Viofo A129 Duo vs Viofo A229 Pro

“I've been having an issue ever since weather has even moderately warmed up: the A229 Pro powers on when I start the car, but within a minute, chimes noise as it powers back down. No type of indicator showing an overheat issue or any other error codes. If I unplug the cord and plug it back in, it will stay on the rest of the drive. This is not an issue that ever happens when its below 60 degrees outside. Only when it is warm and the sun is out. For reference I reformatted my SD card and I have been using viofo wires and the viofo cigarette lighter adapter for power. Very frustrating since it ruins the reliability of having a dash cam. Given the cost of the A229 pro, it should run flawlessly.”

“You will be hard pressed to find any dashcam that can capture registration plates in the dark, let alone one for £30. My £170 (at time of purchase) Viofo A129 Duo which has the best sensor on the market at the time of purchase, struggles to pick up registration plates in the dark, even with a polarised lens attachment fitted. If you are planning on upgrading, find a dashcam with the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor built in as this is the best sensor available at the moment that has HDR ability and will be better in low light conditions - any camera with this sensor will also have capacitor power rather than an installed battery which is better for longevity.”
