FAQ

  • What are the differences among A129 series cameras?

    The biggest difference between these products is the video resolution and recording range. You can refer to the following comparison blog for more details.

  • Do I need to format the card when it is full?

    No need, the camera can overwrite old files automatically as long as you have turned on loop recording. 

    While we do suggest you format the card regularly to ensure the best performance of the camera.

     Here is also a format tool you can use. 

    BTW, Micro SD Cards play an important role in dashcams, but not all cards are suitable to be used in dashcams. 

    You can refer to this when choosing a card.

  • What do I do if I forget the WiFi password?

    You can reset the password to the default number 12345678 by updating the firmware.

  • Can I extend the rear cable?

    All the Viofo rear cables cannot be extended manually. The standard rear cable length for the A129 Series dashcam is 6M. 

    If it is not long enough, you could buy a longer 8M rear cable here.

  • What to do if the dashcam can't work normally during parking mode?

    ① Please make sure the hardwire kit is connected correctly and firmly, test the voltage of BAT & ACC. 

    Below are YouTube videos showing how to install and test the hardwire kit.

    The square polarizing filter can be applied both in the front and rear camera, it is used to protect the lens and reduce light reflections.

  • How to reset the dashcam?

    There are two ways to reset the cam.

    ① Press the REC light to stop recording and then press the menu button to choose "Default setting" option.  

    ② Use a toothpick or a paper clip to stick the "reset" hole on the left side of the main camera. 

  • Why is my camera screen black?is camera recording?

    Camera has Screen Saver, which means it keeps recording though its screen is off, you can find the REC led stay solid during recording.

    We don't suggest keeping the screen on for too long during recording, as camera can get hot much easier.

  • Why my camera is freezing and buttons have no reaction?

    Most of such issue is related with the memory card, please format the card first. If that doesn't work, you can also try to replace with a new memory card.

  • Can i install the camera on other cars?

    There are static stickers in the box and you can move the whole camera easily to other cars.

  • What's the yellow icon with an exclamation mark?

    It means camera is locking files, which will not be overwritten by loop recording. 

    Emergency locking can be triggered both manually and automatically. 

    Manual Locking : Pressing the triangle yellow button. 

    Automatical Locking : When the G-sensor/Parking G-sensor/Parking Motion Detection is triggered.
