VS1 Mini Dash Cam, 1440P/2K HDR Dashcam, STARVIS 2 Sensor, Free 32GB SD Card, 5GHz Wi-Fi Voice Control Car Dash Camera with GPS, Night Vision 2.0, 24H Parking Mode, Support 512GB Max

So far these units work as they should even though I have not had an incident to record yet (fortunately). Installation was simple and straightforward with the only issue being the 3M double backed tape that is included is worthless at least here in AZ. Had to substitute it with Gorilla brand double backed clear tape, one piece applied to the base of the unit and the other to the mounting surface, this provided the most secure mounting that holds up to the heat here. Overall the memory capacity, design and functionality are all good and it is fairly easy to connect to. At some future point, I plan to tackle the power connection by changing from a cigarette lighter source to a fuse tap system on a switched circuit. I bought 2 of these, one for front other for rear which was a cheaper option and easier to install than other systems that use a small rear camera that connects to the front. This setup also is much less obvious as the front does not require a large and noticeable unit. Another issue with many of these setups, if you have tinted windows as I do, the cameras do not work well with the tint. It can obscure images at night and during the day it can make the image quality very poor and grainy due to the lower resolution that these add on rear cameras offer. So far from testing the image quality, I have not encountered the same issues with this camera due to its higher resolution and better imaging sensors.

If you are looking for a small, good dash cam with great video, this is the one to get. I did a lot of research on dash cams and ended up purchasing this one. Why, the size and the fact that it had the new Sony Starvis 2 sensor. It's only 2K but the video quality is great! On the size, I wanted something that I could hide behind my rearview mirror and this fit the bill. Installation was easy but I did not use the included kit. I used one from Dongar Tech since I have an auto dimming mirror in my car and preferred to use that. It simply taps your mirror power. But the included kit has everything you need to do a clean install. Perfect fit and you can't see it behind the mirror. Setup was easy and took no time at all as you use the Viofo app to do the setup and aim the camera. No need for a screen on the dash cam. One thing to do is make sure you update the firmware. Viofo has great instructions on how to do this on their website. Using the dash cam is easy as it turns on when you start your car. One thing it has that I like is voice control. You can tell it to stop recording, take a photo and save a video and turn on the wifi and turn it off. The video durning the day is clean and clear with detail (although you do get a little refection on the windshield of your dash which can be fixed by using a polarizing filter which I understand is coming). Nighttime video is very good! As good as some 4K video that I have seen from other brands. You can view the video's on your smartphone as it has wifi and download the ones you want to keep. It has 5G so make sure you use that to download as it is quick. Overall a very good, small dash cam that has great features. I'm thinking of getting another one for the back windshield as it is small enough for that.

I researched several dash cams, the components that go into these devices and spent quite a bit of time doing so. It turns out that even the more expensive dash cams use the same internals as these units, so as far as value for money goes these can’t be beat. I’ve been able to do all the settings in the app easily (maximum bitrate, taking the speed and coordinates off the video, G sensor sensitivity set to minimum, preferred length of video segments, etc.). The app is not well rated on the App Store, however I had no problem using it/navigating the options, etc. The fact that this doesn’t have a built in screen is a plus for me. I’m fine connecting my cellphone to the internal WiFi of the unit and viewing the video that way. A nice feature that I didn’t realize at time of purchase that I appreciate are the voice commands. Although they don’t execute 100% of the time I use them, it’s probably around 85% give or take, it generally works on the 2nd attempt and I don’t have to reach over, touch a button and that is very nice. The commands I use are to turn on/off the WiFi (I only have it on when I need to connect of course), lock the video (puts that segment in a saved section in the app) and take a photo (saved in the photos section in the app). It’s a straight forward device that works very well. I mounted mine on the static sheet (2 are provided in box) and have had zero issues with that method. The unit has not come off, knock on wood, and is secure. You can easily disconnect the camera from the base (GPS module) by sliding it to the right. Also included is the VHB (very high bond) 3M double stick tape (again, 2 included). The cord length was just fine (had extra that I tucked in a space under my glove compartment) and I imagine it would be fine given the extra I had for most applications. I had a question and the customer service was quick and comprehensive via email. I found the agent very attentive and caring, a high level of customer service is available should you need it. They very much support their products and care that you are happy with the product. Very happy with the purchase.

Amazing little device. No screen of its own. That’s fine. You can view live feed on your phone (or other smart device) by connecting to the cam’s own WiFi (5G is nice). Using the built-in WiFi, you can also download recordings or plug in directly and bring the videos down. Or just pop out the memory card and read directly from it. Got a Y saddle (FitDVR power adapter) to pull power from the overhead console and avoided running long cables around the trim. So the long and short of it is that I have a tiny high def camera by my rear-view mirror that has a tiny footprint and I barely notice as I drive. BTW, hooked into the dome lights, it powers up automatically and begins recording right away. Total no-brainer; I don’t have to think of turning on every time I get in the vehicle.

Been using it for about 8 months with no issues, with Dubai heat as well. Reasonably good video quality. Small and discreet, and hides neatly behind my rear view mirror. Has usb connector also which connect behind my review mirror, so it’s completely out of the way with no visible cables. Most people don’t even know I have a dashcam, and to be honest sometimes I also forget. 100% recommend!

The omission of the screen and 30fps limitation is perhaps a downgrade from my other car's viofo a119 mini 2, which was also cheaper and years older. But the market is what it is, and this is an excellent quality dashcam.

Got this on sale, was well priced for a 2K dashcam. I love that it includes a 32GB microSD high endurance card which saves me another purchase. Installation is easy but you have to be creative if you want to hide the wires. I plugged the adapter in the center console. Simply disconnected the side panel and drilled a hole big enough to pass the wire. Voice recognition is accurate but you do need to perform a firmware update. App works well, takes a while to download videos off WiFi. We've captured 2 accidents on video and were able to provide the proof to the police.

I’m impressed with the build quality, sleek design, and overall performance of the Viofo VS1 Mini Dash Cam. It’s compact and discreet, making it a great choice for keeping the windshield clutter-free. The video quality is good during the day, but nighttime footage suffers from significant glare, which is disappointing. Viofo recommends using a CPL filter to reduce glare and improve clarity, but at this price point, I feel the CPL filter should be included in the box. Adding this filter would make the product truly exceptional and offer better value for money. Overall, it’s a solid dash cam with great potential, but the need for an additional purchase to improve night footage is a letdown. Hopefully, future iterations or bundles will address this.
