The World's First Dual Sony STARVIS 2 Dash Cam with 4K HDR & 4x Optical Zoom
The VIOFO A229 Pro Tele 2CH isn't just about footage; it’s about peace of mind, protection, and storytelling. Powered by dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, it delivers 4K HDR clarity up front and a 2K HDR telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom. Whether you're protecting your livelihood, defending your innocence, or documenting unforgettable road trips, this dash cam captures it all.
The VIOFO A229 Pro Tele’s 4K HDR front camera records in 3840x2160 Ultra HD at 30fps, capturing every frame in forensic-level clarity. HDR balances overexposure from headlights, street lamps, or glaring sunlight, ensuring license plates and faces remain legible in any lighting condition.
With 4K HDR footage, you’ll have the objective proof to show who was at fault, preventing insurers from twisting the story. Your car is more than transportation; it’s an investment. This feature ensures that investment is protected.
Both the front and telephoto cameras are powered by Sony’s latest STARVIS 2 sensors, designed for low-light excellence. STARVIS 2 captures more light with less noise, making nighttime footage sharper, clearer, and more reliable than older dash cam technology.
STARVIS 2 ensures that if harassment or suspicious activity occurs, your dash cam will capture the faces, plates, and actions you need to stay protected. This isn’t just about evidence, it’s about confidence behind the wheel.
While many dash cams only apply HDR to the front camera, the VIOFO A229 Pro Tele 2CH brings true HDR to both channels. This means whether you’re driving through a tunnel, parking in a shadowed lot, or navigating into the sun, both cameras deliver perfectly balanced exposure.
Those moments when the sun sets behind mountain peaks or when city lights sparkle on a night drive? HDR ensures your dash cam captures them as vividly as you remember. It doubles as a personal travel filmmaker, documenting your journey in cinematic clarity.
Unlike basic parking modes that only record after an impact, Buffered Parking Mode captures the seconds before and after motion or impact is detected. That means you’ll always know what caused the damage, not just the aftermath. A passenger slamming a door into another car, a stranger keying your vehicle, or a hit-and-run while you’re between pickups, Buffered Parking Mode records it all. This feature ensures you’re not left holding the blame for something you didn’t do.
The integrated GPS module supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite systems, providing rapid lock-on and precise data worldwide. Each recording includes speed, time, and location information, strengthening its value as evidence in insurance claims or legal disputes. For fleet drivers and those who operate internationally, quad-mode GPS ensures a dependable positioning record at all times.
Thanks to dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz), you can connect directly to your dash cam. Review clips, adjust settings, and download videos without removing the SD card. With instant sharing, you can forward footage to police or insurance before the aggressor twists the story. It’s not just convenience, it’s protection.
The VIOFO A229 Pro Tele 2CH provides real-time spoken alerts, telling you if recording has started, if the memory card has failed, or if parking mode is active. Your dash cam becomes a co-pilot that reassures you it’s working, so you’re never left wondering if you’re protected.
Supporting microSD cards up to 512GB, the VIOFO A229 Pro Tele 2CH offers substantial storage capacity for dual-channel continuous recording. This makes it particularly suitable for long-haul trucking, extended commutes, or drivers who need to retain footage for extended periods without frequent overwriting.

Thank you for the great review. We’re glad everything arrived on time, well packaged, and that our team was able to help with your questions along the way. We really appreciate you choosing us for your A229 Plus.
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.
I’ve been very impressed with the Viofo A229 Plus 2K QHD 3-channel dash cam. I have it hardwired directly to my vehicle’s fuse box, and it has started up reliably every time. Installation was straightforward, and the overall performance has been excellent.
Image quality is a major improvement compared with my previous Viofo A119 V3, which I have been using for many years and which is still working reliably. The A229 Plus has noticeably better nighttime performance, especially when dealing with glare from headlights and street lighting. It also does a much better job capturing license plates in challenging lighting conditions.
The built-in Wi-Fi is another feature I really appreciate. Being able to quickly access clips on my phone, preview footage without needing to remove the memory card, and share important recordings immediately is extremely convenient. With my older A119 V3, I needed a computer or a USB-C card reader adapter to access footage, which was much less practical when dealing with a roadside incident.
While there are higher-resolution and more premium dash cams available, I think the A229 Plus offers an excellent balance of image quality, features, and value. For most drivers, the footage quality is more than sufficient to document accidents, establish fault, and provide peace of mind while on the road.
Overall, this has been a significant upgrade from my previous dash cam, and I would highly recommend it.
Thanks for the detailed review, Brian! We’re glad to hear the A229 Plus has been such a strong upgrade from your A119 V3 and that the improved night performance, WiFi access, and 3-channel coverage are making a real difference. It’s great to know the install was straightforward and the camera has been reliable every time. We really appreciate the recommendation.
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.
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.
So far the quality seems pretty good! Only downside is the app/apps for the Viofo Dashcams. I dont expect them to be perfect or great, but the first day i had access to the live preview and all of a sudden it stopped working on day 2 of being installed. The other thing is the VHB falling off the rear view camera (it stuck well to the window but its falling of the plastic of the camera). Other than that its working well. Quality during day and night good thanks to the STARVIS2
Thanks for your feedback, Joshua. We’re glad to hear you’ve been happy with the video quality overall. For the app side, we recommend using only the newer VIOFO Dashcam app with the red icon, as that is the current app that's actively being updated, and many connectivity issues can often be resolved with a few simple setup adjustments. As for the rear camera adhesive, if the spare mounting adhesive included in the box does not resolve the issue and it keeps happening, that would be covered under warranty. Please feel free to reach out to us and we’d be happy to help.
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.
My experience is mostly my fault. I didn't realize that the camera was constantly drawing power from the batteries while in park mode. I thought that the unit mainly went to sleep and was awakened by any g-force type bumping that occured, which would save batter power. Jeeps are battery hungry vehicles. If you draw down the auxiliary battery too many times the main battery will also die and vice versa. I opted to have the unit shut down completely because of this misperception. Which basically defeats having the parking mode. Although I can turn it back on if I am parking in a questionable area. Also it definitely takes hours to install the front, back and parking mode cables. And since there isn't any definitive guide available you are left with watching YouTube videos to try and figure an installation strategy. It may be worth while to have it installed by someone that does these kinds of installations on a regular basis. Other than the above the camera works as expected.
Thanks for your detailed feedback. We understand where the frustration is coming from, especially with how parking mode was expected to behave. In a proper setup, the camera should not drain the battery to that extent, even on vehicles like Jeeps. It’s often related to how the hardwire kit is configured. The yellow wire should be connected to switched ACC power and the red wire to constant power. It’s also important to check the low voltage cutoff, we typically recommend setting it to 12.2V to help prevent battery drain. Setting a parking mode timer on the camera can also help limit how long it stays active. If you’re aiming for a setup that only records on impact, you can use auto event detection and lower the motion sensitivity to zero so it behaves more like a sleep mode until a trigger occurs. We agree installation can take some time, especially for a first setup, and professional installation is always a good option for a cleaner and more optimized result. If you’d like, feel free to reach out and we can help review your setup to make sure everything is configured properly.
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.
Shipping time was good, product as described, so far it works as advertised. Thanks
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.
5 stars.
Thanks for the 5 stars! We’re glad you’re happy with your A229 Plus and appreciate your support.
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.
Love it
Thanks for the review, Joseph! We’re glad to hear you’re loving your A229 Plus Duo.
bought a second unit for a second straight year during black friday sales. wuality of images is solid. price point is excellent and the app is easy to use and the transfer of videos to phone is fast
Easy to set up and install. Video playback is excellent quality. Good value for the price.
Thanks for the review, Paul! We’re glad to hear the A229 Plus Duo was easy to set up and that you’re impressed with the video quality and value.
This thing felt like quality materials and not cheap. Excellent video quality. Chose to hard wire to my fuse box for park mode feature. Already one crash on video and uploaded to local PD evidence site. Only issue I have, and nothing that VIOFO controls, is my android car play Bluetooth app has to be shut off or disabled to allow me to connect to dash cam to down load videos to phone.
Thanks for the review, Herschel! We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the A229 Plus Duo’s quality and parking mode performance. It’s great that it captured the footage you needed during that incident and proved its value when it mattered most.
