What do I like about this product? First of all, I want to congratulate the manufacturers of this Viofo dash cam for making such a fine product. I really like this dash cam. It was easy to install and is easy to use. It is very stealthy due to its tapered shape, and when installed near the top of the car’s windshield, it is hard to see from the outside unless one is really looking closely at the windshield. The picture quality is very good and together with the updated CPL, it looks even better. I showed some of the video recorded by the dash cam from both daytime and nighttime driving to members of my family and they were amazed by the high quality of them, from such a small and inexpensive camera. The pictures were crisp, clear, well focused and had great color saturation. The microphone is also very sensitive and records very clearly, sounds made within the vehicle, like music on the radio, conversations, etc. Knowing that, one would need to be sure to mute the microphone while conducting private conversations.
I have a heightened sense of confidence and security just from knowing that the dash cam is installed in my car. There are lots of very good reviews on the Internet about the Viofo A119 v2 dash cam, and it was because of those reviews, I bought mine. I so pleased with it that I told two members of the family that I am thinking of buying one for each of their cars.
The second observation pertains to the auto-start function upon the application of power. I have the dash cam connected to a fuse panel using a direct connect kit with the applicable fuse holder attachment. During the first two weeks, I noticed that the camera did not always power up after the ignition was engaged and the car was running. I noticed that happened on three occasions. It powered up however, after I pressed the power button. I checked and double checked the wiring connections and everything was firm and correct. I have the dash cam connected to an accessory fuse that is only energized after the ignition has been activated.
I was using the optional GPS mount and the power cable was connected to the GPS module. I had not been using the dash cam with the power cable connected directly to it, so I didn’t know if that issue is related to being powered up via the GPS module.
After the third power up issue, I sent a note to OCD Tronic - Amazon Marketplace about the matter and asked other general questions. I received a detailed response within a few minutes, where they answered my other questions and I was told how to resolve the power up issue. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick response and its thoroughness. It gave me a stronger sense of appreciation for purchasing the dash cam. To me, the customer service was outstanding.
OCD recommended that I do not power the dash cam via the GPS module, but to always connect the power cable directly to the power port on the camera itself. They also assured me that the GPS module will continue to function as normal because it will receive its power through the pins connected to the dash cam. That solved the power up issue that I was experiencing. It has now been over two weeks and I have not had another power up issue since pulling the power cord directly into the port on the side of the dash cam.
I would recommend that anyone considering buying this dash cam, purchase the OCD Tronic verified version. You will get excellent customer service with an outstanding product. Highly recommended.

Great Product!
The camera was very easy to install and was easy to route the long cable (provided), through the side of my roof board. It also comes with a very nice car charger which has two usb ports and the ability to charge a device at 2.1A with the camera being powered at the same time.The image quality is great even in low light conditions and i was able to see a thiefs number plate and face which i provided to the police for investigations. There are plenty of modes such as parking, motion detection, quality and fps, gps, stamps etc and they all work to some extent. You will need to read the manual to understand what some functions do.The problem i have with this camera is that even with the G-Sensor off, it constantly decides to automatically store the footage for any small bump on the road. It seems to not function at all however this was not always the case. Im unsure what causes this, could it be the temperature? Your guess is as good as mine. The other issue is that ive occasionally pressed the power button to view the display and ensure it is recording and twice it has shown me a completely white screen with no information on the display. This tells me that the camera has some issue, at first i thought it was a setting with the white balance but since no data is on the screen, it probably isnt recording anything at all. This could be related to temperature as i removed it from the GPS dock and let it cool and it seems to work again.Overall the camera is really good, the GPS works flawlessly with the downloadable software and it has worked well for 6 months with only minor issues. However, if those issues came about during an accident, you could very well miss the footage so i always recommend testing your SD every week or so and viewing the display every so often to make sure you arent recording a blank screen.

Best bang for the buck dashcam

I spent a few weeks researching which dashcam to buy for my car and have finally settled for the Viofo A119 v2. Now that I have been using this dashcam for a few weeks I must say it has so far met all my expectations... It is easy to setup, to install, and to operate. Excellent video quality is the icing on the cake.
Installation:
I included a couple of install images below. The included USB wire that connects to the supplied lighter adapter is long enough for me to be able to do a relatively clean install. I routed/inserted the wire on the edge of the windshield, down to the dash panel, and finally underneath the center console to mostly hide it from view.
Note that there are three sheets of EVA foam inserts included in the package. I found out that I needed to use one of these to secure the connection between the GPS mount and the DashCam. Without the foam, there is vibration manifested by crackling sound being recorded in the video. Please check the images on how the EVA foam is installed on the back of the DashCam.
Setup:
The included foldout manual does a good job explaining how to go about setting up the Viofo A119. In my case, all that is needed is to enter the correct Date/Time and Time Zone (-5 GMT for Eastern Standard Time) for my location. I left most other options at default for now.
Operation:
The Viofo A119 defaults to record when you turn on the car's ignition and stops recording a few seconds after you shut off the ignition. There is a distinctive chime that alerts you that the camera has begun recording right after you turn on the ignition. The record button then lights up in red. The LCD monitor also displays what is being captured by the camera for a couple of seconds before turning off (time can be programmed). The inclusion of the LCD monitor is useful when setting up the camera and orienting the lens for the first time. You can also review the videos captured by the A119 in this monitor. Personally I prefer to just take the Micro SD card and download the files to my PC for viewing.
Note that the Viofo will emit continous warning beeps whenever it detects a problem. I have forgotten to re-insert the SD card a few times and the DashCam warned me as soon as it booted up after I turned the ignition on.
The last two images are screen captures of the video played on my computer... One in daytime and another in nighttime. I am very happy with the simplicity and more importantly, the captured video quality of this unit. When the video is viewed at 1440p (2k), the plate numbers of cars immediately in front can be read.
