This means it’s storing more information per frame of video and so it’s throwing away less information. One of the reasons the video quality is so good is that Viofo records at a higher bitrate than many other dashcams. The top notch video quality is one of the main reasons I love the A129 Pro.

See this video for complete comparison testing. In fact, the A129 Pro’s video quality solidly outperforms even the top-of-the-line Blackvue DR900X and even sometimes the Thinkware U1000, but at a fraction of the price.

Stepping up to the 1440p A129 Plus with 2x the resolution of 1080p and you’ll find it’ll do a better job of capturing those details a little farther away.įinally, if you step up to the 4K A129 Pro with 4x the resolution of 1080p, you’ll see a very noticeable bump in capturing license plates. The 1080p A129 does a good job with license plates up close, but it will struggle with details a car length ahead. The higher the resolution, the farther away and the better the dashcam will be able to resolve important details.

The biggest differences you’ll see between models are in the dashcam’s abilities to capture important details like faces and license plates. There’s some slight differences in white balance, but the all otherwise will work great to capture whatever happens. They all do a great job of recording everything around you with a 130-140° viewing angle. Video quality with the A129’s are among some of the best in class. I also prefer a doublestick tape mount over a suction cup since it leads to more stable video without a bunch of vibration in your video clips. I like it because it offers a second power port so instead of plugging power into the dashcam directly, you can plug the power cable into the mount instead, making it a snap to quickly mount and unmount the dashcam. The quick release GPS mount lets you log your location and speed as you drive. Press that when something important happens and will lock the current video clip to ensure it doesn’t get overwritten when the memory card fills up. The big round button in the middle is your emergency record button. The buttons on the bottom allow you to configure the settings, start and stop recording, disable the microphone, enable WiFi, etc. The LCD on the back lets you change settings, aim the dashcam, and watch recorded footage.

Taking a closer look at the Viofo A129, the front camera is compact and lays basically flat against your windshield. Since the dashcams are otherwise so similar, let’s quickly at the pros and cons of the A129’s before diving into the details. It’s only the front camera’s resolution that varies.

Now there’s three different versions of the A129 that all share the same core features. The A129 is an updated version of the A119 v3 that I’m a big fan of, featuring an updated case design, WiFi for easier file transfers to your phone, and the ability to plug in an optional rear facing camera to record behind you. The A129’s are available in single channel (front only) or dual channel (front and rear) configurations. They may not have some of the fancy bells and whistles like cloud connectivity capabilities, but for a solid dashcam that works great recording everything while you’re driving or while you’re parked, this is my go-to recommendation. Their compact wedge-shaped design is sleek and unobtrusive.
