Bought the Viofo A229 Ultra (4K front and rear) in November because it had good reviews, the quality is great, looking forward to seeing how it is in the summer. Paid $100 to get it installed at Best Buy, so if you don’t want wires everywhere, highly recommend that. I was out after an hour.
Viofo a229 4k front and rear and backup a129 pro front only in Octavia vrs.
A229 ultra, 4k front and rear. A329 is pricier and gives you 60 frames per second but you don’t get 4k on the rear. I have tried both and personally prefer the higher resolution for the rear as it makes number plates easier to read
Viofo A229 ultra gives you front and rear 4k. I'm running the A129 pro duo which is 4k front and 1080p rear. It also has parking mode if you hardwire it so then it can record any incidents that might happen while your car is off (it will stop drawing power when your battery drops below a threshold as to not drain it)
https://youtu.be/uLjGazIxjEA?si=P7sXE79SCnT-mwsY I personally bought and installed the VIOFO A229 Ultra. Do not cheap out make sure the camera has STARVIS 2 I chose the A229 Ultra because both front and rear has starvis 2
I have had the Viofo A229 Ultra for 3 years now and it handles GREAT in the summers.
I have a viofo front & rear with the polarising filter on both. Still images are excellent. Video is decent quality in most scenarios. 4k front, 2k rear. Gets readable registration numbers from about 10m away or so pretty reliably. Further away is more hit and miss. Regardless what you get, you won't always get crystal clear footage. Settings can make a difference - HDR during the day reduces image quality, a higher bitrate can increase quality (but uses more memory), higher fps gives more bites of the cherry for getting a usable still, but also uses more memory in the process. Overall, I'd recommend the Viofo, but wouldn't say it's exceptional.
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
I've had mine for half a year. Works great so far
My VIOFO A119 has lasted more than 5 years in Texas weather. (+120° to 0°). I recently upgraded to the A229 and I'm sure it will hold up just as well.
Im 46. I have the VIOFO A229 DUO. It is pretty much plug and play. I installed it set the settings and haven't had to mess with it.
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.
You can’t go wrong with Viofo. I had the A229 duo and it’s great. Excellent video quality, easy to use, and reliable.
