tldr; r/dashcam's reliable budget dual-cam. Good 1080p quality, handles heat well. Aging but solid starter cam.

Best praise vs top criticism for Viofo A129 Duo
“I bought an A129 Duo in 2019 and another in 2020 so both our cars would have dashcams. The first one died in August so I replaced it with an A229 Pro 2-channel. I feel like five years is a good run for a dashcam. When the other A129 dies it'll be replaced with another Viofo.”
“I don't get that either. If the driver's line of sight is looking through or around the rearview mirror, something is wrong. I put a Thinkware Q1000 in one car last year, and it hides behind the rearview mirror even better than the Viofo A129. The unit is wider but less tall, and doesn't have a distracting-at-night while useless-in-daytime built-in display.”
