Exceptional Imaging in Any Environment
In the realm of dashcam recording, image quality matters. Whether you’re traveling, enjoying weekend road trips, or daily commuting, the dash cam clearly captures your whole journey. That’s why the A329 comes equipped with the best imaging technology.

4K Front + 2K Rear Recording
A329 supports 4K front and 2K rear recordings for extreme clarity and stunning details. Powered by a powerful Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 chipset and Sony’s latest STARVIS 2 technology, it captures license plates and every intricate detail with remarkable accuracy, ensuring exceptional clarity both day and night.

For users who want to enable HDR, simply switch to 4K 30fps for HDR recording, giving the ability to capture vibrant colors and crisp details in different lighting conditions.

HDR Enhanced Vision
With advanced Sony STARVIS 2 and HDR technology, the A329 dash cam balances extremely bright and dark areas, revealing details and capturing accurate license plates even in fast move from both front and rear recordings. Especially ideal for nighttime recordings.

Innovations in Dashcam Technology
With a series of useful innovations and upgrades, A329 offers an even smoother user experience:

Faster, Smoother 4K Streaming with Wi-Fi 6

This ensures a user-friendly experience, delivering sharp visuals and smooth playback for immersive viewing.

*HDMI cable is not included. A micro HDMI to HDMI cable is required for connection.

Upgraded USB 3.0 Port for Fast Downloads to Phone
The dashcam features an upgraded USB 3.0 port for seamless connectivity to your smartphone, enabling ultra-fast downloads of photos and videos. Specifically, the download speed reaches up to 55MB/s on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This direct connection also facilitates effortless firmware updates, ensuring access to the latest features and optimal performance.

*For USB 3.0 high-speed transfer, a USB 3.0 cable is required but not included in the packing list. USB 3.0 data transfer is only compatible with devices that support USB 3.0.

Outstanding Features
The new A329 brings a host of outstanding and intelligent features for improved user experience.

Smart Voice Control & Notification
A329 comes with an advanced voice control feature, which allows you to start/stop recording, take photos, turn on/off WiFi, and more with simple spoken commands in multiple languages (English/Chinese/Russian/Japanese/Vietnamese/Thai). This can be especially handy if you’re driving while you keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Its voice notification supports multiple languages and clearly notifies drivers of setting changes or memory card errors, keeping drivers always fully focused on the road.

Accurate GPS Tracking
A329 features a state-of-the-art Quad-Mode GPS module. By integrating 4 global satellite positioning systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou), Quad-Mode GPS can simultaneously access signals from multiple constellations, achieving positioning faster and greatly improving positioning accuracy and stability.

Whether in urban areas between tall buildings, or mountainous areas with complex terrain, the Quad-Mode GPS takes advantage of the geometric distribution of various satellites to increase 3D positioning precision for a more accurate driving trajectory. It provides detailed location, speed, and time data of the vehicle when playing back the video on the VIOFO App or upcoming PC player.

Advanced Parking Mode
A329 also comes with three parking modes (optional HK4 hardwire kit is required), auto event detection, time lapse recording, and low bitrate recording, providing 24/7 surveillance of your car while parked and giving you peace of mind. The dash cam will switch to Parking Mode automatically when the vehicle ignition is turned off, and the parking mode and recording timer can be set in the VIOFO app. The Low Voltage Cut-off function will protect the car battery from excessive discharge.

Included Accessories

All-New Car Charger
A329 is equipped with an all-new car charger that redefines convenience and performance. This new car charger boasts supercharging capabilities and features two Type-C ports, making it ideal for powering your dash cam and other mobile devices simultaneously. Its practical design ensures that you can keep multiple devices charged on the go. Additionally, the charger includes a thoughtfully designed indicator light, providing enhanced visibility and ease of use even in low-light conditions.

Circular Polarizing Lens
A CPL (Circular Polarizing Lens) filter can be used to reduce reflections and glare off glass and road surfaces, bringing improved image clarity and contrast.

*Both front and rear cameras support CPL filters. The CPL for the front camera is included while the CPL for the rear camera is optional.

Optional Accessories

Bluetooth Remote Control
A329 is compatible with VIOFO’s new Bluetooth remote control BTR200, which can be positioned in a convenient location for safe and easy use while driving.

The BTR200 Bluetooth remote control features three buttons, namely the Video Lock Button, Mic Button, and Action Button.

Looking ahead, from 1 July 2026, the Australian Government’s Solar Sharer Offer (SSO) will provide eligible households with three hours of free daily electricity to align with peak solar generation. Households with larger batteries will be well placed to make the most of this opportunity.

Fox ESS is also working with local VPP partners, including Amber Electric and Origin Loop VPP, helping homeowners unlock maximum value while supporting greater grid stability.

Maimai Comes Alive at the Exhibition

Visitors to the Fox ESS stand experienced a full programme of brand activations across the event. Following the online announcement, Sydney served as Maimai’s first physical stop, bringing the community together for face-to-face engagement. Attendees queued to take photos with the brand’s friendly and recognisable mascot.

Long-Term Commitment to Australia

Fox ESS has opened two local offices in Melbourne and Sydney, with more than 30 dedicated specialists supporting local customer needs. The company is also looking to play a wider role in Australia’s energy transition.

Notably, Ian Thorpe made his first in-person appearance at Fox Night, where he presented partners with awards. At the event party, Fox ESS also hosted a battery installation challenge, featuring eight rounds of competition, with the final winners receiving a range of prizes.

“We’re delighted to see such a strong result following the rollout of local policy. With nearly 400,000 Australian households now installing batteries, Fox ESS has played a key role, but this is only the beginning. We’re committed to keeping momentum and helping make a smarter, more reliable energy future a reality for more homes.” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director, Fox ESS.
