I 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

I'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

Viofo 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

Viofo, 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.

Anything from VIOFO that suits your needs. A229 plus is great for front and rear. Get the hardwire kit too.

Viofo A229 plus. Bought on Ali Express, fixed locally. Connected with the battery for parking mode. Works fine.

I'm late 50's and I like my Viofo A229 plus just fine.

That's assuming they can do things like turn on wifi on the camera and connect their phone to the camera's wifi network to download video and adjust settings.

If you don't need 2 or 4k, the viofo A229 plus is a good choice for little money. It has a sensor that's really good at night, but may not have enough resolution to get license plates in all situations Use a hardwire kit and I'd also recommend switching to a [better AGM dual purpose battery ](https://www.batteriesplus.com/product-details/auto_light-truck/battery/x2power/sli35agmdp) if you intend to keep it on while parked
