A129 Plus Duo

Pulled some footage the other day as I had captured a funny road rage incident, it was the first time I looked at a recording on a decent screen and the video quality is simply outstanding. The video is crystal-clear, with vivid colors and sharp details that make it easy to identify license plates, road signs, and other important details. The front and rear cameras provided a complete picture of what's happening on the road, with separate video clips, each time stamped with its own audio. Overall amazed at how much better the quality was than my old dash camera, which itself was a class-leading model. I went for the hardwire kit so I could make use of one of the standout features - parking mode. It's reassuring to know that the camera is still recording even when I'm not driving, providing me with protection against vandalism and parking lot scrapes. You can customize the settings to suit your needs, whether you want to record continuously or only when motion is detected. The mobile app is incredibly convenient, allowing me to access the footage captured by the camera from my smartphone or tablet no matter where I am. Installation was a breeze, and the user-friendly interface makes it easy to customize the settings to suit my needs. The Viofo A129 Plus Duo has been incredibly reliable and has given me peace of mind knowing that I'm protected and always prepared for the unexpected. I really can't recommend this enough. If you're in the market for a top-quality dash camera system, this is definitely one to consider. It's worth every penny and has exceeded my expectations in every way possible.

I spent a good few days researching dashcams before settling on this one. It's a vast and quite bewlidering market to explore with many makes / models / features to consider, so I sat down and made a list of what I wanted from a dashcam, it went something like this: 1) Two cameras, 1 front and 1rear 2) Good picture quality, based not just on the quoted advert numbers but by finding the cameras of interest on You Tube and seeing for myself how good / bad the footage was. 3) No Lith Ion battery inside but a capacitor instead. 4) Small and compact. 5) Must be detachable from the windscreen 6) Must have GPS co-ordinates, Time / Date, Speed and the ability to have the Reg Number stamped on recorded footage .... Reg number is handy if you get yours cloned, there's lots of it about now with ULEZ schemes etc going on and it can help prove the car was elsewhere at the time if you get a fine dropping through the letterbox that's not yours. 7) Easy and intuitive to use - I'm a digital Idiot so the easier the better, 8) Must have good user reviews The Viofo A129 Plus Duo ticked all of the above boxes for me so I sent off for one via Amazon and it arrived within 48 hours as stated. I'm not having the hard wire kit yet because I don't want the parking feature until I've discovered how it'll affect the 12v battery. My car's a self charging hybrid and I need to find out if the camera being permanently live will have any adverse effects, so for now it's just plugged into the cigarette lighter. Fitting the camera was a breeze, it was all installed in about 1/2 hour with all the wires hidden from view, apart from where they go into the cameras of course. The supplied cables are plenty long enough for most normal cars I imagine, my car is an average size hatchback (Toyota Corolla) and there was ample to go to the rear camera, in fact there's now a fair bit of excess wire hidden behind the headlining. Setting up the Wi-Fi was really easy as well, so I was soon into the menu putting in the reg number to display on the video footage. Once everything was done I went out for a run. The camera comes on automatically as soon as the car's "Power" button is pressed and the screen lights up in about 10 seconds, it stays on for around 3 mins then goes out so you can forget all about it (it can be set differently in the menu). The two red LEDs remain lit, the left hand one flashes if recording stops for any reason and is accompanied by a "Beeping sound". The other red LED is for the microphone which can be turned off if not required and that light will then go out To say I was impressed with the picture quality of the Viofo would be an understatement, it really is top notch. We'd had a terrific rainstorm before I went out on the test run, but the clouds had parted and the late afternoon sun was directly in front and also reflecting off the wet road. I honestly didn't expect any decent footage at all from that bit, but when I got home and popped the pics onto my PC monitors I was amazed at how well the camera had coped with the harsh light, it was incredible and there was very little lens flare. On the way back home the sun was shining onto the rear camera and that had also coped exceptionally well with it. I use two large photo editing monitors and the videos from both cameras are pin sharp on them. Gripes? Well there aren't many really - so far - apart from maybe Viofo not including a micro SD card in the box, also they don't even appear to be including an SD card reader / adaptor anymore - which they used to do. Not a major problem but just a bit "penny pinching" really, so you will have to budget for buying the SD as well and Viofo spec high class ones which aren't that cheap. I bought a 128gb one for a good price via an Amazon deal which should last best part of a week or two before it overwrites. To sum up - these are simply brilliant little cameras, they're very small and unobtrusive but they feel very well made and for the price they're excellent value. There are some good videos on You Tube on the set up and fitting of the A129 Plus Duo, as well as quite a few video samples. Viofo recommend the SD card is formatted every month, this can be done in situ. I think you can set up a format reminder via a beep on the front cam, I seem to recall seeing it somewhere. I've set a reminder in my phone instead as I'm more likely to see that. The cameras have been fitted for about 2 weeks now but I'll follow up this review in a couple of months to report how they're doing.

Pros: This camera has great picture quality in the daytime. I haven't checked the night time footage yet. The size is smaller enough not to cause interference or distraction when driving. The pads on the camera stick really well. I used Amazon basics 256gb micro SD card and works well. The camera angle is easy to adjust. I had an accident and the crash detection kicked in and locked the footage. Negatives: It took 2 days to set up during to complications. I had to take a long route to update the software, but the customer support team were great. The app (free) is very poor and much easier to take the camera in than to save through the app. It's a bit difficult to remove the memory card once in. I used Amazon basics 256gb micro SD card and works well. Another problem I found is the camera doesn't like any other charging socket other than the one supplied. Sometimes I have to unplug and reconnect again to get the footage recording again. Only 3 clips came in the box, and needed another 10 for the rear cable and further 3 for the front. Despite the negatives I am going to purchase another camera for my wife's car.

Thankfully I've not needed to use the footage yet, but the quality of the footage I've taken off of the camera to test has been good. Some reviews I read said there was choppy video, but the only time I've seen is when my vehicles electronics haven't been fully on (Not hardwired). It's fast to turn on and starts recording almost immediately, with very little startup sequence. Due to the setup of my car I had to put it on the opposite side of the rear view mirror so it wasn't in the way, but it's small enough to fit behind a rear-view mirror if you don't want to the distration, and the design is subtle enough that it's not standing out to other road users, or potential thieves when parked.

C'est une bonne Dashcam. La qualité est au rendez-vous et fonctionne très bien. Elle est facile à mettre en place. Le plus dur, en perte de temps, c'est de passer les câbles derrière les garnitures (ça ne m'a prit qu'une demi heure). A l'utilisation, c'est plutôt simple, mais il n'y a pas de notice en français. Elle n'est qu'en anglais et allemand (un comble quand on sait que les Dashcam sont interdites en Allemagne. d’ailleurs, si vous passez la frontière, n'oubliez pas de l'éteindre). Mais vous trouverez facilement des vidéos sur Youtube qui vous la décrivent en long et en large. La qualité de l'image est bonne, on lit bien les plaques d'immatriculation. Pour l'utilisation en mode parking il vous faudra le kit spécial à brancher sur la boîte à fusibles (perso, je n'utilise pas ce mode). Je suis satisfait de cet article.

thanks

Partiamo dal design, la dashcam presenta un design compatto e discreto, ideale per essere installata senza dare nell'occhio. La qualità costruttiva è solida, con materiali resistenti che garantiscono una lunga durata nel tempo. Non sono i migliori che abbia mai visto su una dashcam ma sono lo stesso molto validi. La qualità video è eccellente grazie alla risoluzione 2K 1440P per la fotocamera anteriore e 1080P per quella posteriore. Le immagini sono nitide e dettagliate, permettendo di leggere chiaramente le targhe dei veicoli anche in movimento. La tecnologia utilizzata per la visione notturna assicura ottime prestazioni anche in condizioni di scarsa illuminazione. La dashcam è dotata di numerose funzioni avanzate, tra cui: - il wifi che permette di trasferire facilmente i video sullo smartphone tramite l'app dedicata che tra l'altro è anche ben fatta; - la modalità di parcheggio, garantendo una protezione completa anche quando l'auto è parcheggiata. - un ottimo sensore: rileva gli impatti e blocca automaticamente i video per evitare che vengano sovrascritti. -la registrazione in loop, si può suddividere in scaglioni di tempo prestabiliti e una volta piena la memoria vengono sovrascritti i file più vecchi, ad eccezione di quelli con impatto che vengono salvati a parte; - compatibilità con le micro sd, se rispettati i requisiti richiesti qualsiasi micro sd fino a 256 gb verrà sfruttata in modo ottimale senza il rischio di doverla formattare di continuo rischiando di perdere anche qualche file; - il supercondensatore, uno dei punti di forza della dashcam è proprio questo, funziona alla grande anche in condizioni di temperature elevate e a differenza di altre dashcam, anche molto più costose, questa non si spegne mai neanche d'estate nei giorni più caldi in assoluto (abito al nord Italia non è il posto più caldo ma non si scherza lo stesso). Questo permette la registrazione continua e la disponibilità dei video in qualsiasi condizione e vi posso assicurare che non è una cosa affatto scontata. Con le basse temperature stessa cosa, mai avuto problemi neanche in inverno. Il rapporto qualità prezzo a mio avviso è assolutamente bilanciato, non è una spesa di poco conto ma nemmeno una esagerata e per quello che il dispositivo offre direi che ci siamo. Di contro potrei forse segnalare che la configurazione iniziale può richiedere un po' di tempo per familiarizzare con tutte le funzioni se non si è già un pò esperti ma posso garantire che non è nulla di trascendentale e sicuramente non può essere un motivo valido per non scegliere questa dashcam. Concludendo, questo dispositivo è eccezionale, offre una qualità video ottima, numerose funzioni avanzate e un'affidabilità senza pari grazie al supercondensatore. Anche in condizioni di temperature basse o elevate o di scarsa visibilità e luce, questa dashcam garantisce la registrazione continua assicurando che in qualsiasi situazione avrai sempre un video dell'accaduto che è la cosa più importante in assoluto e alla fine il vero e unico motivo per cui dovrebbe essere comprata una dashcam. 5 stelle meritate.

Viniendo de hacer una devolución de otras cámaras de estas tipo espejo, he de decir que la calidad de estas me ha dejado con la boca abierta, simplemente perfecto para lo que son, y eso que no me cogí la de 4k. La instalación ha sido muy sencilla, y las cámaras están bien rematadas, con calidad, los adhesivos muy buenos y trae más de recambio. Se pueden desmontar las dos, desconectarlas para llevártelas por ejemplo, se me ocurre que a otro coche en el que se hayan puesto los cables y demás, solo se queda pegado el soporte, que en la cámara delantera es el sensor de GPS. O por ejemplo te puedes llevar la delantera para extraer los videos (porque tiene un conector USB para eso) sin sacar la tarjeta. Así no se corre el riesgo de deteriorar la tarjeta o el alojamiento de tanto sacarla. Tienen mucho angular sin producir un efecto ojo de pez exagerado. Muy fáciles de utilizar, en un ratito todo configurado. muy contento por el momento. Lo malo es que no llevan un ajuste lateral, ya puedes pegarlas eligiendo bien la orientación porque luego ya,,, a despegar,,, inclinación vertical si tienen. Son discretas. La cámara trasera (igual que la delantera) es ajustable en la compensación de la iluminación, lo cual viene bien si llevas la luna trasera tintada. La cámara trasera recoge la imagen sin invertirla, pero si se desea, existe esta función. Menús configurables en Español pero las instrucciones en papel vienen en Alemán e Inglés. La función GPS te graba, si quieres, la info de la velocidad y las coordenadas en el video. Coge los satélites muy rápido.

Prima Dashcam mit sehr guter Aufnahmequalität. Kennzeichen sind z. B. super zu erkennen. Ich war doch über die gute Qualität überrascht.
