The battle of 2K versus 1080p. Both are great dashcams but my A129 is starting to show its age after 4 years of solid service as my main dashcam. The slower Wi-Fi and slight focus shift are big reasons I wanted to put a new camera in my car.
I went with the A229 because it represents a good middle ground for video quality (and I wanted 2K rear to compare against other cameras). Now I can see if a camera claims to be 4K but the video quality is worse, it'll be easier to determine value.

I don't know how I got there, I don't even have driver's license. Gotta say, nice structure of the video and your voice is very pleasant.

Appreciate it! Thank you

Appreciate the video! I personally already have a 4K A129 PRO 2CH so I feel the 4K A229 2CH isn't much of an upgrade other then the rear camera up to 2k. I wish there were some more videos on a 4k vs 4k comparison.

Excellent video ❤❤ I own an A119 and i decided to upgrade to a 229 2k. Its perfect for my needs 100 agreed about 4k and video compression. You will need at least 1G memory to run it correctly Even if the camera support the memory it its way out to expensive. So ill wait 2 or 3 years more to jump on a 4k dash

Love this. Thank you so much!

@lukamuller454 Год назад

Very informative video, thanks for the details. I stay in India and specially in summer it's gets to about 40+ C... Do you think A229 would last in such conditions. If not what are the other alternatives?

Yo DT, Love the new review / content. So far my “long term” update with the A229 is the speaker is now completely blown due to the overwhelming volume of the lady in the box voice notifications. I have preemptively adjusted the volume of the voice notifications on my A139 Pro in the firmware APP settings so it doesn’t blow out as well. I wish the A229 had the same APP setting. I notified Viofo via DCT Forum post, and they thumbed up my complaint / firmware update request. So maybe we’ll see it added in a future firmware update. -Chuck

She is SO LOUD compared to other cameras. It's very nice though, in some cases I could not tell if the other cam had locked the footage but with the A229 I could always hear it even at highway speeds. Hopefully they do add a way to turn it down, I did not even think about the speaker longer term. Thanks for the comment :)

@richscott2483 Год назад

Best to contact Viofo. This way they can find a solution before building more new A229's also you should politely ask Viofo to repair or replace your device as it is a manufacturer defect.

Has this sound issue been resolved since your original post 8 months ago? I have a129 amd was thinking of getting a229. Thank you.

@PanzerPlatform 11 месяцев назад

@@agglad2230 Yes, however the all new A229 Pro & A229 Plus will be released next month on 9/30/23 so just wait for the new models. The new models will have STARVIS 2 sensors & HDR. So kind of a big leap forward. -Chuck

@@PanzerPlatform thank you for a fast reply and this info. I will wait.

@bijoudeaux1 9 месяцев назад

Very well-done video. Thank you! Also, I think there's less outside noise in the audio when recording from the 229.

@CraneGuru Год назад

So what dash cam should I buy Want one that can recognize plate numbers

@Beringtom Год назад

Got the A229 as my first cam. No way to start the wifi automatically, no geofencing options at all. They include a nice base so you can quickly disconnect the cam, but the rearview cam is still connected to the cam directly and not the base, so you still have to unplug that everytime.

@DrekiTech Год назад

I'd love to see the rear cam connected to the base in the future so the main unit can be disconnected as one piece. Or, have both lenses as remote units and the main recording box hidden under the dash.

@richscott2483 Год назад

As with most things said that they are improved, for every one step forward, take 2 steps backwards. You get an improvement but you have to sacrifice more than you've bargain for. You have to realize that Progress does not necessarily mean it is a good thing. "You can please some people some of the time, but you cannot please all the people all of the time." So, there you have it my friend, either take it or leave it. Enjoy life and be happy. If you have patience, maybe something better will come around.

@matty.j_1997 Год назад

So will you put the A139 Pro to the test against those two or against obe of those? 😅

@QueueTeePies Год назад

I think it's the USB mini that's causing my A119 duo to fail. I think if I drive over a bump it shakes the cable lose briefly so my dashcam crashes. That's my suspicion that. It's good they moved to a more robust coax.

@QueueTeePies Год назад

@Ralph Reilly Turns out it wasn''t the mini USB. It was the G sensor. Turned it off and it stopped crashing.

Is this better than Garmin mini 2?

@Felix-vi6pw Год назад

why you use 2k 30 instead of 2k 60 frames?!

@h.m.jjammag2782 Год назад

Hi, I bought A229 duo, can I just install/connect the front cam and and not the rear cam?

@DrekiTech Год назад

I own the A129 Pro and I can tell you that the quality is the same as the A229 Pro. Video rigged to encourage purchase. But in your video, the quality is disgusting
