Thanks Chris for your help. Video is very useful. My A129 has arrived the next day. Thanks for the great Aussie service!

This is a good intro/overview video for a beginner. Some items on the menu that were skipped over could have used a brief look/see, but overall, this info is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Thanks for the video and sending my dash cam so fast!

Thanks, this vid is so helpful with the basics, cheers for that effort Chris!

Great video, thanks for teaching and not just assuming I knew how to do the task.

Thanks very helpful video and thanks for the fast delivery of my Viofo A129.

Excellent video. Just what a newbie needed.

Your video answered my question very clearly. Thank you!

Thanks for this user guide on the Viofo A129. Very helpful. I have the A119 until now and am thinking of trying to connect that to a powerbank and use it at home with a short time lapse. Have a great day. 😀

Great video! Very helpful!

Excellent, thanks a lot!

Never would have discovered how to engauge menu button. Thanks!

Me too. The little instruction manual is not that helpful. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

thank you, this is very helpful.

This is the best operation video I've seen on this camera, the book that come with the camera leave's a lot out of the operation instructions. Thanks

Very useful, thanks.

Fantastic video mate thank you so much. Do you know what setting I can change 24hr mode to 12 hrs and also do you know what time zone is central time zone for United state

Best explanation 🙏🏼🤍🤍

Very clear in instructions.

Excellent information

What's the difference with Motion detection and auto parking record? In my understanding, they do the same thing but maybe Motion Detection does something more that Parking Mode auto-detect doesn't?

I installed a new A119, with parking mode connections. And I noticed when I leave the motion detection mode the camera recording, and after a few hours, when I start the engine and drive the camera still stays in motion detection mode, and does not automatically switch to normal driving mode, why is that?

When you save a file - will it actually save 3 files so that you don´t miss the action you saved the file for?

Wondering if you have ever had an issue with the dash cam where it says must format on screen. I put in a new SD card and can't get to the menu files. Screen says microSD Reader Mode. Not sure what's going on and help would be appreciated.

great ! thanks

Can you use obd2 for parking mode?

I tried to connect camera to PC with original black cable, but I couldn't do it, there is notthing pop up on my PC. My camera mode is a129 plus A129PLUS2201733, I am wondering is that not able to connect straight to PC by that way? have to be take the small sd card out then user different card reader to read the data with this mode?

Thanks. Great lil tutorial especially when you lost the instructions like me. 👍

How do you see previous video tho

So after a day my camera wipes my sd card can i turn that off?

If your A129 is correctly hardwired using the Viofo 3-wire hardwire kit then you leave it in Parking Mode the whole time and it will switch between parking mode and normal drive mode as you start or stop your ignition automatically. If you do have the correct hardwire kit then you will need to switch it on and off manually every single time.

What does the boot delay setting do ?

@dashcamscentral4244

5 жыл бұрын

The Boot delay basically is only an advantage for cameras that are hard wired, and only on certain vehicles. It may also depend on the particular fuse and/or circuit you hardwire to. On some vehicles , because of on board diagnostics which occur on startup, it may mess with th the start up of your camera. Your cam may start stop on start up and may not go into record mode on start up because of your vehicles start up procedure. If this is an issue then you can enable the boot delay to ensure you cam will start up and start recording as it should. This is dependent on the brand and type of car you have. Comes down to trial an error.

Thanks, it was very helpful.

I think the screen saver setting will apply equally to driving mode and to parking mode. You can't have screen stay on continuously while driving but turn off during parking.

12:35 - Other reviewers seem to be choosing to change the 'firmware' from 1.1, to 1.5 via the VioFo website . . . . . is there a reason, and is there a reason why you didn't ? Thanks - Great upload BTW

Could be a faulty Micro SD card. Try a different card and do a reset using the pinhole button on the side of the cam. If that does not work go to the viofo.com global website, download the latset firmware and reload your firmware.

my camera stopped recording

Your finger pressing the side of the camera is not seen at the start of your presentation. I noticed it later. You should demonstrate this clearly as not everyone is so familiar with the technology. I also did not see you explaining how to start the motion sensor detection... I need to say that the A129 user manual little brochure from the producer is not helpful as it does not clearly say how to find the motion detection. Thank you anyway for taking time to explain about the item.

I just had one of these for an hour and sent it back to Amazon. I wanted a plug and play camera and this was way too much. It was always on, you had to push too many buttons to get into the camera to access the menu, it didn't always want to let you in. The menu was deep and frustrating to access using the buttons given. On top of everything, I didn't want to disassemble my new Honda CR-V or have to pay someone $200 to install the rear camera. It wasn't for me, but could be what you want. I just want something that will record while I'm driving and maybe 3 years down the road have a video of an accident I might be in that I can look at and show that I wasn't at fault. I may never even need it until that happens. All these other features are useless until that day. I need something way simpler than this, starting with a menu button, not a stop recording button and then quickly hit the hamburger button and the menu might appear, because mine wouldn't most of the time. That's when I boxed it up and sent it back.

Nooo

Not trying to be negative but you’re video was way to long and talky. Just get to the point

Rubish Product, avoid

Viofo dash cam is last sh*t - I had two and both are defect after no a year (one after 6 month). Front camera doesn't work, rear camera records only in black/white, no upgrade is possible... For such one poor quality it's too expensive, actually it's a no go for anywhere priced products. Especially there is no support from Viofo team! I defenitly don't recommend this Product (and manufacturer)!
