Frequently asked questions
Will it record 24/7 with the car off?
Only with the optional HK4 hardwire kit. Default install runs off the cigarette lighter and turns off when the car turns off. Hardwire kit enables motion-triggered parking mode.
What SD card size is supported?
Officially up to 256GB. The community has reported 512GB high-endurance cards working but they are not officially supported.
Does the rear camera need wires through the cabin?
Yes. The rear camera connects to the front unit with a single 20-foot coaxial cable that tucks under the headliner and door trim. Installation is a 30-minute DIY job.
How does it compare to the A229 Pro?
The Pro upgrades the front camera to 4K and adds a slightly better night sensor. For nightly commuter use, the Plus is the smarter buy; for evidence-grade 4K, step up to the Pro.
