VIOFO was built on a simple belief: a dash cam should feel like part of the car—not a bulky gadget—and it should stay reliable, delivering clear evidence when it matters most. At a time when the market was filled with bulky designs, unreliable batteries, and poor video quality, we stepped in to solve the problems others ignored. We moved beyond intrusive suction cups to create compact, discreet dash cams that blend seamlessly into your vehicle. We were among the first to introduce supercapacitor-based models, replacing traditional batteries for greater reliability and safety in extreme heat. And by continuously integrating advanced Sony sensors and HDR technology, we ensure drivers capture clear, dependable footage—day or night.

The app is horrible. The camera overheats if kept plugged in order to keep monitoring while parked. It’s not easy to operate and if you want properly installed without seeing all the wires hanging all over you car, you need to hire a professional. It cost around $200 to have it professionally installed and connected directly to your fuse box. It’s extremely hard to connect the camera to your phone. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Sh!t3….
Sh!t3….. when I needed it the most it let me down!!!!!!!
I went to get the footage off my phone, nothing, the app was asking me to set it up. WTAF I had set it up, 3 or 4 months ago when I bought it.
Nope, something happened in the meantime and I needed to set it up again. No warning, nothing, so I thought ok, I’ll set it up again, pushed the little WiFi button, connected my iPhone and went back to the app. Nope, can’t connect to the WiFi even tho my iPhone still has it as connected.
I’m in my work carpark battling with this piece of absolute trash, in the end I gave up.
Brought it into the workshop, and beat the absolute granny out of it with a lump hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never again will I even spit on a voifo dash cam!
I had a Nextbase for over a decade, never let me down. I gave it to my wife as it’s still working now.
If it wasn’t for the fact I’m buying a Tesla model 3, I’d have a Nextbase Dashcam in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!
I’m absolutely furious with vois!ite

Read fine print or get stuck
Horrible camera system and the company is even worse. Do not trust them. You have 14 or 90 days to return depending on what you read. You have to pay postage back to China unless you request a USA address to ship back but either you have to pay postage back. Buyer beware. 250 down the toilet for me I refuse to deal with the scammers anymore. Buyers beware. Do not purchase through Viofo . I did and now I deeply regret it. My installer suggested it would not stay with adhesive system when hot outside. I tried to return it and it was less than a week after receiving it. First thing Viofo emailed me after receiving pictures was that it had been installed because they saw the adhesive on the camera. Really? Then they informed me I had to pay return shipping. Awful experience.

I stumbled upon VIOFO while hunting for…
I stumbled upon VIOFO while hunting for a new action camera, and let me tell you-it was a total letdown. The website was slow, the product descriptions were vague, and the checkout process was a nightmare. I waited forever for my order, and when it finally arrived, the camera was damaged. Terrible service, terrible experience. I’ll never shop here again.

Very disappointing parking mode on the VIOFO A329S
I honestly regret buying the VIOFO A329S.
For a camera in this price range, the parking mode is extremely disappointing. Low Power Impact Detection can trigger just from closing a door, yet a light impact to the rear of the vehicle may not trigger it at all. And even when it does detect an impact, the camera wakes up after the event, so it may completely miss the actual hit.
The other parking modes use significantly more power, and the “solution” seems to be buying an additional expensive battery pack. After already paying a premium price for the camera and professional hardwire installation, that is ridiculous.
What bothers me most is that these parking mode issues have been discussed for months and firmware updates still haven’t made the system reliable. I bought the A329S expecting a premium dash cam with dependable parking protection. Instead, parking mode feels unfinished and unreliable.
The driving footage is decent, but definitely not good enough to make me overlook all of this. If parking protection is important to you, I would seriously think twice before spending this much money on an A329S.

This is a dishonest business that lies…
This is a dishonest business that lies without giving it a second thought. I ordered the A229 Pro and delivery was promised for 2 days later. On delivery day, nothing showed up and I had to reach out to VIOFO. I was told that it was "in transit" then "about to be shipped" then "not in inventory" and finally "we're not sure when it can be shipped." So clearly they made a sale and didn't have the product in inventory. And then lied about it. I asked to cancel the order and was told that this isn't possible, as there is an issue wtih my payment. Hmmmm... I paid when I ordered and the money was taken from my account.
VIOFO lied about having the product, shipping the product and getting paid for the product that they didn't ship. And now won't cancel the order. Some businesses grow and figure out how to do so. VIOFO seems to be a business that has grown and is having massive issues learning how to manage that growth. If you read online reviews their products are failing at a higher rate and they are shipping the wrong product far too frequently for a business that sells consumer electronics. And their customer service is a joke - no help provided and no possiblity of speaking with an actual human being. I was stuck with "Linda" who assured me that despite her company stealing money from me, that everything would be fine and it would be best to just wait until the order ships and then return the product to Amazon. This company lies and can't manage their own inventory. Avoid at all costs.
