VIOFO - A329S

My thought as well. The SD card must be the higher-quality Extreme or Industrial use. You may experience irratic behaviors that are unexplainable in some cases. The lower quality SD cards can be more exposed to vibration while writing to the card. The speed on the higher quality are much faster, ~190 Mbs per second enabling writing your video clips to the SD less read/write errors or video loss. The lower quality SD card writes about ~100Mbs per second also half the speed of the higher end. I have owned Viofo for at least ten years and have not been disappointed. The continue to add features or benefits to their product mix. I have undated the firmware to the latest version. Like any technology updating your firmware that is recommended by the OEM is key to any satisfaction. The A229 and 329 dash cams have very fast video and snapshot photos or parking mode. THIS would probably explain your to slow message when it reads the card or formats the card it sees a low speed transfer or read/write. Anyways, Best dash cam I have used.

If you just want a good front dashcam, the Viofo A119 v3 will fit the bill. I put the A329 in because I wanted the better image quality and rear camera. Was worth the extra shekels. Buy once, cry once, if you can budget a bit more. Whatever you get, make sure you get a high or max endurance microSD card.

I have had the Viofo A329 for about 10 months as my first dash cam. Very reliable product so far. I don't think you will go wrong with either of those.

There are two advantages to using two single channel dash cams rather than a two channel dash cam. Redundancy, and longer record time. Any dash cam is better than no dash cam. The best dash cam I am aware of is the Viofo A329, It does better than most at night, but all dash cams are bad at night (motion blur and over exposed license plates).

I've Viofo A329. I liked that one as that's the only one that supports SSD storage which is better than memory cards.

Viofo A329 or A229 Pro, those are the only decent dashcams I know where you can get a half decent footage and legible license plates.

Yes, but I'd recommend a dashcam with higher resolution than 1080p. Preferably 2.5K* or 4K. I like Viofo.

Blackboxmycar.com and Vortex Radar on YouTube do amazing reviews and comparisons. I have a Blackvue 2 channel in my wagon and just put a Viofo A329s 3 channel in my new daily. Dual mode hybrid parking recording and lots of nice features on the viofo. Though I prefer the form factor of the blackvue.

I'm using the VIOFO A329S 2CH myself. Works really well. Get the hardwire kit for monitoring your parked vehicle, it will record when gforce or motion is detected. Have a Honda Accord Hybrid Touring 25, and never had any battery drain issues!

I've Viofo A329. I liked that one as that's the only one that supports SSD storage which is better than memory cards.

For the price, there's much better out there. You can buy a VIOFO A329 for around the same price and that is a 4K camera with a Sony Starvis 2 sensor (the Toyota dash cam is only 1080p). Since the Sienna has a 12V plug pre-wired and hole already cut out in the headliner, running power to an aftermarket dash cam couldn't be easier.

I'm considering this because of the form factor, I like the idea of having both a digital; rear view mirror as well as an interactive touch screen right there to easily manage things is great,. But I also don't feel; great about their parking mode compared to say the Thinkware 3000 buffered parking mode. My priority is parking mode over all else, as I want to see what is happening to my car when I find a dent in the door or other damage. I don't like thinkware in other res\[pects but it definitely seems to have a superior buffered parking mode. So,. my focus has been mostly on that. I actually wrote to Wolfbox a few times asking them please consider adding a better buffered parking mode sentry unit, I doubt they will but I asked because I like everything else about it. I think I am going to get the Viofo A329 because it is really good in all areas, and I can set it up a little over kill with a 4 tb ssd, a 512 sd card, and a battery backup hardwired, so when I park it 8 or 10 hours a day it will remain in parking / sentry mode and not kill my battery or record over itself. I've got to look at thinkware once more to remind myself what was weak, I forget.

Viofo A329 is what im running Ning currently can hardwire or plug and play. Just have to buy their hardwire kit if thats the route. Its pretty straight forward

Look up the YouTube videos by SafeDriveSolutions. I'm located in Canada and I had them professionally install my dashcam (Viofo A329) and I haven't had a single issue with it. I went for the one with 4K60fps recording just to get the top of the line dashcam with my new RAV4 See in Cavalry Blue (too!). It has both front and rear dash cams, along with parking mode.

Viofo a139 pro was the best dashcam I had until it stopped working one day. Now i have a viofo a329s and a rove r2 -4k dual

The best cameras are the Viofos but the Fitcam is the easiest to install cleanly and looks OEM so it really depends on what you're after.

Afaik There is no right dash cam for a specific car. It's all based on what you want to achieve; Personally I went with a VIOFO A329S for full footage coverage (Front, Back and Inside) and have it hooked up to a battery pack for parking mode.

I have the Viofo A329S dual camera, which is mounted up front and powered by the rearview mirror (premium only and you'll need a $20 kit, otherwise usb in the center compartment). Then it has a long cable you can easily run all along the top where the interior trim meets the ceiling. I found it trivial to just pull back on it slightly with a finger and stuff cable with absolutely nothing visible.

The new Viofo A329s 2ch is available for around $700, with install that's still saving a bucket load over the stealership.

If it's not hardwired, then it will switch off when the car switches off. Typically you connect it not directly "to the battery" but to a line somewhere that ultimately gets powered directly off the battery. If you don't know how to or don't want to mess around with it yourself, just pay a shop to install it for you.

All the good dashcams use capacitors. Otherwise heat destroys the battery. I've had a VIOFO for about 10 years running fine. Now I run a new VIOFO A329S 2CH since my other one was broken in a car accident. SD card still kept the footage though.

Bear in mind the A119 would never be able to capture the plate if it's not day time+ stationary, if it's a hit and run guaranteed would not be captured, I went through thinkware x1000, A139 Pro( actually gd video quality no problem capturing plates on speed, but the 139 has a known cable issue that the rear camera might disconnect occasionally, switched to the newest a329s, cable issue is gone)

Honestly it was a great price, I paid $846.37 total. But it came with the VIOFO A329 with the rear camera, a 128/256gb memory card (I can't remember) it was also set up with parking mode so it's professionally installed to my fusebox under the steering wheel. Along with all cables hidden and zip tied so the only cable you see is the 1-2" coming from the rearview mirror area. All in all, with the additional accessories, you only really pay about $130 for the install cost. If you price the rest of the items separately, you pay about $717 (according to Viofos website, added accessories and free shipping). Plus Ted sat down with me, set up the camera and showed me how to use it etc. Trust me, I watch the installation and I would have had 0 idea how to take apart the parts that Ted did and I'm glad I paid for it. Edit: Not sure why I'm being down voted for my answer, I did my research before going with them.

Get something like the Viofo A329, which has a mount that sticks to your windshield then the cam snaps to the mount. Good camera too.

As an insurance agent, I think EVERYONE should have a dashcam. Preferably one with front and rear facing cameras. There are some great 4k cameras out there with Bluetooth capabilities. Viofo has some great cameras that get amazing reviews, but they are expensive. For more budget conscious individuals REDTIGER F7NP is a great option as well that has wireless, but it's not Bluetooth. We have them installed on all of our vehicles.

I'm very happy with my Viofo A329.

Look up safe drive solution, they will actually come to your house and install it in your driveway for you. Here's what I wrote into he past to someone else asking about dashcams and installation shops. I got the Video A329. Or whatever the top of the line 4K one is, I can't remember it now. "Honestly it was a great price, I paid $846.37 total. But it came with the VIOFO A329 with the rear camera, a 128/256gtb memory card can't remember) it was also set up with parking mode so its professionally installed to my fusebox under the steering wheel.

Just bought VIOFO front and rear for my truck.

Go buy a VIOFO A229 or the newly released A329s dashcam. Coming from someone who has owned the A129 duo (2k front 1080 rear), the upgrade to the A229 pro duo with 4k hdr front n 2k hdr rear is a massive upgrade. I believe the A329S is a moderate upgrade. Video quality from VIOFO is top notch and very reliable

FitcamX is nice because of the fit, but something like a Thinkware U3000 or Viofo a329 is going to capture better video. I am getting the A329. I don't plan on doing any monitoring during parking, but it's compatible with battery packs if you want that feature. It would probably be easy to run the wiring down the passenger A pillar and to the fuse box the secure the battery down there somewhere.

I use Viofo A129 on my cars. It's top-rated for a reason - good price, 4K video recording, wifi connectivity, capacitor-powered (instead of batteries that bloat and degrade in heat), front and rear cameras. Newest model is now the A329.

Now that the A329 is out, I'd recommend it over the A229 Plus or Pro. It's more expensive, but is an overall better camera. For me the killer feature is it can record to an external SSD. No more fumbling with those tiny cards; no more microSD file corruption.

Have had good luck with Viofo. Currently rocking a 329 but thinking about swapping to the three channel.

None of these cameras had a Sony Starvis 2 sensor, yet if you pay a little extra, you can step up to the newer version of the Viofo A119, the A119 Mini2 which does, and which would beat the Viofo A119 V3 that won this test in the same way that the V3 beat most of the competition! Having stepped up to current generation Sony Starvis 2, you can then step up to the 4K version, which is another significant step, and then you get a bit stuck on image quality and going for a far more expensive Blackvue or Thinkware is currently a step down in image quality relative to the 4K Viofo A229 Pro, only reason you would take that step is to get cloud access to your parked car, but that is an expensive choice, both in cash and in license plate readability. Best image quality currently is the Viofo A329 series, which not only has Sony Starvis 2 sensors, but has also moved to the next generation of processors, which is bringing quite a few advantages.

Viofo A329 or A229 Pro, those are the only decent dashcams I know where you can get a half decent footage and legible license plates.

Viofo A329S with the hardwire kit should be one of the best in the market now

I went viofo a329. 3ch, including interior infrared fisheye and rear waterproof mounted underneath the "spoiler". It was between this or the wolf box. I am very happy with this setup. I just wish I could do the 60fps with 3ch like they falsely advertised I could do on launch day.

I'm looking at replacements now and the A810 is one of my final contenders. I was planning to hardwire it, but I'm a little worried about it since their basic hardwire kit has shut off voltage options of only 11.6 or 12.0, both of which are too low. With all the 12v issues on the EV6 that makes me a little nervous. It also apparently only buffers 2 seconds of video in an event recording which is pretty short. The video samples online are really good though, firmware is published regularly and publicly (unlike fitcamX), and the price can't be beat (it's $139 right now). I think for me it's between that or the VIOFO A329. A329 is way more expensive, but has better rear cam quality and draws less power in parking mode (and hardwire kit has better voltage cutoff options). I ran A119v3 for years as front and back cameras with no problems but I sold them with the old car when I bought the EV6. Our secondary car has an A119S that's still working well too. The new A329 has some questionable reviews though so I may just go with the 70mai.

VIOFO A329S. For sure.

If you're looking for a good dash cam, go with the Viofo brand. I have the A329S front & read dashcam with the HK6 wire kit and it works great with my 24 CRV hybrid sport.

VIOFO A329 that Best Buy installed on my X5 for $99. Clean install too, running the rear through the rubber tubes, etc. $900 for everything is crazy. And I'm Bay Area so VHCOL.
