Elevate your road safety with the VIOFO A229 Plus, the value king of the A229 series. Featuring dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, this dash cam records crisp 2K QHD video from front and rear, ensuring license plates are legible.
With advanced HDR, 5GHz Wi-Fi, and hands-free Voice Control, it delivers premium video quality without the premium price tag.
The VIOFO A229 Plus sets a new benchmark for mid-range dash cams by offering 2K QHD (1440P) resolution for both the front and rear cameras. Unlike traditional systems that pair a good front cam with a weak rear unit, this dashcam ensures that rear-end collisions are captured with the same high-definition precision as the road ahead.
This balanced approach provides a comprehensive safety net. Whether you are driving on a busy highway or backing out of a tight spot, the 2K resolution captures sharper details than standard HD. This ensures smooth video playback and makes it easier to read road signs and license plates in your video quality.
At the heart of the A229 Plus are two powerful STARVIS 2 IMX675 image sensors. These next-generation sensors are specifically engineered to deliver wider dynamic range and superior light sensitivity compared to their predecessors. This results in a cleaner Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 image with less noise in low-light conditions.
By equipping both channels with Sony STARVIS 2, VIOFO ensures consistent performance all around your vehicle. While the flagship A229 Pro uses 4K, the A229 Plus proves that 2K paired with a superior Starvis 2 sensor delivers professional-grade clarity that rivals many more expensive dashcam models.
Driving at night can be challenging for cameras due to the contrast between dark roads and bright headlights. The A229 Plus utilizes advanced HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology to solve this. It automatically balances the exposure, toning down bright lights and boosting dark areas to reveal hidden details day and night.
This is critical for capturing evidence at night, as it prevents license plates from being "washed out" by your own headlights. Whether you are in a dimly lit parking garage or on a pitch-black country road, the A229 Plus ensures your night vision footage is clear and usable from both the front camera and rear camera.
The A229 Plus is designed for modern convenience. It features a built-in Quad-Mode GPS Module for precise tracking and upgraded 5GHz Wi-Fi, allowing for incredibly fast video downloads to your smartphone via the VIOFO app. You can review footage or share clips instantly without removing the SD card.
Safety is further enhanced by the built-in Voice Control. You can keep your hands on the wheel and simply say commands like "Lock the video," "Turn on audio," or "Take photo." The dashcam also provides spoken notifications, keeping you informed of its status so you can focus on driving.
Secure your vehicle even when you are away. When paired with the optional Hardwiring Kit, the A229 Plus activates its intelligent parking mode. Features like Buffered Auto Event Detection automatically save footage 15 seconds before and 30 seconds after an impact, giving you the full picture of an incident.
The system also supports Time Lapse and Low Bitrate recording for long-term monitoring. To maximize your parking mode duration without impacting your vehicle's battery, consider adding a dedicated battery pack like the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8.

What is the difference between the A229 Plus and the A229 Pro?
The primary difference is resolution. The A229 Pro records in 4K Front + 2K Rear, while the A229 Plus records in 2K Front + 2K Rear. Both use Sony STARVIS 2 technology, but the A229 Pro offers higher resolution for the front camera. The Plus is a fantastic value for those who want excellent dash cam performance without the 4K price.
What SD card should I use?
We recommend using a high-endurance MicroSD card designed for dash cams. The A229 Plus supports a MicroSD card up to 512GB. A high-quality SD card is crucial for reliable parking mode recording and handling the high data rates of dual 2K video streams.
How do I install the rear camera?
The rear camera attaches to your rear windshield using the included adhesive mount. You connect it to the front unit using the provided 6-meter cable. For detailed instructions on routing the cable through your vehicle, visit our Dash Cam Installation Hub.
Does this camera have a battery or a supercapacitor?
The A229 Plus uses a supercapacitor instead of a lithium battery. Supercapacitors are much more durable and heat-resistant, making the dashcam safer and more reliable in extreme temperatures compared to older battery-powered dash cams.
Does the Voice Control work offline?
Yes, the Voice Control is processed locally on the dash cam. You do not need to be connected to the VIOFO App or the internet to use commands like "Take Photo" or "Lock the Video."
Will this drain my car battery in parking mode?
If you use the VIOFO HK4 Hardwire Kit, it features a built-in voltage cutoff. This protects your vehicle by shutting off the dashcam if the battery voltage drops too low. However, for extended parking mode use, we suggest using a dedicated battery pack.
Where do I insert the MicroSD card?
The MicroSD card slot is located on the side of the main front and rear unit. Please format the SD card inside the camera before first use to ensure file system compatibility.
