While I'm waiting for new firmware releases to be provided by VIOFO after their 8-day national holiday break, I thought I would upload some video samples of where things are right now with the VIOFO A229 Pro 3-channel configuration.
Daytime Footage:
The front camera firmware is a debug firmware to capture some image quality data for VIOFO to address a "blue flash" issue. I don't see the "blue flash" issue using this debug firmware which had some tweaks applied to try and resolve that issue. The normal status line text has been replaced by the debug data on the front camera footage and there is no status line text present for the interior and rear camera video.
Dash Camera: VIOFO A229 Pro 3CH
Firmware: v1.0_230922 Debug Front / v1.0_230901 Rear
Front Camera CPL Filter: Yes
HDR: Disabled
Firmware Bitrate: Maximum
Nighttime Footage:
I tested several versions of the front camera firmware to address HDR image quality issues for the front camera. This version seems to be working decently for the front camera. The rear camera's HDR image quality is okay for some illuminated objects/signs and poor for other illuminated objects/signs. I'm not a fan of the interior nighttime image quality. The thread piping around the edge of the front passenger seat shifts a lot and the pattern in the center of the front passenger seat is difficult to see.
