What is the difference between the A329S 2CH, A329S 3CH, and A329T 3CH?
A329S 2CH — This version features two channels: a 4K front camera and a 2K rear camera, providing high-resolution protection for both forward and rear views, ideal for everyday drivers wanting essential dual-angle coverage.
A329S 3CH — Builds on the 2CH by adding a 2K fisheye cabin camera with a 210° ultra-wide field of view and infrared LEDs for excellent interior recording in low light. It’s perfect for ride-share drivers, taxi services, and families who want complete front, rear, and interior surveillance.
A329T 3CH — Also a three-channel system but replaces the standard fisheye cabin camera with a 2K HDR telephoto camera featuring 4× optical zoom, enabling clear capture of distant license plates and road details. All three cameras (front 4K, telephoto 2K, rear 2K) use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors for strong HDR performance in various lighting conditions.
In summary:
- A329S 2CH: 4K Front + 2K Rear
- A329S 3CH: 4K Front + 2K Rear + 2K 210° Fisheye Cabin (with IR LEDs)
- A329T 3CH: 4K Front + 2K Telephoto (4× optical zoom) + 2K Rear
What video quality does the A329S record?
The A329S records the front camera in 4K at 60 fps and the rear camera in 2K with HDR, delivering ultra-sharp footage of road signs, license plates, and critical details.
What are Sony STARVIS 2 sensors?
The dash cam uses Sony STARVIS 2 image sensors in both front and rear cameras, offering excellent low-light performance, improved dynamic range, and clearer night recording than standard sensors.
How does HDR improve video quality?
HDR (High Dynamic Range) helps balance bright and dark areas in your footage, making details visible even in high-contrast lighting (e.g., sun glare, tunnels, shadows).
Does the A329S support parking mode?
Yes. With a hardwire kit (HK6 or HK4), it supports Advanced Hybrid Parking Mode and Low Power Impact Detection to monitor your vehicle while parked without draining the car battery.
What is Hybrid Parking Mode?
Hybrid Parking Mode uses time-lapse, low-bitrate, or event-triggered recording and automatically switches to impact detection based on voltage or timer cut-offs — offering smarter, adaptive protection.
What is Low Power Impact Detection?
When parked, the dash cam stays in ultra-low standby and wakes up quickly upon impact to record a short video (about 1 minute), capturing key incidents while preserving battery life.
Do I need a hardwire kit for parking mode?
Yes. A hardwire kit like the HK6 must be installed to enable full parking mode features, including Low Power Impact Detection and Hybrid Parking Mode.
Can I use an external SSD with the A329S?
Yes. The A329S supports extended storage via external SSD (up to 4 TB) using USB-C, which is perfect for long drives or fleet recording without relying solely on microSD cards.
Yes. It features Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, allowing fast wireless transfers of videos to your smartphone via the VIOFO app (up to ~30 MB/s).
Does the camera have GPS tracking?
Yes. Integrated GPS logs speed, time, and location using multiple global systems like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou — viewable in the app or desktop player.
What size memory card should I use?
Use a high-endurance microSD card (128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB) for reliable loop recording and parking surveillance. Cards designed for dash cams or security cameras are recommended.
Does the A329S support loop recording?
Yes. Loop recording ensures continuous footage by overwriting the oldest files when the memory card fills up.
How does the A329S react after a collision?
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts and automatically locks the footage so it won’t be overwritten, providing reliable evidence.
Yes. Sony STARVIS 2 sensors with HDR provide improved night visibility and clarity even in low-light environments like city streets or parking garages.
Does the dash cam drain my car battery?
No — with the proper hardwire kit and low power impact detection mode, it stays in standby and records only when needed to reduce battery drain.
What processor does it use for recording stability?
The A329S is powered by a Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 processor, ensuring stable high-resolution recording, fast GPS logging, and responsive Wi-Fi connectivity.
Can the front camera record smooth motion?
Yes — the front camera captures at up to 60 fps for smoother video playback and better detail in fast motion (e.g., highway driving).
Is voice control supported?
Yes, the dash cam offers smart voice control and spoken alerts for status updates, memory card issues, and recording mode changes.
Is this dash cam suitable for fleet vehicles?
Yes. Its advanced recording, parking mode, GPS logging, and extended storage support make it ideal for fleet owners who need reliable documentation and monitoring.
What are the key benefits of the A329S?
The A329S combines 4K + 2K HDR recording, advanced parking modes, Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, Wi-Fi 6, GPS, and external storage support — giving full coverage, superior clarity, and smart protection for every drive.
What’s the difference between HK4 and HK6 hardwire kits?
- HK4 Kit: Enables standard parking modes
- HK6 Kit: Enables low-power and hybrid parking modes, plus voltage-based battery protection
Does it come with a CPL (polarizing) filter?
Yes, a front CPL (Circular Polarizing Lens) filter is included to effectively reduce dashboard glare and windshield reflections, resulting in clearer, higher-contrast footage—especially in bright daylight conditions.
It is optimized for the front camera and helps improve overall image clarity and color balance. The rear CPL filter is optional and can be added separately for enhanced rear recording performance when needed.
Can I view or download footage to my phone?
Yes. Using the Viofo app, you can wirelessly transfer videos via high-speed Wi-Fi 6 for quick preview and download directly to your smartphone.
For even faster transfers, you can connect the dash cam via USB 3.0, enabling ultra-fast file downloads to compatible smartphones or computers—ideal for transferring large 4K video files in seconds.
Can the A329S operate in high temperatures?
Yes. The A329S is designed for extreme weather conditions and uses a supercapacitor instead of a traditional lithium battery, making it significantly more heat-resistant and stable.
This design improves long-term reliability and safety, especially in hot climates like Saudi Arabia, where in-car temperatures can become very high during summer months.
Is the A329S suitable for 24/7 parking surveillance?
Yes, it supports multiple advanced parking modes to ensure continuous vehicle protection while parked:
-
Low Power Impact Detection (requires HK6 hardwire kit) – The camera stays in ultra-low power standby and automatically wakes up to record when an impact is detected, helping protect your car without draining the battery.
-
Hybrid Parking Mode (requires HK6 hardwire kit) – Intelligently switches between recording modes based on voltage and timer settings, combining smart protection with efficient power management.
-
Standard Parking Modes (require HK4 hardwire kit) – Includes Time-Lapse Recording and Motion Detection, allowing continuous monitoring with reduced file size or event-based recording.
With the proper hardwire kit installed, the dash cam provides reliable 24/7 surveillance for your vehicle.
Is a memory card included with the dash cam?
No, a memory card is not included and must be purchased separately.
The A329 supports high-endurance microSD cards up to 512GB, ensuring stable continuous recording, especially when parking mode is enabled. It also supports external SSD storage up to 4TB via USB-C, providing extended recording capacity for long trips or fleet use.
For best performance, it is recommended to use a dash cam–grade high-endurance memory card.
