FAQ

  • What SD Card is recommended in A119 V3? What's the max card it supports?

    Micro SD Cards play an important role in dashcams, but not all cards are suitable for dashcams. 

    We recommend UHS-I U1/U3 rating, high or max endurance microSD card. 

    The max size it supports is 256GB, 128GB card will be preferable. 

    Please refer to the pic below when choosing a card.

    We suggest you format the card periodically to ensure the best performance of the camera.

  • How can I view the recorded video files?

    Even though A119 V3 does not support WIFI, there are still 3 ways to access recorded files.

     On Camera menu: Press the REC button and then the red triangle button to enter playback mode. 

     On computer: Use a card adapter or connect camera to computer by the short data cable.

     SD Card Reader for phone:  Use a card reader for your phone and you can also access files on the card directly.

     

  • Why is GPS information missing?

    if you are using the GPS mount and have enabled it on menu, there are 4 situations you may encounter. 

    ① Green speed and satellite icon: GPS enabled and working, which is totally normal. 

    ② Red speed and white satellite icon: GPS enabled and searching for signals, it generally happens when you are in the parking lot or somewhere with poor satellites reception. 

    ③ "NO GPS" icon and satellite icon missing: GPS not detected. if you have actually installed a GPS mount, you may need a new GPS mount. 

    ④ Null: GPS disabled.

  • Can I connect a rear camera to A119 V3?

    No, A119 V3 is a one-channel dashcam, it does not have a port to connect to another camera.
