Overview
The VIOFO A229 Pro pairs a true 4K front camera with a 2K rear, dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors and an included front CPL filter — premium front-and-rear coverage that reads plates with ease.

Who it's for
For drivers who want 4K detail up front plus solid rear coverage. It's the sweet spot of the A229 range — sharper than the Plus, more affordable than the Ultra — and a favourite for those who want serious clarity without the flagship price.
- 4K front + 2K rear
- STARVIS 2 IMX678/IMX675
- Front CPL included
- GPS + 5GHz Wi-Fi
Want 4K behind you as well? The A229 Ultra records 4K front and rear. Happy with 2K both ways? The A229 Plus costs less. Our A229 Pro review goes deeper.
Pros & cons
Pros
- True 4K front (Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678) for outstanding detail
- 2K rear (IMX675) for strong rear coverage
- Front CPL filter included to cut glare
- HDR for clear high-contrast and night footage
- Built-in GPS and 5GHz Wi-Fi
Worth knowing
- Parking mode needs the HK4 hardwire kit (sold separately)
- 4K + 2K files are large — use a high-endurance card
- For 4K rear as well, step up to the A229 Ultra
- microSD card sold separately
A closer look
4K front, 2K rear
The A229 Pro puts the resolution where it matters most: a true 4K front camera using Sony's STARVIS 2 IMX678 8MP sensor for class-leading detail, backed by a sharp 2K rear. Plates stay readable front and back, day or night.
Glare handled, light handled
A front CPL filter is included to kill windscreen reflections, and dual STARVIS 2 sensors with HDR keep footage clean in low light and high-contrast scenes — the kind of conditions where cheaper cameras fall apart.
Installation options
Car charger (included, plug-and-play): plug into the 12V socket and tuck the cable around the windscreen trim, and you are recording in minutes. Recording stops when the socket switches off with the ignition, so parking mode needs a hardwire kit or a battery pack.
VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit (optional, unlocks parking mode): fuse-box power with a low-voltage cut-off that protects your car battery. The rear cable runs along the headliner to the back window.
VIOFO BP100 battery pack (optional, zero car-battery drain): charges while you drive and powers parking mode from its own cells, so the car battery is never touched. A good fit for EVs and cars left parked for long stretches.
Professional fitting: hardwiring means working in the fuse box. If you would rather not, we can point you to an installer. Our guide to dash cam power options compares every option.
