I bought the 2 ch version. I am pretty happy with this but there are some bad things. The power plug should be on the camera body not on the gps, in this way you can not move the camera to another car, pr you can not power up the camera at home on the pc for example. The rear camera have lots of reflection. Cables are very bulky, the rear camera should have L shape plug. Voice commands are working only with your stereo off, if you have stereo on and listen some music it will be almost impossible to use voice commands. Boot starting it is little bit longer even if you setup off it will take about 30 seconds to start recording. The front camera it is really big compared with the other viofo, also the static pads for front camera are not working because of the camera weight. It my case the camera fell with that sticker and I had to use my own double side tape. The image quality it is great but you will not see too many license plates in motion, only some very close. Hdr need to be on in the night, otherwise the headlights light it will ruin the whole image and you will not see the plates in front of you.
So sorry to hear that you are not really satisfied with A229 Pro. 1. The rear port on the camera can also be used as a power port, so you can also take it home to connect the camera to your PC. 2. Yes, the rear cables are not thin as coaxial cables. But it will increase the cost if the coaxial cables are used because they need individual chips to support. 3. The A229 Pro is real 4K camera with screen, it will need more power consumoption and time to turn on completely. 4.Before sticking the static stickers, you'd better clean the windshield with an alcohol cloth to guarantee there is no dirt on it. Then it can be stuck tightly enough.
Voice commands are working only with your stereo off, if you have stereo on and listen some music it will be almost impossible to use voice commands. >>>>>> That is true with everything not only the cam...Try using your phone. It's the same thing......
Update:23 May 2024. Viofo has released a beta release of firmware that does allow control of the interior camera. Eventually this firmware will be released in their official web site. In the current release of the firmware there isn't the option to turn off the interior camera however it is very easy to unplug the earphone type plug and the camera will adjust to the new configuration. Thanks for the question
Thank you very much for the tips specially the cpl installation
Glad I could help.

@@ViofoDashcamOfficial There is NO rear port on the camera as you mentioned. The only power port is on the GPS.
@@nextwavel9817, we mean the port on the camera side for the rear camera can also be used as a power port.
The rear camera port doubles as the power connector. This is useful when you need to power the dashcam at your computer.
Thanks for the video. Can you turn on/off recording for interior cam?

I think that the time needed to download the videos depends on the duration of each video (1 minute by default), and hence the total number of videos.
Can you keep the screen on all the time ?
Check time stamp 19:25. 3Mins is Max display. Viofo do update their software so future updates might be changed.
