VIOFODash Cam A119 V3 2K 2560x1440P Quad HD+ 60FPS Front Car Dash Camera, 5MP STARVIS Sensor, 140-Degree Wide Angle, GPS Included, Buffered Parking Mode, True HDR, Motion Detection, Time Lapse

The VIOFO A119 V3 is hands down one of the best dash cams in its price range. The video quality is excellent—super clear even at night, thanks to the Sony sensor and advanced night vision. The 1440p resolution captures license plates and road signs with ease. Setup was simple, and the menus are easy to navigate. I really appreciate the buffered parking mode and built-in GPS for speed and location tracking. It feels durable and well-made, and the compact design doesn’t draw attention. Peace of mind every time I drive

I used the HK3 install kit because my 2025 Camry had the wiring for a dashcam already up in the headliner behind a removable panel. Even had the hole in the very front of the headliner to run the USB. Installation was very straightforward, no more than a couple hours for a factory looking finished product.Picture quality is good to very good although I will be adding the polarizing filter as soon as it gets here. Glare can be fierce here in the desert where I live so I'm sure it will help. Settings are pretty easy to master although why it doesn't have time zones and only GMT +/- the appropriate number of hours I don't know but not a huge problem. Don't like the fact the clock is only a 24 hour version but only a big deal if you're recording an accident of some sort. The GPS information is very nice to have especially if you were to get pulled over for speeding erroneously. You could show the officer right there what speed you were driving and let it be known that it's also recording your conversation.Assuming durability is good, then this was a very worthwhile purchase. It seems well made, comes with extra stickums, some thin rubber vibration pads and three mounts (one GPS, two "regular" so if you needed to move it from car to car and it was not hardwired, you could easily do so. Also has some sticky hold down clamps to route the wiring if you can hardwire it out of sight.Unfortunately, it's a device that probably every car should have in this day and age with scammers on the highways, violence, carjacking and hit and runs in the parking lot (the parking feature works quite well from my test).

To begin with, like many of you reading this and other reviews, there are so many dash cams to choose from and you want the best bang for your buck. I read reviews, watched videos, etc... and did much research. One particular video compared many dash cams from $50 ones and up to over $300 dash cams. In the end, this VIOFO A119 V3 was highest ranked for affordable dash cams and had quality very close to the $300+ models. Well, I had to see and use it for myself....Unboxing, it was well protected and in taking it out of the box, it felt solid. It seemed well built and instructions were good.I installed it in my Tacoma and though I hate sticking any type of tape or products on my windshield, I took a chance without testing it first and stuck it on my windshield, wired it to my cigarette plug and hid wiring along windshield and down dash, etc... It was pretty easy to do and looks great. Barely enough wire to do what I wanted, but it was enough.Setup was pretty easy and after playing with different settings, frame rates, quality and all, I found that the default settings were best overall. Although some other settings looked a bit better for day time, night time quality was poor. The settings by default seemed to work best for both day and night. These settings were important to me as I go to work in the dark and come home when it's light.Quality of video overall were very impressive. Bright and pretty vivid colors in day time and night time looked pretty good too. Night time had a few more artifacts in the overall video, but that was expected and really did not hurt the quality much. Day time worked very well, though when you drive towards the sun, reflections can be an issue, but again, quality was still quite good. Not sure if a more expensive dash cam would be better or not, but quality was not poor enough for me to try other dash cams.Clarity when moving was good enough to see everything and wideness of the video was enough to cover the essentials needed in most situations on why one would buy a dash cam. As you travel, it was clear but clear enough as you pass road name signage and say, gas pricing on signs, but if you freeze the video, you can usually read them. I also travel in inner lane on a four lane road at 40 mph. License plates when moving were clear as you got close, but otherwise a bit blurry. But again, if you freeze picture, you can usually read them. This includes cars you pass or are passing you and the ones in front of you. I really have nothing to compare to, except Go Pros, but in videos I have seen on internet, the videos this camera shows are so much better than most I have seen. Travelling at slower speeds, you were able to read signage a bit better. Even though some signs were a bit blurred, overall video quality is very clear from slow speeds to highway speeds.It does not come with a memory card. I purchased the Samsund Pro Endurance 256gb and it has done wonderfully. 256gb is biggest card the camera can take according to manual. You need a card that can take the use and heat of the camera and elements and this card was recommended. It is easy to put in and remove. I did this many times as I tested different settings and viewed on computer. The size of this card is great as it will hold over a week of my driving habits before overwriting older videos. I was able to do this with camera mounted. You can also easily unmount and mount camera from windshield as needed.I would highly advise to buy the polarizing filter for this dash cam as the quality improves tenfold. I tried video with the polarizer and without. The quality is so much better with the filter and the $15 or so extra for it, is very well worth it.I would recommend this VIOFO A119 V3 dash cam for anyone wanting a good quality camera with very good video overall for an affordable price. You buy one too cheap, quality is usually horrible. Buy an expensive one, video quality may be a bit better, but is it worth the 3X price tag? I'm very happy with this camera and have not looked back.NOTE: I have not tried the parking settings, nor do I have it hooked up that way (you can buy a wiring setup to enable this camera to be used in this matter).

This Dash Cam is awesome, after watching several reviews on YouTube this Dash Cam wins overall for quality and features. It has a Sony camera sensor and has some really nice features like low light shooting and great quality video. We took it a 12 hour road trip and it worked flawlessly in a hot environment and didn't shut down

Review of front camera. Definitely recommend. Installed to 12v outlet in glove box in 2025 Subaru Outback premium. If you install this way, run cable under side airbag in a pillar. I ended up installing camera to right(passenger side) of eyesight system(easier cable run, easier access to camera). The a-pillar cover is easy to take off just peel back inner door weather stripping to access and grab the cover, it pops off. I reviewed video on computer for quality and everything looked very good, day, night, rain, etc..
