Hasn't been this low for a while. Update: As bargainsgrabber pointed out, lowest was this year lighting deal, and before that was last year's Black Friday deal 177.37 for $2.62 cheaper.

For those who want to hardwire, here is the kit that I bought with this DC: HK3 Hardwire Kit

2K 1440P 60fps+1080P 30fps Front and Rear Dash Camera with Wi-Fi GPS, Parking Mode, Emergency Recording, Super Capacitor, Motion Detection.

Product description copied from Amazon:
【2K 60fps+1080P 30fps Dual Dash Cam】A129 Plus Duo is the upgraded version of A129 Duo dash cam, front and rear camera shots road ahead at 2560*1440P 60fps and road behind at 1080P 30fps at the same time. Much more details can be easily captured including license plate and signpost. 140° wide angle is enough to cover the whole road and will not distort the image.
【Super Night Vision】Both front and rear camera is loaded with super high quality Sony Sensor which has better night vision than any other sensors. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, provide clearer view than most other car cameras in low-light conditions for nighttime driving.
【Built-in Wi-Fi & GPS】By connecting to wifi, you can view real-time video, transmit video, etc. on your phone at any time.. With GPS logger, dash camera can log the current speed and GPS location, also automatically correct the time by synchronizing with the satellite. Timestamp can be embedded in the video. Real-time speed would display on car camera screen in KM/H or MP/H.
【Parking Mode】Parking mode will be able to record events leading up to an impact / motion that has been detected. This is an excellent feature and completes a true parking mode as there can be a lot of vital information in the lead-up to whatever triggered recording. To use parking mode, it is better to buy VIOFO HK3 hardwire cable separately.
【Ideal Choice of Dash Cam】G-sensor, motion detection, auto start/stop, loop recording, time lapse recording, built-in microphone & speaker, mobile APP, support up to 256GB SD card, support optional CPL and Bluetooth remote control, one year warranty. A129 Plus Duo is the ideal choice for your dashcam.

        4K version only does 30fps. Many think QHD at 60 fps is more than enough.

          Based on other ozbargain comments in previous deals and reviews online, it seems like you can choose 2K 60fps on the Pro duo 4K version.
          https://www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/viofo-a129-pro-duo-revie…

        • shrugies on 14/07/2022 - 14:05

          Agreed, I think most people go QHD at 60fps for more frames to capture details/reduced blur, but 4k defintely looks clearer. It's a trade off.

          From my understanding, the biggest reason people opt for the Pro version is so they can use buffered parking mode, which isn't available on the Plus.

        • PeppaPigDidNthngWrng on 15/07/2022 - 01:36

          Can you do 60fps with dual cameras? I know some can do 60fps, but only when there is one camera, when you connect the second, it drops to 30fps.

        I have blackvue in one of my car . I wanted to buy another one for my other care and which is cheaper than blackvue. So basically I can buy this and ignore the 4K version ?

      • spad on 14/07/2022 - 14:11

        I guess resolution is more important than FPS? I am using a 2K cam now. It's sometimes hard to see the rego. I wonder if a 4K cam will be better in this case.

    • irarelycomment on 14/07/2022 - 13:58

      The Pro Duo (4K) one has the option to set front camera to 2K 60fps if you don’t want the default 4K 30fps.
      https://www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/viofo-a129-pro-duo-revie…

      Edit: here’s a previous deal about the 4K one. Basically the advantages of the 4K one is obviously having the option of 4K 30fps but also the buffered parking mode.

      Depends on your skills.

    • st33p on 14/07/2022 - 15:03

      installing the front camera is easy - you can route the cable under the roof lining, then to the right side of the car, then tuck it under the A frame (?).
      I have not attempted mounted any rear cam, so no comment on that.

      edit: the cable for the rear cam is apparently 6m long so it could be not long enough for Odyssey. You can buy the 8m cable though.

  • Jonski on 14/07/2022 - 12:29

    Hi OP. How does the hardwire kit work with the rear camera?

    • tonyvooz on 14/07/2022 - 12:35

      it has a long cable, which my installer hid it in the roof liner, running from the rear to the front.

      • Jonski on 14/07/2022 - 13:31

      i dont have the pro, but the standard one A129.

      the rear camera is connected to the Front Camera, so its powered through the front camera, and passed through to the rear camera. the rear camera isnt wireless - ive run my cables through the trim or as others have, through the floor and back up.

      • RichardMelbourne on 14/07/2022 - 13:06

        Any idea if you could connect it to an existing reverse camera as the camera would have to be installed outside the car (ute with canopy not clear enough to see through)?

        • dassaur on 14/07/2022 - 14:48

          No. It needs to record to the chip in the front camera. It's not waterproof or designed to be installed outside.

          • RichardMelbourne on 14/07/2022 - 14:58

            @dassaur: Thanks. I ordered one anyway, so I'll see what I can do with the existing external camera.

            • HG Dendrobium on 14/08/2022 - 06:59

              @RichardMelbourne: wouldn't the reverse camera burn out if you manage to fix it up as a rear recorder? i red somewhere that they are not built to constantly record images, unlike the actual rear camera that is built for such purpose

              • RichardMelbourne on 14/08/2022 - 08:55

                @HG Dendrobium: Never heard/read that, but also didn't search for anything like that. It's still in the box, so I haven't tried it yet: 101 other things to do, first.

        Thankyou

  • dreamscene on 14/07/2022 - 12:33

    Usually high resolution 4K cameras are not needed, just as long as the camera picks up the other car doing something illegal or crashing into you, you don’t even need to pickup the plate number, you can provide the video footage to the police and the many street cameras all over Metro areas in Australia will pickup the culprits rego if they do a runner.

    • jv on 14/07/2022 - 13:15

      you don’t even need to pickup the plate number

      How can you prove who's is the other car without video of the plates?

            @chinaman: There are fuse taps that power seats, lights etc even when car is off and you tap power from there to the camera.

      Can someone who is aware of this issue answer?

      • Unorthodox on 14/07/2022 - 13:36

        What was mentioned above is correct, the hard wire kit connects to two different fuses.

        If you do so, if you turn off the ignition it will effectively switch to the other fuse which if you connected to an always on then it goes to parking mode, once you start the ignition it then switches back and exits parking mode.

        It's a bit iffy in my experience and I've had to do a few resets due to the device freezing.

    Been using an a129 Duo for some time now. Fairly happy with it. It has a couple of shortcomings that my old BlackVue DR-400 didn't have, but for the price, they are hard to beat.

      Maybe in a pinch. One could technically use the WiFi feature and watch the rear camera through the Viofo app.

    I am wondering (if) how the rear camera can be used. Presumably the cameras are not waterproof so can't sit out of the cabin.

    Parking mode on these seem to be pretty useful for cars parked on narrow streets.

  • Sydster on 14/07/2022 - 20:37

    I have the same model bought from Amazon during the sale. The biggest surprise it has given is that it stops recording once the card is full, unlike its previous model A119 which would override older files this just stops recording. I have tried updates and factory restores but none seems to have resolved the issue. I now have a 256GB card and periodically I manually do a card format to clear the card.
