Any confirmed news on a new RearView

[duck7621]

I see the spec on the box says 1080P Full HD. The normal RTC300 is 2.5K (IMX675). I wonder if that is the non-HDR IMX307 which is used in the A229 interior camera?

Perhaps this is a compromise of connecting a telephoto to the 3.5mm interior camera port?

Thank you for confirming this. I misread the box details which clearly say rear camera, not telephoto. Sorry for my mistake.

Most likely the seller made a mistake in the description. If you look at the photos on the seller's page, you can see the inscription RC300 on the packaging.

Bummer if it was a typo.
Paging @viofo. Any updates.

 

[Karagandinez]

Bummer if it was a typo.

What's the problem?
The only typo is in the camera's marking RC320=RC300, but it does what it says it does.

I have an A229 Pro with the regular rear cam that came in the original 2CH setup.

If I were able to get the updated rear cam and the telephoto would it all just work with the A229 Pro unit? I’d take a guess there would need to be a firmware update (looks like the rear cam firmware is back up and I think it’s an updated version) to make it work?

Of course, everything would work. Nothing should interfere.
I have A229 Pro + telephoto and I can connect the interior camera and everything will work.

Thanks. So of if I wanted to do this I would order the RTC300 and RC320?

RTC300 is on the Viofo website, but as for RC320, you need to check with the manufacturer.

For those who do not have an form of A229 Pro setup, there is new A229 Pro Tele 3CH kit available, here's the link from what I believe is the Canadian website (or at least it is picking it up as CAN for me): https://www.viofo.com/products/viof...-camera-3-channel-hdr-sony-starvis-2-sensors?

This contains the two external cameras I mentioned in my previous post.

A cool feature the Viofo.com web site has it can on the fly change the price depending in which country you are in so your link will work (doesn't have every country but covers many with Euro )

You can find this on the top right hand corner of the Viofo web home page.
