![]() If the A129 starts to misbehave, I will have to consider the V3 for the second vehicle. I don't use the parking mode normally but hopefully they iron out that problem before I need it. Simple pairingPower on the camera and then press the Bluetooth Button for 3 seconds to pair the camera, the LED indicator on the remote will turns blue if get paired successfully. the small body would keep the original appearance inside your car. I was in 2 minds as to the 119V3 or the A129 Plus but decided to go with the A129 plus because of the upgrade to the rear camera. VIOFO Type-C HK4 Hardwire Kit For A119 MINI 2/A229 DUO/A229 PLUS/A229 PRO/T130/WM1. So I think that one has gone beyond a reasonable repair. I had to manually reboot the camera to get it working and now it has really gone. I don't know where it was getting power because it is hard wired to the ignition. So I started manually turning off the camera and then it reached a point where I think there is some issue with the circuitry I would turn off the car and then come back and find the camera screen on showing white. I tried to replace the battery and that worked for a while but then maybe the battery failed and I was getting corrupted files. So I would take it down when parking and also put up sunscreen to keep the internal car temperature lower. I would have to take down the camera and cool it in the AC vent and then put it back up. When I drove of with the AC on, the camera would never cool sufficiently and go into a repeated boot cycle. windscreen/rear view mirror to get upwards of 65C and if the camera is left in a parked car direct sunlight it would get up that high if not higher. I had measured the inside of the car - i.e. The salty air isn't so much an issue as I am inland away from any such sea blast. Very smart to figure out that I am in the Tropics and that it is hot. It was a concern if I was upgrading to the A129 Plus Duo. Thanks for the feedback on the capacitor lifetime. Or you can do the A129 Plus it has a few issues mostly in parking use, but it's vid quality is great and it should give you as many more years of service as the V3 would. But I think I'd go for new if I could it would be a shame to replace battery and caps only to have something else die in another year, and given how good the V3 is makes me think this way even more strongly. I would do that if I couldn't afford something newer. In that much time technology moves ahead and resolution improves enough to make a new cam worthwhile, both to get that better performance and in hope for trouble-free use in future days.īoth your cams are good quality and might be worth repairing if they seem like they will last a few more years. I would say that a good cam should last at least 5-6 years, the oldest I know of still in use has went past 7 years now. Given your location I'd guess heats could get high, and the salty air could be a bit corrosive so these things could shorten a cam's service life. I would expect supercaps to normally last as long as the cam but I have seen reports of a few random failures and their replacement. So I'd consider an upgrade to it.Ģ016 was kind of early in the supercap timeline so there's a chance the caps used today may be better- I don't know for sure. The V3 is one of the better cams you can get today, and the best for low-light recording.
