VIOFO A229 Ultra
The VIOFO A229 Ultra is a premium 3-channel dash cam with dual 4K front and rear cameras. This dash cam has excellent front video quality, strong night performance, and improved rear-camera performance over lower-resolution systems.
The 1080p interior camera adds cabin and side-window coverage. Parking mode is reliable, especially low-bitrate recording. Main drawbacks are high price, and not the best rear plate capture depending on lighting conditions.
