VIOFO A119 V3 | 2K QHD+ 1600p Dash Cam with Sony STARVIS 2, GPS, Buffered Parking Mode & 2" LCD Screen

VIOFO A119 V3 — Reddit’s Favorite Budget 2K Dash Cam: QHD+ 1600p, Sony STARVIS 2 & GPS Included

The VIOFO A119 V3 is the top model in the A119 series and one of the most recommended budget dash cams on the market — consistently praised by the dash cam community for delivering premium image quality at an accessible price. Powered by a 5MP Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor, it records in 2K QHD+ (2560×1600) @ 30FPS — a step above standard 2K resolution — with a 140° field of view for wide road coverage. GPS is included with the antenna embedded in the mount for a clean, cable-free install. Buffered parking mode captures 15 seconds before and 30 seconds after any event. A straightforward, no-nonsense dash cam that simply delivers.

2K QHD+ 1600p with Sony STARVIS 2 — More Resolution Than Standard 2K

The A119 V3 records in 2K QHD+ (2560×1600) @ 30FPS — the “+” matters. At 1600p vertical resolution vs. the standard 1440p, you get more image data per frame, resulting in sharper license plate reads and finer road detail. The 5MP Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor delivers excellent low-light performance with high sensitivity and low noise, producing clear, vibrant footage in both daylight and nighttime conditions. The 140° wide-angle lens captures multiple lanes of traffic with minimal edge distortion.

GPS Included — Antenna Embedded in the Mount

The A119 V3 comes with an external GPS module with the antenna embedded directly in the windshield mount — no extra cables dangling from the camera. GPS embeds your speed, route, and location data onto every video clip for insurance documentation, ticket disputes, and route logging. The GPS also automatically synchronizes the camera’s clock for accurate timestamps on all footage.

Buffered Parking Mode — 15 Seconds Before, 30 Seconds After

The A119 V3’s parking mode captures the full context of any incident — not just the moment of impact. Buffered recording saves 15 seconds before and 30 seconds after any triggered motion or impact event, giving you complete evidence of what happened and what led up to it.

Note: Parking mode requires a constant power supply. The VIOFO 3-Wire ACC Hardwiring Kit is sold separately. Alternatively, an external battery pack such as the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 can be used.

2" LCD Screen — Review Footage Without Your Phone

The built-in 2" LCD screen lets you review footage, adjust settings, and check recording status directly on the camera — no app or phone required. The quick-release mount makes it easy to attach and detach the camera for transfers between vehicles or safe storage when not in use.

Note: The VIOFO A119 V3 does not include Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Footage must be reviewed on the camera screen or by removing the SD card.
