REDTIGER F7NP 4K Front and Rear Dash Cam vs VIOFO A229 Plus 2CH Front and Rear Dash Cam
These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
REDTIGER F7NP 4K Front and Rear Dash Cam
A simple two-channel 4K setup on a suction mount, with a hardwire kit added later
The F7NP records 4K at the front and 1080p behind, on a suction-cup GPS mount with a 3.18-inch screen and a supercapacitor. Working temperature is -20C to 70C in both the manual and the maker's table. Parking mode needs an ACC hardwire kit, and the three sources disagree on the maximum card size.
Published specifications
- Manual: front 2160P/30, 1440P/60 or 1080P/120 alone; 2160P+1080P or 1440P+1080P with rear
- Manual: card 32GB-256GB; maker table says up to 512GB; listing says a 128GB card is included
- Manual: parking mode entry reads only connect the ACC hardwire kit; kit not in the box
- Maker and manual: supercapacitor; working temperature -20C to 70C (-4F to 158F)
- Maker: 5.8GHz Wi-Fi 6; no touch screen and no voice control on this model
- Manual: 18-month warranty with free replacement, plus 6 months after registering
Strengths
- Front and rear channels plus GPS logging with no subscription mentioned in either document
- Manual and maker agree on the -20C to 70C working temperature, which many listings never state
- Front-only modes reach 1440P at 60fps or 1080P at 120fps when the rear camera is unplugged
Caveats
- Manual caps the card at 256GB while the maker's table says 512GB, with no explanation
- Parking mode does nothing until you buy and fit an ACC hardwire kit
- Aperture is given as F1.55/F2.05, F1.8 and F1.5 across the three sources

VIOFO A229 Plus 2CH Front and Rear Dash Cam
Two-channel 2K recording when you will also buy a card and a hardwire kit
VIOFO's two-channel A229 Plus puts the same 5 MP STARVIS 2 sensor front and rear and runs on a supercapacitor. The manual makes the conditions plain: no card in the box, Class-10 or UHS-I up to 512GB, and parking mode only with a hardwire kit such as the optional HK4. Front 60fps and HDR cannot run together.
Published specifications
- Maker: 2-channel; front and rear Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 1/2.8 inch 5 MP
- Maker: 2K P60+2K P30 through 1080P30+1080P30; front 60fps unavailable with HDR on
- Manual: microSD sold separately, Class-10 or UHS-I, up to 512GB, exFAT or FAT32
- Manual: parking mode requires a hardwire kit; VIOFO HK4 listed as optional
- Maker: supercapacitor power; -20C to 65C operating, -20C to 70C storage
- Manual: 18-month product warranty, 24 months after registration; accessories 12 months
Strengths
- Front and rear use the same 5 MP STARVIS 2 sensor, so the rear channel is not a lesser camera
- Dual-band Wi-Fi with a 5GHz option, and no subscription or account is mentioned in either document
- Three parking modes plus entry and shutdown timers, parking G-sensor and motion sensitivity
Caveats
- No memory card included, and parking mode needs an HK4 hardwire kit bought separately
- Front 1440P 60fps and HDR cannot be used at the same time
- Listing and maker page give different field-of-view and aperture figures
