The VIOFO A229 Plus ... rated for an operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C (-4°F to 149°F) ... use supercapacitors, making them durable in high heat, though the Plus model has shown higher heat
What one Redditor said

I've already seen the remote access to be a bit annoying. I'll have to watch for the rear camera falling.

I own the Viofo A229 Plus triple channel being quite happy with it since purchasing back in Aug 2024.

I disabled that fancy stuff on my A229 Pro. I’ll collect the video and find my own accident when it happens.

I would have the a229 Plus. So I'm clear you turn off g sensor and impact detection?
r/Dashcamneutral1
This same screen happens to my a229 plus in the nevada heat(noticed the first month I had it), luckily it doesn't stay like that and is still doing fine.

If you run with the bitrate set to maximum, which is 53 Mbps combined for both front and rear, you'll get about 5.5 hours of recordings before normal videos are overwritten.

The dashcam, after the car is stopped, not moving, and there is no action in front of the cameras will go into parking mode and only after the time limit is up for your recording feed

I use Garmin's Constant Power Cable to power my Viofo A229 Plus.

Unfortunately, the parking mode shuts itself off after **1 minute** of recording.

My a229+ hardwired main unit was defective after days/hours of drive time trouble shooting, swapping cards and going back to hardwire install shop.
r/dashcamspositive2
The A229 series has been out longer so we know its reliability.
r/dashcamspositive2
The A229 Plus has a longer history and it’s been a longtime favorite.
r/VIOFOnegative3
A229 plus, in my opinion, doesn’t have enough power to do 60 fps front and 30 rear. Leave it at 30 fps and hdr for both.
