The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH is the long-awaited successor to the popular and reliable A229 series. Viofo has updated both the design and the specifications. The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH records in 4K resolution at the front and Quad HD (2K) at the rear. Combined with a built-in Sony Starvis 2 image sensor, the A229 Pro delivers razor-sharp images, both at the front and rear, in all conditions.
Dual 4K + Quad HD recording
As the Viofo A229 Pro 2CH is equipped with two cameras, it can record both in front of and behind the car. The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH records in 4K resolution at the front and in QuadHD (2K) at the rear. The rear camera is connected to the front camera via a long 6-metre cable supplied with the unit. The footage from the rear camera is stored separately on the SD card. On the 2.4-inch HD LCD screen, the rear camera is displayed in a quarter of the screen via PiP (Picture in Picture).
Optional extended rear camera (waterproof)
The 14.5-metre-long RWC200 waterproof rear camera is available as an option (see accessories). This 2K rear camera can be used for longer vehicles without a rear window, such as vans or motorhomes. Thanks to its IP67 rating, the RWC200 can be mounted outdoors without any issues.
Dual-Band Wifi
The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH is equipped with dual-band Wifi (5 GHz), ensuring very fast file transfer and a highly reliable network. Using the Viofo App, footage can be viewed and downloaded directly via Wifi on any iOS or Android phone or tablet.
Includes CPL filter
The included CPL filter guarantees optimal protection and image quality in sunny conditions. The CPL filter acts for the dashcam like a pair of polarised sunglasses for the eyes. Harmful UV radiation is filtered out and annoying reflections are eliminated. This improves the image quality and durability of the camera. The CPL-300 filter is available as an optional extra for the rear camera (see accessories).
2x SONY Starvis sensor
The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH records in 4K + QuadHD (2K) image quality. Thanks to the super-fast Novatek 96660 chip combined with the two SONY sensors, all details are clearly visible, even in the dark.
Automatic parking mode
The Viofo A229 Plus Duo 4K Wifi is equipped with an automatic parking mode featuring motion detection or Time Lapse. In motion detection mode, the camera remains on standby and begins a 30-second recording when movement is detected. In Time Lapse mode, the camera continuously records a 1fps video which can later be played back (in fast-forward) as a 30fps video. This ensures that evidence is always available if the car is damaged whilst parked.
Please note: The automatic parking mode only works if the dashcam is used with the Viofo HK4 hardwire kit or the OP100 OBD-II USB-C power supply (see accessories). When connected, the camera will automatically switch to parking mode when the car’s ignition is switched off and revert to normal recording when the car is started.
Bluetooth SOS button (optional)
With the handy optional Viofo A229 Plus Duo 4K Wifi Bluetooth SOS button, a manual SOS recording can be started on the Viofo A229 Pro 2CH at the touch of a button. The SOS button can be easily connected to the Viofo A229 Pro 2CH by switching on the dashcam and holding the button down for 3 seconds. The blue indicator LED on the button will light up blue once the connection has been successfully established. The SOS button can be mounted anywhere inside the vehicle using the adhesive pad provided.
GPS module
The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH comes with a GPS module as standard. The GPS allows the current speed to be displayed on the screen. This can be crucial as evidence in the event of an incident. Furthermore, the GPS records the locations where footage was captured by the dashcam. The route travelled can therefore be viewed via the software on a PC.
2.4-inch HD LCD screen
This Viofo A229 Pro 2CH dashcam features a 2.4-inch HD LCD screen. The screen displays live footage and allows for easy menu navigation. The built-in screensaver automatically switches off the LCD screen after a set number of minutes, if desired, so that it does not distract the driver.
140˚ + 160˚ wide-view lens
Thanks to the 140˚ + 160˚ wide-view ‘fish-eye’ lens, the Viofo A229 Pro 2CH has a wide field of view and captures almost everything in the surrounding area.
1.8 aperture 7G lens
Thanks to the 1.8 aperture at the front and 1.9 aperture at the rear, combined with a 7G lens, a great deal of light is captured, ensuring excellent image quality both during the day and in the dark.
HDR
Thanks to HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, the camera is capable of generating sharp images in both very high and very low light conditions. This means the camera captures razor-sharp images both during the day in bright light and at night in low light.
WDR
The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH is equipped with WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) hardware. This allows the dashcam to automatically adjust the light intensity depending on the environment. The WDR therefore guarantees the best image quality under varying conditions.
Auto start
The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH dashcam starts recording automatically when the car is started. So you no longer need to worry about it once it’s mounted in the car. However, this requires it to be connected to the car’s power supply.
G-sensor
Thanks to the built-in G-sensor, the Viofo A229 Pro 2CH dashcam detects when you have been involved in an accident. Upon impact, footage is automatically saved securely so that it cannot be lost. It cannot be overwritten or deleted via the dashcam.
AV output
Via the AV output, the dashcam’s footage can be displayed on an external monitor, such as the car’s built-in navigation system. An AV cable is required to transfer the footage.
Supercapacitor battery
The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH is equipped with a supercapacitor battery. This battery ensures that the camera can shut down correctly after a power failure. Supercapacitor batteries have been specially developed for use in dashcams because they are more durable than standard polymer Li-ion batteries and are also more resistant to high and low temperatures.
Built-in microphone
Thanks to the built-in microphone in this dashcam, sound inside and around the car is also recorded. The microphone can be switched off if desired.
512GB support
The Viofo A229 Pro 2CH supports MicroSD cards up to 512GB.
