BlackVue DR770X Box vs Viofo A129 Duo

“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.”

“You will be hard pressed to find any dashcam that can capture registration plates in the dark, let alone one for £30. My £170 (at time of purchase) Viofo A129 Duo which has the best sensor on the market at the time of purchase, struggles to pick up registration plates in the dark, even with a polarised lens attachment fitted. If you are planning on upgrading, find a dashcam with the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor built in as this is the best sensor available at the moment that has HDR ability and will be better in low light conditions - any camera with this sensor will also have capacitor power rather than an installed battery which is better for longevity.”
