It’s compact and doesn’t block your view, and the install was straightforward. The recording is consistent and reliable, and the loop recording works as expected. Overall, it gives great peace of mind while driving. Definitely a solid choice if you want a dependable dash cam without spending a fortune.

To begin with, like many of you reading this and other reviews, there are so many dash cams to choose from and you want the best bang for your buck. I read reviews, watched videos, etc... and did much research. One particular video compared many dash cams from $50 ones and up to over $300 dash cams. In the end, this VIOFO A119 V3 was highest ranked for affordable dash cams and had quality very close to the $300+ models. Well, I had to see and use it for myself.... Unboxing, it was well protected and in taking it out of the box, it felt solid. It seemed well built and instructions were good. I installed it in my Tacoma and though I hate sticking any type of tape or products on my windshield, I took a chance without testing it first and stuck it on my windshield, wired it to my cigarette plug and hid wiring along windshield and down dash, etc... It was pretty easy to do and looks great. Barely enough wire to do what I wanted, but it was enough. Setup was pretty easy and after playing with different settings, frame rates, quality and all, I found that the default settings were best overall. Although some other settings looked a bit better for day time, night time quality was poor. The settings by default seemed to work best for both day and night. These settings were important to me as I go to work in the dark and come home when it's light. Quality of video overall were very impressive. Bright and pretty vivid colors in day time and night time looked pretty good too. Night time had a few more artifacts in the overall video, but that was expected and really did not hurt the quality much. Day time worked very well, though when you drive towards the sun, reflections can be an issue, but again, quality was still quite good. Not sure if a more expensive dash cam would be better or not, but quality was not poor enough for me to try other dash cams. Clarity when moving was good enough to see everything and wideness of the video was enough to cover the essentials needed in most situations on why one would buy a dash cam. As you travel, it was clear but clear enough as you pass road name signage and say, gas pricing on signs, but if you freeze the video, you can usually read them. I also travel in inner lane on a four lane road at 40 mph. License plates when moving were clear as you got close, but otherwise a bit blurry. But again, if you freeze picture, you can usually read them. This includes cars you pass or are passing you and the ones in front of you. I really have nothing to compare to, except Go Pros, but in videos I have seen on internet, the videos this camera shows are so much better than most I have seen. Travelling at slower speeds, you were able to read signage a bit better. Even though some signs were a bit blurred, overall video quality is very clear from slow speeds to highway speeds. It does not come with a memory card. I purchased the Samsund Pro Endurance 256gb and it has done wonderfully. 256gb is biggest card the camera can take according to manual. You need a card that can take the use and heat of the camera and elements and this card was recommended. It is easy to put in and remove. I did this many times as I tested different settings and viewed on computer. The size of this card is great as it will hold over a week of my driving habits before overwriting older videos. I was able to do this with camera mounted. You can also easily unmount and mount camera from windshield as needed. I would highly advise to buy the polarizing filter for this dash cam as the quality improves tenfold. I tried video with the polarizer and without. The quality is so much better with the filter and the $15 or so extra for it, is very well worth it. I would recommend this VIOFO A119 V3 dash cam for anyone wanting a good quality camera with very good video overall for an affordable price. You buy one too cheap, quality is usually horrible. Buy an expensive one, video quality may be a bit better, but is it worth the 3X price tag? I'm very happy with this camera and have not looked back. NOTE: I have not tried the parking settings, nor do I have it hooked up that way (you can buy a wiring setup to enable this camera to be used in this matter).

I used the HK3 install kit because my 2025 Camry had the wiring for a dashcam already up in the headliner behind a removable panel. Even had the hole in the very front of the headliner to run the USB. Installation was very straightforward, no more than a couple hours for a factory looking finished product. Picture quality is good to very good although I will be adding the polarizing filter as soon as it gets here. Glare can be fierce here in the desert where I live so I'm sure it will help. Settings are pretty easy to master although why it doesn't have time zones and only GMT +/- the appropriate number of hours I don't know but not a huge problem. Don't like the fact the clock is only a 24 hour version but only a big deal if you're recording an accident of some sort. The GPS information is very nice to have especially if you were to get pulled over for speeding erroneously. You could show the officer right there what speed you were driving and let it be known that it's also recording your conversation. Assuming durability is good, then this was a very worthwhile purchase. It seems well made, comes with extra stickums, some thin rubber vibration pads and three mounts (one GPS, two "regular" so if you needed to move it from car to car and it was not hardwired, you could easily do so. Also has some sticky hold down clamps to route the wiring if you can hardwire it out of sight. Unfortunately, it's a device that probably every car should have in this day and age with scammers on the highways, violence, carjacking and hit and runs in the parking lot (the parking feature works quite well from my test).

I spent a lot of time watching reviews on Dash Cameras before I decided to purchase the Viofo A119. The Viofo A119 got a lot of good reviews but it was always the caveat that it was extremely basic on features but the price was awesome. I didn't need all the features, nor want to pay for a "premium" dashcam to get parking mode, lane departure, and wifi but was concerned about its video quality when all the new dash cams are supposedly 4k. I struggled and was tempted to purchase a higher resolution dashcam but realized that I just wanted a very simple, small, and reliable dashcam that I can place in my car and forget about it. After receiving the Viofo, I was extremely pleased (impressed) with the video quality where it made me think to myself..."wow, why did it take me so long to buy this thing". I like that it has a capacitor instead of a battery so it should be able to handle the heat during the California summers in LA and haven't had any issues so far. Here are some extremely minor "wish list" items that I would like to see them incorporate: 1. I think the shape of the dashcam without GPS is perfect. Regardless, it's easy to place on the windshield but just don't care for the added depth with the GPS sensor added to it. I would have preferred that it was integrated and just made a little wider. 2. The mini-sd card is sometimes hard to get back in the dashcam and can't seem to figure it out but that is probably more of a "me" issue. 3. I was pleased that it came with a very long power cable and cigarette lighter but would have preferred a newer style USB-c plug. Just being a little selfish, as I could have used it for other peripherals and it's much easier to plugging it in. If you are contemplating whether you want to spend $100 or $300+, I would say...try this one first and you might end up being surprised ! I already bought one for my buddy for a gift and plan on getting another one for my wife's car. Glenn Update: July 7, 2021 Just wanted to add a quick update: I installed the Viofo V3 in my BMW 535d in January 2020. Having a capacitor inside was a one of the selling points since the car is parked outside, all day at work and at night when parked at my home. I haven't had any issues with it, so I am not sure if the other sellers got unlucky or I just got lucky but I just purchased another one during Prime Day; so I will let you know if I have any issues.

Update 5/22/2023, After the initial review, I had a few conversations with the company's CSR, and they were able to provide additional support and replaced the broken dashcam under warranty. While it is unfortunate that my original dashcam broke due to normal use, it's rare and refreshing for a Chinese company to actually stand by its product. Hopefully, the replacement dashcam will last longer than the last one. Original Review, The VIOFO A119 V3 dashcam is a complete disappointment, especially since it died after just one year of use. Despite its promise of high-resolution video and advanced features, the camera is simply not built to last. The camera's design is flimsy and lacks durability. The plastic housing feels cheap and lightweight, and the camera's mounting mechanism is prone to wobbling and shifting during use. This can cause the camera to become disconnected from its power source, leading to loss of footage and eventual failure. Furthermore, the camera's software was also problematic. It frequently froze or crashed, leading to lost footage or corrupted files. The menu system was confusing and difficult to navigate, and the camera's settings were not intuitive. Despite these issues, I was willing to overlook them because of the camera's affordability. However, I was extremely disappointed when the camera died after just one year of use. The camera simply stopped working and could not be repaired. This was a waste of money and a major inconvenience, as I relied on the camera for my daily commute.

This camera is a total disappointment for the price you pay. I have purchased over 8 different Dash Cams in the last few years and I have one on each of my vehicles so far this is the most expensive camera I have purchased thinking that it has good reviews and has the GPS integrated. Well, let me tell you that the $29 dash cam has the same cheap lagging software, the same sound on the start-up, the same cheap menu, and the video recording it is not above any of the other cheap cameras that you can find on Amazon for less than $35. The only difference is the GPS that not all the other cameras offer that. But many others offer WIFI for less than this one and even this one does not have WIFI. The most disappointing part is the incorrect information posted on the camera description about the Parking mode. Yes, it has it on the menu, BUT no it does not work by itself as all other cameras do because they have a rechargeable battery inside or a capacitor that feeds the camera when it is not connected or plugged in. So, if you want that feature you will have to hardwire the camera to constant power to your vehicle so it can record all the time, something you do not want to do if you want o keep your vehicle battery in good health to turn your car on after few hours being off. The camera record when it wants and then stopped recording and the rec light flashes rapidly waiting for maybe some movement. don't know this is the only camera that I have that does that. So if you are in a red light it does stop recording, something that you don't want because it may miss the action that was intended to record. I contacted CS about the issues I was having with the camera and they offered to replace the camera but only if I send mine at my own expense and once they received it and test it, they will issue a replacement. If I don't want to wait, I will have to pre paid them $60 for the value of the camera and they will send me a replacement one but I will still have to pay the shipping for the defective one. Something that should be covered by the manufacturer because it is under the warranty time period. Keep in mind all this information was obtained by the CS of VIOFO in a time-lapse of 2 weeks of emails back and forth because they take forever to respond. So if you want all the main features of this camera at a realistic price for the quality and software that you get, simply get another camera that is half or less than this one. It is not worth it. If I knew about all these issues during the Amazon return period, I would have it returned it immediately.

Buy the biggest capacity memory card you can for this dash camera. Now go buy the lens filter protector thingy for this camera as well and don't forget to buy some gorilla tape as well to replace the stock adhesive on this camera. Congratulations for around 150 USD you have one of the highest quality dash cameras with hours of footage available. Your settings will differ depending on your vehicle usage, but I highly advise and recommend you to set this camera's recording resolution in ultrawide (2560x1080.) This resolution (at least in my car) allows the camera to completely see everything in front of it, and line up more with what the driver is able to see behind the wheel. In ultrawide recordings the camera is able to see my entire front hood, but in regular 1080P (16:9 recording) the front "corners" of the hood are cut off. Please set your camera in ultrawide recording! If you live in a hot area like me (Houston, Texas. and it's humid as hell here) your stock adhesive will melt off during the summer! Personally I installed this during the summer and it only took a week for the adhesive to melt off! There is nothing you can do to prevent this, once your stock adhesive melts go buy some of the strongest version of "Gorilla Tape" you can, and make sure it's double sided! Once you stick on that gorilla tape it's not going to move or come off! During the hot and humid Houston summers (especially after replacing the stock adhesive with gorilla tape) this camera is absolutely incredible. Not once has the camera acted up, over heated or given me any issues (other than the stock adhesive melting.) With the lens filter thing, this camera is able to see perfectly fine during any time of the day or night. Everything is recorded perfectly crystal clear and this entire dash cam unit is tiny as hell. One time I had a dude road raging at me and followed me to work and not once did he notice the dash camera recording the entire situation. Even when he walked right up to my windshield and was standing over my vehicle did he notice the dash camera! The unit is literally able to hide behind your rear view mirror and no one will notice that a dash camera has been installed on the front of your vehicle. I won't lie I was terrified, but imagine that! Nobody notices this dash camera! All my friends, family and even myself have to really look hard for a few seconds to recognize "Oh that's a camera." Please buy this dash camera and the extra misc. items to make this the best dash camera ever! You probably spent thousands on your vehicle, what's a couple of hundred bucks (at the most) to have 24/7 recording footage of your vehicle.

Good but try to make smaller version

Bonjour, bon produit, livraison rapide, je recommande.

2017年にA119を購入して以降 大きなトラブルもなく使用し続けられたので 買い替えもまたViofo一択でした。 機種は迷いましたが、こちらのV3にしました。 A119で時折発生してた不具合が操作ボタンのタクトスイッチ接触不良と思われ ボタンを連打する事で不具合解消できてた事もあり こちらに交換後、スイッチの感触がかなり変わった印象を受けました。 スイッチ自体もA119とは違うのかもしれません。 それはさておき肝心の性能ですが やはり解像度が上がっている分、動画を一時停止した時に 対向車のナンバープレートはよりはっきり認識できますし なんなら対向車のドライバーの表情も認識できます。 ただ私的に重要な要素として認識度は勿論ですが 動画がカクツキなく再生できるかどうかという事なのです。 再生する動画ソフトによっても多少は変わりますが それ以前に記録されたものがすでにカクツキを起こしてる事も多々あるので それらが無い事が大事な要素だったりします。 そのような動画再生を望む私なので、60fps設定で使ってます。 で実際再生してみてどうなのかというと カクツキ0ではありません。 多少カクツキます。 使用しているSDカードですが、この機種を購入するにあたり Viofoのオフィシャルサイトで当時お勧めされていた SDSQXAA-128G-GH3MAを同時購入し使ってましたが 先月SDSQQVR-128G-GN6IA（高耐久 MAX Endurance R:100MB/s W:40MB/s ）に 交換しました。 カクツキはさらに減りましたが、皆無ではありません。 というかなぜSanDiskはお勧めできないんでしょうか？ 流石にViofo純正のカードなんて高すぎて買う気にはなれませんし カードとの相性がそんなにもシビアだとするならば そっちの方が問題なんじゃないでしょうか。 決められた規格に準じたカードでもAはダメでBならいいとかいう 相性みたいな事で片付けるのは止めてほしいです。 勿論、推奨規格以下のカードを使うなんてのは問題外ですけど。 とグダグダと書きましたが、A119を購入した時ほど 満足はできなかったのが本音です。 ただ70maiのA500s-1より動画の滑らかさは はるかにこっちの方が良いです。 後方カメラは無いですけどね。

A fantastic dashcam. This is the 4th one I have bought of the same model. Clear images, easy to set up and a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Très belle qualité d image, installation hyper facile
