Good choice. Do make sure to check your footage every now and then. One problem that has popped up was the base seems to loosen up over time on some people’s A119 causing the cam to be susceptible to vibrations and video to blur on less than perfect roads…
A simple fix with a precut foam (free under warranty) or DIY with a few small pieces of adhesive backed Velcro, but something to be aware of.
No problem and certainly no hard feelings, I thought you were really excited about theA119 cam. I’ve got several and haven’t put o e in my vehicle yet. I’m going to Atlanta and back on Monday so I’ll prolly install one this weekend. Never know when you’ll run into trouble and need some evidence to protect yourself.
You want to buy a car recorder, you can choose DAB211, I bought it in the previous time, the video is very high definition.
Just one note about capacitor models.
I have 2, one on the bike and one in the car.
The capacitor will discharge after about 2 weeks of no use and the cameras then lose any time and date setting you may have set. YMMV.
Mine are still going strong after several years in the heat, unfortunately still filming incidents of poor driving.
The car one is easy to reprogram, but the bike one (Innovv C3, 90 degree lens) is a PITA because it needs to be dismounted.
Also the windscreen suction cup will fall off when parked on hot days. Temp in the car can be over 60C/140F.
I had a G1W, battery model, and the same thing happened
Now, I use Viofo A119 with GPS module
When turn on it set time and date from the GPS module
Some great info here but have a newbie dashcam question for those in the know…
Would love a dual-channel dashcam but don’t see the need for high-resolution footage from the rear, as well as the headache of bringing wires from front to rear inside the headliner of a minivan. I’m mostly concerned about catching an event’s time-stamp and just being able to have proof if I were rear-ended.
Would a taxi-cam work for this type of scenario?
Thanks
I keep my eyes on these threads…I always think I want one…. Then I never follow through… But two channel front/rear? yea, I’m in. Been rear ended twice, had a phantom fender scrape I had to pay out of pocket (no camera)… The second rear end? I had to fight tooth and nail, get my insurance going, subrogate, and THEN her insurance took responsibility…
it was pure twilight zone. Without a police report they would not take responsibility without her word that she hit me.
I had pics of everything… car, vin, all damages… her insurance card, her DL… wtf… a video would have been a 2 month timesaver
Similar boat I’m in, wife was rear-ended and she got his insurance card, vin, plate #, phone number. Still no idea why she didn’t call the police, thankfully there were no injuries and fairly minor damages (bent receiver hitch, one parking proximity sensor not working) but at this point I think he could say she backed up into him.
I would recommend Viofo A129 Duo
I have it and it’s perfect for price.
I second XXX-Man’s recommendation.
I also have one, it’s great, very clear video both front & rear and there is only one wire to run from front to rear.
I did mine under (not over) the doors and it only took me about 10 minutes including having it all hidden and connected to the rear cam in a 5 door Civic.
If you really don’t want to run wires to the rear, there are dash cams with two cameras, one of which points rearward. There are some significant cons to it though.
With a wifi setup like the one above, you might have very little wiring to do if you have a power port or inverter in the back.
My family finally got sick of not having a dash cam...
My mom just ordered a Viofo A119 v3 along with a Viofo Hardwire Kit.
(The Viofo A119 v3 is one of the best bang for your buck dash cams that have just one camera.)
I just remembered -- we need to get a microSD card as well.
I have one bookmarked, so my mom just needs to order it.
Then we will be set. 
EDIT:
And it is ordered!
Be sure to spend the few extra bucks on a name-brand ‘high endurance’ microSD card. 
This is the microSD card we ordered:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KXQX3S3
It's supposed to be a good one.
I don't know if it is high endurance.
I’d recommend picking a different card.
‘High endurance’ cards are more suited for continuous recording and being constantly overwritten, as in surveillance and dash cameras.
For example, Amazon has a SanDisk 128GB high endurance model for a couple bucks cheaper than the one you ordered.
The other major brands make ‘high endurance’ cards too. Most will use that term in the item name.
Thank you!
We just cancelled the order for the other microSD card and ordered the one you linked to.
You’re welcome!
I’d also suggest occasionally taking the card out of the dash cam and putting it into your computer to verify that it’s recording properly.
This one is high endurance and they’re usually labeled as such. I used a regular one in my dash cam and it failed after several months. As I understand it, regular ones are not made for the constant write/delete/rewrite cycles. The high endurance ones are and the new ones have lasted almost two years and still going strong.
after having bad experience with few cams, that had great reviews, i only now use cams that stick to the glass, no suction cup mounts, no mirror mounts, they all allow camera to shake\vibrate, it makes lic., plates unrecognizable on the go, even though when the car is stopped, they look very clear. you want rear cam too,
On Thursday, we had a mechanic install the dash cam, but we didn't have him install the hard wire kit.
Today, I changed the settings of the dash cam to where they should be (according to my research).
Also, it's a good thing we only got a 128GB microSD card because that's the largest capacity card that the dash cam supports.
(I really should have looked that up before hand, but we lucked out.)
My mom watched Youtube videos on how to install the hard wire kit, and she's going to do as much as she can herself.
It'll probably take her forever to do it, but we don't want to pay a mechanic to do very much of it.
The mechanic we know charges $105 per hour, and he thought it would be about a two hour job, and he has installed these many times before.
