When to Choose VIOFO A229 Ultra 2CH
Drivers who want the best dual 4K video quality with excellent night vision at a reasonable price
The VIOFO A229 Ultra 2CH delivers the best bang-for-buck in the dual 4K dash cam segment. Both front and rear cameras use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors for outstanding day and night footage. It lacks cloud features, but for pure video quality and reliability, it's hard to beat at $330.
Strengths
- 4K front + 4K rear with dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors — best dual resolution available
- Exceptional night vision thanks to STARVIS 2 technology on both channels
- 5GHz Wi-Fi for fast footage transfers to phone
- Reliable supercapacitor design withstands extreme temperatures
Limitations
- No built-in LTE or cloud connectivity — local storage only
- ADAS features are basic compared to Thinkware or BlackVue
- Requires separate hardwire kit for parking mode
When to Choose Vantrue E1 Pro
Drivers who want a compact, discreet 4K front camera with voice control and GPS
The Vantrue E1 Pro packs impressive 4K quality into one of the smallest dash cam bodies available. Voice control and GPS are welcome additions at $150. It's front-only, so pair it with a separate rear cam if you need full coverage, but for a single discreet camera, it's excellent.
Strengths
- Compact mini design fits discreetly behind any rearview mirror
- Voice control for hands-free recording management
- STARVIS 2 sensor delivers excellent night footage for its size
- GPS built-in with speed and location stamp on footage
Limitations
- Single-channel front only — no rear camera option
- Small size means no built-in display for playback
- Wi-Fi transfer speeds are slower than 5GHz competitors
