Video quality is as expected...

Good product but expansive

Value for money Dash cam

Good quality of video. Easy to operate. The app could be better though, but not a deal breaker.

The picture quality is good even at night. The app is also great and helps in all the relevant tasks.

The video is of good quality with such a mini size dash cam. As a senior, I did a lot of research before choosing this Viofo A119 mini 2. Happy with my purchase and recommending others to use this for road safety. Now my wife has a peace of mind because it will automatically turn on and the parking mode monitoring will be on after the ignition of the vehicle is turned off. It can provide peace of mind by recording my drives automatically. It helps protect me by capturing video evidence in case of accidents, disputes, or even minor incidents, which can be crucial for insurance claims or police reports. It acts as a "silent witness," providing clear video evidence in collisions, hit-and-runs, or even traffic stops, which can streamline insurance claims and reduce stress from "he said, she said" arguments. At the size of a car key, it's easy to mount behind the rear-view mirror without blocking the driver's sightline—a crucial feature for seniors who may already deal with reduced peripheral vision or prefer a clutter-free windshield. Installation is straightforward via a simple adhesive mount and Type-C USB connection to the car's cigarette lighter, minimizing hassle (though professional help is an option if needed). With the HK4 hardwire kit which I purchased separately and installed to my 2024 crosstrek (see attached fuse slots #17 ACC and #32 battery), it enables motion-activated parking surveillance to monitor the car 24/7, deterring theft and capturing evidence—adding security for seniors who park in public spaces. The supercapacitor design (no battery) ensures it works in extreme temperatures (-4°F to 149°F) without failure, and it's built to last without ongoing maintenance. Overall, at an affordable price point (around CAD$1500–$180), the A119 Mini 2 combines pro-level performance with senior-focused simplicity, making it a smart, low-maintenance investment for safer, stress-free driving. After using it for a few days, I have the following tips to share with others. Maintenance - Format every few months for smooth performance. Maintenance: Wipe the lens monthly; update firmware via the app for new features. Battery Protection: It draws little power but I will unplug if leaving the vehicle for my vacation days. It is Still Recording When the Screen Turns Off. The dash cam is still recording even after the screen turns off after a few minutes. This is a built-in screen saver feature designed to save battery and prevent the LCD from overheating or draining power unnecessarily during long drives. The camera continues looping video in the background without interruption ; if you'd prefer the screen to stay on longer, you can adjust the screen saver timer in the settings menu (options like Off, 1 minute, 3 minutes, etc.) Last but not the least, the after sales service is excellent with good support from Layla. Thanks

Excelente dashcam. Lo compré después de investigar mucho y las Viofo siempre sale como la mejor en calidad de imagen, resolución y resistencia al calor y al paso del tiempo. Ni siquiera las 4 k tienen más resolución. Es más cara que las demás pero porque simplemente es la mejor. De qué sirve otra si no puedes distinguir unas placas o detalles importantes. La recomiendo totalmente.

Deciding on what to buy: I slaved over trying to find a quality dash cam without breaking the bank. Hours of reading reviews, I finally decided to pull the trigger on VIOFO. The Mini 2 seemed the best solution for what I was looking for. Bought a 128GB San Disk Max Endurance (only because there was a reasonable price differenced than the VIOFO equivalent), and the polarizing lens. Installation: Watched several videos on installation, I thought I needed to wire it directly into the fuse box, but after a last minute decision, I decided to use my cigarette lighter adapter (which comes with the dash cam). Recording during parking wasn't a need I had so it made sense. Installing on a 2017 Honda Pilot the lighter plugin was perfectly placed to wrap the wire around the passenger side and directly behind the dash. The cord was easily hidden, behind the dash and behind all the panels, it literally took less than 10 minutes to install. I placed the dash cam directly behind the rear view mirror so it was hidden from normal view. But if I needed to get to the dash cam I could look from below or simply move my mirror slightly to gain access to the cam. Very content with the placement. The only thing that wasn't to my liking was how it stuck to the windshield. After placing as per the installation guide, I looked from the outside and noticed there was a reasonably large bubble in the center of the glue pad. I was able to easily pull it off so I retried to stick it on again. Similar results. However after almost a month of use, I have had no issues with it falling off. Time will tell. They do provide a second glue pad in the kit so if it falls off, I'll probably use the new pad. Daily Use: Most of the settings were great out of the box. I think I increased the resolution a little, didn't max that in fear of issues or exceptionally large files. Also set the wifi to 5.8 (I guess that's equivalent to wifi6?). I turned recording audio off as I didn't see that as a need we had. I think that's all I changed. Every time I start up the car, within a few seconds it makes the start up noise and then proceeds to tell me it is recording. Felt like the start up time was very reasonable. After turning off the car, it makes a shutoff noise. No issues in usage. We did go over some rough patch on the interstate through a construction zone and it indicated it was going to lock the recording. Has only happened through that stretch of road so I didn't reduce the accident sensitivity. Felt like that's a good option. Mobile App: Many reviews of other products indicated poor mobile app quality. I must say that I have found the app to be very stable. To connect your phone to the dash cam, hold down the wifi button and it will enable the wifi. I think recording has to be stopped for that to work. Use your phone to connect and you can now make configuration settings to the cam as well as select videos/images to download. My settings save a file every 3 minutes. And with my higher resolution setting, the video files are around 553MB each. Downloading files seemed very fast, consistent, with no issues. I believe you can watch the videos directly streaming from the cam or when you download them you can watch them from the app even if you are not connected to the cam. So far, no issues. One surprising fact was when playing back a recording in the app, at the bottom of the screen it shows the movement of the car on a map. Thought that was a nice little feature. Quality of the video: I'm very content with the quality of the video. The video is crisp, clear both day and night. No issues. Overall: Installation was fast and easy. Daily usage I've had zero issues. Mobile app is easy to use and have no issues. A great buy! Definitely recommend the the Mini 2. Will be buying more for the rest of my families cars.

My first dash cam and I'm really impressed. The app is abit here and there but it works and that's what you need. Viofo is very good with keeping up with firmware updates so that's a plus too. I've ordered the polarising lens on eBay as it's not on Amazon so I'll be putting that on later on and see how it compares as I'm a day time driver. other than that it's great for my first dashcam alot of settings. still figuring a few things out but it's great.

Don’t scan the QR Code on the box it’s a scam subscription they take money from you!!! Quality is awful, can’t see license plates more than 1 car distance
