This is the Viofo A119 Mini Review with tons of sample footage. Could this be the best new budget dashcam in 2022? This video includes a history of the camera (and a bit about Viofo), day time footage, night time footage (low light), highway footage, rain footage and more video samples.
Now with fixed audio!
Please note that Viofo sent a sample of this camera for review. They do not pay me any additional compensation, nor do they have a say in the video content I produce. This video is made solely on first hand experience with the device.
The quick summary is that this camera sets a new bar to beat in terms of video quality for the price. Viofo has often been the camera I compare other brands against, and they have another slam dunk on their hands. It remains to be seen if this camera will hold up long term, but if their past history is anything to bank on this camera treated right could last for years.
This camera does have some heat performance issues reported by other users, but likely because of my climate (Canada, and not a hot summer so far) I have not seen these same issues. The camera gets WARM but does not shut off.
Viofo has yet again set a standard for price versus video quality. I can't wait to see who is next to beat it!
A couple recommendations:
- Don't bother with this camera if you want to use 1080p footage. It's best in 2K30 or 2K60.
- Get the hardwire kit for parking mode. This piece is an added cost (sold separately).
- Make sure to get an endurance memory card. I use Sandisk Endurance ( https://dreki.tech/sandisk-endurance )
