"the Viofo A329 is probably the best on market at the moment when it comes to video/image quality"
"It can actually make out plates at night and inclement weather with some degree of clarity."
"Picture quality is the best I've had"

"it can record to an external SSD. ... No more fumbling with those tiny cards; no more microSD file corruption."
"IT SUPPORTS SSD's! ... I have several older SSD's that I will use for the task ... I think takes up to 4TB"
"That ’s why I jumped to the A329 with SSD support. ... It rocks."

"I can set it up a little over kill with a 4 tb ssd, a 512 sd card, and a battery backup hardwired, so when I park it 8 or 10 hours a day it will remain in parking / sentry mode and not kill my battery or record over itself."
"Using a fuse tap kit I hardwired it to a fuse that's only hot when the truck is on, but it has a separate connection that's always hot and provides constant power. So when it senses that the truck is on it records consistently. When it senses that the truck is off it goes into a monitoring mode that will only record when there's motion detected or the gyro is triggered. ... It has a battery monitor that senses the battery's voltage and will disable monitoring mode if the battery voltage gets too low. ... Works perfectly."
"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"

"I'm almost certainly gonna go with the A329. I just learned that the 70mai A810 uses a battery and not a capacitor. Batteries are terrible for dash cams due to how hot the inside of a car gets in the summer here."

"4K 60 fps + 2K 30 fps is just too much data for a MicroSD, even one with 100 MB/s write speed. ... Mine regularly flashes “Slow Card” and drops to 4K 30 fps. ... It begins continuously recording when the car stars, as expected, but in 4K 30 fps about 75% of the times I start my car rather than 4K 60 fps. ... I suspect that this is a combination of 4K 60fps overwhelming the microSD (in terms of write speed) and a bug that prevents recording from being manually stopped after the logic for the “slow card” error cuts the frame rate to 30 fps. ... The SSD prevents the “slow card” error altogether. I get the “slow card” error even while I’m driving, so I don’t think this issue is isolated to parking mode."
"He got the A329 and had to route wires all again since the factory dashcams wirings were using proprietary connections and not rated for 4K60fps transfers."
"EDID is super finicky with this thing, and I will occasionally have to drop to 4K 30fps just to get it to display picture rather than static. ... The HDMI out hates the picture-in-picture, so you have to set the display to front or rear only."

"but it’s a brand new model so it’s more expensive."

"I do use the A329 in two channel mode but it has intermittent issues with my Kingston external SSD, Viofo has had to backtrack on its claims of compatibility with SSD enclosures - it's been a mess."

"Don't rely on parking mode though, as it takes forever to turn on when set for impact detection only."

"it induces enough noise to reduce the range of my push-to-start to <12.”"
