Overview
The VIOFO A119 Mini 2 is a tiny, discreet 2K front dash cam that hides neatly behind your mirror — a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, HDR, GPS and 5GHz Wi-Fi in one of the smallest bodies VIOFO makes.

Who it's for
Perfect for drivers who want clear, reliable front recording without a gadget cluttering the windscreen. It's the smart-value pick for everyday cars, new drivers and anyone who wants a set-and-forget dash cam that simply works.
- 2K front recording
- Sony STARVIS 2
- Tiny & discreet
- GPS + 5GHz Wi-Fi
Want 4K up front? The A119M Pro is the same compact size with a 4K sensor. Want the rear covered too? The A229 Plus records 2K front and rear.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Sharp 2K (1440p) front footage that reads plates clearly
- Sony STARVIS 2 sensor with HDR for strong night performance
- Very compact — sits discreetly behind the mirror
- Built-in GPS logs speed and location for your records
- 5GHz Wi-Fi for fast clip downloads to the VIOFO app
Worth knowing
- Front camera only: it does not take a rear camera, so choose an A229 kit if you want front and rear
- Parking mode needs the HK4 hardwire kit (sold separately)
- CPL filter is an optional extra
- microSD card sold separately
A closer look
Big clarity, tiny footprint
The A119 Mini 2 proves you don't need a bulky camera for great footage. Its 2K Quad HD resolution and Sony STARVIS 2 sensor capture crisp detail and readable number plates day and night, while the compact body tucks out of sight behind your rear-view mirror.
Smart features as standard
Built-in GPS stamps your speed and location onto every clip — useful evidence for any claim — and 5GHz Wi-Fi lets you review and download footage to your phone in seconds. Add the HK4 hardwire kit to unlock parking mode.
Installation options
Car charger (included, plug-and-play): plug into the 12V socket and tuck the cable around the windscreen trim, and you are recording in minutes. Recording stops when the socket switches off with the ignition, so parking mode needs a hardwire kit or a battery pack.
VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit (optional, unlocks parking mode): connects to the fuse box with a low-voltage cut-off that protects your car battery, and frees up the 12V socket. It is what turns on the buffered parking modes.
Professional fitting: hardwiring means working in the fuse box. If you would rather not, we can point you to an installer. Our guide to dash cam power options compares every option.

A Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor records 2K at up to 60fps, with DOL-HDR to hold detail in headlights and shadow.


Small enough to disappear

Wi-Fi, GPS and voice control
5GHz Wi-Fi for quick downloads, a GPS logger for speed and location, and spoken commands for locking clips hands-free.


Parking protection
With the HK4 hardwire kit fitted, buffered parking keeps the 15 seconds before an event.

Frequently asked questions
Is 2K enough for reading number plates?
Yes — 2K Quad HD is a big step up from 1080p and reads plates clearly in most everyday conditions. If you want 4K, look at the A119M Pro or A229 range.
Does it record the rear of my car?
No. The A119 Mini 2 is a front-only camera and does not take a rear camera. For front and rear, choose the A229 Plus (2K both ways) or the A229 Pro (4K front, 2K rear).
How do I get parking mode?
Add the VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit, which powers the camera safely while you're parked with low-voltage battery protection.
Does it come with a memory card?
No — pair it with a high-endurance card rated for continuous recording; we recommend VIOFO's Industrial Grade cards, which we stock in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.
