The Viofo Dashcam A229 Pro has been a fantastic addition to my EV, offering outstanding video quality and seamless performance. The 4K front and 2K rear recording capabilities ensure that every detail on the road is captured with stunning clarity, whether I’m driving through scenic routes or busy city streets. One of my favorite aspects of the dashcam is how beautifully it captures landscapes during my road trips—watching the footage feels like reliving the journey. The wide-angle lens and excellent performance in various lighting conditions make it ideal for recording both the road ahead and the breathtaking views around me. Moreover, the setup process was intuitive, and the device’s compatibility with my EV, including its low power consumption, has been a huge plus.What truly stood out beyond the product itself was the exceptional customer service from the seller. Their professionalism and commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction made the entire experience even more positive. I highly recommend the Viofo Dashcam A229 Pro—not only for its superior features but also for the excellent support you can expect from the seller. It’s a combination that ensures peace of mind and a great overall experience.

I saw a review by that old guy on YouTube who buys everything and tests them. I can't remember his name but he's a one man Consumer Reports. Anyhow, this dashcam got the best results so I bought it for my wife's SUV. It works very good and everything you need is in the box. I'm going to buy another one for my car. You really can't go wrong with this.

The voice activation doesn't work. The camera bounces back and forth between the type of recording. It will do park recording while I am driving. It is hardwired. The app is useless. I am told I can't connect to it in my vehicle because of my android auto. I had turned it off but still can't. I brought the camera inside and tried to connect. It is stuck in a loop. I can't get passed connecting the camera.

I couldn’t be happier. Cameras are great and flawless performance. Never one issue with the functionality.If you have an suv, be aware that you will have to run the rear camera through your headliner.The only improvement I could think of is with the power cable that has the voltage control on it so you can adjust the settings so parking mode doesn’t drain your batter. My fuse box is under my back seat and the cord is too short to keep it (the voltage control box) concealed under the seat.I could reroute it so that it is concealed in the B pillar, but then you can’t adjust it if you want/need to. If the cable was about 3 feet longer it would be easily concealed under the back seat by the fuse box and that would avoid any possible damage from being exposed in the truck.Right now, it comes out of the rear seat door sill, exposed by drivers seat (to have access to the box) then goes under the drives seat door sill, then up the A pillar. Not the ultimate set up, but it works for now. I am slightly concerned about the potential for damage to the box/wire even though it is pretty much out of the way. I just don’t like that it’s exposed.

This is my fifth Dashcam, second Viofo. The first Viofo I got is in my bus, which I rarely ever drive, and I've only hooked up the main unit. So, not a fair review on that one, but I liked the quality of the unit enough to go Viofo on the car I just bought. The hardware quality is definitely above average, and so is the software/App.The good:- Hardware is good quality.- HK4 hardwire kit is available for a reasonable price- The stock power adapter has a second USB output, so if you don't use the HK4, you can still recharge your phone while the dashcam is plugged into your power outlet.- Packaging is good.- I do like the form factor of the base unit and remote cameras.- A set of extra double sided sticky pads is provided. Getting the factory applied one off is no joke, so try to get it right the first time. I found a razor blade holder with a sharp blade was best to kind of pick at the corners and roll the factory applied sticky pad off, then clean the surface, then apply the white paper side of the extra provided pad to the camera. Red tape side goes on the glass.- The voice activated functions respond IMMEDIATELY, and are not that sensitive to tone or changes in speech during a command. By the time you finish saying "take a picture," your R sound will be paired with a little chirp to let you know it happened, immediately. Very impressive. Other units I've used are laggy, even to button presses.- The cables come with 90-degree heads on one end of them, for tidy routing at the head unit. VERY important detail. Would be better to have 90-degree at both ends, but still, I like it.- GPS unit is built into the head unit. On my Rexing, the hardwire kit eliminates the GPS sensor. Viofo did it right.- Device can be completely controlled through the App, and each setting change is confirmed audibly through the head unit.- Device/camera App settings are easy to access, and all on one page.- Device audibly states "recording three channels," or however many you have. This way if one camera flakes out, you know it before you try to go recover data that's never been recorded.- Each camera can be rotated 180 degrees. My old Wolfbox wouldn't allow this. The newer ones do. In an ideal world, they'd allow to rotate every 90 degrees, but 180 intervals is definitely adequate and appreciated.- The remote cameras connect via USB-C, and are mounted in a snug, low profile clip that can spin the camera up/down 360 degrees, HOWEVER, they cannot rotate left/right at all, so cameras must be mounted in the center of your curved glass.The bad:- As mentioned above, none of the three cameras cannot rotate at all on the mounting base. You must mount the cameras in the center of your curved front and rear glass, if you intend to capture the whole view. I first had the rear cam mounted behind the driver, and I couldn't see anything behind the passenger side of the car through that rear camera. Since they don't rotate, the view you get is what you get, you cannot adjust it other than up/down.- The rear camera is NOT A BACKUP CAM. You have a screen on the unit, and you don't allow backup cam functionality? Crazy. That's honestly wild to me. I got spoiled with my weatherproof backup cameras on all my Wolfox/Rexing systems where the head unit straps onto the face of your stock mirror, and are reflective themselves, only acting as a screen when needed. As soon as I opened the box and noticed that this system didn't operate as a backup cam, I was bummed out, and decided to hide the head unit out of sight behind the car's rearview camera. Viofo seems to be a higher quality product than those other brands I mentioned, but... backup cam was my expectation. I even mix/matched cameras with those other brands, and it worked fine, so the analog cameras they're using seem to be pretty readily available, and robust. I'd love to see something like that (or a digital form) from Viofo.- Because the rear camera is inside your rear windshield, the glare is horrible, and your resolution quality really doesn't matter. Visibility is quite limited through the glass, especially on cars like mine with a heavy slope to the rear glass surface. If you have a truck, or something with vertical rear glass, you're probably fine, but that doesn't help those of us with this issue.- The interior cameras has IR LEDs to illuminate the interior in a way that only electronics can see. I have had many IR functional cameras, and I have to say, I think this combination of hardware and software in this camera results in the worst night time visibility I've ever seen. During the day, records beautifully, but once it relies on those IR LEDs, there's this horrible tunnel vision that only captures a small portion of the camera screen, and a small portion of the cabin. Software update could really do wonders here, but IDK if that's even possible. Maybe the LEDs weren't pointed in such a way to illuminate anything else, I don't know, but this, to me, is the biggest shortcoming in performance of this whole system. I bought this to protect myself in the event someone (anyone) were to approach my driver window, and now all I see in the image is that my bathroom scale isn't lying to me after all.- I love that the entire camera can be configured and operated via your phone. That's a key function that I honestly required after so much BS dragging on menu screens with lower quality units. So here's the issue... why is it a bit challenging to connect to my phone, to operate the camera? There's a dedicated Wifi button on the head unit, and you have to long press it to allow wifi to turn on. When I say long press, I mean, I've released it many times thinking something was wrong, because 4 or 5 seconds seems ridiculous. I try it again for longer, and then I get the audible "Wifi-Enabled." Why do I need to make love to this button while potentially driving a car, just to turn on the ability to access the camera? Remember, mind is out of my sight, so I need to duck down under my rearview and find the wifi button, then brail a prenup with it. It's not a mistake. There's a dedicated button. 2 Seconds is more than a long enough press to confirm someone really means it.I'll likely buy Viofo again, because again, I have had more considerable issues with other brands, but I do hope they take these notes into consideration. I just installed the system two days ago, and even with my concerns, I'm giving it four stars for now. It worked, the quality is there, the fit/form/function is very nice, and hopefully the hardwire kit results in my battery not getting drained. Can't say I've had luck in that department with those other brands. I even did an electrical draw study on one an older model Wolfbox and posted the results, but I didn't want to take the time with this one. Viofo seems like the brand to get to me.

Purchased item as driving has become more interesting due to the current batch of drivers. Have had a few close calls with people merging or running lights in front and behind my car. This item has added an extra layer of sense of security, especially for insurance purposes. Ease of installation was an added bonus.

Awesome camera, records everything!

I accidentally had the rear and interior and rear camera switched. I chatted online with customer service a lady named Linda helped me figure it out quickly. Everything is working perfectly now. Very happy!
