I looked at the integrated dash cam for the Highlander. The reviews for the integrated dash cam weren’t great, particularly at the price point. I put a Viofo A229 Pro in the Highlander and am going to do the same in the Camry this weekend.

Top Dead center in the Highlander and intend to do the same in the Camry. It’s a small camera. No complaints from the Highlander driver and expect none from the Camry driver.

On the r/Dashcam subreddit, you'll see VIOFO is a top rec, for good reason. A229 Pro in my car and now my wife's. They even have an employee browsing that subreddit commenting from their official account to answer questions.

I use the VIOFO A229 Pro with the rear camera. I even have it hardwired so that parking mode is available

I have a Viofo A229 Pro dual, install was easy enough and video quality is great.

Yes I’ve had one since 2018. A VIOFO A119 V2 which I hardwired myself w/o parking mode. Last year I upgraded to a VIOFO A229 Pro 2CH which I got a shop to do. Started doing it from my interest in tech but came really handy when I got into a collision on the highway. Unfortunately this is a lesson most people learn the hard way as they don’t think they need one until it’s too late.

It is not really 4k. Although the installation fits nicely with the santa fe, note that you are compromising image quality. So it depends what you are after. Seemingly ingegration with santa fe or quality. Something like Viofo A229 Pro 3-channel (3CH) has a much better img quality (night protection img is way better) .
