About VIOFO
VIOFO describes itself as an action camera and dash camera company, and its range today is built around dash cams. Its site lays out the starting idea as a belief that a dash cam should feel like part of the car rather than a bulky gadget, and should stay reliable and deliver clear evidence in tough real-world conditions. VIOFO says it moved away from suction-cup mounts to compact, discreet cameras that blend in with the vehicle, and that it builds supercapacitor-based models instead of traditional batteries to improve reliability in extreme heat.
The lineup runs from front-only cameras in 4K and 2K to two-, three- and four-channel systems, with rear, cabin and telephoto cameras, hardwire kits, battery packs, CPL filters, a Bluetooth remote and microSD cards sold alongside. On RevRated, two A129 series dual-channel cameras, the A129 Plus Duo and the A129 Pro Duo, are among the top picks in our dash cam reviews.

Why we recognized VIOFO
The RevRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our category roundups. VIOFO earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: checked against the specs, fitment data and verified buyer reviews, and judged on merit.
VIOFO products we rated highly
VIOFO A229 Plus Dual Dash Cam
A dual-channel camera with Sony STARVIS sensors on both the front and the rear camera. The front channel records 2K 1440P at 60fps with a 140 degree field of view. Power comes from a supercapacitor rather than a lithium battery, and a built-in GPS logger records speed, route and coordinates alongside the footage. Built-in Wi-Fi is included.

VIOFO A229 Pro 4K Dual Dash Cam
The front channel records 4K 2160P at 30fps on an 8MP Sony IMX317 sensor, with a switchable 2K 60fps mode for when frame rate matters more than resolution. The front lens is F1.8 with WDR, and the rear camera records 1080P on an IMX291 sensor. A buffered parking mode saves footage from before and after an impact, and the camera adds dual-band 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, a GPS logger and support for an optional Bluetooth remote.
