Viofo A119 Mini 2 - front only.

Works well as long as I remember to mount it below the tinted strip at top of windshield...

Mine plugs into cig lighter/12v port in console, does everyone leave them plugged in when not using vehicle? My plug stays lit when car is off. Should I power cam off just with it's button when not in use or unplug from 12V port?

Don't leave it plugged in
Most vehicles these days have a 2 position fuse the the 12V outlet. Look into your owners manual and/or fuse box. The fuse location should have 3 female pins, where it is now is full time 12V. Pull the fuse and plug it back in using the same center pin and the outside pin it wasn't using

so unplug it when not driving car?
