    Great review as always.
    Love Viofo dashcams. I have the A119v3 (single 2k) as well as the A129 Plus Duo (front 2k, rear 1080p).
    I plan to upgrade the A119v3 to the new A229 Duo (front and rear 2k).
    But maybe now I'll go for the A139 Pro.

    Dash cam not working.
    I just purchased a Viofo A139 pro, after many reviews I settled on this unit.
    And after 3 days many rounds with brused ribs from laying on my car seal .
    The problem was the unit would work intermittently would not stay on.
    The fix was the battery limits switch would shut it down in park mode. So pay attention to your battery voltage I had to put switch to the lowest voltage for it to stay on.
    It seems simple and stupid right , well it took me 3 days to figure it out , I hope this will save some poeple from a frustrating install.

  • @kogan31
    @kogan31 6 місяців тому

    I'm plagued with problems since i bought the cam 1.5 months ago. Constant beeping sounds and "fake recording" where it says 2 channel recording but actually there is none. Realized it was due to a faulty original Viofo 256gb SD card. Replaced it and was ok. Parking auto detection mode records everything, even light flickering. So consider it as constant recording instead of auto. Final straw was a total hardware failure where the unit keeps restarting. All known attempts to troubleshoot doesnt work, firmware update not possible as it cant even read the SD card due to the constant restart. Reached out to their support and awaiting response. Its been a lot of hassle and stress to constantly be paranoid if the camera is working or even recording. Now, its not even booting up.
