Test setup

Will be using a 64GB Samsung Evo Plus for the recordings.

 

Videos
Below is recorded in 2560×1440 30fps with an overall bit rate of 24.3 Mb/s without the CPL filter.

Below is recorded in 1920×1080 60fps with an overall bit rate of 20.5 Mb/s without the CPL filter.

Recorded using firmware v1.2 in 2560×1440 30fps with an overall bit rate of 24.3 Mb/s without the CPL filter.

Final thoughts
The A119 Pro uses the same shell as the A119 & A119S. The only difference is the lens and sensor. Also the inclusive of the suction mount & EVA foam is an added plus.

The image quality of the videos is kinda lacking compared to the A119 & A119S. But as an owner of both the A119 & A119S, knowing that Viofo will release a firmware later for the A119 Pro that will greatly improve the image quality like how they did for the A119 & A119S. Can’t wait.

Will update again with videos when there is a new firmware released for the A119 Pro.

Hi. I’m wanting to purchase a viofo dashcam. Can you assist me on which one should I get? Thanks.

    If you’re on a budget then the A119 is a great budget dashcam. Better night vision go with the A119S. Want dual dashcam then the A129 Duo.

      Thanks for the recommendation, Jeremy. Know of any reliable retail store or online store where I can grab it?

        Jeremy Wong · November 7, 2018 at 8:45 am

        Viofo official store in Aliexpress is recommended.

        You can get from Sicurez as they are the authorized distributor in Malaysia. Or your local authorized distributor.

          Should i get the A119 or A119 v2? Any significant difference between the 2?

          Jeremy Wong · November 7, 2018 at 10:12 am

          All is now V2. No more V1. Unless very old stock from the seller.

          V2 have fixed the issues with the GPS mount in V1.

          Thank you for the assistance and prompt reply, Jeremy. You have a great day!

          You too. Enjoy your new toy
