“The Blackvue DR770x box is always on when the vehicle is running, can connect to the phone using wifi to view video, and has cameras that are quite small and likely to go unnoticed. I'd expect all of the taxi/uber cams in the side bar (or their successors) would also meet your needs, and none require an internet connection.”

“Did you have to replace the rtc and supercap due to the heat or something else? Did you replace it under warranty and what was that process like? I'm possibly looking at the 770x Box version if I can get a deal on it. All the components are in a box that you put in your glove compartment so that's a way safer bet than having it on your windshield getting fried. My only concern is what is it's only 1080p despite the $500+ price tag which is ridiculous. They could've made it at least 2k res at that price.”

Best praise vs top criticism for Viofo A119 Mini

Best Praise

“After lots of research myself, I have the Viofo A119 mini 2 that has the Sony Starvis 2 sensor and it’s been great (my SD card is a 64gb SanDisk MAX Endurance). I like that it’s compact, and always works. It’s worked during the summer (95+°F days) and even with it freezing overnight now it’s had no issues. I determined in my research that this one was the best value for the money and anything with better video quality at even $300 was going to have negligible benefits. When blind comparing videos from the Viofo A119 mini 2 to other $300 dash cams, you could hardly tell the difference.”

“Parasitic draw. That's another good point. Many people in this sub praise the Viofos for their video quality, but at the same time you will find many posts about batteries being killed by Viofos. I've yet to see a post where a Thinkware (mine has onboard voltage monitoring) killed a battery. If you're looking for a safe replacement, maybe find one that doesn't depend on a $5 power adapter.”
