What reviewers say about the VIOFO A229 Pro 3CH

TechRadar is the only whitelisted outlet with a hands-on review of the exact VIOFO A229 Pro 3CH three-camera package (front 4K + rear 2K + interior 2K). Over a week of real-world driving the reviewer found it easy to set up and very dependable, with excellent day-and-night 4K video and clever, unobtrusive camera units that fit even a confined, angled-windshield cockpit. The main caveats are a high price and the amount of wiring the three-camera install requires. As a single-source result, none of these findings could be corroborated by a second independent tester.
