VIOFO A229 Plus 2CH 2K Dash Cam
Help me choose the right setup
Overview
The VIOFO A229 Plus is a dual-channel 2K front-and-rear dash cam with dual Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensors — sharp, balanced coverage of the road ahead and behind at a smart-value price.
Who it's for
The sensible choice for most drivers who want both front and rear protection without paying for 4K. Being rear-ended is one of the most common crashes, so a 2-channel setup like this covers the incidents you're most likely to face.
- 2K front + 2K rear
- Dual Sony STARVIS 2
- GPS + 5GHz Wi-Fi
- Parking mode ready
Pros & cons
Pros
- 2K front AND 2K rear — balanced, sharp coverage both ways
- Dual Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensors for strong night footage
- HDR keeps detail in tricky, high-contrast light
- Built-in GPS and 5GHz Wi-Fi
- Great value for a full front-and-rear 2K system
Worth knowing
- Parking mode needs the HK4 hardwire kit (sold separately)
- 2-channel uses more storage — use a larger card
- For 4K front, step up to the A229 Pro
- microSD card sold separately
A closer look
Covered front and back
A front camera only tells half the story. The A229 Plus records 2K front and 2K rear, so a rear-end hit, a merging dispute or a tailgater is captured with the same clarity as what's ahead — exactly the protection most drivers actually need.
Clear in any light
Dual Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensors with HDR pull in more light and handle high-contrast scenes — think tunnel exits and oncoming headlights — so your footage stays usable day and night.
Compatibility
The A229 Plus is a 2-channel (front + rear) dash cam. Add the VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit for parking mode, the RNF210 cabin camera for interior recording, and a VIOFO microSD card for storage. Ask us for help.
Installation
Mount the front camera behind the mirror, run the rear cable to the back window and power from the 12V socket — or fit the HK4 kit for parking mode. We can recommend a professional installer for a tidy 2-channel run.

Frequently asked questions
Is 2K front and rear enough?
For most drivers, yes — 2K is well above 1080p and reads plates clearly. If you want a 4K front camera, look at the A229 Pro (4K front + 2K rear) or A229 Ultra (4K both).
Why do I want a rear camera?
Rear-end collisions are one of the most common crashes. A rear camera records the impact and the other car's plate, protecting you where a front-only camera can't.
Can I add an interior camera?
Yes — the VIOFO RNF210 infrared cabin camera is compatible, ideal for rideshare and fleet drivers.
Does it have parking mode?
Yes, with the VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit, which adds low-voltage battery protection.
