The VIOFO A329S 2CH front and rear kit is the best VIOFO dash cam for most Australian drivers who want the top shelf. The front camera records 4K at 60 frames per second. That is 60 images a second instead of the usual 30, so a number plate flashing past at highway speed stays readable instead of smearing. The rear camera records in 2K. You also get Wi-Fi 6 for fast clip downloads to your phone.Read G
VIOFO A329S Triple Starvis-2 Dashcam [FULL REVIEW]: Undisputed KING 💪🏻Watch B
The VIOFO A329S is the dash cam most other dash cams will be measured against in 2026. Real 4K-60FPS, dual STARVIS 2 sensors, Wi-Fi 6, and SSD storage aren't incremental upgrades — they redefine what evidence-grade footage looks like. For Saudi drivers specifically, the supercapacitor design and proven heat tolerance close the deal.Read Z
>> Feels quality. It does. >> Yeah, feels like proper quality. This is not cheap as stuff. And the rear camera. >> What else does it come with? >> Data cable, USBC. This is cigarette lighter charger, but we don't need that. More cables front to the rear. And you got a lens.Watch H
The A329S 3CH is a genuinely impressive piece of equipment that delivers on its headline specs. The 4K front footage is excellent, the 210° fisheye cabin camera is class-leading, and the rear camera punches above its 2K spec. For anyone who wants the most complete three-channel coverage available, this is the one to buy.Read T
And in one word, amazing. I'm hesitant to call anything perfect because it's genuinely hard to define what perfect dashcam footage would look like, but VIOFO comes about as close as I've seen. The footage is so well balanced that they didn't need to over-sharpen it, push the colors, or lean hard on contrast to make plates, road signs, and everything readable.Watch S
The A329S is one of the most configurable dash cameras I’ve used — you can build roughly 11 different setups from the same main unit. The main unit supports four firmware (A329S, A329T, A329W, A329TC), letting you add a telephoto, fisheye interior camera, or extra waterproof cameras for commercial use.Read V

And honestly, I'm really excited about these. I'm going to be installing them in both of my cars as my new primary dash cams. And I'm going to be upgrading from the A229 Pro in one car and the original A329 in the other car to these new updated A329 models.Watch B
Nevertheless, the VFO option is going to be more convenient. It's going to be cheaper and you are going to get better video quality. Now, with Thinkware's implementation, it would keep the front video camera file separate, but then you would have like this uh integrated combined video file for all the different add-on cameras.Watch S
And there are also a bunch of other features that you'll only find on higherend dash cams like this new A329S from VFO. So, this A329S not only has the latest high-res Star Viz 2 sensors from Sony, it also has three channel capability, so you can capture what's going on in front of the car, what's going on behind the car, and even inside the car all at the same time.Watch V
I have a Viofo A329S front, rear and interior dashcam system and am loving it so far.Watch M
This is the widest coverage footage that I've ever seen in my life. And I tested many dashcams, as you know. Many dashcams can record footage of your driving from the front of the car. And some can also record from the rear. Some good dashcam system can also record the interior. But this model A329S, which is made by Viofo, can cover 140 degrees wide angle at the front, 160 degrees wide angle at tWatch Y

And this is the BOPO A329S. Now, this is an advanced dash cam that supports up to three channels, all equipped with Sony Starbase 2 sensors for really high image quality. Additionally, it has the ability to record to an external solidate drive, so you are no longer limited by the memory card capacity of this. You can carry an insane amount of video on that solid state drive.Watch F Facebook Viofo Dash Cam · owner

You get a good feel of it. It feels heavy. It feels very solid. You can see all the nice metals on the side as well. And they've always got that signature LCD screen on their device as well. So, this right here, before they had a 2-in screen, and now with this one, it's 2.4 in. Not only that, if you wanted to review your footage, you can also do that on the device itself.Watch C
Something really cool about the A329S interior camera is that not only you can mount it wherever you want, but you also have an access to a fisheye which gives you a lot more visibility what's happening inside of the car. And then of course in the dark you'll have night vision which is really awesome. Special thanks to VOFO for sending this out for review alongside with all these accessories.Watch V r/VIOFO u/SummitingMtJohnston · owner

So, for those that don't know, VOFO is my absolute favorite dash cam that I have in every single one of my cars. As you guys can see behind me, I have my Audi RS3, and I have Vofo's front and rear dash cam in this car. This is the older model. So, as you can see, I have the VOFO dash cam tucked away right over there in the corner with the polarizer on it.Watch F Facebook Debarshi Das · owner

Daytime driving video quality is fantastic at 4K and high bit rate. Details are clear and license plates can be read in most cases, even if the car is speeding by you. The polarizing CPL filter really improves the video quality by removing those distracting windshield reflections. And I think it's great that it's included with the front camera. Nighttime video quality is also very good.Watch T
I’ve never seen a dashcam as configurable as the VIOFO A329S.Read W
And here spoiler alert, the A329 T3CH seems to be the most interesting proposition, at least in my opinion, because it is the most effective camera for recording front and rear of all the video recorders available on the market. Finally, we have the A329 line with the suffix W, i.e. a line with one or two waterproof modules.Watch C
I am going to give you my honest opinions, both good and bad, but I do genuinely like it, which is why I'm going to hardwire it into my daily driver. So, let's get this installed. I always start with the main camera. I like to get it up high behind the mirror on the passenger side. That way, the camera gets the best view of the road and it doesn't block my field of view from the driver's seat.Watch T
Through all of my testing, I honestly am very happy with all of the images, regardless of whether it's at two or 4K. All three of these cameras are equipped with the Sony Starvis 2 sensors.Watch J
And honestly, if we do this right, this is one of the cleanest setups I've seen. It's going to look like it's come straight from factory. And the good news is we can install this without drilling, cutting any single wire if we plan it properly. All right, front camera's going right here behind the mirror. Cabin camera just below it, and the rear one's going on back glass.Watch T
Overall, the VOFO A329S offers professional-grade recording, versatile app controls, built-in GPS, and voice commands, making it a solid investment for safety conscious drivers.Watch

Thanks for the video Vortex. I've had my A329S for a few weeks now and couldn't be much happier. Is anyone else having a hard time updating the firmware through the app itself? Every time I try to do it, I always get a "Cannot connect to server" message. Doesn't matter if I'm connected to Viofo's wi-fi or my own wi-fi provided through my ISP.Watch T
One thing I don't see, which would have been handy, is some fuse taps, cuz not everybody wants to cut into wires and solder in fuse taps. Remove a fuse, place this one on top, piggy back off it, and get your power that way. And it just leaves it nice and OEM with no cutting necessary. I think all dash cam manufacturers should provide some sort of fuse tap with a hard wire kit. But it's a minor thiWatch A
The A329S has Wi-Fi 6 for fast data transfers (although the mobile companion app feels slow and would need some improvements, especially on iPhone), Bluetooth, voice control, a built-in microphone, and support for microSD.
