Best praise vs top criticism for Viofo A229 Plus
“Nice choice. I have a229 plus and a129 pro w polarized lense in two cars about a year. Just aim the camera so it’s about 1/3 sky and most field of view on the road ahead. Some models let’s you set when the HDR will on/off for night time, others won’t. If you’re not hardwiring it, you can use a large power bank battery to run in parking mode.”
“If you're going to be shelling out $150, skip the E2 - it uses a Starvis sensor (IMX335 specifically), not the superior Starvis 2 sensors that can easily be found in other cams at that price. For 10 bones more you could get an A229 Plus Duo at Amazon. Uses a Starvis 2 IMX675 for both front and rear cams”
