Viofo A139 PRO Review - Best Dash Cam? 4K Starvis 2 Sensor

[@darrennew8211]

Wow. That's the first dashcam I've seen that can actually read license plates more than half a carlength away. Great find!

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

I like this, You should do more Dash Cam Videos in the Future. There is A Lot Of people into that as well

[@LifeHackster]

I need to…Thanks for watching!

[@Cagefighter]

Yes when it comes to cams your the man!

[@VortexRadar]

Yeah this new A139 Pro w/ the Starvis 2 Sensor is very impressive so far! I'm also liking it as a big step up over the A129 Pro. :)

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, it is.

[@Qmpel7]

Thanks for showing the installation part. Appreciate it!

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@HiFiInsider]

I have the "HD" Viofo. It works well. I would love to try this new model.

[@sdshawn29]

Dash cam not working. I just purchased a Viofo A139 pro, after many reviews I settled on this unit. And after 3 days many rounds with brused ribs from laying on my car seal . The problem was the unit would work intermittently would not stay on. The fix was the battery limits switch would shut it down in park mode. So pay attention to your battery voltage I had to put switch to the lowest voltage for it to stay on. It seems simple and stupid right , well it took me 3 days to figure it out , I hope this will save some poeple from a frustrating install.

[@---GOD---]

Great review as always. Love Viofo dashcams. I have the A119v3 (single 2k) as well as the A129 Plus Duo (front 2k, rear 1080p). I plan to upgrade the A119v3 to the new A229 Duo (front and rear 2k). But maybe now I'll go for the A139 Pro.

Informative video. I believe you have helped me make a decision on what I want to purchase for a dashcam. Thank you.

Nice. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@grimgoreironhide9985]

It also uses a USB Type C for the power adaptor. Better than what other dash cams use.

[@khao1412]

$370 bucks. Its too much for me.

[@pedrorios8212]

Front = $230 Front + Rear = $300 Front + Interior = $300 Front + Rear + Interior = $370 VIOFO currently has $30 off on all of the options above (already discounted for you) and is tax free.

[@ZillaMesh]

@@pedrorios8212 tax free? In USA?

[@pedrorios8212]

@@ZillaMesh Yes sir! They usually state “tax free” under the product but for some reason they didn’t when I bought the A139 Pro last month. It only showed the “$30 OFF” instead lol Regardless at checkout I did not pay any taxes 👍🏽

[@Mermasora]

@@ZillaMeshit just works different in European/Asian countries. They always have taxes included in the price, thus they just playing with words for USA, basically.

[@curtisbme]

@@pedrorios8212 That's not bad, especially if you don't care about the interior as most of us wouldn't. $270 for front and rear and if tax is included that makes it effectively $245 here.

[@davesbest1580]

I love the details on your video? Can you tell me what microSD card you are using?

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you…and I used the viofo micro SD card.

[@Draconis8888]

Wow! Thanks for the review. I might have to replace my cameras.

[@fraserthomson5766]

Did you install the polarizing filter? Not sure they work well at night..

[@shawn1869]

Is the rear facing camera quality just as good?

[@ronm6585]

Thanks for sharing.

[@sdshawn29]

You are so right about these dash cams, I bought a viofo a139 pro 2ch a year ago and I hate it 400 dollars I paid for it and it has missed every I mean every close call I've had in my car I have no idea why it only record clips and not constantly from when I start my car to when I turn it off same goes for the front and rear cameras they record when ever they want and not at the same time or in sinc. My final straw was yesterday I got a ticket for a illegal lane change that I know I did nothing wrong but the rear camera footage is what needed and the one thing you can count on is this camera will not record anything you bought it for. I'm sending this pile back and blowing it up on KZbin maybe save someone from this scam called dash cams should be called scam cams..

[@UnderDog1911]

​@LifeHackster all I am finding is a two channel package(front facing and interior) how do you get the 3rd channel?

[@jakedior9419]

To create a KZbin video, what software do you use to trim and also connect you dashcam videos?

[@mn889n2nu-im2wj]

I have hardwired the A139 pro, but the auto-event detection parking mode is not working, it just continously record in parking mode in 2k resolution; in addtion, the front and rear window camera has no infra red function.

[@xemphim6412]

Awesome review 👍. It will be nice if interior and rear can be 2k at least. Boo No screen for quick check and change option. Does LH's truck it have led headlights? Hope they send you another one so you can send it to me ,😁

[@LifeHackster]

@xemphim6412...Thanks for watching! I just have regular headlights.

[@ΧΡΗΣΤΟΣΣΚΟΝΔΡΑΣ-σ1ξ]

I am between viofo 139pro and cobra sc400d . which one is better???

[@comicsandculture]

I use dji action 3 since it was just collecting dust on my desk.

[@matiaslgonzalez]

Is there a significant difference between using and not using the CPL lens?

[@LifeHackster]

Less windshield glare mostly.

[@yakobs_8534]

I installed a Viofo A139 Pro Trio camera on the car, and the interior camera, which also has night vision, I use to monitor the front of the car at night, but because of the reflection from the windshield, nothing can be seen when the IR is activated .Is there any film or anti-reflection filterto get rid of this problem?

[@kogan31]

I'm plagued with problems since i bought the cam 1.5 months ago. Constant beeping sounds and "fake recording" where it says 2 channel recording but actually there is none. Realized it was due to a faulty original Viofo 256gb SD card. Replaced it and was ok. Parking auto detection mode records everything, even light flickering. So consider it as constant recording instead of auto. Final straw was a total hardware failure where the unit keeps restarting. All known attempts to troubleshoot doesnt work, firmware update not possible as it cant even read the SD card due to the constant restart. Reached out to their support and awaiting response. Its been a lot of hassle and stress to constantly be paranoid if the camera is working or even recording. Now, its not even booting up.

[@curtisbme]

There is at least one possible problem wtith the 24fps is all the stuttering we can see when converted to youtube 30fps. Though most folks may not care if you don't plan on using them to post issues to youtube.

[@doltBmB]

youtube can upload in 24

[@fatihtaran8228]

Hello, I have read in many user comments that the a139 pro 2ch device gives an error in the heat. What do you say about this situation?

[@andychan1087]

How does this compare to the A229 Duo 2K?

[@jamesround9430]

Starvis 2 Sensor/2k or 4k front 2k rear and i'll buy one.

[@jonathansoriano8]

hi Lifehackster can you flip the 4K main unit and do a sample video for vlogging?

[@LifeHackster]

I have to try it out.

[@jonathansoriano8]

@@LifeHackster cool awaiting that video, i must’ve commented on a lot mainstream reviewers though no one featured it yet.

[@syoung20001]

Are there firmware updates for the cameras within the app?

[@reddragonsubliminal6440]

What do you think of the citronics 30x zoom?

[@FStewartIII]

in regards to the app, if I get another Viofo camera for my second vehicle, will the app allow two different cameras?

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, you just have to choose and connect to the dashcam that you want to view.

[@kmom777]

Do life hackster do reviews of other home/car security gadgets like airgun double shotgun "umarex primal 20" in 72 cal😊

[@LifeHackster]

Just smart home security products.

[@tartanarab9666]

What is the best wireless dash cam?

[@markalexisella4351]

Can you still view it from the app when the car is off?

[@charlesspidell1447]

Fitcamx need to try

[@world_still_spins]

Do any other dash cams use starvis 2?

[@LifeHackster]

Viofo is the first one that I have seen. Other companies will be using this pretty soon.

[@pompommania]

I need a dash cam. Id love it if you reviewed a few of them with affordable options.

[@mr.c6674]

Affordable is relative. The price is okay to me.

Can i buy this but not use the rear camera, i just want the front and cabin camera?

[@ViofoDashcamOfficial]

Yes, you can just buy the front and interior cameras. There are different sets you can choose from.

[@Cagefighter]

@@ViofoDashcamOfficial I'm just worried about your app, I've been doing loads of research and time and again that's what people moan about, how they can't connect to the camera, or see there videos, having to turn there data off on there phone, which is ridiculous, and when you need the app because there is no screen this is a massive concern, your app gets 2.9 Google play, NOT good!

[@ViofoDashcamOfficial]

@@Cagefighter Our engineering team is working on a better app nowadays and we are always trying to optimize it actually. Maybe you can wait for it.

[@PlaneSpotterRVer314]

Hey Lifehackster. Quick question. Do you have any cameras that you are not using that you can give away? Thanks!
