VIOFO A129 Duo is a new dash cam just released at the end of 2018. This unit has been specially created to compete with the modern dash cams available in 2019. Compared to the previous A129 mode, the 2019 unit comes with an updated, fancier shape, CPL filter, and a better parking kit. The 2019 VIOFO A129 Duo dash cam model comes with a very discreet wedge-style design.

In addition to its updated look and feel and the 3-wire parking monitor, it has the same top features as the 2018 model: Wifi support, dual-band Wifi, CPL, Bluetooth integration, Sony sensor, supercapacitor, and GPS logger.

VIOFO A129 Duo – Design

The updated design of the VIOFO A129 Duo makes it look truly outstanding. You can’t but fall in love with its updated look and feel. This car surveillance camera looks quite discreet and includes 2 separate cameras that cannot be seen from the outside. The grey and black design blends in really good with the aspect of your vehicle.

Another great camera that has a similar aspect to this one is the EACHPAI X100. They both look similar and come with a minimalist, unobtrusive design.

VIOFO A129 Duo – Dual-Chanel System

VIOFO A129 Duo includes 2 separate cameras. The front one is attached to the main unit, while the rear one is connected to the unit through wires. Thanks to the dual-channel Sony sensor, you can record simultaneously with both cameras, in high-detail full HD. You can view both recordings on the screen in real-time. You’ll experience no lag or delay whatsoever.

VIOFO A129 Duo – Compact HD Screen

Even if the screen is quite small, you need to know that it goes hand in hand with the compact appeal of this unit. The 2.0” HD screen allows you to easily set up the cameras and control every single aspect related to recording. Moreover, you can view recordings in real-time. The fact that this unit is so compact makes it perfect for easy placement on your dashboard.

In case you need a top dashboard camera that has a larger screen of 4.0” and allows you for one-hand operation, we recommend you choose the Z-EDGE T4 Dash Cam .

VIOFO A129 Duo – Setting It Up

Setting up VIOFO A129 Duo takes more time then setting up a wireless dash cam, but it is not such a daunting task. The cable running to the rear camera is very long, so you can find the best set up route inside or outside your car. You can even wire this system in a limousine or an RV and still enjoy exquisite footage. All in all, you should not spend more than 10 minutes setting up this system.

The 3-Wire Hardwire Kit – A Noticeable Improvement

The installation kit comes with the standard cigarette lighter adapter and also comes with the modern 3-wire hardwire kit. Compared to the 2018 model, which only had the 2-wire kit, the new VIOFO A129 Duo 2019 has an improved, 3-wire kit. This improved kit adds better voltage protection and enables the battery to offer more power.  

It dramatically enhances the parking recording job by offering time-lapse, low bitrate recording & increased protection. In a nutshell, the new 3-wire kit is a much safer & reliable protection method when your car is parked. Together with the unit’s supercapacitor, it records any type of event and protects your vehicle against theft or hit-and-runs.

VIOFO A129 Duo – Recording Quality

In terms of recording, VIOFO A129 Duo is a dual – dash cam system that does really well. This unit comes equipped with a Sony Starvis sensor and a whopping F1.6 aperture. This enables the cameras to capture more light and allows the imaging sensor to release higher-quality footage. Thanks to the super night vision and Sony sensor, you will get to enjoy Full HD recordings with gorgeous clarity and brightness.

Moreover, this camera system comes with the CPL filter included in the package. Use this filter to dramatically reduce glare that comes from reflected surfaces. Moreover, this dual-camera system protects you from the common fish-eye distortion effect and allows you to record 4 lanes of traffic. Each camera records 140 degrees, totaling 280 degrees of lane view.

Record in Full HD with this device and share your footage with ease thanks to the Wifi, GPS and Bluetooth kits included.
