Hello,
I hope someone can help me here please, as I am stumped. I owned a Viofo A129 Duo, and after years of use, it failed. On the bad camera, the hardwire kit works perfect, mount worked fine, but the other camera would just shut off on power loss. So, I went ahead and bought a replacement. I reused the hardwire kit, mount, and rear camera. As only front camera had problems.
The replacement came with firmware 2.2 and records fine, will enter parking mode once the car turns off, but the parking mode keeps shutting off after 2 minutes no matter how long the car is driven. This camera shipped with firmware 2.2 and I tried upgrading to 2.4. The same problem happens.
1. I have low bitrate enabled for parking mode
2. I have motion detection off
3. I have Parking Timer Off
4. I have recording duration set to off (choices are 24 hrs, 48hrs, etc)
Everything worked perfect on the old camera and still does. I tried flashing this new camera back to firmware 1.5 (what old camera used) to see if that works, but the new camera WILL NOT flash back. It only let me upgrade from 2.2 ---> 2.4
I would like to see if 1.5 works. Can someone guide me how to flash it back from 2.4 to firmware 1.5?
I have tried downloading Firmware 1.5 from here: https://www.captureyouraction.com/pages/viofo-a129-firmware
Formatting Card to Fat 32
And all the camera does is boot up and start recording.....It won't downgrade the firmware.
