Vofo has unveiled its latest dash cam, the A229 Pro. The Vofo A229 Pro is a three-camera dash cam with 4K and dual Starvis 2 sensors. Its rear-facing camera records at 2K while the interior camera records 1080p content. The Vofo A229 Pro is a flagship dash cam with two Starvis 2 sensors and improved HDR recording in all three channels. The dash cam system consists of the main front-facing camera that records 4K video with HDR at 30fps, a wired 2K rear-facing camera, and a 1080p interior camera.
The main camera has a 140º lens while the
rear-facing camera has a 160º lens and shoots at 30fps. The new Sony Starvis 2
imaging sensor is featured in both the front and rear cameras. The front sports
the IMX678 while the rear camera has the IM675 sensor. The interior camera is
an optional accessory to create the three-camera dash cam system.
The 5MP rear camera of the Vofo A229 Pro
has a dynamic range that is 2.5 times wider than the earlier Starvis iteration.
The 8MP front camera also comes with significant improvements over its
predecessor. It delivers footage with less noise and minimal motion blur. The
fact that the cameras are HDR-capable is a major talking point for them. The
dashcam also supports voice controls and multiple languages including English,
Chinese, Russian, and Japanese. It has a microSD card and automatically saves a
45-second pre and pro-impact recording of a crash.
The Vofo A229 Pro is wired to the car’s
system and has a power supply whenever the car is operational. The model is available
in the US and prices start at US$ 329.99 originally but are now reduced to US$ 299.99.
