"Picture quality is the best I've had"
"the Viofo A329 is probably the best on market at the moment when it comes to video/image quality"
"World’s First 4K60fps Dashcam ... if you want the best of the best."

"For me the SSD is a major win on capacity and durability alone. ... The max supported capacity is 8x over max microSD. ... SSDs are designed for more write cycles, they have better wear leveling, and they tolerate heat better, so better durability. ... And if you frequently offload your video, as I do, the speed increase is wonderful. ... SSDs, on the other hand, almost all handle heat well. ... I know in my laptop, mine often run up to 70C without problem (they all have thermal throttling). In a car in the summer temps will get near that (at least here in Texas), but that’s ambient heat vs internally generated heat, which I believe the SSD should handle well. ... The point is that you should be able to get away with a cheaper SSD, whereas you don’t dare go cheap on microSD. ... Real-world examples: the Viofo Industrial 256 GB microSD card is $64 on Amazon. A Samsung 1TB 990 EVO is $70. You do the math."
"IT SUPPORTS SSD's! ... I have several older SSD's that I will use for the task ... I think takes up to 4TB"
"it can record to an external SSD. ... No more fumbling with those tiny cards; no more microSD file corruption."

"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."
"the dashcam I've had for 6 years...only changed the SD card."
"My viofo dual front and rear cam has withstood years. ... Just got a new cable and works perfectly. ... I vote viofo if you want a quality cam."

"It can actually make out plates at night and inclement weather with some degree of clarity."
"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."

"Despite the VIOFO app having bad reviews it’s seriously improved since the app updates. ... Not encountered any issues."
"the mobile app works well (and the wifi mode is super fast)"
"No problem easy install."

"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."

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

"Upgrading from A129 pro to either of the above would require rewiring entirely. This unit uses the HK3 and Mini usb rear camera connection. ... Unfortunately, there is no saving pennies here. Thr a129 rear cam won't work with the a229 or a329."
"From a consumer perspective, keeping it USB-C would be an easy upgrade for those coming from the A229 Plus/Pro family of cameras. ... The A329 IS COAXIAL."
"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."

"No 3 channel support"
"This particular camera will only record in 60FPS without HDR. ... You will need to use timed HDR if you want to use 60FPS. With HDR you won't get 60fps. 30fps with hard on at night is preferred."
"it's limited to only 2-channels at the moment."
