VIOFO - A329T 3CH

A dashcam won't capture the moment when time stopped and you were sucked into the alien spaceship through the window.... As an aside I bought and will install a Viofo 329T [Best Dashcam of 2025](https://youtu.be/cTXR4axR5Os?si=Su9D2EEz0X8SOVoh)

VIOFO A329T. It has Starvis 2 sensors and a telephoto lens in the front which increases the chances you'll actually be able to capture a license plate. It does not have a cabin-facing camera, though Viofo does offer variations of the A329 if you prefer that over the telephoto lens capability. The downside is they are pricey. 4K in the front (wide), 2K telephoto, 2K rear. Whichever dashcam you end up getting, I highly recommend you get one with Starvis 2 camera sensors. Older cameras really are not worth your time or money.

The A229S / A329T is way better than the original A329 from last year. Different chip set, upgraded thermal cooling, better sensors, more bells and whistles. I think I you’ll like it. Get the new HK6 hardwire Check out the vortex radar YouTube channel A329S reviews

I just got the A329T (Telephoto), as i need a separate camera for the rear on my car. I'm amazed how good it is, and how much of a step upfrom my previous A129 Pro.

Do your research. I did mine several years ago and went with VIOFO. I agree with the Project Farm link, he does a very good comparison, I was glad to see the brand that I originally researched and went with was still the best all around choice. I have 3 VIOFO cameras (119, 229, 229 Duo) setups with a 4th one (329 3-way) in transit as I type this. Not only have they been super reliable and provide the best resolution possible, but they run off a super capacitor (vs battery) so they tolerate the heat (thus adding to the reliability. Depends on what you want it to do. I just ordered the 329 3-way setup for my daughter that just recently started driving and I wanted to be as thorough as possible (night/day, outside/inside, front/back/sides) so she is protected from a "your word against theirs" type situation. I've seen too many YouTube videos where having a single camera wasn't enough, or an officer claiming a driver was on their phone when they were just eating a sandwich, etc. In the long run, a dashcam can pay for itself 1000x over if, heaven forbid, something happens on the road. It would suck to trade quality, reliability, and picture quality for a few bucks. This is just my opinion and experience.

Viofo A329 front and rear facing. Combo with a sandisk max enduramce 256GB micro SD. Do not use a different microSD card. Dash cameras are very hard on the card and this one is meant specifically for this us usage and warranty for it. 369 on blackboxmycar I would suggest reformatting a.k.a. wiping the card every two months If you need a more value days cam. The A139 pro duo is 199 for front and rear facing. Front is 2k and rear 1080P. the sale price is viofo own website. I’d link them for you but subs frowns upon helpful links

Usually these factory ports on the car are not compatible with most aftermarket dashcams. We had a customer with a BYD Song Plus and this car has a working in-built dashcam in the Chinese spec version but GCC version doesn’t come with it - only the connections. 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. We’ve got great options for dashcams and trusted by many DPH members. Sony Starvis 2 Sensors, Night Vision 2.0, HDR, Super-capacitor battery - our dashcams come with it all. Check us out on Amazon and go through the [101 Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/DubaiPetrolHeads/s/inLIDWMkcW) and you’ll know what to look out for. Feel free to DM for any questions.

I have three of these and one of the newer a329 cameras, all with the hardwire kit. It's the only brand I'll use and i've had no problems with them.

I selected the 329 since it supports external USB storage on an SSD. The picture quality is great since it came with a polarizing filter. they're both good but I can see car tags better with the 329.

I love this brand. I have yet to see anyone else with such good quality. I have the 129, 229 and the recent 329 version in my truck. No issues at all. Money well spent.

My thought as well. The SD card must be the higher-quality Extreme or Industrial use. You may experience irratic behaviors that are unexplainable in some cases. The lower quality SD cards can be more exposed to vibration while writing to the card. The speed on the higher quality are much faster, ~190 Mbs per second enabling writing your video clips to the SD less read/write errors or video loss. The lower quality SD card writes about ~100Mbs per second also half the speed of the higher end. I have owned Viofo for at least ten years and have not been disappointed. The continue to add features or benefits to their product mix. I have undated the firmware to the latest version. Like any technology updating your firmware that is recommended by the OEM is key to any satisfaction. The A229 and 329 dash cams have very fast video and snapshot photos or parking mode. THIS would probably explain your to slow message when it reads the card or formats the card it sees a low speed transfer or read/write. Anyways, Best dash cam I have used.

Kind of depends on your budget and what time of features you want. I got the Viofo A329, but it’s a brand new model so it’s more expensive. But you can check out the recommendations here. https://dashcamtalk.com

If you just want a good front dashcam, the Viofo A119 v3 will fit the bill. I put the A329 in because I wanted the better image quality and rear camera. Was worth the extra shekels. Buy once, cry once, if you can budget a bit more. Whatever you get, make sure you get a high or max endurance microSD card.

I have had the Viofo A329 for about 10 months as my first dash cam. Very reliable product so far. I don't think you will go wrong with either of those.

I've Viofo A329. I liked that one as that's the only one that supports SSD storage which is better than memory cards.

Viofo A329 or A229 Pro, those are the only decent dashcams I know where you can get a half decent footage and legible license plates.

I use Viofo A129 on my cars. It’s top-rated for a reason - good price, 4K video recording, wifi connectivity, capacitor-powered (instead of batteries that bloat and degrade in heat), front and rear cameras. Newest model is now the A329.

If you judge "best" by most integrated features and system from one manufacturer, I'd say it would be the BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE PlusDR970X-2CH LTE Plus with their extended use battery pack and data plan. It has the new(ish) Starvis 2 4K sensor for its front camera, so is among the best in PQ and if you subscribe to a monthly BlackVue plan you can access the camera at all times. because it has its own cellular connection. [https://blackvue.com/product/dr970x-2ch-lte-plus-na/](https://blackvue.com/product/dr970x-2ch-lte-plus-na/) [https://blackvue.com/product/blackvue-ultra-battery-b-130a/](https://blackvue.com/product/blackvue-ultra-battery-b-130a/) [https://blackvue.com/sim-card/](https://blackvue.com/sim-card/) It's too pricey for my budget and has features that I don't require, so I personally chose a Viofo A229 Pro about 1 1/2 years ago. Today, I'd probably go for the Viofo A329.

For sure A329 is better than A229 Plus. If you have the money go for it.

I'm looking at replacements now and the A810 is one of my final contenders. I was planning to hardwire it, but I'm a little worried about it since their basic hardwire kit has shut off voltage options of only 11.6 or 12.0, both of which are too low. With all the 12v issues on the EV6 that makes me a little nervous. It also apparently only buffers 2 seconds of video in an event recording which is pretty short. The video samples online are really good though, firmware is published regularly and publicly (unlike fitcamX), and the price can't be beat (it's $139 right now). I think for me it's between that or the VIOFO A329. A329 is way more expensive, but has better rear cam quality and draws less power in parking mode (and hardwire kit has better voltage cutoff options). I ran A119v3 for years as front and back cameras with no problems but I sold them with the old car when I bought the EV6. Our secondary car has an A119S that's still working well too. The new A329 has some questionable reviews though so I may just go with the 70mai.

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. 70mai apparently has a new X800/Omni 4k that has a capacitor, but it's not obtainable anywhere at this time and I want a dash cam now.

For the price, there’s much better out there. You can buy a VIOFO A329 for around the same price and that is a 4K camera with a Sony Starvis 2 sensor (the Toyota dash cam is only 1080p). Since the Sienna has a 12V plug pre-wired and hole already cut out in the headliner, running power to an aftermarket dash cam couldn’t be easier.

Now that the A329 is out, I'd recommend it over the A229 Plus or Pro. It's more expensive, but is an overall better camera. For me the killer feature is it can record to an external SSD. No more fumbling with those tiny cards; no more microSD file corruption.

I was very happy with my A229 Pro, except for having to deal with those tiny (in two senses) microSD cards. That’s why I jumped to the A329 with SSD support. It rocks. Still a few bugs but nothing bad.

Dashcams tend to be sensitive to the type of micro SD card you put in them. Viofo recommends only a couple of different types of card for their dashcams. So there's many reasons why that reviewer's dashcam didn't capture his daughter's curb hit. I have used the Viofo A229 as well as the newer A329; both are excellent cameras. Good build quality, nice features, and highly configurable. I've had mine installed throughout two brutal Houston summers (my G70 lives outdoors) and it has survived without problem. I prefer the A329 because it can record to an SSD, which I prefer for several reasons. Good camera -- I recommend it.

Get something like the Viofo A329, which has a mount that sticks to your windshield then the cam snaps to the mount. Good camera too.

I'm considering this because of the form factor, I like the idea of having both a digital; rear view mirror as well as an interactive touch screen right there to easily manage things is great,. But I also don't feel; great about their parking mode compared to say the Thinkware 3000 buffered parking mode. My priority is parking mode over all else, as I want to see what is happening to my car when I find a dent in the door or other damage. I don't like thinkware in other res\[pects but it definitely seems to have a superior buffered parking mode. So,. my focus has been mostly on that. I actually wrote to Wolfbox a few times asking them please consider adding a better buffered parking mode sentry unit, I doubt they will but I asked because I like everything else about it. I think I am going to get the Viofo A329 because it is really good in all areas, and 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. I've got to look at thinkware once more to remind myself what was weak, I forget.

None of these cameras had a Sony Starvis 2 sensor, yet if you pay a little extra, you can step up to the newer version of the Viofo A119, the A119 Mini2 which does, and which would beat the Viofo A119 V3 that won this test in the same way that the V3 beat most of the competition! Having stepped up to current generation Sony Starvis 2, you can then step up to the 4K version, which is another significant step, and then you get a bit stuck on image quality and going for a far more expensive Blackvue or Thinkware is currently a step down in image quality relative to the 4K Viofo A229 Pro, only reason you would take that step is to get cloud access to your parked car, but that is an expensive choice, both in cash and in license plate readability. Best image quality currently is the Viofo A329 series, which not only has Sony Starvis 2 sensors, but has also moved to the next generation of processors, which is bringing quite a few advantages.

I went viofo a329. 3ch, including interior infrared fisheye and rear waterproof mounted underneath the "spoiler". It was between this or the wolf box. I am very happy with this setup. I just wish I could do the 60fps with 3ch like they falsely advertised I could do on launch day.

I'm very happy with my Viofo A329.

Have had good luck with Viofo. Currently rocking a 329 but thinking about swapping to the three channel.

FitcamX is nice because of the fit, but something like a Thinkware U3000 or Viofo a329 is going to capture better video. I am getting the A329. I don’t plan on doing any monitoring during parking, but it’s compatible with battery packs if you want that feature. It would probably be easy to run the wiring down the passenger A pillar and to the fuse box the secure the battery down there somewhere.

Look up safe drive solution, they will actually come to your house and install it in your driveway for you. Here's what I wrote into he past to someone else asking about dashcams and installation shops. I got the Video A329. Or whatever the top of the line 4K one is, I can't remember it now. "Honestly it was a great price, I paid $846.37 total. But it came with the VIOFO A329 with the rear camera, a 128/256gtb memory card can't remember) it was also set up with parking mode so its professionally installed to my fusebox under the steering wheel. Along with all cables hidden and zip tied so the only cable you see is the 1-2" coming from the rearview mirror area. All in all, with the additional accessories, you only really pay about $130 for the install cost. If you price the rest of the items separately, you pay about $717 (according to Viofos website, added accessories and free shipping). Plus Ted sat down with me, set up the camera and showed me how to use it etc."

Look up the YouTube videos by SafeDriveSolutions. I'm located in Canada and I had them professionally install my dashcam (Viofo A329) and I haven't had a single issue with it. I went for the one with 4K60fps recording just to get the top of the line dashcam with my new RAV4 See in Cavalry Blue (too!). It has both front and rear dash cams, along with parking mode.

Honestly it was a great price, I paid $846.37 total. But it came with the VIOFO A329 with the rear camera, a 128/256gb memory card (I can't remember) it was also set up with parking mode so it's professionally installed to my fusebox under the steering wheel.

If you price the rest of the items separately, you pay about $717 (according to Viofos website, added accessories and free shipping). Plus Ted sat down with me, set up the camera and showed me how to use it etc. Trust me, I watch the installation and I would have had 0 idea how to take apart the parts that Ted did and I'm glad I paid for it. Edit: Not sure why I'm being down voted for my answer, I did my research before going with them.

Viofo A329 is what im running Ning currently can hardwire or plug and play. Just have to buy their hardwire kit if thats the route. Its pretty straight forward

I got the same one it's good

I put the one that came with what I ordered (had to pay extra) '...VIOFO Industrial Grade microSD Card, U3 A2 V30 High Speed Memory Card with Adapter, 64GB / 128GB / 256GB / 512GB Optional...' I only got the 128 mb because: IT SUPPORTS SSD's!. Havent installed one yet but I have several older SSD's that I will use for the task (I have installed the dash cam and hardwire kit, just havent determined best place for ssd

VIOFO A329 that Best Buy installed on my X5 for $99. Clean install too, running the rear through the rubber tubes, etc. $900 for everything is crazy. And I’m Bay Area so VHCOL.

The A810 Plus definitely has a supercap, and looks to be solid as anything. 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. A119 V3 I've still got one in the drawer that was my daily for a couple of years, it can't be beaten in the Australian heat here and for it's video quality. Vantrue has caught up a lot in terms of their app and image quality, I would go for E1 Pro which seems to be the pick for a cheap 4k single unit solution. The e360 is a bit out of an outlier as they're trying something new - they have had their doozies like the s1 pro which was quickly replaced by the N2X which was way way better. To be honest, it's a three way battle between Viofo 70mai and Vantrue now. Totally understand the convenience of the Wolfbox and the form factor , it definitely has it's use cases and I can't fault that in the slightest. Wolfbox seem to be getting their game together now which is good. I agree with you on the x800, it seems like that's what the issue is. Shame really but what can you do. To be honest the a810 plus seems to be the safer buy even if the cabin is a crappy 1080p only. YouTube reviewers don't mention these issues not a single one mentioned it for the x800 even though they would have the Dec and January batch units that had the issues.

Viofo A329. Video, both front and rear, is of excellent quality. There are also a lot of options so you can configure it the way you want it.

I second this one. Have the Viofo a229 plus in my wife's car and it works great and provides excellent video. I picked up the A329 and will be installing that in my truck soon. Another thread pointed out that they have an external camera that you could mount to the back of your truck, the website says it works for the A229, but it appears the A329 has the same ports, so I would think it works for the A329 as well. I may pick it up and see one of these days, but I like the idea of the rear camera being able to look after my truck bed with the internal mounted rear camera.

Viofo A329 is what I got for mine

The Viofo series can store to an external hard drive. I have the A329 and tested it to see how well it works and it works great.

The more features, the more complex the installation. I will be installing the Viofo **A329** in my Cayman when I get a chance. I've hard wired 2 other cars and viofo's/radar and it just takes patience. I've already pre-wired the Cayman with a mirror tap. You will find the best information from Vortex Radar on Youtube or [vortexradar.com](http://vortexradar.com)

Viofo A329. Anything with the Starvis 2 chip set will actually be able to read plates.

I process accidents for a living. Trust me on this pick. The expensive Garmins and other "premium" brands use older chips to save money. So they don't work as well where it counts, being able to read plates.

I have the u3000 and the viofo a329 (almost the same as 229). The thinkware has a better experience and probably more reliable and far better parking mode, the viofo has a worse but still usable parking mode and better night time video quality as it has HDR. The thinkware, while you can see a lot, is blown out so bad you can't make any license plates or signs out. Exactly like what you said. I personally prefer being able to see important details, and the viofo does a far better job at it. I run the viofo, and it's been working very well so far. I would go with the viofo since I care about image quality, but if you want the best of the best parking mode, thinkware is the leader.

Dongar adapters make it super easy if you have an auto dimming mirror. I went with the Viofo 329 cam. Good luck!

I have a Viofo A329 but i would recommend any viofo

Just got a Viofo A329. Best I've had so far. It can actually make out plates at night and inclement weather with some degree of clarity.

I've recently just got Viofo A329 on the Renault. My other car has Vantrue and Thinkware. The Viofo just edges out the Vantrue for night time number plates legibility at speed. I've had Blackvue before and was not impressed with night time performance where it counts.

I bought the VIOFO A329 - the upgraded version of the other one recommended here. It was relatively easy to install, I did it myself and I’m very happy with how it came out. The footage it great and very convenient to use. I bought the button accessory and mounted the button by my mirror adjustments.

Went with an a329 viofo, works perfectly and the number plates are a lot clearer, my prior 770 blackvue that kept blurring plates, got autobarn to install and it was seamless, brilliant dash cam

Get Viofo brand. Mines a229 plus, its amazing you can buy more better ones like a329 but quite expensive

You need to specify what you are looking for in a dash cam so other's can recommend the overall best one for YOU. Like the Viofo A329 is probably the best on market at the moment when it comes to video/image quality but it's limited to only 2-channels at the moment. Then there's the Thinkware U3000 that's likely still tops in the parking mode field for it's use of radar. So an "overall best" dash cam is subjective and will depend on one's needs, and wants.

After lots of research, I also went with the Viofo. Project Farm on YouTube has a good comparison video. I'm using the A229 Plus: it has two 1440p cameras and uses the Starvis 2 sensors. The A329 has 4k cameras but was over budget for me.

Viofo A229. A329 is coming out if you want the latest and greatest. Get the hardwire kit also, allows you to wire to the fusebox.

I've had a few, just got a Viofo A329 and it's leagues above the rest.

Picture quality is the best I've had, the mobile app works well (and the wifi mode is super fast), menu options are plentiful, and overall really good fit & finish. It feels like a thoughtfully designed and executed product, which really stands out in today's world full of half-assed products that over promise and under deliver.

Get a VIOFO something. a229, a329 It will have a better pic than the Toyota brand. There's newer and better is what I'm saying. You can put it up on the windshield behind the the RVM (or next to).

Sorry to resurrect what is now quite an old thread but I have some updates: Porsche say that they do in fact only offer a front facing dash cam. They offered to install it but I hate to imagine what they would have charged. I don’t recall any mention of prewiring the car for a dash cam when I was speccing it out in June. Otherwise I would’ve gone for it. Porsche say that if you hardwire a 3rd party dash cam it will void the warranty on the electrics (interesting…) Also has anyone actually hardwired a dash cam into a Cayman themselves? Looks like I’m going to have to do it my self as Porsche also refused to do it unless it was for their own product! Oh and I bought the viofo a329 based on the recommendations received here 🙏

3 channel viofo Also protects against wrongful accusations from future girls in car

I have viofo 3 channel with dongar pro

As an insurance agent, I think EVERYONE should have a dashcam. Preferably one with front and rear facing cameras. There are some great 4k cameras out there with Bluetooth capabilities. Viofo has some great cameras that get amazing reviews, but they are expensive. For more budget conscious individuals REDTIGER F7NP is a great option as well that has wireless, but it’s not Bluetooth. We have them installed on all of our vehicles.

Most important thing when it comes to dashcams is image quality, particularly at night. The fitcam sucks Get a viofo or some other high quality, true 4k hdr cam instead. You can get a mirror connector adapter for power.

Viofo is what I run, you basically want a camera with the Starvis2 sensor and ideally the 4k version.

Very happy with my Viofo excellent low light 4k

Viofo 4k, love them and keep upgrading on all 3 cars in the fam

Viofo 4K, with or without hardwire kit.

There's also viofo 4k If you run from usb or lighter socket then there isn't a issue. When you hardwire it for parking mode there is a hardwire kit that'll automatically cut off power if the battery goes below a set voltage In any case these cameras should not take more than a few hundred milliamps when operational. 5amp can run like 4 of these camera

Just bought VIOFO front and rear for my truck.

I have a VIOFO front and back cam. It records every time I take off or push the remote. I do t think they are crazy expensive and the quality it good

Also a fan of Viofo. Been working great since I installed it just over a year ago. 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've had good luck with the viofo dash cams over the years. Some of the more expensive viofos have the Starvis 2 sensor, which does get a slightly better image (which might help if you are reading a license plate). Buy a really good high-endurance SD card, no matter what you buy And if you are ever in a collision, read the plate out loud so the mic can pick it up. Just in case the camera doesn't quite pick it up.

Screw it looking oe. What you really want is a good camera. Viofo makes some of the better ones WITH a rear camera as well. After doing lots of research, lots of them use garbage cameras but the better ones use Sony. Specifically the Song Starvis. The Starvis 2 just recently came out and viofo made a new one with the 2. Good cam, doesn't look ugly. Supports parking recording and collision detection. [viofo Amazon ](https://a.co/d/izrOa1d)

VIOFO. Whatever brand get one utilizing Starvis 2 sensor and that has HDR. Seen alot of recommendations for Dongar adapter for clean install into mirror.

Just when I think I have a good answer, someone comes up with a better answer. The hardwire kit looks great, definitely going to get that for my viofo. For others that are shopping, 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.

Looked into the Fitcam and VIOFO. The sample footage Fitcam support sent wasn't promising, so I went with the newer VIOFO using Starvis 2 image sensors. Doesn't really distract me but I do occasionally get questions from passengers. Also feel like having an obvious dashcam as a deterrent for reverse-into-you insurance scammers could be a plus. Overall happy, do wish it could do 1440p60+HDR in both front and back simultaneously though.

VIOFO, and make sure it says "STARVIS 2" sensor. Not "STARVIS", but "STARVIS 2". Also get the VIOFO branded Industrial Grade SD Card. VIOFO Industrial and Sandisk MAX Endurance are the only two SD cards recommended by VIOFO. Other cards have potential of file corruption after extended use.

Watch some of those Dashcams compilations on YouTube to get an idea between cheap vs good, you'll notice the difference in quality between clips. It comes down to sensor quality and key features. IMO Viofo are excellent for the price. Sony Starvis 2 sensor, parking mode, wifi and app.... actually these are the only functions I really use.

Yes, although I would go for any Viofo with the Sony Starvis sensor.

Vantrue or VIOFO. They both use the Sony Starvis image sensor and have great quality. The cameras are pretty set and forget if you opt for the hardwire kit. It will turn on and off with the car and start recording as soon as it starts up. The included power adapter does the same thing if your power port in your car turns off with the ignition.

70Mai is good - I've one in the CX5, front and rear cameras - and bought direct from AliExpress - retailers here sell the same thing, just for more. Do the math. Also the Viofo seem to be getting traction well - pick anything with the Sony Starvis sensor really - they're good in day and great at night.

Yes, but I’d recommend a dashcam with higher resolution than 1080p. Preferably 2.5K* or 4K. I like Viofo.

I have a couple viofo A-series, they're awesome. Wolfbox is also getting popular.

The best cameras are the Viofos but the Fitcam is the easiest to install cleanly and looks OEM so it really depends on what you're after.

Viofo from hachielectronics. It plugs from my fake engine noise so it doesn't have to take up usb space nor have to do any fuse voodoo.

For install, look up a video on how to install one and it tells you which fuse to tap. You’ll have to drill a hole on the silver frame of the dashboard to get a ground but overall it’s not hard to install. I recommend Vioflo or Nextbase.

GKU D700 - around $122 on Amazon after coupon. Have 3 of these in our household and they’ve been flawless (installed with the hardwire kit for an extra $25ish). App is great, decent size touchscreen, good quality front and rear video and capacitor based I believe. Had Viofos in the past which didn’t last more than 1-2 years, so thought I’d give these a try.

I've owned several Viofos and I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died. I now have 70mai brand. Have the model A800S

I've owned a bunch of Viofos but have switched to 70mai for the Ioniq 5. But anyways, you should mount it on the plastic part with just the lens peeking enough to view the street. Or put it on the right side of the plastic housing. It's annoying having the dashcam visible in your eyeline.

I've ran several viofos with no problems. Currently run a A119 V3. No problem easy install. Been running them for years. Usually if something is wrong, its the sd card.

Viofos are great

Try watching Dashcmas Australia, take of the the crappy ones and the good footages. Most of the good ones I see consistently are Viofos.
