VIOFO A229 Ultra 3CH 4K Front+4K Rear+1080P Fisheye Cabin Dashcam

The VIOFO A229 Ultra 3CH is VIOFO’s most complete three-channel dash cam in the Ultra series — combining a 4K front camera, a 4K rear camera, and a 1080P infrared cabin camera. All three channels feature Sony STARVIS 2 sensors for exceptional image quality, with IR illumination on the cabin camera for clear interior recording day or night.

Three Channels. Total Coverage.

Where most 3-channel dash cams cut corners with low-resolution rear cameras, the A229 Ultra 3CH delivers 4K front, 4K rear, and 1080P IR cabin — making it one of the most capable rideshare and fleet dash cams on the market. You get full evidence-grade front and rear recording, plus a dedicated interior camera that records clearly even in pitch-black conditions.

• Front: 4K (3840×2160) with HDR — Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 (8MP)
• Rear: 4K (3840×2160) with HDR — Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 (8MP)
• Cabin: 1080P with infrared illumination — Sony STARVIS 2 sensor for low-light cabin recording

Infrared Cabin Camera — See in Total Darkness

The A229 Ultra’s interior camera uses infrared (IR) illumination to record the cabin clearly even when the lights are off. Conventional cabin cameras turn into a noisy, useless image at night. The IR cabin camera produces a sharp, well-lit black-and-white image regardless of cabin lighting — critical for late-night rideshare drivers, taxis on shift work, and any vehicle where interior incidents may happen in low light.
The IR LEDs are invisible to the human eye, so passengers won’t see any light from the camera — meaning no glare, no distraction, and discreet recording for the driver’s protection.

Sony STARVIS 2 — All Channels

All three cameras use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors — the front and rear use the flagship IMX678 (8MP), while the cabin uses a STARVIS 2 sensor optimised for low-light IR recording. This is a meaningful upgrade over typical 3-channel dash cams, which often use cheap, no-name sensors on the cabin or rear cameras to keep costs down.

4K Rear — Read Plates Behind You

Most rear cameras top out at 2K or 1080P. The A229 Ultra’s 4K rear means you can read licence plates of vehicles behind at distances no other 3-channel dash cam can match — essential for capturing detail of tailgaters, hit-and-run incidents, or aggressive drivers in your blind spot.

5GHz Wi-Fi & Direct USB-C Transfer

Built-in 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi lets you preview and download footage to your phone wirelessly via the VIOFO app. For larger 4K transfers, you can also connect your phone directly to the camera with a USB-C cable for speeds up to 20MB/s — useful when you need to share dash cam footage immediately after an incident.

Quad-Mode GPS

The A229 Ultra features an advanced Quad-Mode GPS module that connects to GPS, BEIDOU, GALILEO, and GLONASS satellite networks simultaneously, giving you faster lock and better positioning accuracy than single-system GPS. Speed, time, and route data are embedded directly into your recordings for accurate incident documentation — particularly valuable for rideshare/fleet drivers needing to verify routes and stops.

Hybrid Parking Mode (with HK6 Hardwire Kit)

When paired with the optional HK6 hardwire kit, the A229 Ultra supports Hybrid Parking Mode — the camera begins in standard parking recording, then automatically switches to ultra-low-power impact detection as your battery voltage drops. This protects your vehicle for days, not just hours, without risking a flat battery. The HK6 also displays real-time battery voltage on the video overlay via Bluetooth.

Smart Voice Control

Hands-free voice commands let you lock footage, take a photo, start or stop recording, or toggle Wi-Fi without taking your hands off the wheel — particularly useful for rideshare drivers needing to discreetly lock footage during a difficult passenger situation.

Built to Last

The A229 Ultra uses a supercapacitor rather than a lithium battery for internal power. This means stable performance across an extreme operating range (-15°C to +65°C) and significantly longer service life — no battery degradation, no swelling, no replacement cycle. Particularly important for fleet vehicles operating in hot conditions where lithium batteries fail prematurely.

Ideal For

• Rideshare drivers (Uber): protection against false complaints, route disputes, and difficult passenger situations
• Taxi and shuttle operators: evidence for fare disputes, lost property claims, and incident documentation
• Fleet vehicles: driver behaviour monitoring, accident reconstruction, and passenger safety verification
• Driving instructors: review lessons with both road footage and student behaviour captured
• Family vehicles: peace of mind when teenagers or new drivers borrow the car
• Choose the A229 Ultra 3CH if rear plate evidence and night-time interior visibility matter most”
