VIOFO - A329S

Yes, but I’d recommend a dashcam with higher resolution than 1080p. Preferably 2.5K* or 4K. I like Viofo.

My thought as well. The SD card must be the higher-quality Extreme or Industrial use. You may experience irratic behaviors that are unexplainable in some cases. The lower quality SD cards can be more exposed to vibration while writing to the card. The speed on the higher quality are much faster, ~190 Mbs per second enabling writing your video clips to the SD less read/write errors or video loss. The lower quality SD card writes about ~100Mbs per second also half the speed of the higher end. I have owned Viofo for at least ten years and have not been disappointed. The continue to add features or benefits to their product mix. I have undated the firmware to the latest version. Like any technology updating your firmware that is recommended by the OEM is key to any satisfaction. The A229 and 329 dash cams have very fast video and snapshot photos or parking mode. THIS would probably explain your to slow message when it reads the card or formats the card it sees a low speed transfer or read/write. Anyways, Best dash cam I have used.

There are two advantages to using two single channel dash cams rather than a two channel dash cam. Redundancy, and longer record time. Any dash cam is better than no dash cam. The best dash cam I am aware of is the Viofo A329, It does better than most at night, but all dash cams are bad at night (motion blur and over exposed license plates).

If you're looking for a turnkey solution, the Dongar Pro is still available. https://dongar.tech/products/dongar-pro. It's more expensive, but it does have a built-in parking mode system, which is good if the dashcam you're using does not have its own parking mode. I ended up returning the Dongar, not because of anything wrong with it, but because my dashcam (Viofo A329 Pro) has its own proprietary parking modes. For my dashcam, I ordered the hardwire kit (Viofo HK4) and spliced it with the Subaru wiring harness (part H501SSG010). This allows me to use the native parking mode in my dashcam. Let me know if you need pictures of the Subaru harness spliced to the Viofo HK4 hardwire kit.

I responded to your question on the other thread, but let me add more color the response here. All of these solutions use the OEM dashcam plug that's present in all current gen Siennas (2021+). So you wouldn't be altering any factory wiring on your Sienna - just plugging something into it. If you happen to find a vanilla Dongar (which is not even available anymore), that only provides power to the dashcam based on the ignition state. If you get the Dongar Pro, that has its own built-in parking mode and it's good for dashcams that do not have its own parking mode. Since you have a Viofo A329, that has its own proprietary parking mode. That being said, both the Dongar and the Dongar Pro will work. But if you want to use the Viofo native parking modes, then you will need to buy the Viofo HK4 hardwire kit and splice it into a 5-pin connector (I used the Subaru wiring harness H501SSG010). You would just be messing with the wiring with the Viofo HK4 and the Subaru wiring harness, so your Sienna wiring is not modified at all.

Unfortunately, I haven't done much research into the Roav dashcams. What model is it? Generally for a dashcam's native parking mode to work, it's going to need some signals coming from the vehicle. I believe it's three wires minimum: 1) Ignition - tells the dashcam if the car is on or off 2) Continuous power - so the dashcam can keep drawing power when the car is off 3) Ground The Dongar non-Pro (discontinued) only has ignition. So once you turn off the vehicle, the dashcam turns off. The Dongar Pro - has it's own parking mode, so you wouldn't even need to use the native parking mode on your Roav.

If you just want a good front dashcam, the Viofo A119 v3 will fit the bill. I put the A329 in because I wanted the better image quality and rear camera. Was worth the extra shekels. Buy once, cry once, if you can budget a bit more. Whatever you get, make sure you get a high or max endurance microSD card.

I have had the Viofo A329 for about 10 months as my first dash cam. Very reliable product so far. I don't think you will go wrong with either of those.

I've Viofo A329. I liked that one as that's the only one that supports SSD storage which is better than memory cards.

Viofo A329 or A229 Pro, those are the only decent dashcams I know where you can get a half decent footage and legible license plates.

I use Viofo A129 on my cars. It’s top-rated for a reason - good price, 4K video recording, wifi connectivity, capacitor-powered (instead of batteries that bloat and degrade in heat), front and rear cameras. Newest model is now the A329.
