Awesome camera

I recently got this cash cam professionally installed with a tamper-proof case that I purchased separately. The video recording is very clear, and the tamper-proof case relieves my anxiety about theft. A good choice for an older car that will probably not last for more than few more years.

I picked up the A119 Mini 2 dash cam because I wanted to see the Sony Starvis 2 sensor in action and didn't want to pay 2.5X the cost for the Viofo A139. For general footage and putting up crazy Youtube dashcam videos, any of the Viofo's will do the job. But license plates and details are more difficult. Even the 4K front cam on my A129, with the original Starvis sensor, struggles at night and to capture license plates. Capturing license plates while moving at night is the worst combination. They all suffer.

The Mini 2 with upgraded sensor does considerably better. Turning on the HDR is a noticeable improvement. I ran my Mini 2 alongside with my A129 4K in my car for a week. Some of the time, I ran it at 2K@60FPS. Sometimes, I ran 2K@30FPS with HDR on. While no dashcam is exceptional at getting license plates (even worse when moving and at night), the Mini 2 was noticeably clearer, even 2K compared to 4K with the A129.

My only complaint is that you can't run both HDR and 60FPS at the same time. Turning on HDR will remove the option to run 60FPS. And ideally, I'd like both. This shortcoming is not exclusive to the Mini 2. The top of the line A139 can't do it either and it appears there's no dashcam on the market that has this capability. Probably a sensor and processor shortcoming.

I also wish that I could have a setup with dual front and rear dashcams that both had Starvis 2 sensors. All manufacturers cheap out with 1080p rear cams.

So, I bought two Mini 2's and wired both into my car. I'm running dual Mini 2's, front and rear, both 2K with HDR. Short of replacing the front one with an A139, that's probably the best setup for this generation of tech. Oh, and spend the $15 to get the CPL filter.

This is the 2nd one I got for the household. Best value and quality for a solid 4k cam!

Very easy to install! Works amazing in my EV! USB port is a plus for charging extra devices without putting strain on my EV’s 12v battery system. Only downside was having to order a Micro 3 fuse tap but this is in no way a flaw with the product. Just keep in mind a 3rd party Micro 3 fuse tap may need to be purchased if you need to tap a micro 3 fuse.

Blind spots around a car are very dangerous. The more you can see your sides, close and wide, the better you are. I wanted to add a pictures of how I have it positioned but could not find out how to do that. Let it be that I do feel safer with this additional mirror.

Fast and good quality product

I've been using this filter on my A119V3 for a couple of years. I just picked up another one when I purchased an A119 Mini 2 with the updated Starvis 2 sensor. The filter clips on easily and works great, especially with glare and shooting into the sun. Would highly recommend.

This is exactly what I needed! With only using my Neo Cellink I was not getting enough run time to leave my dash cams in park mode on all the time, but with the addition of the EXT. I have enough run time plus more. This is a mush get if you have a short distance of charge time and have a multi camera system. I highly recommend investing in this if you already have a battery pack.

One of the smartest purchases I've ever made, the only thing that reveals that you have a camera inside the car. I have my car 360 Tinted window 5% would be excellent if they had Smocked color at least 50%

It’s great, I bought this to use with a polestar 2 because I have no cigarette lighter plug. It was fantastic. Worked a freaking charm

So far it’s a nice camera. Nothing bad has happened to need it. Hope nothing will

My daughter had her windshield replaced. She tried various glues including rear view mirror adhesive to try and get her BlackVue dashcam back on the windshield but nothing worked. Then I found the tape on blackboxmycar and gave it a shot. As you might expect, it worked perfectly.

Install was pretty straightforward with the hardwire kit. Thanks!
