Viofo A119 Mini 2 Voice Controlled Dash Cam Review: It's GOOD!

[@brendandax]

6:11 Why did the screen turn off? Is it a screensaver function?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, it is. You can set it to 30 seconds or 60 seconds, or disable it.

[@samp1568]

whats the best combo for seeing license plates? which fps bit rate etc

[@TechMishka]

Lower FPS keeps the shutter speed lower, resulting into better and clearer videos

Hello: I'm getting a VIOFO A119 MINI 2 in the next week or so, What I'd like to know is... can I put the power cable straight into a USB point ? and not the cigarette socket ? Thank You so much.

[@TechMishka]

You can. If it doesn't deliver enough power, then use the cigarette socket

[@RedcarMikeUK]

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it rwhen I get my Viofo Mini 2 😊

[@RedcarMikeUK]

Got my new Viofo Dash cam and plugged the cable into the USB socket and it's working OK, Thanks.

​@@RedcarMikeUKHow was your experience with this camera? Is it value for money? How is the night view and does windscreen brightness affect it during the day?

[@RedcarMikeUK]

@@royalindia7962 Hello. the dash cam is Brilliant it's nice and clear I also have the CPL filter on and thats works ok. If I had more money I would have got a better one BUT it will have to be a VIOFO. IT is worth the money.

[@diymasterTM]

Does camera make any sound when starts recording / or you start the engine? Can be screen all the time off during the recording and also during the start engine?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, it makes beeps and you can disable them too. And you can configure the screen timeout.

[@diymasterTM]

@@TechMishka thnx. I order it already:))

[@devendrasahid4392]

@@TechMishka Thanks, for answering one of my question

[@tomaszmichewicz7867]

Ok so quick question ;) Viofo A119 mini 2 or 70mai Pro++ A500 S. I can’t decide between these two. Which one you would recommend it please ?

[@TechMishka]

I haven't tried the 70Mai model, but both are almost the same about video performance.

[@Trancemaster9000]

Does this dash cam record automatically when the car turns on?

[@TechMishka]

It does. Almost all dashcams do that

[@rahulbadhe1681]

did you forget to remove that small rectangular protective film on sticky pad? video time (4:45 to 4:50)

[@TechMishka]

I used another one that I already had. This is why you didn't see me peeling it off.

[@rahulbadhe1681]

@@TechMishka Okay. Thanks for the reply

[@MsTessG]

How does this dash cam hold up in excessive summer heat?

[@TechMishka]

It has no battery inside, so it will be fine

[@adamek9750]

wish they would make it 2 channel

[@TechMishka]

Me too. But this will hit the sales of their more expensive models.

[@EazyDuz18]

Looks identical to the Viofo I bought in 2016 and still works perfectly, installed in 3 different cars. Video qulity looks no better either. Voice control is a gimmick

[@TechMishka]

The early Viofo models are iconic!

[@chefgav1]

Video is 100% better. It’s night time, HDR and low light destroy non STARVIS 2 image sensors

[@chefgav1]

Reviewer didn’t even have HDR on at night

[@Tuluceanu]

I know there is a problem with overheating!

[@TechMishka]

Oh... Well - no overheating with my sample.

[@keytiger7]

I would buy a dashcam but, I want something I can drive with and vlog . Dashcams are way better these days but still have those window flares ,can u recommend anything for vlogging, while driving, that has great stabilization.

[@JohnDoeGoGoGo]

Please, don't.

[@keytiger7]

@JohnDoeGoGoGo Lol, decided not to

[@TechMishka]

Get an action camera - DJI Osmo Action or a GoPro. And use an external microphone.

[@keytiger7]

@@TechMishka I am. Thanks

[@fackly1]

I just noticed that you didn’t active the HDR, especially in the night

[@TechMishka]

There is a side by side showcase with and without HDR - not that significant...
