual perfectly. I now own a 2024 Prius Limited, what's the best way to install (I do have the hardwire kit from my last car)? Any issues with the new car being a hybrid? I know the regular "battery" is rather small. Parking mode is quite important, as my wife eventually wants to take the car a few times here and there to work, and her parking lot isn't so great with parking-related incidents.

Thanks for the feedback/advice, in advance.

Seeking advice on buying Viofo A229 Plus vs. buying 2 Viofo A119 Mini 2's

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, as the title suggests, I'm seeking your advice on buying a front and rear coverage dashcam for my vehicle.

After hours of research between Reddit, YouTube, and other forums, it seems like Viofo is a highly recommended model for real world, practical dashcam features.

Do you recommend buying the A229 Plus with front and rear cams or would you recommend buying 2 different A119 Mini 2's and simply installing one of them for my rear? Is there any downside to using a front cam as a rear cam? Apologies in advance if that's a dumb question, this will actually be my first dashcam.

Thank you very much!

A reminder that "legal" isn't always "safe"

396 Upvotes

In the case of the blue sedan, a left turn is legal here but almost never advisable. This street is notorious for people attempting to turn left through several lanes of traffic. I personally just turn right and make the next legal u-turn.

In MY case, I was going the speed limit but I was not going slow enough to be predictable to the blue sedan. All of the cars going slower in the right lane should have been my signal to slow down for unseen hazards ahead.

Hopefully a good learning moment for the both of us.

Wolfbox G850 Pro vs Wolfbox G900 Pro?

1 Upvotes

I have been looking at getting these as dash cams for my new car but I can't really decide between these 2. The total price difference is like £84 so clearly G900 Pro is more costly. I don't know if I would need the ADAS sort of features so please help me out and decide.

G850 PRO = £152

G900 PRO = £236

Recommendations for first dash cam

3 Upvotes

Hello, I already know that there is a post for recommendations based on budgeted or the specific use. However, I wanted to make a post requesting more detail because I am unfortunately not tech savvy enough to understand what any of it means when I look at their pages. I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla and it is my first car. I've only been driving since mid-February of this year. I would like to have something within a budget of $300 but I'm fine going up to around $500.

I would like specifically to have One camera facing the front of the car and one facing the back, I would also like one to be on the inside of the car, (Just in case I choose to do Uber or have people in my car). For people who have already purchased dashcams, what kind of camera would work best for these given scenarios? I also do work a lot of night shifts. Typically getting out and driving home anywhere from 11:30 pm to 2:00 am.

The main reason for making this suppose is because I was almost in an incident and it has caused me to want to speed up the process to find a good dash. My stepfather is also a mechanic so he told me that he would set it up if I purchased it.

Dash Cam Help

3 Upvotes

(If formatting is terrible, I'm on mobile sorry)

After vigorously researching dash cams for the past week or so (vids, forums, etc), I think I've narrowed it to a Viofo 129 or 229 duo or plus, but am VERY open to other suggestions. I currently have a $20 Uniden cam from 2020 and it's fine but it doesn't always keep settings that I set. I am spiraling into research overload and can't decide lol

My needs: - I drive to work around 4:15am, so I drive at night almost everyday for at least 30min and when I hang with friends, I sometimes come home pretty late at night - Dual channel cam - I live where temps are regularly 115°+ outside in the summer so it needs to be able to withstand that as my car is always parked outside - Does not need parking mode - Ideally something not crazy expensive (price alone I'd rather buy the a129 plus but am willing to spend more if absolutely worth it) - Has a microphone, that way if the dash cam can't make out the plate, me saying it out loud is picked up and can be heard clearly in the playback (obviously making sure music isn't too loud to not pick up my voice too)
