While the rear camera is only giving you 1080p Full HD, the front camera delivers a solid 4K Ultra HD recording quality. The VIOFO A129 Pro will make a lot of sense for a lot of different types of drivers.įor those who demand the best recording quality : We're talking about 4K Ultra HD. With the new advancements in parking mode features in the market, what the A129 Pro offers is relatively elementary, especially when the Thinkware U1000 offers the option of ultra -high frequency radar motion detection with the optional add-on RADAR module. If no further motion or impact was detected for 60 seconds, the camera will stop recording and returns to a standby mode until the next time motion or impact is detected. With buffered parking recording, the camera will automatically record a video sequence (from 15 seconds before the event to 30 seconds after the event) if the motion detectors are triggered. There are 3 options under parking mode: Auto Event Detection with Buffered Parking Recording, Time Lapse Recording and Low Bitrate Recording. Parking mode is definitely one of the weaker areas of the VIOFO A129 Pro. While VIOFO was able to deliver a true 4K UHD dash cam that rivals that of the premium name-brands, such as the Thinkware U1000, it lacks the advanced parking capabilities. Here’s a comparison table for a 1-min video in 4K at 30FPS: But with the A129 Pro, you can choose from 4: Low, Medium, High and Maximum. With the A129 and A119, you were limited to just high or low bitrate.

But if you running the front and rear camera simultaneously, video recording in the front camera is limited to 30FPS.Īnother upgrade we see in the A129 Pro is the additional bitrate options. You can also scale it down to 1080 Full HD at 60 or 120FPS. Resolution-wise, if you are using just the front camera, your options are 4K at 30FPS or 2K at 60FPS. In other words, you are losing about 5-degrees on each side, but in return you get 4x the video quality, so it’s really not a bad trade-off. This is actually 10-degrees less than that of the A129 or the A119.

The A129 Pro does have a smaller viewing field at 130-degrees. Ultra high definition is 4x more vivid than 1080p Full HD and the video recording quality is definitely a much-welcomed upgrade.Īdvanced video enhancement technologies including Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and Super Night Vision, cover a good span between day and night, bright and dark environments to ensure videos are of pristine-quality during the day, and crisp and clear with good definition and minimal noise and blurring at night. The lens has an 8.29MP Sony Exmor R Starvis image sensor to deliver crystal clear 4K UHD video quality at 30FPS.
