This has been an issue for a few months now, only just getting around to finding a solution.
After about 2-3 months of using my Viofo A129 Pro Duo the front camera recordings started glitching and are now pretty much unusable - regular full screen glitching like this 12 second screengrab. Eventually the video crashes whatever software I use to play them.
However, the rear camera recordings are perfect with no issue at any point.
Because the rear camera records OK, I'm leaning towards this being a hardware rather than software/SD card issue. Should I keep cycling through SD cards - try and find an authentic Sandisk maybe - or just send this back to Viofo? Haven't seen others with the same issue online.
The front camera video preview on the screen is perfectly fine as well so I don't think it's an error with the image sensor per se.
Things I have tried:
Appreciate any advice.

Things I have tried:
- Have tried Samsung Pro Endurance and WD Purple Surveillance 128/256GB cards with every variety of formatting (on computer, in device, FAT32, exFAT...), no errors on cards when tested with h2testw
- Issue has persisted regardless of disabling parking mode
- Issue persists on firmware 2.1
- Issue persists even if recording outside of car with unit connected to powerbank, tried different cables
- Issue persists regardless of video resolution and bitrate
Appreciate any advice.
