[REFURBISHED] VIOFO A329 4K UHD 2-Channel 60FPS Wi-Fi 6 Dash Cam

Original A329 front and rear cameras

The front camera uses an 8MP Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor, a 1/1.8-inch sensor format and an F1.8 lens with a 140° view. The rear camera adds a 5MP STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor, 160° coverage and 2K 30FPS recording. There is no cabin camera in this package.

At 4K 60FPS, motion appears smoother. At 4K 30FPS, front HDR can balance bright highlights and dark areas. Position the camera in a clean, wiper-cleared part of the windshield and inspect original daytime and nighttime clips. Lighting, distance and speed still affect readable detail.

HDR and low-light settings

Front HDR requires 30FPS; it is off when recording at 4K 60FPS. Rear HDR is supported at 2K 30FPS. The rear HDR timer follows the front timer when Auto is selected.

The included CPL-200 front filter can reduce dashboard reflections when adjusted correctly. Check the view after fitting it, including at night. The HDR picture illustrates exposure balance rather than promising that every plate will be readable. Night Vision is a separate option for 1FPS time-lapse parking recording.

Voice commands and recording alerts

Use spoken commands to lock a video, take a photo, start recording or switch Wi-Fi, audio and the screen. The current manual lists English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese commands; other interface languages use English voice commands. Test them while parked, since cabin noise can affect recognition.

Voice notifications report camera status and card errors. Current firmware also offers critical alerts only. The optional BTR200 Bluetooth remote provides a physical clip-lock button and configurable controls.

Local Wi-Fi 6 and recorded GPS data

Connect a nearby phone through 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi to preview footage and download recordings in the VIOFO app. Stop recording before changing camera settings, then resume recording after checking them. Wi-Fi 6 transfer speed depends on the phone, interference and file size. The 2.4-inch camera screen provides another way to frame the view and check recordings.

The GPS mount saves location and speed with video when a satellite signal is available. Review the recorded route with compatible software. GPS is not a live tracking service, and the A329 has no LTE modem or cloud connection for remote viewing.

Parking recording and battery controls

Use the separately sold HK4 or HK6 through the GPS-mount power port for automatic parking mode. The side USB-C data/SSD port does not provide the hardwire parking connection. Set the voltage cutoff and timer for your vehicle and test the installation.

• Auto Event Detection: buffered clips capture footage before and after detected activity.
• Time-lapse: continuous recording at a reduced frame rate, without audio; 1FPS supports Night Vision.
• Low bitrate: continuous video and audio in smaller files.

Current A329 firmware adds HK6-dependent vehicle-voltage display and battery-protection settings. Its geofencing setting can skip parking recording in up to three designated areas; with weak or lost GPS, it enters parking mode instead. Parking-impact notifications are delivered at the next startup, not to a remote phone. Runtime depends on available power, temperature and settings.

MicroSD or portable SSD recording

Use a compatible high-endurance microSD card up to 512GB, or a compatible portable SSD up to 4TB with the dedicated VIOFO SSD cable. Choose one recording destination: the A329 does not mirror recordings to both at once. You can select a separate destination for parking files and use the menu to back up microSD recordings to an SSD.

Format the SSD to exFAT and secure it where it will not obstruct driving. VIOFO recommends 0°C to 60°C for SSD operation. Verify the exact drive and cable against VIOFO’s current compatibility guidance before buying. Loop recording still replaces older ordinary files, so export important originals promptly.
