Daytime video sample from a Viofo A119V3 dash cam.
The previous Viofo dash cams have been reliable, and one of my first choices for use in large trucks. The A119V3 should retail around $120, US, with the GPS mount. It should arrive in online retailers in the next few weeks. The current, older version, the A119V2, is still a good choice, and a little cheaper. The V3 should have better night video than the V2, but I have not been able to come up with many night video samples to compare, yet.
You can see your speed as determined by the GPS embedded in the bottom left of the video. I prefer to have my speed displayed, I drive very modestly. Some drivers worry about the GPS on the video 'telling' on them, if the police seize the cam. I may be a few MPH over the speed limit, I don't worry about it. It will be hard for the cops, or me, to prove the $10 GPS module option is accurate enough to write a ticket on, or as defense against a claimed speed infraction unless it is totally ridiculous. In casual scrutiny, the GPS speed can show you are adjusting your speed to sudden traffic conditions.
If you're worried about having a record of you speeding too often, make sure you use a smaller memory card in your cam, 8 GB, 16 GB, etc. A 64 GB card yield around 8 hours of coverage.
The A119 will use a 128 GB card, also, reliably.
