4K HDR front dash cam with Sony STARVIS 2
The A229 Pro records in 4K using a Sony STARVIS 2 1/1.8" 8MP IMX678 sensor. It delivers greater clarity and detail than the original STARVIS, with a wider dynamic range in a single exposure, low noise and reduced motion blur — day and night.
HDR enhanced vision for clear number plates
Advanced HDR technology balances bright and dark areas to restore accurate 4K detail at night, including number plates in fast-moving traffic.
Ultra fast 5GHz Wi-Fi
The built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi module provides significantly faster data transfer than 2.4GHz, enabling smooth video previewing, downloading and sharing via the VIOFO app.
USB 2.0 Type-C direct connection
Connect the A229 Pro directly to your smartphone via a USB 2.0 Type-C to Type-C cable for video and photo downloads at up to 20MB/s on iPhone 16. The same connection supports firmware updates.
Smart voice control and notification
Voice commands let you start recording, take photos and toggle Wi-Fi without touching the camera. Supported languages include English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese. Audible notifications alert you to settings changes or memory card errors.
Super Night Vision (SNV)
Super Night Vision improves clarity in low-light conditions, including during time-lapse recording.
Accurate GPS tracking
The quad-mode GPS module supports GPS, BeiDou, Galileo and GLONASS simultaneously for faster positioning and improved accuracy. Location, speed and time data are overlaid and viewable in the VIOFO app or on a computer.
Loop recording and auto emergency lock
The A229 Pro records continuously, overwriting the oldest footage when the card is full. The built-in G-sensor automatically locks and protects footage in the event of a collision. To enable parking mode, pair it with the Viofo HK4 hardwire cable. A Viofo 512GB U3 A2 V30 endurance microSD card is available separately for maximum storage.

About the Viofo A229 Pro 1CH
From our tech experts at CEN
The A229 Pro 1CH puts VIOFO’s 4K front camera on the screen without a second unit. The Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor and HDR hold detail on plates at distance and in poor light, which is where 4K earns its money over 2K.
Who it suits
Drivers who want the sharpest forward evidence in a single tidy camera. It suits motorway commuters, company car drivers and anyone who has struggled to read a plate on older footage. Add the rear channel with the 2CH version, or the 3CH if you carry passengers.
Our tech experts advise
Use a high-endurance microSD card of 128GB or more, since 4K fills a card quickly. Add the HK4 hardwire kit for parking mode. We fit single-channel cameras from £60 at our Beeston workshop, with parking mode configured before you collect. See dash cam installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What SD card do I need for this dash cam?
A: Use a high-endurance microSD card designed for continuous recording. Standard cards wear out quickly in dash cams. CEN stocks suitable high-endurance cards, and the maximum supported capacity is listed in the Specification tab.
Q: Does this dash cam record while the car is parked?
A: Parking mode is listed in the Specification tab. Where supported, it requires constant power from either a hardwire kit or a dedicated dash cam battery pack, both of which CEN stocks.
Q: Do I need to hardwire the dash cam?
A: Not necessarily. All dash cams work from the 12V socket for drive recording. Hardwiring hides the cabling and enables parking mode, and CEN offers professional hardwire installation from our Nottingham premises.
Q: Will the footage be accepted by my insurer or the police?
A: Dash cam footage is widely used in insurance claims and can be submitted to most UK police forces through their online portals. Recording quality matters, so check the resolution in the Specification tab.
Q: Front only or front and rear - which should I choose?
A: A front camera covers the most common claim scenarios. A two-channel system adds rear coverage for rear-end collisions and tailgating evidence, which is where many disputed claims arise. Three-channel systems add an interior view, suited to taxi and fleet use.
Q: What resolution does the A229 Pro 1CH record?
A: It records 4K at 30fps, with 4K 21:9, 2K and 1080P options, using a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 8MP sensor with HDR.
Q: Is a CPL filter included with the A229 Pro 1CH?
A: Yes. The CPL-200 front camera filter is included to reduce glare and reflections.
Q: Can I download footage straight to my phone?
A: Yes. Use the 5GHz Wi-Fi with the VIOFO app, or connect a USB-C to USB-C cable for direct downloads of up to 20MB/s on iPhone 16.
