I wanted it to work well at night. The best sensor is currently the Sony starvis so I wanted one with that. And I wanted 4k. And I wanted multiple cameras.
So that basically left one decent option. The VIOFO. It’s been very good indeed.
Viofo A229 Pro is brilliant. You can optionally add a rear camera, or in car camera, or even a telephoto (so you can make out plates easily if someone makes off).
One thing to note about the VIOFO is that 99% of the settings you can do from your phone, but if you want to turn off the little display lights on the unit you have to use the built-in menu. You can’t do it from your phone. I turned them off so they are not distracting at night.
I just installed a VIOFO A229 in my 2024 Limited w/ eyesight. I purchased a Dongar adapter to draw power from the rearview mirror. Had it installed in about 30 minutes and looks nice and clean. Highly recommend this setup.
VIOFO A329 2Ch has been pretty good
Impressed so far however the only draw back is it doesnt notify me via phone if a collisson is detected, the next model up however offers this functionality. If it does detect damage the positive is that it puts the recording into a seperate folder so it does not get wiped.
Get a high-quality dash cam like a VIOFO. Get one with a rear camera and a sensor with excellent night vision. Spend the money to get it professionally installed at a car stereo shop. It will seem pricey, but having your insurance rate go up while being on the expensive side of a hit-and-run can save you some grief.
I have a Seal and I put a Viofo A129 Plus Duo in mine. I don't bother with hard-wiring anymore, and I use the included USB cables into the car's front USB socket for power. They're perfect length for front to back connections. I hid my cables along the headliner and windscreen, pulling back the rubber seals along the door and the A pillar trims (be mindful not to block the air bags) . I can't remember if the rear cables ran along the bottom or top, but cables are easy to hide under trim pieces or carpet. Routing the USB power plug to the front socket was tricky because of just how tight the panels were. I used a lot more force than I was used to but was happy with the final result, which was just a tiny bit of cabling sticking out to reach the socket.
I use a VIOFO, whatever the newer dual channel cam is. It hasn\u2019t let me down yet and has really good quality.
My viofo frequently overheats.
