Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I set it to 12V. When the camera enters parking mode, it makes a sound and the light turns on. However, when the camera shuts down, the light goes off as well.”
“FYI, when you press save on an A229 (I have one), it saves BOTH cameras to the RO folder. Files in the RO folder don't get overwritten.”
“The 1st sd card has been RMA a while ago and this current one is in the works. I have a max endurance coming in the mail on Monday.”
“Oh, my bad, I got it in 229 pro and a friend of mine got it in some other model as well, so I thought it might be a common thing”
“Just hard wired mine today, why your’s looks more clear than mine. Did you use the lens cover? What’s your setting?”
“I have a A229 Pro as well, what telephoto did you buy? I thought only the A329 had the telephoto option”
“The other devices on that fuse box work perfectly. Someone else mentioned that the new camera might have different inputs of acc and batt power compared to the old one. Only thing i could think of is to swap those wires and hope it works. Thanks for the input.”
“I recently bought the Pro version. I find that I have to disconnect my VPN for it to work properly.”
“Yes, I use the lens cover. Make sure it is properly aligned. Setting is 4k, high bitrate, HDR auto.”
“Just front and back, they have an option for cabin cam but I don't have that on mine”
“Is there a chance is saved that block of time in the “locked” folder or whatever Viofo calls it? I disabled that fancy stuff on my A229 Pro. I’ll collect the video and find my own accident when it happens. With 500GB, I won’t accidentally go 30 days without saving my footage and end up with it being overwritten.”
“I have the same one and am also wondering this”
