If you’re in the market for a dashcam that delivers sharp, clear video (during the day or the night) and comes loaded with features, the Viofo A229 Pro might be a good option at $299.99 (down from $399.90)—especially if you’re after something that covers you from all angles. Its front camera records in 4K and has a wide 140° viewing angle, and the rear camera isn’t too shabby either, offering 2K resolution and a 160° view. That’s a lot of ground covered. The interior camera is reportedly decent, too, with 1080P resolution and night vision supported by infrared LEDs.
You can tweak the camera angles, access GPS, toggle audio or HDR recording, set loop intervals, and more through its companion app. If apps are not your thing, you can manage all the settings directly from its 2.4″ LCD. Videos are stored on a microSD card (up to 512GB), though you’ll need to buy that separately. As for the wifi connection, while it’s useful for firmware updates and downloading footage to your phone, it’s reportedly slow, which could be a bit frustrating.
It has a promising voice control feature, but users have mentioned you might need to speak up or repeat commands a few times for it to work, which isn’t great when you’re trying to stay focused on the road. It also offers 24-hour parking monitoring with three different modes, but to use it, you’ll need to purchase the Viofo HK4 hardwire kit, adding to the overall cost. On the upside, it uses a supercapacitor, which is said to handle heat and high temperatures better than the lithium-ion batteries you usually find in dashcams—perfect if you live somewhere warm and need your gear to stay cool.
The Vantrue N5 is another option at $307.99, down from $399.99.
