got a229plus 2 channel on May 2024. Great purchase...Thank god didn't go with Blackvue or any other overhyped cameras. I realised Viofo is pretty good and offer great price. Wires are long and managed to tuck in the roof of my 2024 rav4...Great camera quality in day and night..Can see registration plates clearly in night as well..The new rav4's strong LED lights may be helping as well😊 Easy to operate...App is good...though it can utilise full screen in phone to show front and back cameras separately instead of showing in PIP ( picture in picture) otherwise great app. The instructions on wires is so thoughtful, it shows how much care Viofo team has taken as per user perspective.
I installed one in a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and purchased a 3rd party rear view mirror power source kit. Works perfectly without the plug into the cigarette lighter or USB port and isn't hardwired either.
You guys need to make a sticker that basically is reflective and prevents the sun from hitting the dashcam but allows the camera to still see the road ahead... would help prevent/reduce overheating and improve longevity
When the camera hits the end of the SD card, instead of not recording at all, it starts recording over old footage. Locking will keep certain footage from being overwritten. Depending on the size of your SD card, this can potentially be a lifesaving feature.
is there a way to have the camera auto download its footage when it connects to a wi-fi network? Or live download footage to a secondary smartphone while the vehicle is in operation?
mate...just 5 buttons on the device to figure out😅 Use mic and rec buttons to go up and down. They have arrows shown on them too...I got all my doubts cleared from this video....Agree your point that they should have shown in video anyway
It’s not that difficult lmao. These are some of the best cameras on the market. The dash cam companies are limited by what sony and other corporations produce.
I've bought the two channel Kit and ordered the third camera afterwards. But the A229 Plus won't record the third video stream. It shows the third camera is connected, but it won't do anything else with it. What can i do to fix that?
@ Yeah, its an option in the settings of the app. Did find it randomly the other day, when i wanted to change something else. But i must say, the settings are not very organized
Technically, its operating temperature is between -20°C ~65°C. However, in hot weather conditions, the temperature inside the car's cabin can rise significantly higher than that of outside, which may exceed this designed range. But there is a protection mechanism inside, so it will turn off automatically when it is too hot to protect the machine.
@@ViofoDashcamOfficial So I can expect it won't work well in parking mode as the temperature may exceed the design range but while driving when aircon is there, there shouldn't be any problem.
Hi. Can you please quantify the sensitivity of motion detection? I mean how far can it detect motion if sensitivity is set to low, medium and high? My current setting is motion detection is set to low and parking g-sensor is set to high. It seemed to have not stopped recording since I left the car parked.
Do you mean that you have put the file into the DCIM folder? Please do not put it into the folder, the file shall be pasted to the root of the card. Make sure not to rename the file when you paste. Besides, please format the card to FAT32 using this program first: (do not tick quick format) viofo.com/download/guiformat.exe Here is also a video about updating you can refer to: we.tl/t-kIGLsoRPpR
A229 Plus is a disaster for me, no card work properly. It records some footage, misses some. And sometime, it skips initial an hour or two recording altogether in long drive. I thought, it is because of card being full or similar but it was not the case. I changed the card too, it didn't help. I have updated to most recent update from 24th October also but it didn't help either. I have A119 V2 and it records flawlessly on any card I put in. Feeling disappointed by Viofo regarding A229 plus. Please fix the issues in next firmware.
It's better to place the dashcam in upper left corner (the dark spot area) in actual installation so it might be more neat than it looks in this video shooting :)
@@ViofoDashcamOfficial of course it will look better without that static sticker. You have a great zone with black dots on the windshield in your car and that is the best area to mount the dashcam. Also the static sticker is visible from outside of the car and instead of a neat installation the result is an ugly install.
VIOFO, please let the front camera record @ 60 FPS in "Automatic HDR" mode during the time period when HDR is off! Becuase now 60 fps are only possible, if HDR is turned off completely. Also, please rename "Automatic HDR" to "HDR Timer" or something, cuz it's misleading. Auto HDR would mean it would turn on automatically, depending on lighting situation!
The dash cam specialist declares that in the parking mode the videos aren't saved in the auto mode. This happened twice in he declared so but a c a n d i s k has litigation issues. This product is manufactured in China. Human rights are not discussed as this comment could be censored. Dash cams operating high temperatures in have less quality control as daylight savings is not available in the a329 and nothing in A229. The reasoning is HDR is able to be placed on the day or night because it what caused the picture clarity of the license. Is cameras are not licensed plate readers but show the vehicle. License plate readers are used by law enforcement operators in these cameras may or may not get the license plate for you to submit to them and it goes on paperwork, rather than the interstate cameras that locate criminals. Any good camera doesn't have to operate right on the windshield because the temperatures are much higher in this doesn't even have a heat shield to place underneath the stickum of 3m. U3,000 is supplied with one of those and is a adas has driver safety Lane change collision warning and other. This is not available and is necessary to have on a camera on the windshield. Again human rights issues in American civil Rights for for reasoning unknown. Regular camera can operate anywhere in the vehicle and capture much better without having to shoot through a dirty window
Just ordered one, cant wait.....maybe before xmas if I am lucky!

What does action of locking the video do??
So it won’t record over the video you want save.
When the camera hits the end of the SD card, instead of not recording at all, it starts recording over old footage. Locking will keep certain footage from being overwritten. Depending on the size of your SD card, this can potentially be a lifesaving feature.
Very nice.
Great instructional video. Thanks.
I just installed this dash cam yesterday& I realised as i start driving the dash cam screen turns off after few minutes !!! I don’t know why
It is turned off due to the screen saver. You can set the time in the setting of screen saver to make the screen on for a longer time.
@ thanks for responding… My front dash cam has Rainbow effect … ! Do you know what’s the reason behind that..!
is there a way to have the camera auto download its footage when it connects to a wi-fi network?
Or live download footage to a secondary smartphone while the vehicle is in operation?
So sorry that you need to download it manually.
Can you pair more than one bluetooth button? I would like to have one by the steering wheel of my work van and and one in the back. Thanks
Hey VIOFO, how do you release the quick release GPS mount? I didn't know the head unit and the mount were 2 separate pieces.
Just slide the main unit to the right to unlock and the the other way to lock it onto the mount.
@@jagboy69 will it rip it off your windshield trying to unclip it from the mount? Thats what I'm worried about, it being too difficult.
@@enackuno it unclips easy
It is in the manual.
Received the A229 Pro 2CH, can't wait to use it. However, I am unable to test the setup at home by connecting to usb c cable. Am I missing something.
We all probably came here to see how to navigate up and down one the menu but thx for taking the lazy way out and just hitting enter on every screen
mate...just 5 buttons on the device to figure out😅
Use mic and rec buttons to go up and down. They have arrows shown on them too...I got all my doubts cleared from this video....Agree your point that they should have shown in video anyway

You use the rec and mic buttons, talk about lazy, you obviously never looked at the manual since that is what I did unlike you.
@@nerdneckbrodski731 Yeah, I would not get one that uses the latest Sony Starvis 2 sensors, just a waste if time. 978 for 4K 975 for 2K.
I've bought the two channel Kit and ordered the third camera afterwards. But the A229 Plus won't record the third video stream. It shows the third camera is connected, but it won't do anything else with it. What can i do to fix that?
Did you find out?
@ Yeah, its an option in the settings of the app. Did find it randomly the other day, when i wanted to change something else. But i must say, the settings are not very organized
@@SirWallace2 Ah cool, well at least it's there so set and forget :)
Upto what temperature A229 plus will work? I'm planning to get this model in India and we have crazy temperature during summer.

I'm placing some white vinyl on the outside of the glass to give it a little shade. Hope it works.
Around 150F or 65C, just as rated. People have done tests.
I have inside and back camera installed but it’s not recording.
Hi, where you able to find a solution for that? I am still facing the same issue

I can't update the new firmware, I put it in the folder and does nothing . reset, new sd card ,

@@ViofoDashcamOfficial Also put both .bin files on the root, it will do them both and then automatically delete them when done and reboot.
How that wires appeared magical ?
Is voice control only for English or available with Chinese/other languages?
Except for English, it also supports Chinese, Japanese, and Russian.
I just installed mine with micro sd in it but it wont turn on! My old dashcam was working just fine what would be the problem?
Did you plug in the USB port? I just use my laptop. Once on it will have some prompts and format the card.

My viofo became blurred after 2 years of use. support said that nothing can fix it. Better affordable alternatives are widely available in the market.
what model? a129?

why is your app so bad? I'm about to return this unit just on the fact that your app is the worst thing I've ever used.
what's wrong in that?
It's simple and clean... straight access to the files and menu....what else needed?
@@vijayp1436 Getunwoke has never dealt with gopro's app. Now that app is utter GARBAGE! The A229 isn't the worst I've seen.
@@vijayp1436 I found it easy to use. You can even change the WiFi password which is impossible with the hardware.
User error.
@@vijayp1436 it sucks compared to the app I used prior, And it's annoying that I have to detach it every time I want to see the recordings.
