How to setup A119 V3 Dashcam settings for general use. This initial Firmware version includes many useful and surprising features. My tests confirm the new 12 second buffered Parking Auto Event Detection and Time Lapse 1/3/5/10fps and Low Bitrate Recording Modes all work perfectly with Power Bank. See my V3 Parking Mode video for more details.
where is your V3 Parking Mode video? and do you have a video for Firmware 2 already? Thanks
@@imjerome After searching through his videos, it doesn't appear he ever made a parking mode video. He hasn't made any new videos since 2019. Best to look elsewhere.
@@Dan-ck4bg thanks a lot!
Thank you so very much for your excellent video it was so much help that I couldn’t have done it without you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
I think the "Beep Sound" should be "All On" to beep you when the cam stopped recording (for whatever reason; e.g., issue with 12V or the memory card)!!!
I opened mine and got surprised how small it is compared to videos. I even thought they put the mini by mistake 😂
Thank you for sharing this 🏆

@@redsuxh8r131 update the firmware
Thanks for the nice setup video.
i save this video for this great settings, thanks buddy
Viofo has now included the new buffered Parking Auto Event Detection Mode feature in recent Firmware for :
A119 V3 1600p 1440p Dash Cam = FW v1.00+
A129 Duo IR 1080p Dash Cam = FW v1.00+
A129 Duo 1080p Dash Cam = FW v1.80+ (testing MOD versions)
current A129 Duo non-IR owners must update to new Beta v1.80 or higher to access the new Buffered Parking feature. Buffered Parking was always supported by hardware. Download A129 Duo Modified Firmware = viofo-dash-cam-modified-firmware.blogspot.com/p/download-a129-mod-file.html
BC Hobbyist is the latest firmware for the A119 v3, v1.02?
Do you know what happened to the WDR setting on the latest firmware version 2.6?
WDR (wide dynamic range) is a standard video option used to balance image brightness and detail. VIOFO has switched from WDR to HDR feature on some dashcams and firmware. Both versions are similar I don't use them.
Hey! I cannot get my V3 out of "standby mode" (blinking Red) for nothing! What am I doing wrong?. (great vid BC)
Any way that the screen won’t turn on when I start the car?
mine started smoking on the first day, i returned to amazon immediately
Sorry you got a defective product. Smoke is not good, when you get another do the tamberine test (shake slightly to detect lose part). Powering on with more than 5 volts will fry any VIOFO camera. Some other brands use 12 volts.
I dont understand the default setting question. You say to always use the default setting but shouldn't I turn that off because I just set all of my settings to match yours. Won't it change everything back to the camera settings?
Only need to RESET to Defaults after updating Firmware. Some config data remains after updates which can corrupt video causing odd behavior.
Looking to purchase either the A119 V2 or the A119 V3. I was really sold on the V2, but then I stumbled upon the V3 and from what I've seen so far, recording video quality is much improved over the V2. Should I spend the extra and get the V3 instead? I can get it with GPS and CPL filter. Parking Mode with a power bank I plan on frequently using.
The newer A119 V3 is superior to old V2 especially with Parking Mode features. If you don't require front and rear camera the V3 is the one to buy, dual camera PRO system available Sept 2019.
No parking mode settings video?
Mine is still working after 5 years.
Hi I got 2 A119 V3, but seem it stops recording buffer parking mode after around 6 hours. (no motion capture)
Before 6 hrs it capctures 10 sec before the motion perfectly.
It's hardwired.
My setting is:
Enter parking mode timer: off
Parking record duration: on
Parking G-Sensor: Middle sensitivity
Parking motion detection: Middle sensitivity
Motion detection: off
G-Sensor: off
GPS: off
How to solve this problem of not motion detection capturing after 6 hours?
There's a setting for parking mode shutdown time, at least in the current firmware(2.6) and you can set it to max 48 hours, and there's also the possibility the low voltage protection on the hardwire kit is turning the camera off to save your battery.
Great review.
With the A119 V3, if your driving for a long time the screen will turn off....do you know if it's still recording?
When I touch the button to turn the screen back on it shows a recording time of between 1min to 3 min, even if I've been driving for hours.
Thanks
It should continue recording. Mine does the same. The 1-3min timestamp may be due to the 'loop recording' setting displayed in this video- the dash cam records a series of short videos (1-2-3 min based on setting chosen) to shorten file size of videos. There shouldn't be any missed audio/video between clips. If you want a large, single file for each drive, I would guess you can turn that setting off. But haven't tested it.
You can test that your cam is recording very quickly- just remove your microSD card when the ignition and unit is off, then check the files under the DCIM folder. Should be a series of chronological videos, 1-3 min in length the whole time the dashcam was on.
The LCD screen should NOT be left on continuously due to its distraction. All VIOFO Dashcams show a red LED light indicating its recording. No need to press any buttons since that can stop recording or bring up the Menu while driving. The microSD memory card will save looped clips with zero gaps when played back or assembled in longer videos for UA-cam...
BTW depending on your region COPs can ticket you for distracted driving if you touch Dashcam while driving.
My Dashcam Screen Saver setting = 1min
My Loop Recording = 1min for 4K / 2min for 2K / 3min for 1080p video resolution footage.
Hi I have just purchased the A119 V3 and may seem like a silly question but what is the best way to down load to my iphone or my mac. Should I just unplugg it and use and SD Card reader with my mac or is there a simpler way. Thanks
SD card reader is best option.
does it have a wifi like A129? If not how do we see the video's if we need to see it immediately
A119 V3 does not contain WIFI chip.
What is the type of plug that attaches to the VIOFO camera called?
VIOFO A119 & A129 series Dashcams all use the same standard USB to mini-USB cable.
VIOFO A139 and newer models all use USB to Type-C cable.
Can anyone explain me what the loop recording setting does? Can you adjust the single file duration or anything else?
loop recording is how you control the recorded video file size by duration = 1, 2, 5, 10 min
normally set to 1 or 2 mins
Great video...iam a newbie, what's the use of GPS mount? can we stick without GPS mount? I mean my car doesn't have inbuilt gps, I use my phone.
So if gps mount can we get gps on the cam? Iam really very confused...please enlighten me
Pretty sure GPS is just to track your speed, which can be useful in some court cases I guess.
@@liamr6672 okay thank you
Most Dashcams offer GPS feature which for VIOFO allows displaying coords and/or speed on video footage. I disable those features but want the GPS on so it syncs with exact TIME as long as Time Zone is correct. Keeps the clips time stamp accurate.
@@bchobbyist okay, thanks s bunch
Do you need to stop recording and turn off the dash cam when you're done driving or can you just turn off your car and it automatically saves everything?
Dashcams continue to record video footage after enabling Parking Mode and connect power to vehicle fuse panel using hardwire kit OR powered temporarily from 5 volt USB Battery pack. Most Dashcam owners only power from accessory socket or USB port which cuts power when vehicle ignition is off, in that case Parking Mode will not work.
@@bchobbyist Sorry but that didn't answer my question. What I was asking was once i'm done with my day and turn off my car, does my dashcam need to be manually turned off for it to save the footage it recorded or does it automatically save the footage and turn off by itself with the car (mine is connected to a USB port).
@@MinecraftGuy237 There is no reason to touch the Dashcam before turning off your vehicle. All Dashcams work that way. It will finish recording the last clip running from built-in supercapacitors power (1-5 secs). FYI - if you did power off the Dashcam manually before turning off vehicle it usually doesn't turn on automatically when you start another drive, you'd have to manually turn it back on which is troublesome.
if i want the front and back as a package, is there a different number to order or do you just order items separately?
as far as i know as of Dec 2022 Viofo no longer sells V3 rear panel upgrade kits.
Great video and thanks for posting. Just hooked mine up today. Can you help with a problem I have with my Viofo Dash Cam? It records beautifully, but when I download it on computer, it plays back at least 3 times as fast. What can I do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated!!
it's likely that you accidently turn on the time lapse recording. You may find it in the settings and turn it off.
@@ViofoDashcamOfficial Thank You so much!! That is what the problem was. Works great now!! Thanks, again!!
Hi, I'm looking to buy a dashcam, and this Viofo has been currently one of the top picks, so can you tell me your impressions of the dashcam, were there any bad things and possible suggestions. 😁
@@imeprezime1069 I love it! You do have to play around with the menu to get everything right. I would definitely get one. For the price, you can't go wrong. If you get one and have questions, let me know.
Is there a way to keep video showing while driving. Mine says record but screen is black
not recommended to leave dashcam screen on while driving since some counties have distracted driving laws resulting in a ticket. Look in Settings for Screensaver and set to longest duration or OFF.
Hey BC Hobbyist - how is it with the screen brigtness at night? Is it on all the time or does the screen saver option turns off the screen while still recording?
All Dashcams include the Screensaver setting ranging from 15 seconds to 3 mins. Leaving the Dashcam LCD on continuously is too distracting and not wise, it also creates additional heat and draws more power.
Is there any other company I can buy the hardwire set from? (Not viofo)
The A119 V3 1440p Dashcam uses proprietary 3-wire HK3 ACC Hardwire Kit for continuous Parking Mode Protection. Dashcam Firmware is coded to detect the HK3 voltage changes which may not match other brand hardwire kits data signals.

What's the maximum amount of time this camera will record for? Is it 3 min (in loop recording) or is it more if you scroll down?
The A119 V3 Loop Recording setting has 1, 2, 3, 5, 10min options. When using higher bitrates for detail select 1-3min or risk file corruption at 5 or 10min clip loops.
Is it possible to write only if it detects movement. ???
The main function of Dashcams is to record continuously while driving. There is also a Parking Mode feature which requires continuous power when vehicle is off. Most common Dashcam setup is to select Loop Recording for 2-3mins and if powered by Hardwire kit directly to vehicle fuse box allows Parking Mode option of Auto Parking Mode which only records motion or vibration trigger event.
There is however an very old setting which was used before 2016 named Motion detection which was the original Parking Mode, it isn't used much anymore. Suggest using 64 - 128 GB microSD memory card to save more normal continuous video capture footage clips.
@@bchobbyist thank you very much for the info...!!!
Have purchased this model .. Question after watching all videos on this model and have not found out How to use playback on the unit ????
To view videos or photos on A119V3 Dashcam LCD screen = press REC to stop recording > press middle-red-triangle Emergency snapshot button > use REC or MIC to select Video or Photo files > press middle-red-triangle to view Playlist > select clip then press middle-red button to Play > press MENU to go back (bottom 3 buttons match the icon screen functions) More details here > viofo-a119-v3-dash-camera-review.blogspot.com/
Plan to create A119 V3 playback feature video.
Is there gonna be a 4K / wi-fi / front camera dashcam from viofo? Or a wifi version of A119 V3 Dashcam?
Viofo A129 Pro Front 4K 2160p + Rear 1080p WiFi Dashcam listed on Amazon September 2019. Early test footage and reviews online August 18, 2019.
Question I just purchased this camera and I noticed it doesn’t record at night?
All Dashcams with Parking Mode feature enabled require continuous power after vehicle is off. Some cams have specific wiring requirements and will drain vehicle battery greatly if installed incorrectly.
BC Hobbyist I hardwired it to my fuse box to my accessory fuse and to the stereo fuse
@@Arnolschuachenegga Stereo/radio circuit gets zero power when ignition is off thus cannot supply power for Parking Mode. Try the ACC or dome light fuse, consult vehicle manual for always on power circuit.
BC Hobbyist yeah I did use the ACC fuse which I though supplied constant power while the car is off but maybe that’s not the case for my car I will look at some fuse diagrams thanks!
Do you think Auto Event Detection can be pushed as a firmware update for the A129 or does it require hardware?
Viofo has now included the new buffered Parking Auto Event Detection Mode feature. Buffered Parking was always supported by hardware.
BC Hobbyist but do you think the A129 can support buffered recording? If so do you think VIOFO will push out an update for the A129?
The A129 already has Buffered recording when Viofo Beta firmware v1.80 is loaded, once testing is complete it will appear on Viofo's firmware page. Buffered feature only works when Parking Auto Event Detection Mode is selected. Viofo should have included the Buffered feature when A129 Duo was originally released. Now it confuses owners such as yourself.
BC Hobbyist it does. I was confused. Thank you for clarifying.
I have the A119s.... firmware 4.0.
I have no auto event detection???
The A119S backplate is V2 with 2018 firmware and replaced with new A119V3 with v1.02 buffered Parking Mode 2019 firmware. I doubt Viofo will ever update the firmware for old discontinued A119S , A119Pro , A119V2 models.
My settings keep resetting itself randomly any solution to this
We have a special firmware to solve this issue. Please communicate with our support to get it.
@@ViofoDashcamOfficial is it version 2.6 firmware? Already updated
@@mets23q Is it V2.6T-20220215? If not, then the firmware you use is not what I told you.
@@ViofoDashcamOfficial where can I download that firmware can you send me link please
@@mets23q The link cannot be sent here successfully. We have tried to post here three times but it will be deleted automatically. Could you please enter our official website and communicate with us?
Hello, I enjoyed your video very much. It's very informative.
I have it hooked up to my USB charger. How do I turn it off when I don't need it?
The A119 V3 has a Power button when needed. If connected to vehicle fuse circuit that cuts power when ignition is off the Dashcam will turn off after 6 seconds and turn back on when vehicle is running. If connected to any other power source (not vehicle battery) and don't want continuous recording options are to unplug power cable or enable Parking Mode.
@@bchobbyistThank you,
SO I have enabled the Parking Mode on. I will test to see if the camera is off after a while. I think it should be. But not sure
@@bchobbyist I tested it under Parking Mode but it doesn't seem to work. The camera still takes a ton of videos.
V3 has many Parking Modes, for least amount of useless clips select Auto Event Detection then set Parking motion to Low and Parking G-senor to High (it only works with Viofo Hardwire Kit). Using Parking Mode = Low Bitrate Recording results in the most clips as continuous footage with sound but the files are smaller than normal recording. Must try each setting until one matches your preference and parking area.
@@bchobbyist It actually made sense. The camera continues to record all night. However, I did notice a significant smaller file size during Parking Mode. I do have a 256gb drive, so I'm not too worry.
Now I have to figure out whether the car battery will allow me to do it.
Hi BCH, a question for anyone, now with version 1.03 do you recommend any changes on the settings from this video or do you still have the same?
Suggest keeping the same settings until firmware inserts new features. Adjust the image brightness by angling the Lens slightly down to brighten road or slightly up to reduce blown-out white sky.
Thanks man, I will follow your advice, I am recommending this dash cam to many of my friends and family.
BTW, do you plan to make a MOD for this Camara?
Viofo A119 V3 1440p Dashcam modified firmware is currently being tested, not releasing until G-sensor bug is fixed in baseline firmware.
Hi, can I ask you for your impressions and possible suggestions for this dashcam, since I am interested in buying this cam?
Whenever I connect the dashcam to the computer I get a picture of the usb cable on the screen, what does that mean?
The USB symbol/message indicates Dashcam is in Data Transfer mode same as USB Memory Stick. To power on Dashcam outside vehicle suggest using 5 volt Power Bank or 5 volt USB cellphone charger. Computer USB 1.0/2.0 port usually doesn't supply enough volts or Amps to properly start dashcams.
Does this cam have any wifi capability?
The A119 series are basic Dashcams with zero support for Wifi or 2nd camera.
why would you take 1440p@30fps over 1080p@60fps?
much better fine detail at double the resolution using 1440p instead of 1080p, its much more obvious comparing clarity between 1440p (2K) vs 2160p (4K) for the same reason. Higher resolution always beats lower resolution even at 1080p 120fps.
If you are transcoding for 20x playback of long trips it does not matter. 1080 is better if fitting to size is going on anyway since you should always be scaling to a multiple or cropping to match pixels. 1440 will divide well to fit into 720.
when available in the USA?
Confirmed the A119 V3 1440p Dashcam will be available around June 14.
Check Viofo's website for details www.viofo.com/
Other vendors should have inventory by that time. New firmware should also be available later this month.

What is the type of plug that attaches to the VIOFO camera called?
