VIOFO A229 Pro 3CH 4K + 2K + 1080p Dash Cam

The VIOFO A229 Pro 3CH combines 4K front, 2K rear and 1080p infrared cabin recording. All three cameras record at 30FPS. It gives taxi, rideshare and other passenger-carrying drivers separate views of the road and interior, with a screen for aiming the cameras and local Wi-Fi for reviewing saved clips.

Front, Rear and Infrared Cabin Recording

The 4K front and 2K rear cameras use Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 and IMX675 sensors. The 1080p interior camera uses a Sony STARVIS IMX307 sensor with infrared assistance for the cabin. All three channels record at 30FPS. The front, rear and interior views cover 140°, 160° and 150° respectively. If you only need road coverage, compare the A229 Pro 2CH.

HDR and Reflection Control

HDR helps balance bright headlights and darker surroundings. The included front CPL filter can reduce windshield reflections. For the rear camera, choose the CPL-300 from our VIOFO CPL filters. Keep the glass and lens clean, and check the camera angle after installation.

The cabin camera uses a 2MP Sony STARVIS IMX307 sensor with a 150° F1.8 lens. Infrared settings are Off, On or Auto; infrared footage is black and white. Current settings can enable the cabin camera during driving, parking or both.

Voice Controls and Spoken Notifications

Supported voice commands let you save a video, take a photo and operate common camera functions. Spoken notifications help you notice recording or memory-card problems. Set up the system while parked, practise the supported commands and check important files once it is safe to stop.

Voice commands support English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese; other interface languages use English commands. Spoken status notifications are separate from commands. Use the optional BTR200 remote if a physical clip-lock button is easier to reach.

Examples of supported VIOFO voice commands

Wi-Fi Access and GPS Context

Connect to the VIOFO app using 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi to review recordings, change settings and download selected files. GPS adds location and speed information to help you retrace an event. This is a local camera-to-phone connection, so it does not provide remote cloud viewing while you are away from the vehicle. All three channels share one memory card in the main front unit. Stop recording before entering settings in the app, and resume recording when finished.

Parking Recording with Compatible Power

Choose buffered Auto Event Detection for triggered clips, time-lapse for a condensed view without audio, or low-bitrate recording for continuous video and audio in smaller files. The optional VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit supplies constant power, an ignition signal and a battery cutoff through the GPS mount’s USB-C port.

Current settings include three parking geofence zones and a Night Vision option for 1FPS time-lapse. For a separate parking power source, compare the PowerCell 8 battery pack with the matching VIOFO connection. Runtime depends on available power, cutoff settings, temperature and recording mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which views does this 3CH package record?

VIOFO A229 Pro 3CH supplies front, rear and infrared cabin views. The infrared cabin camera records passengers; it is not a telephoto camera. Choose VIOFO A229 Pro 2CH if you need only front and rear views.

Can I use 60FPS and HDR together?

The A229 Pro records front 4K at 30FPS, including HDR. It does not record 4K at 60FPS. The supplied rear and cabin cameras also record at 30FPS.

How does the A229 Pro compare with the Plus?

The Pro uses an 8MP IMX678 front sensor for 4K video; the Plus uses a 5MP IMX675 front sensor for 2K. Both families offer 2K STARVIS 2 rear cameras and 1080p infrared cabin options. Compare the A229 Plus 3CH for the lower-resolution front alternative. Choose the channel package for the views you need.

How does the cabin camera work at night?

The 1080p camera uses a 2MP Sony STARVIS IMX307 sensor, F1.8 lens and 150° view. Its infrared LEDs can be set to On, Off or Auto; infrared recording is black and white. The cabin sensor is STARVIS, while the front and rear use STARVIS 2. Current settings can enable cabin recording during driving, parking or both.

Are the hardwire kit and memory card included?

No. Choose a high-endurance microSD card up to 512GB and the VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit for parking power. The front CPL-200 filter is included. The BTR200 remote is optional. The short USB-C data cable is for file transfer and updates, not the normal vehicle power lead.

Which CPL filters fit this configuration?

Front CPL-200 is supplied. Rear CPL-300 is optional. The infrared cabin camera does not need a CPL. Select the exact fit on our VIOFO CPL filters page. Adjust the filter while checking the recorded view to reduce dashboard reflections.

How do I power parking recording?

Connect the optional HK4 to constant power, ignition and ground, using the GPS mount’s USB-C power input. Match fuse taps to the vehicle and check ignition switching after installation. The current manual also supports HK6; a vehicle-voltage stamp requires HK6. A switched vehicle socket cannot keep recording once it stops supplying power.

Which parking modes can I choose?

Choose buffered Auto Event Detection for triggered clips, time-lapse without audio, or low-bitrate video and audio. A Night Vision option is available with 1FPS time-lapse. Use the A229 Pro manual for the settings supported by your firmware.

What does parking geofencing do?

You can set up to three zones where the camera powers off instead of entering parking recording, such as a private garage. Outside those zones, or with weak or lost GPS reception, it enters parking mode. Check the zones in your own installation before relying on them.

Can I watch the camera while away from my vehicle?

No. The 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi connection works with a nearby phone. GPS adds information to saved recordings. This model has no built-in LTE or cloud service for remote viewing, live vehicle tracking or push parking alerts.

Which voice languages are supported?

English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese commands are supported. With other interface languages, use English commands. Voice commands can lock a clip, take a photo and operate common controls; spoken status notifications report camera or memory-card problems separately.

What does privacy mode retain?

It keeps only the latest 6 ordinary files for this 3-channel configuration. Leave privacy mode off when you want the normal recording history. Export important clips before changing recording settings or formatting the card.

Can I record to an external SSD?

No. This A229 Pro records to a microSD card, with supported capacity up to 512GB. The USB-C connector does not add the A329 family’s external-SSD recording feature. All connected cameras share the card in the front unit.

Should I update the front and rear firmware together?

Use the BlackboxMyCar’s manuals and firmware guide, selecting A229 Pro. The front and rear use different files. VIOFO explicitly says not to update a functioning rear camera with its listed rear release; follow support instructions if troubleshooting a rear-camera problem. Back up clips and settings, maintain power and recheck recording, HDR, audio and parking after a front update. Current front instructions warn against downgrading.

What warranty comes with this new package?

The new VIOFO A229 Pro 3CH includes an 18-month manufacturer warranty. Refurbished products have their own listings and warranty terms. Read our warranty and returns terms for coverage and the claim process.

2021 Ford F 150 Viofo a229 Review

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.

Works great, easy to use

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.

Excellent Dash Cam so just go get it now!!!

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.

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.

Good camera maybe

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

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

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

Good dashcam

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!

10/10 Happy Customer

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.

Viofo A229 Plus

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, but not really!

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.

Easy to setup

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.

Huge Step up

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.

Daughter

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.

Great little dash cam

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.
