For some reason, anytime i click on any videos on here i can't hear anything. The video plays perfectly, but no sound. Anyone has any idea as to why?

Regarding the dash cam, i also have a Viofo that i plan on installing. Its the duo pro, so the 2 channel. What made you go with the 3 channel over the 2? Was this 3 channel recently released because i don't remember seeing it when i was looking for dash cams?

sorry mate only just seen youre reply, in regards to getting no sound on the video its most likely down to the forum so in future the only thing i could recommend is going to the youtube channel directly.

viofo reached out to me and sent me this to make a video on before i had never heard of them so i was having a look on there site and could see they just brought out the 3 channel dashcam but personally i wont be using the interior camera as i think its a invasion of privacy apart from that i would highly recommend it after running it for around a month

What did you set the cutoff voltage to on the hardwire selector?

Going to a dedicated battery power source (like a cellink) to run the camera off of will solve that issue too.

I also recommend Cellink NEO battery. It's installed in both cars in the family.

Doesn’t having the cam mounted so low bug you or can’t you see it when driving? I have a Viofo A119 V3 in my car and I have it mounted in the same place as you but as high up as I could get away with. Only problem is that I then can’t see the screen or buttons as the rear view mirror obscures it.

Same here. I’ve had a Cellink battery B for about 4 years now and the wife’s car has the Cellink neo running a Blackvue DR750s-2ch and DR900s-2ch respectively. Highly worth it. Don’t have to mess with voltage settings and risk running down the expensive car batteries, especially the Lithium battery in the F80.
