VIOFO A119 Mini 2 2K QHD Dash Cam
VIOFO A119 MINI 2 2K HDR Dash Cam with GPS
The VIOFO A119 Mini 2 is a compact front-facing dash cam with 2K recording, a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, GPS and dual-band Wi-Fi. Its small screen and voice controls make it a practical option for drivers who want a discreet, single-camera setup. If you need front and rear coverage, compare it with the VIOFO A229 Plus 2CH.
2K Recording in a Compact Camera
Choose 2K at 60FPS with HDR off, or 30FPS with HDR. The camera records the road ahead with a 140° view. HDR and the STARVIS 2 sensor help manage difficult lighting, while the compact body is easy to position near the rear-view mirror. For dashboard reflections, select the CPL-100 option on our VIOFO CPL filters page. BlackboxMyCar Aqua Shield is a windshield accessory; follow its placement instructions so it does not obstruct the camera.
Parking modes for different priorities
Auto Event Detection saves 15 seconds before and 30 seconds after detection. Time-lapse records at 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10FPS without audio; low-bitrate keeps continuous video with audio in smaller files. Choose the mode for the evidence you need and the power available.
The separate VIOFO HK4 supplies constant power and the ignition signal for automatic switching. The camera’s supercapacitor helps save the last file when power stops; it cannot run parking mode by itself. Read our parking-mode guide and test the installation before relying on it.

Low-Light Recording with Super Night Vision
Super Night Vision 2.0 and the STARVIS 2 sensor improve sensitivity in darker conditions. HDR helps balance bright lights and shadowed areas. Night footage still depends on speed, distance, weather and available light, so test the installation on a familiar route and keep the windshield and camera lens clean. Enabling HDR reduces the frame rate to 30FPS.

Voice commands and camera status
Use supported voice commands for recording, photos and Wi-Fi. Spoken notifications report settings changes and memory-card errors. Choose the voice language in the camera and practise commands while parked.
The optional BTR200 Bluetooth remote provides clip locking and configurable shortcuts. Bluetooth is for the remote, while the phone app uses Wi-Fi. Neither provides a cellular connection or remote parking alerts.

Daytime Detail and Footage Storage
The Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor records the road ahead through a 140° lens. Store clips on a compatible high-endurance microSD card up to 512GB, and copy important recordings before loop recording overwrites older files. Plate visibility varies with speed, distance and lighting.

Compact Installation with Wi-Fi and GPS
The small camera body and 1.5-inch display suit a discreet windshield installation near the rear-view mirror. Position it where it has a clear view of the road. Built-in GPS records route and speed information, while 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi connects to the VIOFO app for local playback, downloads and settings.
Download footage before viewing its GPS map in the app or a compatible computer player. Wi-Fi connects to a nearby phone; GPS records journey data and does not track the car remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can A119 MINI 2 record 60FPS with HDR, and which sensor does it use?
No. Select 2560 × 1440 at 60FPS with HDR off, or 30FPS with HDR on. The 60FPS setting favours smoother motion; HDR balances bright and dark areas.
A119 MINI 2 uses a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 1/2.8-inch 5MP sensor with an F1.6 lens and a 140° view. It is different from the older A119 V3 and the 4K A119M Pro.
Can I check my car remotely over Wi-Fi?
No. Its 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi connects locally to a nearby phone running the VIOFO app. It has no cellular connection, cloud storage or remote parking alerts. GPS records driving data; it is not live remote tracking.
What is required for parking mode, and which modes are available?
A separately sold VIOFO HK4 supplies constant power and the ignition signal for automatic parking mode. Match the installation and voltage cutoff to the vehicle. A car charger in an ignition-switched socket stops supplying power when the vehicle is off.
Auto Event Detection saves buffered events with 15 seconds before and 30 seconds after detection. Time-lapse records at a reduced frame rate without sound; low-bitrate recording runs continuously with smaller files and audio. Recording stops when its power or configured limit is reached.
Are a memory card and CPL filter included?
No. Choose a compatible high-endurance microSD card up to 512GB and, if needed, the optional CPL-100 filter. The camera package includes its GPS mount and car charger; the hardwire kit is also separate.
Can I add a rear camera or Bluetooth remote?
A rear camera cannot be added: this is a front-only camera. The optional VIOFO BTR200 Bluetooth remote is supported for convenient clip locking and configured shortcuts. Bluetooth does not transfer video to your phone.
How does MINI 2 compare with A119M Pro?
A119M Pro adds 4K 30FPS HDR, a larger IMX678 sensor, Wi-Fi 6 and an included CPL filter. MINI 2 offers 2K 60FPS with HDR off. Choose a dual-channel camera if you also need rear coverage.
How do I choose the correct MINI 2 firmware?
Check the serial number behind the GPS mount or on the box. VIOFO provides FWA119MN.bin for serial numbers beginning A119MN, and FWA119M2.bin for A119MS. Open Manuals and firmware below, select A119 MINI 2, and use the download matching your serial prefix. Back up recordings and settings before following its update instructions.
