A229 Pro Tele 2CH Dash Cam
2-channel 4K and 2K 4x optical zoom dash cam
Equipped with dual forward-facing cameras using Sony STARVIS 2 technology, the A229 Pro Tele records in both 4K wide-angle and 2K telephoto views. The 4x optical zoom telephoto camera captures distant details clearly, making it well suited to reading number plates from a distance.
IMX678 & IMX675 sensors
The A229 Pro Tele uses two Sony STARVIS 2 image sensors — the IMX678 and IMX675. Both offer wider dynamic range and higher light sensitivity than standard STARVIS, reducing noise and motion blur in day and night recording.
4K Ultra HD front recording
The front camera records in 4K using a Sony STARVIS 2 1/1.8" 8MP sensor, delivering greater clarity and detail day and night, including at high speeds.
2K video, 4x optical zoom
The telephoto camera uses 4x optical zoom to capture distant details — number plates, road signs and scenery — in sharp 2K with no distortion. It complements the wide-angle front camera by adding a second forward perspective for a more comprehensive view of the road.
Built for number plate capture
The A229 Pro Tele is designed with number plate capture in mind. The 4x optical zoom brings distant vehicles into sharp focus, and the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor maintains performance in low light, helping capture clear plates at night or in fast-moving traffic.
2-channel HDR
Sony STARVIS 2 sensors combined with HDR technology balance bright and dark areas across both channels, accurately restoring 4K and 2K detail at night and in varied lighting conditions.
Ultra-fast 5GHz Wi-Fi
Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) provides fast data transfer for smooth video previewing, downloading and sharing via the Viofo app.
USB 2.0 Type-C — direct video downloads to phone
Connect the dash cam directly to a smartphone using a USB 2.0 Type-C to Type-C cable for fast photo and video downloads — up to 20MB/s on iPhone 16. This connection also supports firmware updates. A Viofo 512GB U3 A2 V30 microSD card is available separately for high-capacity storage.
Smart voice control & notification
Voice control lets you start recording, take photos, and toggle Wi-Fi using spoken commands in English, Chinese, Russian or Japanese. The camera also gives audible notifications for settings changes and memory card errors.

About the Viofo A229 Pro Tele 2CH
From our tech experts at CEN
The A229 Pro Tele swaps the usual rear camera for a 4x zoom telephoto lens, so instead of a wide view behind you get a tight, magnified view ahead. Plates and signs that a standard lens records too small to read stay legible.
Who it suits
Drivers who want evidence at distance: motorway driving, dashcam submissions to police, and anyone who has watched footage where the plate was there but unreadable. It complements rather than replaces a rear camera, so consider it alongside a 2-channel kit.
Our tech experts advise
Use a 128GB or larger high-endurance microSD card. Add the HK4 hardwire kit for parking mode. See the full telephoto range if you want to compare with the A329T. We fit 2-channel systems from £100 at our Beeston workshop. 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 is the telephoto camera on the A229 Pro Tele for?
A: The second camera faces forwards with 4x optical zoom (35° field of view) to capture distant details such as number plates, alongside the 4K wide-angle front camera.
Q: Does the A229 Pro Tele record the rear of the car?
A: No. Both cameras face forwards: a 4K wide-angle camera and a 2K telephoto camera. For rear coverage, see the A229 Pro 2CH or 3CH.
Q: What comes in the box with the A229 Pro Tele?
A: The box includes the front camera with GPS mount, telephoto camera, 3.5m car charger, 1m telephoto camera cable, 0.5m USB-C data cable, front CPL filter, spare sticky pads, static stickers and a trim removal tool.
