VIOFO A229 Pro 4K Dual Dash Cam
The best dual-channel dash cam — 4K front + 2K rear with Sony STARVIS 2 sensors for superior night recording.
Our Review
The VIOFO A229 Pro is the dash cam enthusiasts recommend most. Dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors capture 4K front and 2K rear simultaneously with exceptional night performance — license plates are readable even in low light. Voice control lets you lock clips, take photos, and toggle audio without touching the camera. The 2.4GHz + 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi transfers large 4K files quickly to your phone. GPS logs speed and location data. Buffered parking mode detects motion and impacts while parked. At $280, it's the best value dual-channel 4K system. Vortex Radar's 'Best All-Around' pick.
