- 0:00 | hello folks it’s Christmas time at the
- 0:02 | time of filming this so uh people are
- 0:04 | sending me products to review and I’ve
- 0:05 | got this today it’s from voo or viofo
- 0:09 | it’s a 4K uh dash cam it’s called the
- 0:12 | a229 pro um and you’ve got forward and
- 0:16 | rear-facing cameras in here they’ve also
- 0:19 | sent me a 64 gbyte memory card um a
- 0:24 | Bluetooth remote control so basically if
- 0:27 | something happens and you want to make
- 0:29 | sure that piece of footage gets kept and
- 0:31 | it doesn’t get overwritten um you just
- 0:34 | literally press that so you have that in
- 0:36 | a convenient place on the dashboard or
- 0:37 | something just click that and that piece
- 0:39 | of footage will be saved forever and
- 0:42 | then we’ve got a hard wiring kit so
- 0:44 | obviously you get everything in here to
- 0:47 | plug the car in Via cigarette lighter or
- 0:49 | what have you um but if you’d rather get
- 0:51 | it hardwired and have all those cables
- 0:54 | neatly tucked out the way uh I’ve got a
- 0:57 | kit for that as well so they’ve sent me
- 0:59 | all of that um they’re not paying me to
- 1:01 | do this review but um I’m giving you my
- 1:05 | honest opinion on it they have said I
- 1:07 | can keep this but so I’m not sort of
- 1:10 | biased by the fact that they’ve given me
- 1:11 | a free product I’m going to give it away
- 1:14 | okay we’re going to have a giveaway
- 1:15 | coming up on the channel soon and this
- 1:18 | is going to be one of the things in that
- 1:20 | giveaway as you can see few buttons on
- 1:22 | there nice little color screen uh
- 1:25 | nothing else to speak of really so
- 1:26 | you’ve got the option here to record
- 1:28 | everything that’s going on in the front
- 1:29 | of the car everything that’s going on in
- 1:31 | the back of the car and also the
- 1:33 | interior of the car so you’re getting
- 1:35 | three in one with this particular kit so
- 1:38 | for this video I’m going to show you the
- 1:39 | front view and the rear view and we’ll
- 1:42 | also do a little test with that interior
- 1:44 | camera so let’s go and check it
- 1:47 | out recording three channels started
- 1:51 | right folks we’re on and recording the
- 1:53 | rear dash cam I’ve actually just mounted
- 1:56 | to the back of this screen so it’s
- 1:58 | actually showing you the front
- 2:00 | um I’ve done that just to
- 2:02 | avoid running the cables through to the
- 2:05 | back for what is going to be a very
- 2:06 | temporary thing you know I’m just trying
- 2:08 | to make a little video so you can see
- 2:10 | this thing in action and how it works so
- 2:13 | I don’t really want to start trading
- 2:15 | wires all around the car and
- 2:18 | um trying to find a place to mount that
- 2:21 | in the back of this excuse me so what
- 2:25 | we’re looking at now is we’ve got the
- 2:27 | front-facing
- 2:28 | camera um we’ve got the interior cabin
- 2:31 | camera hello and then we’ve got the rear
- 2:35 | view camera
- 2:37 | there
- 2:39 | now what I’ve used as the interior
- 2:42 | camera and the rear facing
- 2:45 | camera um look very very similar there’s
- 2:48 | a slight difference around the actual
- 2:50 | lens um so it may be you should have one
- 2:53 | plugged into the the other and vice
- 2:55 | versa but it all seems to be working so
- 2:59 | no issues with that really just want to
- 3:01 | give you an idea of the quality of this
- 3:04 | it’s a pretty dim glum day today there
- 3:08 | is a little bit of light around but it’s
- 3:10 | by no means good visibility good light
- 3:14 | so let’s see how it picks this up and um
- 3:18 | just see what you think this is
- 3:19 | obviously a 4k camera system uh a lot of
- 3:22 | them out there are 720p 1080p this one
- 3:25 | is 4K so the footage should be very good
- 3:29 | um
- 3:30 | obviously I can’t see it at the moment
- 3:32 | but you can but let me know your
- 3:34 | thoughts in the comments what you think
- 3:36 | of this footage do you think it cuts the
- 3:38 | mustard or do you think it’s a little
- 3:40 | bit na just let me know in the
- 3:44 | comments by the way as I said I’m going
- 3:46 | to be doing a giveaway with this unit
- 3:49 | and uh as part of a bigger Channel
- 3:52 | giveaway um very very
- 3:56 | soon but for the time
- 3:58 | being if you want to get hold of one of
- 4:00 | these there is an Amazon link below and
- 4:04 | a discount code so use that discount
- 4:07 | code on Amazon you’ll save yourself a
- 4:09 | few quid and
- 4:13 | um help support the channel at the same
- 4:18 | time I must admit the installation was a
- 4:20 | bit of a breeze obviously I’ve got
- 4:22 | cables everywhere at the moment but I do
- 4:24 | also have that hard wiring kit so if I
- 4:27 | were going to keep this I’ve got it’s
- 4:30 | got basically a dash Can built in um if
- 4:33 | I were to keep this and use it sort of
- 4:36 | on a more permanent basis I would
- 4:38 | certainly use that hard wiring kit and
- 4:40 | get everything tucked out of the way
- 4:42 | because you know if you just plug this
- 4:45 | in every time you use it you are going
- 4:47 | to have some cables knocking around
- 4:48 | particularly if you run you know the
- 4:50 | rear camera and the whole lot you are
- 4:53 | going to have a lot cable so I
- 4:55 | personally strongly recommend that hard
- 4:57 | wirring kit if you want to get this or
- 4:59 | or any other Dash count to be fair it
- 5:02 | just makes
- 5:08 | sense the unit itself is quite discreet
- 5:10 | I’ve got it mounted just up by the um
- 5:14 | wind the unit itself is really quite
- 5:17 | discreet I’ve got it mounted at the
- 5:18 | moment um just by the rear mirror and um
- 5:22 | yeah it just sits nicely out the way you
- 5:25 | could even do it a little bit further
- 5:27 | over and have it behind the um the sun
- 5:29 | VI
- 5:31 | it’s still quite easy to reach the
- 5:32 | buttons I said there is also that little
- 5:34 | bluetooth remote so if you want to put
- 5:37 | it really out of the way where it’s
- 5:38 | going to be difficult to touch any of
- 5:40 | the buttons and
- 5:41 | obviously you’re going to have to take
- 5:43 | your eyes off the road to touch any of
- 5:44 | the buttons um you can have that little
- 5:46 | bluetooth remote you literally just
- 5:48 | stick that on the dash one button
- 5:50 | something happens and you want to save
- 5:52 | that bit of footage just hit the button
- 5:54 | it’s as simple as
- 5:58 | that
- 6:02 | yeah we’ve got some headlights as well
- 6:04 | for the thing to contend with now
- 6:09 | um it’s a very washed out gray looking
- 6:12 | day today so I don’t know what the
- 6:14 | colors are going to look like on this
- 6:16 | camera but reality is it looks like the
- 6:18 | saturation has been turned down on the
- 6:20 | world today I’m going to end that little
- 6:23 | demonstration for you here folks I hope
- 6:25 | you um have enjoyed the footage and uh
- 6:28 | it gives you a good idea of what this
- 6:30 | thing’s like in the real world very very
- 6:33 | simple to set up as I said if I were to
- 6:35 | have one of these permanently I’d
- 6:37 | definitely want to go for that hard
- 6:38 | wirring kit and get it hardwired in but
- 6:41 | I’m a bit of a neat freak with things
- 6:42 | like that um but yeah great little unit
- 6:46 | all feels very good quality um very easy
- 6:49 | to set up it’s literally a OneTouch
- 6:51 | operation from what I’ve seen so far to
- 6:54 | do the majority of things and uh I don’t
- 6:57 | think you go far wrong with this you can
- 6:59 | can also obviously get an app and view
- 7:01 | things on your phone and all that kind
- 7:03 | of stuff I’m not going to do that in
- 7:04 | this video I really just want to give
- 7:06 | you an overview of the unit and um give
- 7:10 | you a sample of its footage folks if you
- 7:13 | want to get hold of one of these as’s an

- 7:17 | pinned as the top comment and if you use
- 7:18 | the little promo code that’s there on
