![]() The Viofo engineers have been working assholes & elbows to perfect the image quality for release, and it will continue to improve as time goes on. It was delivered with firmware 0912, then we got 0915, and now we have 0925. ![]() The A229 Pro I received on 9/11/23 is a pre-production model, and I’ve been comparing it to my A139 Pro (STARVIS 2 IMX678), and A119 Mini 2 (STARVIS 2 IMX675) for the past two weeks. The built-in light sensor is more accurate, and quicker to respond to changes in ambient lighting conditions, (switching back and forth between color & black and white).Īnd the IR Cut Filter has gotten rid of that annoying purple hue on dark colored objects during daytime recordings. I’ve found it has better low light sensitivity, so it can maintain full color until lighting conditions drop so low that it engages the IR LED Emitters, and switches to black & white. ![]() The 3.5mm jack is now the output for the IR Interior Camera.īut, I’m pleased to report the A229 Pro has retained the excellent audio quality of the built-in microphone from the original A229 Duo.Īs a consolation, after some preliminary testing I’ve found the IR Interior camera to be much improved over the A139 Pro’s IR Interior camera for three reasons.ġ.) Image Sensor upgraded from STARVIS IMX291 to STARVIS IMX307ģ.) Built-in Light Sensor with IR Cut Filter When I first learned the A229 Pro had grown into a 3-Channel model I was kind of bummed because I just knew it meant I was going to lose one of my favorite features, (3.5mm External Microphone Jack Input). The biggest news / improvement with the A229 Pro 3-CH over the A139 Pro for me so far is it’s capable of maintaining 30fps for all the 3 channels, (A139 Pro 3-CH drops to 24fps), and the FRONT camera can maintain the full 60 Mbps Bitrate in 2-CH configuration with the REAR camera, (2-CH configuration with IR Interior drops the FRONT camera to 36 Mbps =( The A229 Plus has a 2K60fps resolution option, I’ll make a separate Test & Review thread just for the A229 Plus.Īnd we get Voice Commands on both the A229 Pro & Plus, this is especially welcome because it makes purchasing the $20 optional Bluetooth Remote Lock Button unnecessary.Īnd being able to turn On/Off the Wi-Fi without having to touch the main unit is really helpful in day to day interactions to change settings, download clips, format SD Card, etc. I’ve had the Original A229 Duo installed in my car since July 2022, and I’ve become fond of the good quality 2K rear camera, and the excellent built-in microphone audio quality.īack when I reviewed it my Cons for the Original A229 Duo were Ģ.) No Optional CPL Filter For Rear Camera It was the first 2-Channel dash cam to offer 2K Front & Rear with Sony STARVIS 1 IMX335 image sensors. Last year they released the Original A229 Duo (May 2022). Viofo is back at it again with another industry first.
