The VIOFO VS1 is VIOFO’s most affordable dash cam — a compact 2K unit with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor that punches well above its price tag. Includes a 32GB microSD card so it’s ready to install straight out of the box, with no extras to buy.
Quality That’s Usually More Expensive
Most dash cams under $200 use cheap, no-name image sensors that produce noisy, low-detail footage — the kind of video that’s barely usable as evidence when you actually need it. The VS1 breaks that pattern by using a genuine Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 — the same 5MP sensor as the rear cameras on VIOFO’s flagship A329S and A229 Pro models. The result is sharp 2K (2560×1440) recording with HDR, accurate colour, and genuinely usable low-light performance.
Includes 32GB microSD Card
Unlike most dash cams which require you to buy a microSD card separately (often $30–50 extra), the VS1 ships with a VIOFO 32GB industrial-grade microSD card included in the box. Fit it, plug it in, and you’re recording — no hidden costs, no second trip to the shop.
Ultra-Compact Form Factor
The VS1 is one of the smallest dash cams VIOFO makes — designed to mount discreetly behind your rear-view mirror where it won’t obstruct your view or attract attention. The minimalist screen-free design suits modern vehicle interiors and is barely visible from outside the car, reducing the risk of theft or vandalism.
5GHz Wi-Fi & VIOFO App
Built-in 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi lets you preview, download, and share footage to your phone via the VIOFO app — no cables, no SD card removal, no laptop required. Perfect for sharing footage with insurance or police directly from the roadside.
Built-in GPS & Smart Voice Control
Integrated GPS embeds speed, time, and route data directly into your recordings for accurate incident documentation. Smart Voice Control lets you lock footage, take a photo, or adjust settings hands-free with simple spoken commands — particularly useful in a small dash cam without a screen.
Three Parking Modes (with HK5 Hardwire Kit sold separately)
When paired with the optional HK5 hardwire kit, the VS1 supports three parking modes:
- Auto Event Detection (Buffered): saves footage before and after any impact
- Time-Lapse: records continuously at reduced frame rate to conserve storage
- Low Bitrate Continuous: normal recording at reduced bitrate for full coverage
The HK5 connects to your fuse box for constant power and includes low-voltage cutoff to protect your car battery.
Built to Last
The VS1 uses a supercapacitor rather than a lithium battery for internal power, delivering stable performance from -10°C to +65°C. No battery degradation, no swelling, no replacement cycle — important for NZ summer windscreen heat where lithium batteries struggle.
Ideal For
- First-time dash cam buyers who want quality without committing to a flagship price
- Second vehicles, partner’s cars, or family member’s vehicles where premium specs aren’t needed
- Buyers who want a complete plug-and-play package.
- Younger drivers, learners, or fleet vehicles where a compact, low-profile camera is preferred
