\"\"<\/a>Suzanne Keane puts the Viofo A139 Dash Cam to the test<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What is it?\u00a0<\/strong>The Viofo A139 3 channel Dash Cam takes the dash cam experience to another level with 3 cameras fitted to the car. A front, interior and rear camera provide you with almost full coverage while you\u2019re driving, and you can connect directly to the camera via an app.<\/p>\n

Who is it best for?<\/strong>\u00a0Anyone who wants to record themselves driving, for safety, security or any other reason. There\u2019s also a built-in microphone that records sound so it\u2019s a great way of recording family trips and catching those moments that would be missed otherwise.<\/p>\n

Best points?\u00a0<\/strong>The ability to connect to the camera from your phone is excellent. Gone are the days where you had to bring the camera inside and plug it into a laptop to view a video. You can connect via the app and WiFi and view and download videos without moving the A139 unit off the windscreen. You can also adjust the cameras via the app if, for example, one has been fitted upside down.<\/p>\n

The collision sensor is a great feature. It locks the video file from the point of impact and stops it from being overwritten accidentally \u2013 however, something like hitting a pothole or slamming the boot can also set it off!<\/p>\n

Because there are three cameras fitting the A139 is a little more complex than a single camera set-up. The rear cable is just 2.8mm thick so is easy enough to slot under trim and it\u2019s powered via a USB Type C cable. We fitted the cameras to an estate and the cable wasn\u2019t quite long enough to reach the centre of the back window \u2013 however, if we had put it through the roof lining it would have made it so plan the best route before fitting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anything else?<\/strong>\u00a0There\u2019s a parking mode which may not prevent bumps and dents but will show you who\u2019s responsible. The vertical angle of the front camera is adjustable to get the perfect view of the road and the Sony STRAVIS sensors give great clarity to nighttime images. The LED internal camera can pick up detail even in pitch darkness and GPS speed and location are also recorded with the video.<\/p>\n

However, the front camera unit wouldn\u2019t stay on my windscreen with the 3M sticker that was provided \u2013 this could be down to condensation as in the morning the camera would be hanging off the windscreen so we ended up fitting it with some extra extra strong double sided tape! Also, the wiring for the rear camera can disconnect if you\u2019re opening and closing the boot all the time (on an estate or hatchback) so you should check it before setting off on a long journey.<\/p>\n

Where can I get one?<\/strong> The Viofo A139 3 Channel Dash Cam is available from\u00a0Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will it break the bank?<\/strong>\u00a0The Viofo A139 has an RRP of \u00a3279.95 with free delivery \u2013 at today\u2019s conversion rate that\u2019s coming in as \u20ac342.42.<\/p>\n

An optional External Microphone<\/a> is available if you need high quality sound and a Bluetooth remote control is another optional accessory.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the verdict?<\/strong>\u00a0In terms of quality the output from the Viofo A139 is brilliant. The ability to download just the videos you want is a great feature and you won\u2019t ever have to take the camera out of the car unless you really want to.<\/p>\n

Why you will buy one?<\/strong>\u00a0Connectivity, Front and rear view, High Quality Images
\nWhy you won\u2019t?\u00a0<\/strong>Wire popping out of the rear camera can be a bit annoying!<\/p>\n
