Type: Viofo A129 Duo
Date of purchase: December 2018
Serial number: A129D18390*** (do you need the complete serial number or is that enough?)
used Memory card: Transcend 300S microSDXC Class 10 UHS-I U3 V30 A1 95/45MB/s 128GB
Which Firmware should i use? 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 1.9.5, 2.0? The Viofo app suggests me to update to version 2.0!
I connected my dashcam to the car battery of my "Ford Focus MK4 2019" 2 days ago with the original "Viofo Hardwire Kit HK3". I have tested the "Auto Event Detection". Parking G-Sensor High, Parking Motion Detection High, Bitrate Low, WDR off, GPS off, WIFI off.
Firmware 2.1: the Parking Mode (Auto Event Detection) doesn't work. When I turn off the car, the dashcam stays in driving mode and record continuously.
Firmware 1.9: the dashcam jumps into Parking Mode (Auto Event Detection), but it only detects movement occasionally. I parked the car at 21:15 pm. Until 5 o'clock am, he recorded videos from time to time. From 5 o'clock am to 11 o'clock am, when I was then at the car, he has recorded nothing. My car app did not notify me that the battery voltage is too low and the HK3 is set to 12/24V.
1.9 > If I set Bitrate to "Low", it jumps and start parking mode instantly after I turn off the engine.
(See vieeo) 1.9 > If I set Bitrate to "High", it takes up to 40 seconds to switch to parking mode. At 18:51:36 I turn off the engine, 18:51:39 the clock stops and 18:52:16 the clock is running again and the dashcam jumps into parking mode. It freezes? After that, it takes another 2 minutes to activate the parking mode.
Video:
I added a second clip at the end of the video. (at 1:42 min) When the dashcam is in parking mode, the lamp of recording and sound is on permanently. In the meantime, the recording flashes for about 20 seconds. Is this normal? (I made the video 1.5x faster with video editing to shorten the video.)
I don't know yet if I want to use "Auto Event Detection" if it is unreliable. I may use "5fps or 10fps" time laps instead.
