Finally, the world’s most powerful image sensor has launched its next generation technology, with the all-new Sony STARVIS 2. We take pride in being one of the first to experience how superior video recordings have advanced, as the first dash cam to be equipped with Sony STARVIS 2 is officially here at BlackboxMyCar - the VIOFO A139 Pro.

Let’s dive into how the VIOFO A139 Pro’s new video recording features can make a glowing difference.

We know that Sony STARVIS technology performs admirably in low-illumination monitoring. However, Sony's most recent tech, the STARVIS 2 IMX 678 image sensor, does a better job with a much wider dynamic range in a single exposure, even at night time.

Thanks to the Super Night Vision 2.0 of this VIOFO. To give you an idea of how much of a difference this makes, consider driving at night with only streetlights to light the road. Footage from a dash cam with older Sony STARVIS technology may appear dark and grainy. But with a dash cam using Sony STARVIS 2 technology, like the VIOFO A139 PRO 4K UHD, the footage will appear brighter and clearer, allowing you to see more detail.

Moreover, the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 image sensor features advanced noise reduction technology and supports an on-chip lens (OCL) and phase detection autofocus (PDAF) for better focus performance. It also supports Digital Overlap High Dynamic Range and Clear High Dynamic Range to ensure you don’t get blurry footage, but high quality images.

Apart from the Sony STARVIS 2 and Super Night Vision 2.0, the VIOFO A139 Pro also maximizes its video recording performance by using a three-channel configuration. Take note, all three cameras of the VIOFO A139 Pro are equipped with Sony STARVIS sensors - with its front camera capturing 8MP Sony STARVIS IMX678 and its rear and interior cameras sporting an Sony STARVIS IMX291.

Suitable for drivers who want to capture what’s happening inside their vehicle, the A139 Pro’s interior camera now has an F1.6 aperture, 7 elements glass lens, and six infrared LED lights. This feature, which records incidents inside the cabin in detail even in complete darkness, is extremely useful for commercial and Uber drivers to avoid unnecessary disputes.

The IR LEDs will also automatically adjust and turn on/off as needed, whereas plenty of other models out there just leave them on all the time, negatively affecting the colouration of the video. IR LEDs naturally discolor the video, so having these turned off during standard daylight situations will result in more colorful videos than other IR models.
