VIOFO A119 Mini 2: My new dash cam

I have been using the TrendVision TDR-719S dash cam since 2016. While it provides good video and audio quality, it is rather unreliable.

So I decided to replace it with the VIOFO A119 Mini 2. It supports GPS, which is required for time synchronization.

(Comparing with the TrendVision TDR-719S)

The VIOFO A119 Mini 2 works well with the SanDisk Ultra microSDXC 128GB (for Chinese market).

However, the VIOFO A119 Mini 2 uses a bitrate that is too low, which causes issues with video quality. Therefore, it is important to select the appropriate resolution and FPS.
