Here is the link to the dashcam as promised. If the video was helpful make sure to show some love! amzn.to/3Gfbvyt

Just on the SD card, my A119 killed 3 of those "extreme" cards in about 2 years. They simply aren't made for continuous loop recording, where they are basically always writing to a full card. You need "endurance" cards, they cost more and aren't as fast, but they're made for dash cams.

My husband got me one since I have to do a lot of driving for work and I'm always telling him about the stupid/dangerous drivers I see. You didn't mention it in the video (you may not have tested it) but the sound quality is really good as well. So don't forget to read license plates out loud incase motion blur or the camera angle makes it hard to read in the video. It also protects you incase the other person admits fault before police arrive only to try to blame you later, or if they are threatening towards you.

Mine just arrived today - and for a new user, the install "instructions" are useless. Yours was exactly the kind of cable run I plan doing. Really helpful, thanks.

Thank you so much for putting this together! As a new dashcam user, it was a big help to see a visual demonstration of the install.

Those clear windshield static stickers allow you to easily remove your dashcam. If you stick your dashcam directly to your car's windshield, you risk damaging the windshield if you try to pry it loose. You'll need to get a heat gun in order to loosen the 3M adhesive.

I put this camera on my list to buy at the end of the month. My wife just called and said a motorcycle crashed into the passenger door. Other bikers came and he blamed my wife, she was too scared to get out of the car. He rode off when she said let's call the police. Have ordered my cam now. Thanks for the video, I hope you drive safely and accident free.

good summary, what really impresses is how organise you loose change drawer is in your arm rest, respect

2560X1440P is 2K, btw. Also, you should definitely run it at the max resolution. No point in having a 2K dashcam if you're not going to run it at its native resolution.

Nice job on the install. I'll probably just let the cable hang down the front of the dash but you made it look reasonably easy.

Thank you. You really helped me out a lot. My instructions booklet was all in english but lacked a whole lot of instruction. Go figure. You saved me a whole lot of hair pulling and tears. Putting it to the test tomorrow morning. Has to be better than the one I had. I hope.

Compliments on an outstanding professional presentation. Viofo should contract with you for a promo.

Thanks for the walkthru. Just bought this one and I'm in the process of setting mine up (Installing in the car tomorrow).

Got mine for Christmas, we finally have a day here in Vermont where I'm not going to be freezing my nuggets off so I can install in a bit, very helpful video. Thanks.

Thanks so much for posting this video. The installation, card formatting, and basic how-to instructions that came with the dash cam were horrible! Your video was a big help in the installation and set-up of the dash cam. I watched another KZfaq video that showed how to format the memory card. Thanks again for the great video. It saved me from having to contact the manufacturer.

Yo is your thumb ok?

Thanks for including the play back video so we can see the quality of the recording!

Great vid. Very well explained. Just got mine. Took notes and will follow your instructions to the T. Thank you for taking the time ! Appreciate :)

I was most impressed by coin holder you have. Never seen one like that. Clever idea...

Thank you for the tutorial, this is very helpful! Also thank you for including the footage at the end, especially the night time.

zero instruction on actual physical install with the camera, so this video was a Godsend

I bought 2 for front and back. Another nice tool to have is a USC C to micro card adaptor which I keep in the car. In the event you need to review a video, just pop out the card from dashcam, stick it in the adaptor and attach to phone. Easy-peasy.

I got this dash cam a week ago and your video on the install was VERY helpful. Thank you.

You got yours at a good price! I got it for $99 and about to stall it right now. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for install. Helped me a lot BTW your thumb is crazy cool. My dad calls that the George OK 👍!

Looks like you've given me the side benefit of putting this in 4runner as well. Thanks! Looks good.

4:23 that is on bendy thumb

Dude, your thumb! 😱

This was a tremendous help, thank you. Just by chance, I am also mounting it into a Subaru, so your video was almost customized!👍

thanks for your video. now i know how to install and hide the cable !!! greetings from germany :)

Thank you, this’s very informative and with details I might have never thought of.

The ultimate companion video to the Linus Tech Tips DashCam video 😆

Thanks for the great video, very helpful!

3m is the name of the company that makes the adhesive. 3mm is for measuring things on the European standard. Also, you cannot install directly under most center mirrors now because it has some wat of interfering with the sensors right above them. I know this as a fact because my Prius has this written out plainly in the manual.

Thanks for the review. I went with the same cam after watching this

I appreciate this vid. Great info and visuals. Thanks for doing this it's just what I was looking for. And your extra cautions on battery draining were great, I probably would have overlooked it and Oops my car won't start lol!

love mine. I actually have mine hard wired into my fuse box with power one all the time and only when key is in the on position in on my Toyota. I have another power mount on my Ford so I can use it when I go on trips. This is just the plug-in power cord that came with it. I bought another camera and bought a 16-foot cable so I could mount this camera on my rear shell window for rear recording. NOTE: Make sure you sure you purchase the correct extension cable for your model Viofo.

Nice set up, looks really clean, you’ve inspired me to tuck the wires

Thanks man, it's an obscure but helpful video for those of us with the cam

Excellent video and just what i needed.

Just ordered the exact same one. Good video, think I'll know how I'm going to run the cable. Thanks.

A cool lil note is if you got a portable battery the usb just slides in for parking mode ;) i use a 30,000mah battery and it lasts forever.

This video was really helpful thank you! I just purchased one of these

Best install and demonstration video ever! Greetz from Belgium Europe.

Viofo also sells a direct wire kit that will cut power to the Cam when battery voltage drops below a preselected level.

Excellent video sir👍. Great footage in low light and rain👍👍👍

Thank you for this video. Just ordered and will install it based on your video!

Thanks for the video! You may want to purchase a Sandisk max endurance card or Samsung pro endurance card for devices such as dash cams, surveillance cameras, etc. The one you bought is great for regular use, but it will die out a lot faster under heavy rewrites. Don't want to find out your SD card or cam failed if you get in an accident.

Thank you! This has been very informative. I will get mine soon and will use your recommendations for install.

clean install but did u check to see if it powers on and works BEFORE doing all the wiring lolz..saves u time incase u get a dud ,having to remove the wiring

This video is much appreciated! Great ideas for my own install. Take care 😃

And here I was thinking my fingers were special

yo super sick video, love the in depth install, appreciate it man 👍

No one asked me but your voice so strongly reminds me of that Eleven Labs Adam AI voice

Great installation walkthrough and appreciate the settings and video footage at the end! Will be installing this today as a family member has started a new job that requires a longer commute, so wanted to add this camera for piece of mind. QQ for you: why did you decide on 3 min for the loop? I was a bit unclear on that, but I'm a noob to all of this! We also want to remove the camera in the evenings, so would the included clear strips make that easier? Thanks again for such a helpful video.

Higher resolution and higher fps will help capture a license plate in motion

4:56 my face looking down a pringels can

If I have USB ports I can use in my car would you happen to know if it would provide enough power for the dash cam? Great video by the way exactly what I wanted to see.

Yo that interior is so clean! Fantastic install video man thanks!

thanks for walking through some of the settings

Amazing picture quality. Just ordered it…

Can the wiring on a-pillar be a problem when an airbag deploys?

Thanks for the video, just got one and this will help with the install. You made it look easy !!

That's a Kenyan bro! Love yall from Ghana

You should put the link for the SD card too if you can. That's all I need and your video was very helpful!

Thanks for sharing! Just wondering what all those info in manual about fuse types, fuse box in the car etc!?

Thanks, even better since I’m also putting it in a 4Runner!

His fingers are so damn long. Like spider legs 😂

Great tutorial and great music. Love the vibes

Bro this is legendary status of greatness. Good stuff bro

Holy thumb dude. Thx for help tho!

Very neat demonstration. Much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for this man. I literally did what u did. Helped a lot 👍

Absolutely phenomenal video thank you so much!

Not sure if you mentioned it in the video or not but does the camera come with that little tool you used to tuck the wire into the trim? Thanks!

Nice job running that cord. Maybe you can come over and set this up for me😄.

Greenville! Me too!! Cool video

Great video man! I'll be getting one of these in a few days

Nice one Geezer, you have talked me into buying this one :-)

I don't know much about cams. Does it film all sides of the car?

Thanks for making this helpful video!

Great video

Where can I order those clips for the cable? I didn’t have any in the package

What is the maximum mini-chip one should use?

been looking for a dash cam .. awesome job...

Jambo. Check out Dongar, they have a dongle to remove the need for the long cabling.

Thank you, very helpful.

Can I plug this straight into my usbc socket?

I heard it is better to get the High Endurance Sandisk Micro SD for dashcams, this is because the data will be constantly getting written over. Just a thought!

Great video. Thank you.

What is been like taking the camera off and on the mount. I am looking in to this model but I don't want to always have it on the car. Summer heat and all I want my window shades on there. thank you

Very helpful! Thank you, so much. 🎉

Can this unit be hooked up to the mirror dimmer in equipped vehicles

Viofo a119 v3-gps vers soft: v.2.6-20220808 1: when it starts, in total it has a delay of approx. 16 seconds until it starts recording and whatever I tried through the menu, I couldn't convince it to move faster. 2: At shutdown, (this annoys me the most) that is, when the power is cut, it does not have any kind of sound signal, (if it is activated from the menu) only the "rec" LED flashes a few times and that's it .---meaning: If you move the cigarette lighter plug by mistake, it stops and you are left without the camera without being warned. It is interesting that, when I remove it from the PC connection, it has a shutdown sound, even the viofo logo appears. Personally, I am not very happy with the purchase...

Thanks for the video, it is very helpful. 😀

Can I play the video on the screen of the recorder?

I might consider getting one, good video 👍

So very helpful. Thank you.

why is the GPS module USB cord like 1.5 ft long? how the hell do they expect you to connect that to reach anything in your car? do you just not use it?

Thank you for posting. Love the flag bracelet.
