Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
The A329S 2CH is for buyers who want the best-documented front-and-rear system here and are willing to wire it in. Viofo names a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor (1/1.8-inch, 8 MP) recording 4K at 60 fps at the front and an IMX675 (1/2.8-inch, 5 MP) recording 2K with HDR at the rear. It claims roughly 2.5 times the dynamic range of first-generation STARVIS sensors; that is the maker's comparison, not a measurement we saw.
Storage is the other strength: microSD cards up to 512 GB, plus external SSDs up to 4 TB over USB 3.0. Wi-Fi 6 on 5 GHz is quoted at up to 30 MB/s for downloads, and GPS is built in. Viofo lists five parking modes; its low-power impact detection draws under 40 mA at 12.6 V and starts recording in under 2 seconds, while hybrid parking needs the separate HK6 hardwire kit. Coolblue confirms that no hardwire kit is in the box and that video is saved as H.265.
Gaps: the pages we read do not give bitrate, field of view, operating temperature or the power-backup type. At €380 at Coolblue it has no reviews there yet, and we found no readable independent test.
