Best praise vs top criticism for Viofo A119 V3
“That Viofo A119 would be a good one if the price works for you. I have the dual dashcam version and I'm pretty happy with it.”
“Most capacitor powered cams are good enough for high heat. I have had a A119 V3 for 4 years now in the New Mexico heat and it's been fine. Still works and I park my car outdoors everyday. Don't get the Thinkware. It's way overpriced. Go with something like [the A229 Pro or similar](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1e4p2m4/if_you_need_a_cam_today_is_the_day_to_get_it/). Lots of other options in the sidebar.”
