Viofo has announced its most advanced dash cam yet, the A329. It is the world’s first dash cam equipped with 4K 60fps video and could join our list of the best dash cams.
While other 4K dash cams are limited to 30fps, the A329 doubles the frame rates, ensuring it records smoother video footage with what is essentially double the information. Thus, it increases your chances of capturing vital details should an incident occur, like license plates.
Some other dash cams shoot 60fps video, but until now, they have only been at the less detailed Full HD 1080p resolution. The A329 offers the best of both worlds: 4K resolution and higher 60fps frame rates, which could prove crucial, especially in high-speed incidents.
That’s not all. Viofo, one of the leading names in dash cams, also says that the A329 is the first dash cam that supports external SSD recording. We don’t know the maximum SSD capacity that is compatible with it. Still, Viofo says recording directly onto an SSD drive rather than a micro SD can get you up to three weeks of continuous footage.
The Viofo A329 is available as a single front camera or dual front and back camera. At the time of writing, the single 4K front camera version is available now at a discount price of $329 / £258 / AU$502 (was $399 / £312 AU$608) at Viofo, while the dual camera version, which also includes a 2K rear camera, costs $399 / £312 / AU$608 (was $469 / £367 / AU$708) at Viofo.
