Viofo A129 Pro Duo vs Viofo A229 Pro

“I've been having an issue ever since weather has even moderately warmed up: the A229 Pro powers on when I start the car, but within a minute, chimes noise as it powers back down. No type of indicator showing an overheat issue or any other error codes. If I unplug the cord and plug it back in, it will stay on the rest of the drive. This is not an issue that ever happens when its below 60 degrees outside. Only when it is warm and the sun is out. For reference I reformatted my SD card and I have been using viofo wires and the viofo cigarette lighter adapter for power. Very frustrating since it ruins the reliability of having a dash cam. Given the cost of the A229 pro, it should run flawlessly.”

“I just dumped the A129 Pro Duo a a while back. Recording in 4K during the day and the damn thing would overheat and shut down. Got it replaced and the replacement unit did so as well. Support told me to stop recording in 4k to avoid overheating. That is ridiculous if it's a feature of the camera. I am not talking the dog days of summer either.......I'm talking mild 85-90 degree days even when not in direct sunlight (my windshield has a tint strip on it which keeps the camera body out of the sun). It's is even mentioned on the FAQ page for the camera..... https://viofo.com/content/36-viofo-a129-pro-duo-dash-cam-support/ I went to thinkware and even though it cost more, I did not have the same issues.”
