1 Channel dashcam

There are also many differences with 1 Channel dashcams, we have listed a few that may be interesting!

With the help of the G-sensor, the dashcam can also be used in parking mode, allowing you to record images when the car is parked. The VIOFO A119 V3 does not have a Wi-Fi module, so the dashcam cannot be used in the VIOFO app. However, you can easily read the images via any computer or laptop!

VIOFO A119 Mini 2

2 Channel dashcam

Do you think it is important that a dashcam records the front and rear of the car? Then you choose a dashcam with 2 cameras.  The big advantage of a rear camera is of course the fact that you also have images of a car crashing into the back of you. In general, people do not just drive away after a collision, but if it does happen, you also have that person and the license plate in view! In addition, in most cases both cameras offer such a wide viewing angle that you only have a blind spot on the side of the car that is not filmed.
