    I have this, feel free to ask any questions. The max support card is 512GB.

      Are you happy with it and would you buy it again if needed?

        I would go for a 4K camera. The video quality of this camera is significantly better than that of the A129 (1080p vs 2K), which my other car has. I can recognise number plates at night, but I am not sure how this or any other camera would react in tricky light conditions like this. The microphone records the audio well. When I activate HDR, the FPS in two-channel recording drops to 30 FPS. The firmware is more stable than Viofo A129. I am extremely happy with the money I paid :) (I paid $260 something and got 30$ cashback in March this year).
        Next time, I would buy an A329, which has support for an external SSD to save videos when the SD card is full.

          Good feedback, thanks. I am upgrading from a 1080p Front Camera only, which is basic. Its an old Navman that is like 6 years old I reckon. So this will be a nice upgrade.

          Good to know some of the additional benefits for the future.

          • @geekcohen: You will love it. I would suggest buying CPL filters for better clarity and using a quality micro SD card. The camera beeps constantly and stops recording videos when I put a Samsung Evo Plus or a WD purple micro SD cards. I am currently using a Samsung high endurance card. No issues.

            • @darshu: Thanks, I think I have Samsung High Endurance. I will need to check. But thanks for the heads up.

        • Would you consider the A229 Pro which is 4K front? (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000166479220.html)

          • +1

            @Domingo: 229 pro isn't bad. I didn't consider it because 229 pro was ~ 200$ expensive than the 229 plus (front cam, back and the hardwire kit). The rear cams and max SD card sizes in pro and plus models are identical. Pro comes with a front cpl filter.

            • @darshu: Whoops, was looking at the A129 price. My bad

    • How would you compare this to Azdome? I am currently using Azdom M63 (I think) and happy with its performance except its not hard wired and ia unable to record in parking mode.

      So I am looking for its replacement and thinking about Viofo.

    Should be able to stack with coupons to reduce price.

    Got 2 cam + HW kit, added CPL filter for $281 total with AUOZ30 code, less 11% cashback or around another $25.

    If you buy 2 or more cameras in 1 transaction, message the seller prior to purchase if they can include the CPL filter for free if you buy 2 or more cameras. I got 2 free CPL filters. You have to remind them again in messages after purchase to make sure they include them for free.

    Pro tip 1, get the hard-wire kit for Parking Mode video options (good for recording video in car parks when you go shopping for a few hours). Also get 2 fuse taps from Aliexpress (appropriate fuse tap type for your vehicle).

    Pro Tip 2: Do not mount directly on windscreen (As per 99% of Youtube videos) if car is parked outside, direct sun will lower it's lifespan. Try to put it on the plastic shrouding behind the rear view mirror to get the body of the camera in the shade or if you do not have any plastic shrouding then buy a cheap roll of the darkest tint metallic film and cut an appropriate size and stick it to the windshield and then mount the camera on the tint film when the tint has dried. As long as the body og the camera is not in direct sunlight all the time, it stays relatively cooler improving working life of both the camera and the SD card. Also it hides the camera from view from outside when just glancing at the windshield.

    Pro Tip 3: The best recommended SD card for this is the Sandisk Max Endurance. https://www.amazon.com.au/SanDisk-Endurance-microSDXC-Adapte…

    • Is this correct that lots of fakes floating around on Aliexpress?

      My installer advised me to be careful when buying from there.

      Is there a reliable seller on Aliexpress?

      • I bought from the Official Aliexpress Store.

  • Please note if you want to install this and in future swap out with viofo A329 you cant as rear cable connections are different.

  • The price is further reduced with latest sale. Ordered both A229 plus duo 2CH with Hardware kit and CPL filters for both front and back for AUD278
