Experience the next generation of video evidence with the VIOFO A229 Pro Duo. This is the first dash cam to feature dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, delivering 4K UHD front and 2K QHD rear recording for unmatched clarity.
Equipped with advanced HDR, voice control, and ultra-fast 5GHz Wi-Fi, it offers premium protection and ease of use for any driver.
Looking for an option with a Telephoto Lens?
Consider the VIOFO A229 Pro Tele 2CH or the A229 Pro Tele 3CH.
The VIOFO A229 Pro pioneers a new era in dash cam technology. It utilizes two flagship sensors: the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 for the front camera and the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 for the rear camera. This combination delivers wider dynamic range and higher light sensitivity than ever before, ensuring that details are captured with precision in both bright and low-light environments.
By integrating the newest Sony STARVIS 2 technology in both channels, VIOFO eliminates the common compromise of low-quality rear video. Whether it is a tailgater or a rear-end collision, the footage is captured with the same level of starvis 2 image clarity as the front view, providing complete coverage for your vehicle.
Resolution matters when you need to identify license plates. The front camera records in stunning 4K UHD (3840x2160P), while the rear cam upgrades standard HD to 2K QHD (2560x1440P). This massive pixel count ensures that road signs and plates are legible, even at high speeds or from a distance.
This 2CH dash cam setup provides comprehensive surveillance. The 4K front view captures the wide road ahead, while the sharp rear recording protects your blind spots. Together, they form a defensive shield around your car, capturing critical evidence that a lower resolution cam might miss.
Driving at night requires superior technology. The A229 Pro 2CH features advanced HDR (High Dynamic Range) on both the front and rear units. This technology balances lighting by automatically adjusting exposure, reducing the glare from oncoming headlights and brightening dark shadows in unlit areas.
Combined with the noise-reduction capabilities of the Starvis 2 sensor, this dash cam delivers exceptional night vision that is incredibly clear. Whether you are driving through a tunnel or parking in a dim garage, the A229 Pro Duo ensures your day and night footage remains sharp and usable when you need it most.
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. The VIOFO A229 Pro comes equipped with advanced Voice Control. You can speak simple commands such as "Take Photo," "Lock the Video," or "Turn on Wi-Fi" to instantly trigger functions without touching the cam.
This feature enhances safety and convenience, allowing you to save emergency clips instantly. Additionally, the cam provides voice notifications to keep you informed of system status, setting changes, or memory card errors, so you always know your dash camera is recording properly.
Protect your vehicle 24/7 with VIOFO's intelligent parking surveillance. When paired with the Hardwiring Kit, the A229 Pro offers three modes: Auto Event Detection, Time Lapse, and Low Bitrate Recording. The Auto Event Detection features buffered parking mode, which saves 15 seconds before and 30 seconds after an event.
This ensures you catch the full context of an incident, not just the aftermath. To extend your recording duration without draining your car battery, we recommend pairing this system with a dedicated battery pack like the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8.
Note: A VIOFO HK4-C Hardwiring Kit is required to enable parking mode.

What is the benefit of Dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors?
The A229 Pro Duo is the first to use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors for both front and rear cameras. This technology provides wider dynamic range and higher light sensitivity, resulting in significantly clearer video and less motion blur in both day and night conditions compared to standard Sony STARVIS sensors.
Does this dash cam come with a memory card?
Memory cards are typically sold separately unless purchased as part of a specific bundle. We recommend using a high-endurance microSD card, such as the VIOFO Industrial card or Sandisk High Endurance, with a capacity up to 512GB to handle the high data rate of 4K recording.
How does the Voice Control feature work?
The A229 Pro listens for specific spoken commands. You can say "Lock the video" to save a clip of an incident, "Take photo" to capture a still image, or "Turn on screen" to check the view. It allows you to operate the dash cam hands-free while driving.
Do I need the Hardwire Kit for Parking Mode?
Yes. To utilize the parking surveillance features like Buffered Motion Detection, you must install the VIOFO HK4 Hardwire Kit. This connects the cam to your car's fuse box to provide constant power while protecting your battery from draining. You can find installation guides at our Dash Cam Installation Hub.
Is the rear camera cable long enough for an SUV?
The included rear camera cable is 6 meters (approx. 19.6 feet) long, which is sufficient for most sedans, SUVs, and minivans. If you have a very long vehicle or truck, you may need to route the cable carefully or check for longer cable options.
What is the difference between the A229 Pro and the A229 Plus?
The main difference is resolution and sensors. The A229 Pro features 4K front and 2K rear recording with Sony STARVIS 2 sensors on both. The A229 Plus offers 2K front and 2K rear. The Pro 2CH model offers the ultimate video fidelity for those who want the best evidence possible.
How do I view the footage?
You can view footage on the built-in 2.4-inch LCD screen, or download the VIOFO app to your smartphone. The cam features fast 5GHz Wi-Fi, allowing you to transfer and view videos quickly on your phone without removing the SD card.

The camera system was easy to install in my Ford Truck. I Love it considering purchasing another one for my wife’s Honda
Thanks for the review, Jerome! We’re glad to hear the A229 Pro was easy to install in your F-150 and that you’re loving it. We think it's a great choice for your wife’s Honda as well.
The video quality is good, app easy to use to change settings or access videos without removing the SD card. I used the hard wire kit to make the most of the parking mode feature (had to get help to install the rear cam due to interior back panels being stubborn). Device fits right behind my mirror and doesn't obscure any visibility (2017 Acura rdx). The interior cam fit slightly above the mirror and can be seen, but there is nothing that can prevent that. Im not sure the interior cam is worth it for my use case, but overall I can recommend this camera unit.
Thanks for the detailed review! We’re glad to hear the A229 Pro has been easy to use and that the app and parking mode features are working well for you. It’s great to know the fit behind the mirror worked nicely in your Acura RDX, and we appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts on the interior camera as well.
I set this up on Oct 4, 2024, and bought everything from this site!
My review can be found on my YT channel: https://youtu.be/jSGYJycXVMs?si=aXH4jMXByMQqo5jc
I am happy so far with the A229 plus now that it stays on. So far so good. Do not drive this car allot. Jag is used on highway driving mostly.
Thanks for your review, Frank! We’re glad to hear the A229 Plus is staying on and working well so far. If there’s anything we could have done to make your experience a full five stars, feel free to let us know.
This product is fantastic, clear video both front and rear, easy to install. I had 2 different dash cams previously and this VIOFO is my third one, the best of them all.
Highly recommended.
Thanks for the review! We’re glad to hear the A229 Ultra has been the best dash cam you’ve used so far and that you’re enjoying the clear front and rear video. We really appreciate the recommendation.
Solid Dashcam, easy to set up, and high quality built.
Thanks for your review, Minh! We’re glad to hear the A229 Plus was easy to set up and that you’re happy with the build quality and performance.
Amazing Camera
4K resolution looks so good!
Thanks for the review, Rebecca! We really appreciate your continued support and are glad to hear you’re enjoying the A229 Pro’s 4K video quality.
I have had this for a few weeks, still having trouble le getting videos thru the app, needs wifi but vehicle wifi takes over and wont let connect. Wifi doesn't stay on would be nice if it did or it connected thru Bluetooth. Install was a little confusing but I ended up finally getting it and figuring out what camera went where. I cannot use the rear camera as the connection wire is not long enough for my truck no matter what way I run the chord so thats a little frustrating having a camera I cannot use
Thanks for the detailed feedback, David. We’re glad to hear you were able to get the installation figured out, but we’re sorry the app connection and rear camera cable have been frustrating. For the WiFi connection, if your vehicle WiFi is taking over, this is usually because wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is active. Those systems capture your phone’s WiFi connection, so turning them off before connecting to the VIOFO app should allow the dash cam to connect properly. You can turn them back on once you are done using the app. For the rear camera cable length, please reach out to our team and we’d be happy to look over your vehicle setup and see what options are available.
Great dash camera. Super easy to install and set up.
Thanks for the review, Kevin! We’re glad to hear the A229 Pro was easy to install and set up, and that you’re happy with the camera.
A small learning curve because some features weren't apparent doing the buying process. Overall love it. It doesn't want to connect to Galaxy Tab 8, so my cell phone it is.
Thanks for your review, Deryck! We’re glad to hear you’re loving the A229 Ultra overall. There can definitely be a small learning curve with the features at first, and if you’d like help with the Galaxy Tab 8 connection, please reach out to our team and we’d be happy to troubleshoot. If there’s anything else we could have done to make your experience a full five stars, feel free to let us know.
this is my second camera and I really like them. They are great quality and easy to use.
Thanks for the review, Alan! We’re glad to hear you came back for a second unit and that you’re enjoying the quality and ease of use.
Easy to install, video quality is great!
Thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear the install was smooth and you’re happy with the video quality. Enjoy the added peace of mind on the road!
Works as advertised. I've had it for a couple weeks now. Resolution is great and licence plates are usually easy to read. FWIW I got the CPL filters for both front and rear.
Convenient features like wireless video transfer, scheduled HDR on/off, and one-touch mic on/off. Sleek design too. I haven't tested night videos or voice commands yet.
It's a big investment compared to my previous $60 camera, but the quality so far is well worth the price. I wish I bought this thing years ago.
Shoutout to BBMC for having the best price online + super fast shipping! I ordered on a Saturday and it arrived the following Tuesday.
Thanks for the amazing review! We’re glad to hear the A229 Plus has been a big upgrade for you and that you’re enjoying the video quality and features. Great call adding the CPL filters as well. We really appreciate the shoutout and are happy we could get it to you quickly.
I've only had the dashcam for a few days now but I really like it. The voice command feature is very useful. Picture quality is quite good.
Thanks for the review, Paul! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the A229 Plus so far and finding the voice command feature useful. Happy to know the picture quality is meeting your expectations as well.
Misleading defintion of product it says two channel, which in all of your other dash cams denoyes front and rear coverage but this is just two channel front coverage even thogh the telephoto camera says rear camera right on the camera and instructions
Thanks for your feedback, Chuck. We’re sorry for the confusion here. In dash cam terminology, “channels” refers to the number of cameras included in the system, not the direction they face. The product listing did not imply otherwise. That said, we understand how this could be confusing, especially since most 2-channel systems are front and rear. We’ll take a closer look at how we present this to make it clearer for future customers. If you were intending to purchase a front and rear setup instead, feel free to reach out to us and we’d be happy to help with the next steps.
Works great! Easy to setup and access it from the phone via wifi.
Thanks for the review! We’re glad to hear your A229 Pro was easy to set up and that connecting through WiFi has been smooth.
Great unit , only had it for a bit over month to replace the A129 duo
Thanks for the review! We’re glad to hear the A229 Plus has been a great upgrade from your A129 Duo. If there’s anything we could have done to make your experience a full five stars, feel free to let us know.
As I've traded vehicles this is my 5th Viofo camera.
I keep buying them because the are a decent value for the dollar.
Thanks for your review, Bob! We really appreciate your continued support over the years. It’s great to hear the A229 Pro continues to deliver solid value for you every time you upgrade.
Built-in screen and voice prompts make this camera very easy to use. I love having front, rear, and interior views.
Thanks for the review! We’re glad to hear the A229 Ultra was straightforward to install and that you’re enjoying the built-in screen, voice prompts, and full front, rear, and interior coverage.
The pro is way better than the duo because of the 4k
Thanks for the review, Stephon! We’re glad to hear the A229 Pro has been a big upgrade for you and that the 4K quality is making a noticeable difference.
Well I gave this camera to my daughter, it was installed and being her first hard wired dashcam. She tells me she loves it, apparently drivers are crazy in her city. She feels much better having a reliable camera front and back. So if she’s happy, I’m happy thanks again for putting a rush on it for me! Very much appreciated!
Thanks for the review! We’re glad to hear your daughter is loving the A229 Plus Duo and that it’s giving her extra peace of mind on the road. Happy to know we could help get it to you quickly as well.
This is my second VIOFO A229 Duo Pro. It’s got everything I want in a dash cam. Easy to install, clear picture, good app, works as it should. I’m very happy with this product.
Thanks for your review, Valerie! We’re glad to hear your second A229 Pro Duo has been just as reliable and easy to use. Happy to know it continues to check all the boxes for you.
