Any details on the polarizing filter?I made a customized CPL for the rear cam, how do you think?

Yes, please @viofo make a 1M cable for the A229 Pro REAR camera.
The 6M REAR camera cable is just too much to tuck in the headliner for those users that want to mount the front unit, and the REAR camera on the same window.
Please, please, please.
Since the HDR of the rear camera is always on and there is no way to turn it off, the rear camera on the windshield is of no use during the day.I'm mounting both the front and rear camera on the same window.

But the interior camera does its job very well on the windshield both day and night.
This topic contains screenshots from the interior and rear cameras installed on the windshield.

Having a 4K camera at both front and back makes sense.My plan is to put two A229 Pros 2CH in my car, two in the front, and two in the rear. I'd like to have one of the front cameras in the rear window instead of prioritizing only the front, if that makes sense.
There isn't really an issue, except that currently, if you turn HDR off on the front camera during daytime, you do get an improved image quality, if you look closely, I think because it currently uses better exposure settings, and because of that people are assuming that turning HDR off on the rear camera would also result in better image quality, except that you can't currently turn it off. I'm not sure that it is a valid assumption though, and we can't test it to find out, so it is what it is, pretty decent 2K HDR image quality, day and night! It is definitely not correct to say that the rear camera is literally "of no use during the day", and it will definitely work just as well on the front as on the rear, in fact HDR is of far more use on the front at night than on the rear, because your headlamps are far brighter than your tail lamps.I'm not sure I understand what the issue is with HDR on in the rear camera during the day. Ghosting/blurry license plates?

Here’s daytime footage filmed simultaneously with two A229 Pro’s (firmware 231208).I'm not actually sure that the front camera is currently better with HDR Off during the day,
Plates are barely visible with hdr off, they look much better with it on.Here’s daytime footage filmed simultaneously with two A229 Pro’s (firmware 231208).
One has HDR on, the other has HDR off.

Yes, at 13:58:03 on the dashcam clock, the HDR On is considerably better at reading the plate directly ahead of us.Plates are barely visible with hdr off, they look much better with it on.
I'm confused.
You're going to buy two units of A229 Pro 2-CH Rear.
You're going to put the A229 Pro Front & Rear on the front window (both looking at the road).
And do the same on the rear window, (both front & rear looking out at the road).
Or, are you going to adjust the rear cameras to show the passenger compartment?

The A229 Pro is available as a 1-CH.I wish there were a 4K Starvis 2 single-channel Viofo camera, then I'd just buy four of those,
Yes, we can resend you one.@viofo can you please offer a 1-meter cable for the A229 Pro rear camera? Like @Panzer Platform mentioned above, I'm mounting both the front and rear camera on the same window.
Thank you.
Hah! I had checked only at Amazon, which has only the 2 and 3-channel versions.The A229 Pro is available as a 1-CH.
Why not buy 4 of those?

8 POV’s sounds awesome.I just got four of the 2-channel one. 8 cameras in the car -- totally overkill, but oh well
720° vision?8 POV’s sounds awesome.
I hope you make a post showing all POV’s in action.
