Vofo A229 Pro three-camera dash cam with dual Starvis 2 sensors and 4K output unveiled

Viofo has revealed a new flagship dash cam with dual Sony Starvis 2 sensors, 4K recording, and improved HDR for all three recording channels. Called the A229 Pro, the dash cam system is made up of a main unit with a front-facing camera recording 4K video with HDR at 30 frames per second through a 140-degree lens. Also included is a wired, rear-facing camera that records at 2K resolution through a 160-degree lens and shoots at 30 frames per second. The front and rear cameras both use new Sony Starvis 2 imaging sensors. The former is the 1/1.8in, IMX678 and the latter is the slightly smaller 1/2.8in IMX675. 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.
