VIOFO Dash Cam A119 Mini 2, STARVIS 2 Sensor, 2K 60fps/HDR 30fps Voice Control Car Dash Camera with 5GHz Wi-Fi GPS, Night Vision 2.0, 24H Parking Mode, Supercapacitor, Support 512GB Max

I recently installed the VIOFO A119 Mini 2 dash cam in my 2025 Honda CRV SP using the FITDVR dashcam adapter, and I couldn’t be happier with the setup. The FITDVR adapter worked flawlessly—no need for any hardwiring, and it fit perfectly in my vehicle. Installation took just 15–20 minutes and was super easy to do on my own. It looks like a professional install without any of the extra effort.As for the dash cam itself, the A119 Mini 2 is compact yet incredibly powerful. The 2K 60fps video quality is crystal clear, even at night thanks to the STARVIS 2 sensor and Night Vision 2.0. Voice control is a great touch for hands-free operation, and the 5GHz Wi-Fi and GPS make reviewing and saving footage a breeze. The supercapacitor and support for up to 512GB storage are big bonuses too.Highly recommend this combo for anyone looking for a sleek, no-fuss, high-performance dash cam setup!

Deciding on what to buy:I slaved over trying to find a quality dash cam without breaking the bank. Hours of reading reviews, I finally decided to pull the trigger on VIOFO. The Mini 2 seemed the best solution for what I was looking for. Bought a 128GB San Disk Max Endurance (only because there was a reasonable price differenced than the VIOFO equivalent), and the polarizing lens.Installation:Watched several videos on installation, I thought I needed to wire it directly into the fuse box, but after a last minute decision, I decided to use my cigarette lighter adapter (which comes with the dash cam). Recording during parking wasn't a need I had so it made sense. Installing on a 2017 Honda Pilot the lighter plugin was perfectly placed to wrap the wire around the passenger side and directly behind the dash. The cord was easily hidden, behind the dash and behind all the panels, it literally took less than 10 minutes to install. I placed the dash cam directly behind the rear view mirror so it was hidden from normal view. But if I needed to get to the dash cam I could look from below or simply move my mirror slightly to gain access to the cam. Very content with the placement. The only thing that wasn't to my liking was how it stuck to the windshield. After placing as per the installation guide, I looked from the outside and noticed there was a reasonably large bubble in the center of the glue pad. I was able to easily pull it off so I retried to stick it on again. Similar results. However after almost a month of use, I have had no issues with it falling off. Time will tell. They do provide a second glue pad in the kit so if it falls off, I'll probably use the new pad.Daily Use:Most of the settings were great out of the box. I think I increased the resolution a little, didn't max that in fear of issues or exceptionally large files. Also set the wifi to 5.8 (I guess that's equivalent to wifi6?). I turned recording audio off as I didn't see that as a need we had. I think that's all I changed. Every time I start up the car, within a few seconds it makes the start up noise and then proceeds to tell me it is recording. Felt like the start up time was very reasonable. After turning off the car, it makes a shutoff noise. No issues in usage. We did go over some rough patch on the interstate through a construction zone and it indicated it was going to lock the recording. Has only happened through that stretch of road so I didn't reduce the accident sensitivity. Felt like that's a good option.Mobile App:Many reviews of other products indicated poor mobile app quality. I must say that I have found the app to be very stable. To connect your phone to the dash cam, hold down the wifi button and it will enable the wifi. I think recording has to be stopped for that to work. Use your phone to connect and you can now make configuration settings to the cam as well as select videos/images to download. My settings save a file every 3 minutes. And with my higher resolution setting, the video files are around 553MB each. Downloading files seemed very fast, consistent, with no issues. I believe you can watch the videos directly streaming from the cam or when you download them you can watch them from the app even if you are not connected to the cam. So far, no issues. One surprising fact was when playing back a recording in the app, at the bottom of the screen it shows the movement of the car on a map. Thought that was a nice little feature.Quality of the video:I'm very content with the quality of the video. The video is crisp, clear both day and night. No issues.Overall:Installation was fast and easy. Daily usage I've had zero issues. Mobile app is easy to use and have no issues. A great buy! Definitely recommend the the Mini 2. Will be buying more for the rest of my families cars.

This is a pretty nice camera for the money. I had considered getting a two-channel but decided against it. Installation was pretty easy and I did get the hardwire kit as an optional accessory. That was pretty easy to route in my 2016 Toyota Rav4, so I was happy about that. Just make sure to plan ahead before running the wire to get the most efficient and aesthetic path to your power source. The only thing I didn't like about the cable is the cylindrical piece near the power adapter. You can't hide that easily, so you have to figure out a way to attach it to the headliner near the mirror. Not a huge deal, but I prefer cleaner wiring. I also don't like how you can see the uneven adherence of the 3m patch to the windshield from the outside. No matter how evenly you press, you can't avoid bubbles and voids. That definitely points out that it is not OEM.Pros:- Easy to install, at least on my car.- Fairly easy to configure- Good picture quality even at 30fpsCons:- Hardwire kit is an option that should be included. Come to think of it, internal storage as well.- Should be Bluetooth to make it easier to administer and download footage. Connecting to its wifi is a pain.-Wiring is not that easy to hide, especially with the cylindrical inline thingie.- 3m patch is strong, but unsightly from the exterior.- You need to spend at least $50 more for a hardwire kit and mini SD card- If you need to access video for the police at the scene, you have to turn on wifi on the camera, join the network from your phone, and then wait for a download OR play choppy video over the poor wifi. If you stream it at the scene, it will pause and buffer every few seconds, which is maddening. Lots to fuss with when you are already flustered.
