Install / mount the camera close to the rearview mirror so that both sides of the scene being recorded are equally covered by the camera's FOV (field of view). Unfortunately the Viofo falls short in how it actually performs HDR. Because the dashcam is moving as it captures these frames, the image captured for the slow exposure image is different than the image from the fast exposure image. When they're superimposed together, the resulting image has a "ghosting" effect if there are other objects such as a car passing by you - objects moving within the field of view. User "Dashmellow" from DashCamTalk points this out in a sample image capture from video he took while using HDR. The V3 and V2 are both single dashcam setups for recording at the front of your vehicle. If you’re looking for a dual dashcam see this post reviewing the best dual dash cams. Do not turn on 'Motion Detection' unless your vehicle is parked. If 'Motion Detection' is enabled while driving, the camera may not record continuously. When the camera is ON, press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds to turn the camera OFF.

Sorry for the scare. I wanted to make sure you pulled the film off. I didn’t know mine was on there for a few months. It looked so uniform that I had no idea it was anything besides the glass. Automatic: When the camera is ON, simply turn OFF the engine or unplug the charging cable and the camera will switch OFF automatically. Furthermore, the installation process is also pretty easy for both dash cams, and both the V3 and V2 come with long connection cables and clips to hold the wires in place out of the way of your feet or hands. This ease of installation makes these Viofo dash cams ideal for first-time drivers or beginner dash cam users. Is it illegal to mount a dashcam in your state?

In daylight conditions, the details are noticeable crisper, and sharper. The V3 also offers you a much better field of vision than the V2, with the smaller 140-degree angle helping to sharpen the image quality further. When comparing the Parking Mode performance of the Viofo A119 V3 vs A119 V2, we see a clear difference yet again. The V2 does offer a decent Parking Mode, albeit with non-buffered recording. The V3 does have Buffered Recording though. Car Number: Imprints a customized set of 11 digits to the recorded video. Useful to add license plates or identifying features. Neither the Viofo A119 V3 nor the V2 model includes WiFi connectivity. This is one of the ceilings of these budget dashcams and means that any software updates or footage transfers need to be performed using a USB cable and your computer. It also prevents the use of features found on more upmarket dashcams such as a live footage feed on your phone.Note: The long mini USB cable is for charging, the short USB cable is for transferring files while connecting the camera with computer.
