Back with a Dashcam - the A119
🕑 Added 2016-11-02 15:52:59 +0000 UTC My plans to catch up on lots of outstanding projects hit the bumpers when a nasty bug took me out of action for four days over the last week ...but I've emerged on the other side with another video.In this Dashcam review I've tried again to streamline the dashcam review process to just end up with facts and opinion. The product category is sufficiently well established nowadays to be able to do away with repeating the basics (I hope).
Not everyone knows how a dashcam works, so I've made some notes to help explain things on my website, however I don't have the opportunity to go through this indefinitely within the videos or comments. Just imagine if every review of a new car had to explain what function a hand brake did, that the car came with door locks, windscreen wipers and a horn. That it could go in reverse and it needed to be refilled with fuel when it was empty....all this had to be covered before any comment could be made about the performance.
Anyway now I'm back on my feet I have a lot of things to work on - I really need to try and get ahead as I won't have a lot time to make any new content in early December due to prior commitments, so I could do with stockpiling two or three videos to release during this period...and so far my pile consists of nothing.

I do intend to do another dashcam review but I'm looking for the right one. Right now there's nothing out there that does a massive amount differently to the A119 (although the A119s is an improvement).

We wonder if you have a plan to review one reliable dashcam in this year?
Carl Pullman
Yes, We get to watch a 15 second clip before the episode begins. The only thing that seems apical is the reps are young, smart and sober. disgusting really. if only we had a choice.

Where's the commercial...on here or YouTube?

Great to see you haven't forgotten dash cams completely Mat. My favorites! (Still waiting for the 'perfect' motorcycle set-up) Hope you're well on the mend. Good call not to repeat the basics.

Does the time-lapse function record normally simultaneously? Also: I haven't formatted the SD card in my Mobius since I bought it in 2013, whoops!
Techmoan
Yes you should have no problem getting the 119 locally. The previous 118 model was sold everywhere.
Techmoan
That's quite a co-incidence.

Very nice review. The lense tilt and turn thing is very handy. And we live in a small world: I know that roundabout A577/B5312 from the samples. Been there, but I am from Germany.

Matt, thanks for the upload, been looking for a simple dashcam for a while, driving here in Manila, Philippines is a free for all, and would be nice to have some piece of mind. Your dash cams for beginners video was a big help in giving me an idea of what to look for... the A119 is definitely something I'll Be on the lookout for and I believe it's available locally
