2-channel 4K front and 2K rear HDR dash cam
The A229 Pro uses dual Sony STARVIS 2 cameras to deliver 4K front and 2K rear recording with excellent detail day and night.
IMX678 and IMX675 sensors: less noise, less motion blur
The front uses the IMX678 and the rear the IMX675 — both Sony STARVIS 2 sensors. Compared with original STARVIS technology, they offer wider dynamic range and higher light sensitivity, reducing noise and motion blur in day and night recording.
4K Ultra HD front recording
The front camera uses a Sony STARVIS 2 1/1.8" 8MP sensor to record in 4K. The higher pixel count delivers greater clarity, capturing number plates and road detail clearly even at speed, day or night.
2K rear recording
The rear camera records in 2K using a Sony STARVIS 2 1/2.8" 5MP sensor. The sensor delivers 2.5 times wider dynamic range than a STARVIS pixel of the same size, producing sharp, clear footage day and night.
2-channel HDR for clear number plates
HDR is active on both cameras, balancing bright and dark areas to preserve 4K and 2K detail across a wide range of lighting conditions — including capturing number plate detail at speed.
5GHz Wi-Fi for faster video downloads
The built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi module provides faster data transfer than 2.4GHz, making video previewing, downloading and sharing via the VIOFO app noticeably quicker.
USB 2.0 port for direct downloads to your phone
A USB 2.0 Type-C port lets you connect directly to a smartphone for photo and video downloads at up to 20MB/s on iPhone 16. The same connection can be used for firmware updates.
Smart voice control and notification
Voice commands let you start recording, take photos and toggle Wi-Fi in English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese. The A229 Pro also gives audio notifications for settings changes and memory card errors.
Accurate GPS tracking
The quad-mode GPS module supports GPS, BeiDou, Galileo and GLONASS for fast positioning and reliable accuracy. Location, speed and time data are embedded in recordings and viewable in the VIOFO app or on a computer.
Parking mode
The A229 Pro supports auto event detection, time-lapse and low-bitrate parking modes. Continuous parking mode recording requires the Viofo HK4 hardwire kit, which provides a permanent power connection with low-voltage cut-off to protect your car battery.
Storage
The A229 Pro accepts microSD cards up to 512GB. For reliable continuous recording, a high-endurance card such as the Viofo 512GB U3 A2 V30 microSD card is recommended.

About the Viofo A229 Pro 2CH
From our tech experts at CEN
The A229 Pro 2CH sits in the middle of the VIOFO range. The front camera records 4K through Sony's STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor and the rear records 2K, with HDR doing the hard work when a low winter sun sits behind the car in front or headlights are coming at you. Like the rest of the range it runs on a supercapacitor rather than a battery, which is why these cameras cope with a car that bakes in July and sits frozen in January.
Who it suits
Drivers who want the road behind covered as well as the road ahead. Rear-end shunts and tailgating are the incidents most likely to be disputed, and a rear camera settles them. If you only ever need the view forward, the 1CH version of the same camera saves money. If you carry passengers for work, the 3-channel version adds an infrared cabin camera for night fares.
Our tech experts advise
Budget for the HK4 hardwire kit at the same time. Parking mode is most of the reason to own this camera, and it needs a permanent feed from the fuse box rather than the 12V socket. Pair it with a high-endurance microSD card; 128GB is the sweet spot for 2-channel 4K, and ordinary cards fail under constant rewriting. If you would rather not take the trim off yourself, we fit the A229 Pro at our Beeston workshop from £100 for a 2-channel install, with the cabling hidden and parking mode configured before you collect the car. See dash cam installation for details.

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 Viofo A229 Pro 2CH record at?
A: The front camera records in 4K and the rear in 2K, both at 30fps (4K P30 + 2K P30). Other modes are 4K 21:9 + 2K 21:9, 2K P30 + 2K P30 and 1080P30 + 1080P30.
Q: Can I download footage straight to my phone?
A: Yes. Use the built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi with the VIOFO app, or connect with the supplied Type-C data cable for downloads of up to 20MB/s on iPhone 16.
Q: Does the A229 Pro come with a polarising filter?
A: Yes. The front camera CPL filter (CPL-200) is included. A CPL-300 filter for the rear camera is available as an option.
