Topics Filter:
I have a viofo a229 duo. It was easy to install. What ever camera you get, make sure to run the cables behind the airbag in the A pillar. You don’t want to impede the airbag in an accident
r/hondaridgeline • What dashcams do you have in your Ridgeline? ->I have Viofo A229 which I like. It, actually just saved my ass and paid for itself several times over. A dump truck failed to merge and took out my right quarter panel.
r/hondaridgeline • Updated list of the best dash cams ->VIOFO a229 duo. Had it for about 6 months and no issues at all. The app can be a little finicky sometimes but no major complaints.
r/ToyotaHighlander • Dash Cam recommendations? ->I’ve had my Viofo A229 Duo for nearly a year now (installed last July) with no issues. Even when I have a sunshade trapping it, there have been no problems.
r/Dashcam • Dashcam recommendations for Texas heat? ->I use a Viofo A229 Duo. There are better ones and they come with a cost. This one serves me well.
r/dashcams • What is the best dashcam in your opinion? ->The A119 is good also. The main difference being the two cameras in the A229. All cars should have dashcams.
r/fordranger • What dashcams are y’all running? ->Nice try u/hachielectronics we know you have alt accounts. (Love the a229 with the hardwire kit btw)
r/GR86 • Dash cams ->Viofo A229 Duo is a great piece of kit. Very happy with mine.
r/Dashcam • Dash cam suggestions ->Viofo a229 duo with the black box my car battery. Hardwired but doesn’t put strain on my car battery. This is only relevant cos I park outside at work in -30C and the car battery only works for 2 hours before the low voltage cutoff. The dedicated battery keeps parking mode going the whole day.
r/GR86 • What dash cams does everybody use? ->I haven't had any issues with my Viofo A229 duo. SD card is separate, as is the hardwire kit.
r/f150 • Best dash cams ->Type s 401, the a229 viofi, and one other that gets recommended a lot on the dash cam sub. Sometimes just randomly my eyesight would bug out or just not work all together such as lane departure and "obstacle detection" which I just decided to go with the Garmin mini because a lot of Subaru owners (at least people who own newer models) recommend the Garmin because of the no screen which I so far have not had issues with. Oh and my car is a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. I was worried the anti collision would randomly activate on me and slam on the brakes
r/Crosstrek • Dash cam recommendations 24’ ->We can argue all day about whether it should include one or whether the cameras we already have should keep video, but it's super easy to just install one yourself as well. Takes all of about 15 minutes and is a one time charge that more than pays for itself if you ever get in an accident. I've got the viofo a229 duo and it's great. Thankfully I haven't had a need for it, but I've caught video of some close misses. The app could use some work though lol
r/MachE • This car needs an built in dash cam ->Besides the misleading 4k that you pointed out already, as a run of the mill dash camera, it's decent value. Don't rely on parking mode though, as it takes forever to turn on when set for impact detection only. Installability: With proper surface prep (alcohol wipes) the suction cup should hold just find even in the heat. We haven't had any complaints of them falling when clients supply the camera. Hardwire kit, buy the Viofo HK4. It'll work with the redtiger AND give you better battery protection options(11.8, 12, 12.2, 12.4v). Opposed to the fixed 11.8v You can get a tried and true A129pro for little more. I'd personally recommend something more current, such as the 229 plus https://youtu.be/5EcITSNBQ6A?si=LXSIRRU23bRqHZBg
r/Dashcam • [deleted by user] ->When upgrading from the A229Duo to A329, you can re-use the HK4 hardwire kit. While the A229 DUO also utilizes the coax rear video cable, we will verify backward compatibility this week. Dimensionally they are the same. If it is backwards compatible which we hope it is, this allows those with older setups to easily upgrade. The GPS mount will need to be replaced, but that's easy to remove with some braided fishing line and a razor blade.
r/Dashcam • VIOFO A329 TESTING AND REVIEW ->Just confirmed that the A229Duo and A329 rear cables are identical. There are no issues with video feed, and it is 100% backward/forward compatible.
r/Dashcam • VIOFO A329 TESTING AND REVIEW ->I have a Viofo a229 2ch front and rear with a memory card and Dongar adapter that I only used for 3 months in my tacoma. Getting rid of it. Message me if you wanna work something out.
r/4Runner • Who’s got a dash cam and what you using? ->Got a Viofo A229 on prime day, love it so far. Got a Dongar adapter to get power from the mirror. If you have a rear camera too, I recommend something like this. [Rear plate DIY](https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/311142-rear-dashcam-mounting-plate.html) I just used some aluminum stock I had. Cool that there is a threaded m6 hole behind the headliner clip. Edit: Maybe people’s experiences differ, but I did read between all the rewriting, high temperatures and vibrations, a higher end xD card is good, so we did that
r/4Runner • Who’s got a dash cam and what you using? ->I have the Viofo A229 front and rear dash cam on my 2014 Odyssey, and the video quality seems really good. The main benefit is that if you’re in a crash, you have evidence—but that could backfire if the accident is your fault. I’m a noob when it comes to installing this stuff, and I’d say it was of medium difficulty. The hardest parts were removing the panels to ensure the wires don’t interfere with the airbags, finding the correct fuse that allows the camera to turn on in accessory mode, and routing the camera wire from the rear hatch into the main cabin. There are plenty of videos online about this. I also found CR-V and Pilot installation videos helpful since their setups are pretty similar.
r/HondaOdyssey • Dash cam noob. ->What's the budget? What features do you need(parking mode, cloud connection, etc)? Stick with name brands though. Viofo for good budget option. Blackvue or Thinkware for premium options
r/Subaru_Outback • Dash cam recommendations? ->Around $100, get Viofo. Unless you get a good sale, you're looking at front only and not a front/rear. Look for one with the Starvis 2 sensor, it's a big improvement over the original one
r/Subaru_Outback • Dash cam recommendations? ->229 front and matching rear is what I run and been very happy with it. Super easy to quickly detach and remove from windshield mounting base too. Another slick setup is to get the separate mini front mount and use it as a rear cam. Typically much easier to find 12v power in the rear that connecting rear cam to the front camera. Oh and I'm in Phoenix area too.
r/arizona • Dashcam recommendations? ->On a 2021 Highlander XLE we use a Viofo a229 and use the Dongar wiring harness mentioned by another commenter. It works very well. A model Y was on my radar when they came out but ended up with the Highlander. For me it was the build quality issues from Tesla at the time. Besides more room, any other reasons you have for Highlander than model Y? Sometimes I think I still might want to get an EV at some point in time.
r/ToyotaHighlander • New Highlander, dash cam? ->It's not just you. I got the FITCAMX as my first Dashcam, but didn't like the capture. I returned it and got the Viofo A229 and the capture is much better.
r/Dashcam • [Fitcamx 4K] Just me or is this video quality trash for a $200 dashcam? You can't even make out the license plate of the car that turned in front of me, not that I care in this case. At least the cam installed easily and looks sleek. ->I got the Viofo A229 (front and back) and wired it myself to the fuse box with their hard wire kit. First time I've removed/routed wires through trim and it wasn't that bad. Routing the two wires properly through the A pillar (behind the airbag) did take me an hour or so and a little improvising but the rest was smooth. I ended up bending a wire hanger into a C shape, tying the cable to that, and pulling the wire hanger up and behind the airbag. Would've saved me thirty minutes or so if I had planned on how I would snake the wire through the A pillar before hand. Only visible cables are where the power cables come out of the headliner trim/rear hatch trim into the dashcams. If you only care about a front cam, I know I looked at some that are wired into the rearview mirror power cabling that looked almost 100% stock. Would've gone for that if I didn't want a rear cam. u/thisisinput has an awesome video there showing almost exactly what I did. I probably watched that when I installed mine. I decided to put the camera on the right side of my mirror (which does leave more cabling exposed) because I prefer the dashcam out of sight while driving. But that's just personal preference.
r/Golf_R • Dash-cam recommendations ->I am pretty happy with my front Viofo A229; it is unobtrusive but accessible if needed, and taps into the lane assist camera power so no dangling wires (other posts / comments in the sub explain this already). I am waiting for a warmer day, to install the rear cam, since that is more involved.
r/rav4club • OEM Looking Dash Cam ->Got the same one! Where did you position yours? I followed the instruction + position it where it wouldn't "block" eyesight. But it's in a position where the windshield wiper doesn't wipe 🫠 so I want to move it again Also, does hardwiring won't void any warranty?
r/Crosstrek • Dash Cam Recommendations ->I got the Viofo A229 dual front and rear. Wired to a blackbox my car Powercell8, which is wired to the 20A accessory fuse. The Powercell 8 runs the camera when it's parked, and the car charges the powercell when I'm driving. As long as I drive the car every day for at least 30 minutes, the powercell always keeps a charge. Dropping the headliner and running all the wires wasn't that bad. There are videos online that run you through the installation.
r/rav4club • Dash cams ->Yep me too. I have the 229 front and rear and have the parking connected with a fuse jumper into one of the fuses. Its my 3rd Viofo and they have all been great!!
r/GR86 • Best dashcam with parking mode(front and rear)? ->Viofo A229 represent! I did like a week of research until I settled on this exact model. It's the perfect balance of quality and cost for me. Sometimes Chinese product are great!
r/Costco • Is the Type S Dashcam worth the buy? ->23 forester but I use the viofo a229. Mounted it off to the right of the eyesight
r/SubaruForester • What Dashcams are y’all using on your 25 Foresters? ->I have the Viofo dual channel. I hardwired it into the fuse panel. Works great so far.
r/Crosstrek • Dashcam? ->I have used the viofo a229 and now I’m using the pelsee p12 pro. Although I would say I slightly prefer the viofo over the pelsee.
r/GR86 • What dash cams does everybody use? ->Whatever you pick, I’d recommend against a camera that dangles off a mount unless it’s very small. I tried a Thinkware Q200 but I had to take it off immediately bc the Tacoma windshield is so small, it distracted my view no matter where I tried mounting it. I got a Viofo A229 instead and like another commenter, I mounted it in the black dot area of the windshield next to the mirror and I hardly notice it.
r/ToyotaTacoma • for those of you who have dashcams, what’s the best one that you’d recommend? ->I've owned several Viofos and I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died. I now have 70mai brand. Have the model A800S
r/Ioniq5 • Recommendations for a dash cam? ->I have a Viofo A229 front/rear dashcam. Works well
r/BoltEV • Recommendations for dash cameras? ->My VIOFO A229 camera constantly powers down & reboots when temps are above 70 & the sun is out. Camera is unreliable & dealing with customer service has been a nightmare. Would recommend to stay away from their cameras
r/Dashcam • [deleted by user] ->Second on the viofo a229. It was easy to route the rear camera wiring under the fittings so it looks really clean
r/CX50 • Dash Cam suggestion for 2024 CX50 PP trim ->Also a fan of Viofo. Been working great since I installed it just over a year ago. I got it because of the Starvis 2 sensor which gives improved clarity in the dark. If anyone is driving at night I highly recommend any dashcam with a Starvis 2 sensor.
r/rav4prime • Dash & rear camera recommendations ->I have the Viofo front and rear combo. Bought from Amazon. Hardwired it in —- I did most of the installation but had Geek Squad finish it up for me when I had them replace the stock radio with a touch screen I bought from Crutchfield. 2015 LX
r/crv • Dashcams ->VIOFO in general make FANTASTIC dash cams. I couldn't be happier with both my A129 & A229
r/LinusTechTips • Project Farm agrees, VIOFO A119 V3 is the best dash cam ->I got the a229 and love it
r/LinusTechTips • Project Farm agrees, VIOFO A119 V3 is the best dash cam ->I just got the a229 but now need to install it. Any tips n tricks for that ?
r/crv • Dashcam and weather mats recommendation for 2025 crv ->I really like the Arc, the Viofo A229 was too bulky and I received multiple DOA hardwire kits before getting the Thinkware.
r/wrx_vb • Dash Camera Recommendations ->I've had a few cams over the years, viofo a229 has been the best so far. Very easy install too.
r/ram_trucks • Dash cam suggestions? ->Just when I think I have a good answer, someone comes up with a better answer. The hardwire kit looks great, definitely going to get that for my viofo. For others that are shopping, the starvis 2 sensor this has is great. I have both the older and newer viofo units, and the starvis 2 definitely makes a difference compared to the previous gen.
r/GR86 • What dash cams does everybody use? ->VIOFO A229. I ran the rear wire above the top liner and through the tubing for the break lights so I can open my hatch with the rear cam mounted on the highest point of the rear glass
r/prius • Dash Cam in Your Prius? ->Viofo A119,A129, or A229 depending on what you’re looking for are all good. The cable thing you tuck it in behind your trim so it isn’t dangling. Going to be a thing for any dash cam.
r/orlando • Dash Cameras ->Viofo A229 is the way to go.
r/KiaTelluride • Dashcam for the 2025 KIA Telluride SX Prestige ->I’ve used a Viofo A229 in another vehicle for a year or so and it works great. Hardwired into the fusebox, runs about 10 minutes after turning the car off, it’s been great. I’m really interested in anybody who’s used one on a Maverick, mostly for how they ran wires in the cab.
r/FordMaverickTruck • Dashcams? ->I went with the A139 because it doesn’t have a screen. AFAIK, there’s no way to completely disable the screen on the A229.
r/Dashcam • is the a229 pro the best 2ch dashcam? ->Hey! So I have a dual cam setup. I use the Viofo A229 and I had it professionally installed for $300. The guy messed up the wiring because he rushed through it, even though he "ensure he was a professional". I recommend the quality of the dashcam, despite their "chinese" off brand name, they make great stuff (not sponsored lol). Viofo has different cams as well, the one I posted has 1440p front and rear and is very clear. Anyway, take it to a reputable shop and TEST IT before leaving. Like test the parking mode works (when the car is off does the dash cam still turn on?) especially if you have an external battery configured. Also, go 256GB storage card or more. Good luck!
r/Charger • Dashboard Camera Recomendations ->Nice! I put mine to the right and behind my rearview mirror so I can't see it while I'm driving. Super useful and out of the way!
r/Charger • Dashboard Camera Recomendations ->+1 to the A229, although I used the hardwiring kit. It was very easy to install. From what I understand, hardwire kits are required in order to take advantage of the "parking mode" feature most dashcams have
r/BoltEV • Recommendations for dash cameras? ->Just ordered mine last night from there. Went with the a229 dual channel front and rear
r/GR86 • Dash cams ->Exactly what I bought. I hate messing with wires and fuses.
r/GR86 • Dash cams ->I have the VIOFO a229 for my Lexus gs350 it is easy to install and has pretty good quality for the price, also has audio
r/Lexus • Aftermarket Dash Cam ->Also rocking the a229 but not hardwired. A coworker of mine has a wolf box setup in his Ineos I'm slightly envious of, but they use the same image sensors.
r/GRCorolla • Dash cam recommendations ->I have the Viofo A229 Dual dashcam installed with a hardwiring kit in my car and in retrospect I feel I should have gone for something cheaper. So to you I would recommend something like the 70mai A510 dual dashcam. I feel it's better to have a dual dashcam in a country like ours. It helped me just recently in my insurance claims process when a 3 wheeler driving on the opposite side of the road rammed my fender and took off my front bumper as I was making a U-turn. This model sells for 14k on Amazon, has a Sony Starvis 2 sensor and basically all the features my Viofo dashcam has plus a lot more. I would recommend going through some reviews to know if you can turn off the "ADAS" features of this camera as I can see those being quite annoying. And yes I would recommend hardwiring for a nice factory finish. That way the front socket can be free to plug in a high watt mobile charger to get fast charging on your phone. Hardwiring will enable you to use parking recording. To be honest there are no cons to hardwiring except the knowledge and some skill needed to do this installation. I feel there are enough tutorial videos on YouTube to help you do the installation yourself but if you're not comfortable doing it, you could pay a professional installer for it. You can buy the hardwiring kit and a CPL filter (if there is one) for the 70mai A510 and still be nowhere close to the budget you'd need for the Viofo A229 whose sensor is now last gen.
r/CarsIndia • Dash cam enquiry ->Go to the dashcam sub. Better resource than here. Tl;Dr Is that you can use your dashcam video to avoid those "he said she said" bullshit things when an accident happens. Get a 2 channel, minimum (front and rear). There are even 4 channel units out there but they're hella complicated to install. 3 channel isn't super important unless you're doing like, Uber or something. Get a Viofo A229 (plus or pro) dual channel. I forget which one is better.
r/HondaOdyssey • Dash cam noob. ->Haha, same model here. And the same model I recommended on my response. Damn good camera for the price. Could also rig up an old GoPro or two with a little work if you've got them lying around. Oh and as far as "backfire". I mean, data gets corrupted by police departments all the time. Who's to say your dashcam was even working?
r/HondaOdyssey • Dash cam noob. ->My viofo dual front and rear cam has withstood years. The cable for it has not. Just got a new cable and works perfectly. I vote viofo if you want a quality cam. Mine has the front and back and GPS data too
r/Dashcam • Why does literally every dash cam have negative reviews which state the camera fails after several weeks or months? ->‘20 forester, same camera. Mine is “temporarily” mounted slightly below the eyesight cams, I was planning to move it to the right of the cameras, but that temp spot has been used since November (only bought the car in October)
r/SubaruForester • What Dashcams are y’all using on your 25 Foresters? ->I have the A229 and I hate the interface and the software. I prefer garmin.
r/Dashcam • [deleted by user] ->Viofo A229 is my new car and it works great. Also consider paying a local car stereo shop for an install. Well worth the money IMHO.
r/Dashcam • Worth the extra money for the sensor? ->I have the Viofo A229. Works very well and its discreet too. I do wish I had something that records inside as well though.
r/uberdrivers • Need suggestions for a good dash cam ->I love my VIOFO A229. The picture quality day or night is fantastic.
r/dashcams • Looking for The Best Dash Cam – Recommendations? ->Viofo a229 is the best hands down for the price. You can get better if you spend a lot more money but it's not worth it unless you want integration into a head unit. /r/dashcams
r/GrandCherokee • What dash cams do y’all use? ->How does this compare to other dashcams? Does it make better use of the extra space or is this just a cheap dashcam in a housing? I've got a Viofo A229 and it's been great quality and audio as well.
r/Golf_R • Does anyone have experience of a Fitcamx dash cam ->I have the same one, I think I used the door locks (always on) and the usb fuse
r/ElantraN • Just got a 2025 Elantra N! Looking for dashcam recommendations (good video, parking mode, easy DIY install). Also, best wheel locks—OEM or aftermarket? Suggestions? ->I put a viofo a229 in my wife's 24 Crosstrek and it has worked great. Great video. If you're not savvy enough to install it hardwired you can pay best buy 100 bucks to do it for you.
r/Crosstrek • Dash Cam Recommendations ->I use a VIOFO, whatever the newer dual channel cam is. I am going to hard wire it in the near future for parking protection. It hasn’t let me down yet and has really good quality. Just pricey and had an older model fail years ago so not too sure about longevity yet, only had it about a year.
r/ToyotaTacoma • Have any of you purchased the Toyota Integrated Dashcam? Is it good/reliable? I really want a dashcam and I am trying to narrow down which one to get. ->Viofo a119 v3 or Viofo a229 You'll have to buy the hardwire kit separately though . They're really good cams
r/F250 • F250 Dash-cam Suggestions ->I've been using the Viofo dashcams for over 10 years. They're as reliable as any other brand, affordable, and I have no reason to switch to another company. I put tens of hours into finding the right kind of dashcam. Viofo A119, or the A229. Since the market crash of 2009, auto insurance scams went up 1200 % within 2 years and with the increased cost of everything now, I can only assume that number has gone up. Even organized crime is involved, staging multi-vehicle crashes. EVERYONE needs a dashcam. If someone calls the police on you and it's their word against yours, you might lose in court. And not just traffic court. You can be charged criminally ( depending on that person's "story" ). If that happens, it will be months of stress, thousands on a lawyer and you still might lose. No license to get to and from work, thousands in fines, sued civilly, and angry for 10 years with much higher insurance premiums. This is a worst case scenario, but it happens everyday, all over the world. ## Whenever there's an incident, save the recording on your PC incase someone tries to blame you etc. Dashcams re-record once the SD card is full, so buy the largest SD card that the dashcam can handle., and format the SD card in the camera when you first put it in and reformat the SD card every couple of months to stop any bugs from popping up. No dashcam is "very" reliable, which is why I run 2. 2 out the front and 2 out the back. I recommend fishing the cord through the headliner at the top of the windshield, then down the side inside of the rubber seal by the hinge, then under the dash and back towards the engine, all the way left, then have it come forward. That way it's not too susceptible of getting snagged on somebody's bag etc. There are tons of YouTube videos showing this method. This is all I've ever used.
r/HondaOdyssey • Dash cam noob. ->**Make sure** whatever dashcam you buy has a **capacitor and NOT a battery.** In the summer the interior of cars can get well above 120° and **cook the battery**. A capacitor will survive, no problem. The same for the winter, the **batteries fail in the constant, deep cold,** capacitors don't. **Viofo A129 Plus Duo, or A229, or A119 are all very inexpensive but quite reliable { as far as dashcams go }** \- I've done a lot of research into dashcams. **EVERYONE should have them. They can save hundreds of thousands of dollars, years of stress and keep you out of prison.** Insurance fraud has sky rocketed since the 2009 economy crash. Elaborate schemes can cause injury and death, but it can also net the fraudsters a ton of money. I have been using Viofo for about 10 years. I replace the camera's every 3 years or so, just so they can be as stable as possible. I replace the SD cards every 2 cameras { 6 years }. **Make sure you get the biggest SD card the camera can hold { so you can record many hours, in case a complaint is made against you the following day etc. }. AND get a SD card manufacturer that Viofo recommends**, or you can have problems with recordings. { I never have }. Also, if an "incident" happens, even if it's minor, copy the few mins before, in case a police officer shows up a week later { your footage would have overwritten that footage by then } **Make sure you reformat the SD card INSIDE of the camera once in awhile.** Sometimes dashcams jam up and fail to record or shut off during recording and reformatting the SD card can keep this from happening.
r/rav4club • Dash Cam Option ->The best cameras are the Viofos but the Fitcam is the easiest to install cleanly and looks OEM so it really depends on what you're after.
r/Polestar • Dash cam Recommendations ->Viofo A129 or A229. Avoid Viofo A139, this model was nice because it had mini coax cables, but it's unreliable. When they start to fail they go into a boot loop randomly.
r/askcarguys • Best Dashcam Value? ->I've used Viofo for more than 10 years with no issues. I recently upgraded to a A229 duo channel which is $300 but my A119 still works great if you want to go less expensive
r/Dashcam • What kind of dashcam should I get? ->I have the viofo a229 and it does everything it's supposed to do. I set it up myself and it was pretty easy.
r/Crosstrek • Best Dash Cam for 2021 Crosstrek? ->3D Kagu, i’ll look into it. Thanks :) and yeah viofo is good
r/civic • Just bought a 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring – Accessory Recommendations? ->Awesome work, @OP. I just bought Viofo A229's lots of research; this chart would have reduced my "what does Reddit say?" time from ~30 minutes to ~30 seconds. Could honestly see it being a popular Reddit bot, or a standalone website for wider reach and additional data sources. A few API keys (and tons of effort and compute) and you'd be in business. The challenges people mentioned e g. bots and bias are real, but can be mitigated. Great modernized sentiment analysis use case.
r/dashcams • I analyzed the 25 most recommended dashcams on Reddit ->Have you performed the full review on the 329 yet? My A229 is a steaming pile of crap. It does NOT handle the Florida heat at all. Constant shutdowns while driving and parked have rendered it absolutely useless. Viofo's solution? Kick it down to 1080 / 2k and hope works. It did not. The camera is seriously flawed.
r/Dashcam • VIOFO A329 TESTING AND REVIEW ->Viofo is my go-to. I've installed a119, a229, and a129. App is a little wonky sometimes but great picture and audio.
r/FordBronco • Dash cams? ->For dashcam, i would recommend either Viofo or Ventrue. Make sure you get the ones with Sony Starvis2 sensor so you can capture the license plate numbers. Hot wire kit is a must of you want constant power and a clean installation
r/crv • Dashcam and weather mats recommendation for 2025 crv ->For dashcam, i would recommend either Viofo or Ventrue. Make sure you get the ones with Sony Starvis2 sensor so you can capture the license plate numbers. Hot wire kit is a must of you want constant power and a clean installation
r/crv • Dashcam and weather mats recommendation for 2025 crv ->For the dashcam I would do the VIOFO A229. I have the blackview 4k and I dont care for it. The app is not very good and you have to use the app to point the camera as there is no screen on the camera itself (ie. always tied to the app unless you want to take out the memory card each time to verify where the camera is pointing.
r/crv • Dashcam and weather mats recommendation for 2025 crv ->Viofo A229 for two years and I am happy.
r/SubaruForester • What Dashcams are y’all using on your 25 Foresters? ->I have VIOFO front and rear cam, had it three years without any problems
r/CarTalkUK • Dashcams ->I've ran several viofos with no problems. Currently run a A119 V3. No problem easy install. Been running them for years. Usually if something is wrong, its the sd card.
r/ram_trucks • Any opinions on a good dash cam? ->I second this as well. They also have sales often.
r/arizona • Dashcam recommendations? ->I installed VIOFO A229 plus front+rear today. It has a Starvis 2 sensor with 2k HDR for front. Hope it’s good 😛.
r/SubaruForester • Front and rear dashcam Recommendations ->I use a viofo A229 front and rear camera, thought about getting the interior camera but I didn't. Pretty easy to setup yourself and video quality is pretty good.
r/orlando • Dash cams ->Second this, the a229 is a great cam. And it routinely goes on sale.
r/Volvo • Dash cam that doesn't break the bank ->My exact setup as well.
r/radardetectors • Best radar detector with dash cam in 2024? ->Viofo A229. I got a fast 64g mini sd card for it. Front only. I wired a 12vdc-5v usb little box, into existing wires when I pulled the glasses & two lights compartment out. Lots of harnesses there. So the usb box is hidden in roof. Viofo usb cable connects to it. I bought from Amazon the converter box and a bunch of various male Toyota harnesses that end in wires. Took pics of the females that give power. One I got was for powered rear view mirror. Use a tester to find more than one live wire when car is on, and can power the converter and camera. One was just a signal +12v not enough power, another was fine. Camera has a capacitor to power save memory to the card when you turn off the car. This was like a 2 hour job taking my time. 3/10 difficulty.
r/rav4club • For those who have Dash Cams in your RAV4 Hybrid ->Viofo A229 is a great cam so is the Thinkware U3000
r/KiaTelluride • Dashcam for the 2025 KIA Telluride SX Prestige ->Viofo a229 plus $169.99 over the holidays Plus whatever cost of polirizing filter, sd card and hardwire kit. I think i spent like $220 for everything or less $150 to install both front and back with hardwire kit. Very clean install The shop got it done in less than an hour………..
r/Lexus • Need recommendations on factory versus cheap dash camera ->I've had the Viofo 229 a year and it's been great.
r/Dashcam • Dash cam recommendations ->I just installed my A229 2-channel cameras yesterday, I highly recommend using the ASC connector that you can buy off of Hachi Electronics. Makes it so much easier to hardwire than messing around with the fusebox.
r/GR86 • Dash cams ->Yup, it's been great so far. I need to find a slightly more elegant way to route the cable for the rear camera, given that it's way too long for the tiny 86 interior. I currently have most of it coiled and shoved inside the right rear C-pillar trim panel (which is a great place for it, I just need to clean it up so the panel can actually close).
r/GR86 • Dash cams ->Tbh your supercapacitor sealed the deal. You should advertise that more for this region as overheating is a huge problem here. Some customers might not understand how important that is
r/DubaiPetrolHeads • Dashcam 101 with VIOFO ->Hello, do you have a suggested retailer? I would like to buy 2 more 229 dashcam with rear cameras. I liked the one I have so much I want to get two more for two other cars. Unfortunately it seems to be sold out on Amazon. Let me know please
r/DubaiPetrolHeads • Dashcam 101 with VIOFO ->VIOFO A229 is my vote I have the pro with 3 channel
r/dashcams • Best dash cam - no budget ->The camera records to a micro sd card that is installed in the main camera module. Footage from all cameras is stored on the card. To access the footage your camera creates a wifi hotspot that your phone connects to in order to facilitate the data transfer. This model uses 5 ghz network which is considerably faster than previous 2.4 ghz models I have used. Normally I used pop the card in my computer and copy all the files for easier processing but if you need a quick copy to share in the moment then wifi transfer allows for this. The wifi connection also allows you to remote view the cameras. I don’t want to type a bunch of unnecessary info so just ask me questions if you’re curious. I’ve had 2 different cams in 2 different cars so I’m pretty well versed in the space
r/dashcams • Best dash cam - no budget ->Viofo A229 is what I use. Very well documented to be one of the best options out there for the price. You will want a dashcam that has a capacitor rather than an internal battery. The capacitor is what can stand the Arizona summers.
r/arizona • Dashcam recommendations? ->Viofo is the way. I have an A229 and a few weeks ago got side swiped. Had to chase the guy. His word against mine. Dashcam is the only reason my car is getting fixed. The A229 streams easily to my iPhone, much easier than my older A129. So, older cam got put in car that isn’t used as much, and new A229s live in the household’s daily drivers.
r/Costco • Anyone have the Atomi dash cam or done any research on it? ->Hey, just a heads up, this post is from four months back. I ended up going with the Viofo 229.
r/Dashcam • [deleted by user] ->1 min loop? That sucks. I dodge that brand.
r/Dashcam • [deleted by user] ->It's great "set it and forget it" dashcam, hardwired it myself. It runs smooth, I set an automatic SD card formatting reminder every three months to keep everything working properly. Just make sure to use the recommended SD card it's in their website.
r/Dashcam • [deleted by user] ->VIOFO is a really popular brand. The front-rear one I installed in my cars have caught some interesting parked moments. The cameras look like TEMU junk but they are not. They work really well and are well respected among car enthusiasts.
r/AMG • Do any of you all use dash cams to help protect your car while parked? ->For what it’s worth i have ZERO car experience and I got the viofo front and rear cam and used the donggar adapter to power it off the rain sensor behind the rear view mirror. I watched maybe 2 tutorials, went slow, and was able to get everything in place in well under an hour with no issues. The biggest hurdle was getting the wired connection from the front camera to the rear one so you could just skip the rear facing one for even less hassle. Highly recommend, super easy to do.
r/Lexus • Wireless dash cam ->Viofo a229 or anything with a super capacitor that is in your price range - those have worked fine in the Texas heat for years.
r/Austin • Acquaintance unalived in road rage incident ->I’m putting a vioro a229 in mine. There’s a super helpful video walkthrough on YouTube of a guy hardwiring one and installing it into his crosstrek. I’m pretty much copying his exact steps, makes it easier for me lol.
r/Crosstrek • Subaru compatible dash cams? ->Real question is how can we tap into the 360 cameras and record that? That would be so much better than an external. But I also have the Viofo a229. Works great.
r/chevycolorado • Dash cam recommendation ->
