Rear camera was the priority so I bought two separate A119’s.
What one Redditor said
“Not sure about the mini 2, but the old school VIOFO A119v3 doesn’t have any problem in the Texas heat. Even with it baking in a windshield sunscreen, it would always start right up.”

The a119 mini 2 is also ATL, and lets you connect to your phone wirelessly and download videos, definitely worth the extra $15

Hi OP -- I'm looking at this dashcam now; the viofo a119 mini 2. Are the license plates clearer on the video directly from the dashcam?

I use an A119 Mini 2 in my pickup as a rear camera being quite happy with it.

I've had an a119 v2 for 8 years in virginia, and a v1 even longer than that.

I just installed the a119. I used one of the USBC adapters that plugs into the 3 pin connector above the mirror. It seems to be working pretty well.

I have a A119 Mini in my wife’s car and the VanTrue E1 Pro in my 981S. I have it tucked up and tight against the rear view mirror and you can’t even see it.
r/Dashcamneutral1
what are the main differences between that one and the A119 Mini 2? the price is barely higher for the A119 Mini 2 but i can’t seem to catch which one is the best
r/Dashcamnegative1
I tested the A119 Mini 2 first, but it was too obtrusive for me.

i ended up buying the new viofo A119M Pro, it’s tiny and has everything and a bit more of what i need from a dashcam, i recommend

Viofo A119 Mini 2 is solid if you want something that just works, great image quality, reliable in heat, and easy to update.
