Viofo, let’s go! A229 Pro 3-Channel Dash Camera review (+ Vantrue Nexus 4 Pro shoot-out!)

We will release a new model called VS1 that may meet part of your desires, stay tuned.
A suggestion, could you please update the firmware in the future to solve the problem of the a229pro three camera version having only three camera options for video resolution and not being able to enable only one or two cameras. Because sometimes only one is needed, which is also to save space considerations,thanks

All the buttons on the camera have been endowed with functions, so there are no spare buttons to be used. To make it easier to plug/unplug, we have used a 3.5mm connector and type-c plug on the interior/rear cables. So you can simply unplug them when you just need the front one.

Thans for your reply.This is the settings interface for Vantrue n4, please refer to it。It should be easy to resolve by updating the software, without the need to improve the hardware。

Final Conclusion for heat testing with the Viofo A239 Pro vs. Vantrue Nexus 4 Pro.

I haven't encountered any further overheating issues with either brand, even in 41 to 43 Celsius heat here in Perth. The charts here seem to back this up, as the Viofo is already operating at a lower temperature baseline than the Vantrue: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threa...k-front-2k-rear-1080p-cabin.49828/post-611264


Going by the data collected, and our observations, I believe that Viofo's solution of turning off the camera to avoid overheating, is a better one. This will avoid any potential damage to the internal components, and it's implementation is well thought-out.
