VIOFO A119 Mini 2
Compact single-front dash cam with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor recording 2K 1440p at 60fps, 5GHz Wi-Fi, GPS, voice control and supercapacitor durability.
Quick verdict
The go-to best-compact / best-overall front cam — tiny enough to hide behind the mirror, but STARVIS 2 night footage punches far above its size and price.
Who it's for
Drivers who want top-tier front coverage in the most discreet, heat-tolerant package — and may add a rear cam later.
