VIOFO announced geofencing for selected dash cams. Owners can save up to three safe zones so parking recording changes once the vehicle is turned off.

A dash cam clip only helps if it survives the loop, carries the right time and reaches whoever needs it intact. After three weeks with the S1 4K Infinite, here is how it reads plates after dark, how to get footage off it, and the settings that keep the loop from recording over the evidence.

Parking mode needs power that outlasts the ignition. Two of these six ship with it, four need a cable you buy separately, and one wants a subscription too.

A third camera that watches the cabin in infrared changes what a dash cam is for. After two weeks with the A329S 3CH, here is who that camera serves and what it costs in frame rate, storage, wiring and the duty you owe your passengers.

VIOFO announced the T340 Series, T330 Series, A149 Pro Duo and BP60 battery pack. No prices or release dates were given for any of the new products.
Cameras and Security
If your car alarm keeps going off, disarm it with Unlock, then look for an ajar warning, a pressed Panic button or a 12V battery problem.
Cameras and Security
A backup camera that won't turn on points first to the reverse signal or screen. A blank camera view points to power or video; a hazy one points to the lens.
