Default Dashcam installations

For those who are using a stickie mount on your windshield for your dashcam, do you have any issues with heat causing issue with the mount?

I have the Viofo A139 Pro and use the clear stickers with the supplied 3M tape. It's been stuck to the top of my windshield/rear window for over a year now. It gets well over 100 in the parking lot during the summer.

How have you enjoyed that camera? I was considering Blackvue initially but still looking around.

It's really good! I recommend Viofo to anyone that asks me about dashcams.

My brother got one on his brand new Cadillac Lyriq. He got rear ended on the freeway just 2 weeks after receiving the car and had it all on video (front and rear). All the damage is being paid for by the other party and he's filing for depreciation.
He told me, "It did it's job." So he was happy with it.
My friend also bought the A229 Plus for his car.

It may not have all the bells and whistles like a higher end Blackvue or Thinkware, but it was the first and only one at the time to have the Starvis 2 sensor. Of course, there are few more options now.
I hooked mine to the fuse box in the trunk, so the parking mode works great.
It's true 4k and the video quality is very good.

I got mine here since they had it before Amazon. It's possible that it's sold out since I only see a refurbished one, but Amazon has them too.

Will have to look at the Viofo dash cams - have not heard of them but worth considering.
