VIOFO A229 Ultra 2CH 4K Dash Cam
Help me choose the right setup
Overview
The VIOFO A229 Ultra records true 4K front AND 4K rear with dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors — the most detail-rich 2-channel system in the A229 range, with a front CPL filter included.
Who it's for
For drivers who refuse to compromise on rear clarity. With 4K at both ends, the Ultra keeps plates readable behind you as well as ahead — ideal for those who want flagship-level evidence from every angle short of the A329S.

- microSD card sold separately
A closer look
4K at both ends
Most 2-channel cameras save money with a lower-res rear. The A229 Ultra doesn't — it records true 4K front and 4K rear, so a plate behind you in a rear-end or merging incident is just as readable as one ahead. Dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors keep that clarity after dark.
Premium touches included
A front CPL filter comes in the box to cut windscreen glare, and HDR handles tricky light. It's a genuinely premium 2-channel system — a step below the flagship A329S only in frame rate and Wi-Fi generation.
Compatibility
The A229 Ultra is a 2-channel (front + rear) 4K dash cam. Add the VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit for parking mode, the RNF210 cabin camera for interior recording, and a 256GB+ VIOFO microSD card for dual-4K 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.
