"The picture quality day or night is fantastic."
"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."
"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."

"I wanted a better chance of it surviving the florida heat here, so I just picked up a Viofo a229 plus instead."
"those have worked fine in the Texas heat for years."

"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."
"The Viofos were easy to install ... my then 16-year-old daughter was able to do it herself."
"Not at all OEM looking, but with with the predrilled holes in the headliner, and adapter to piggyback off the mirror power, Its still pretty clean."

"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."
"The mirror power is not on when the car is off, so the dashcam will also be unpowered when the car is off, so no recording when parked if u use the mirror power."

nfslink 1.0I bought the viofo A229 Plus 1 channel and it’s working great with my cx30 GS, plug it in the usb A port and no issues. Decide to save some time and money and didn’t buy the rear camera. https://preview.redd.it/atytfdt02u0g1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ac9bb70645c7cb02320392cf5fe9ef7c21f9ed0
Dstokes129 0.2I’ve got the A229 Plus. Was like $200 and I did the installation myself.
I have a 1 minute overlay set on mine, so I can get my videos transferred over in maybe 15-20 seconds each. Not terrible, but honestly I’m kind of glad I got it cause taking the SD card out and in fucking sucks in my opinion. I try to do it as little as possible.
FishcakeFriends 0.2The A229 Pro supports up to 512GB but you need to either get Viofo's Industrial card or specifically Sandisk Max Endurance (NOT high endurance). Viofo specifically points this out on their website. The storage is the main reason I went for the A229 Plus over the Pro (2k vs 4k resolution). The image on the Pro was a bit better but not enough for me to justify twice the storage required for the same time. The 4K cameras usually requires more power for processing and generates a bit more heat, which might be what you were seeing with hitting the battery voltage cutoff. And I agree, the Viofo app is pretty bad, and the company acknowledges it too. Its been improved from previous iterations so check if theres an update, but its just "usable" at best.
Ali-Saurus 0.2I've been using a Viofo A229 Plus with a dongar power adapter to tie it into the mirror power cable and I'm very happy with the cam and ease of installation with the adapter
aprilsjinchuriki 0.2Viofo a229 plus if you live in a really hot area, Pro if you don’t need “ extra heat protection “ , they’re on SALE rn They have front and back cam, parking mode is iffy from heat I hear depending on how u have it set I’ve had mine for a year almost and I’ve had no issues, i love it and have caught crazy moments
archinich 0.2Viofo A229 plus with the hachielectronics hardwire kit. https://hachielectronics.com/products/2022-gr86-brz-pnp-dashcam-hardwire-harness
atomxv 0.2viofo 229 plus. purchased during prime week. install was easy and I am happy with it for the 1.5 weeks i've used it.
avendruscolo 0.2Viofo, hanno anche un buon servizio clienti. In generale consiglio di fare un giro sul forum di dashcamtalk (occhio rischi di uscire con più dubbi di prima). Comunque “buono” ed “economico” fai fatica a farli stare bene assieme. Io per me ho preso una Viofo 329S che ho trovato un’ottima offerta sull’usato. Per mia moglie una Viofo A229 plus. Le ho pagate quasi lo stesso prezzo. Ti suggerirei di puntare su qualcosa che abbia il sensore starvis 2. Registrazione 2k è più che sufficiente.
Babitzo 0.2Anything from VIOFO that suits your needs. A229 plus is great for front and rear. Get the hardwire kit too.
Background-Owl-6216 0.2Viofo A229 plus. Bought on Ali Express, fixed locally. Connected with the battery for parking mode. Works fine.
