A329S 60fps Explained: When You Can Use It (and When You Can’t)

One of the most talked-about settings on the VIOFO A329S is 60fps recording. It gives you smoother footage and clearer motion, but it isn’t available in every set-up. This quick guide explains exactly when 60fps works, and how it interacts with HDR and the number of cameras you’re running, so you can set the camera up to suit your driving.

1. 60fps vs HDR

On the A329S, you can’t use 60fps and HDR at the same time.

• 60fps gives smoother video, which makes it easier to catch fast-moving details such as number plates.
• HDR improves image quality in high-contrast scenes, especially at night or in tricky light.

Both features need a lot of processing power, so switching one on automatically turns the other off.

The smart solution: HDR Auto mode

To get the best of both, the A329S has an HDR Auto mode that lets you schedule HDR by time of day:

• Daytime: HDR off, 60fps on
• Night-time: HDR on, 60fps off

Example: if you enable 60fps and set the Auto HDR timer from 7pm to 7am:

• HDR switches on at 7pm for better low-light clarity
• 60fps is disabled during that window
• At 7am, HDR switches off and 60fps resumes automatically

That way you always get the right mode without having to change settings yourself.

2. 60fps and the number of cameras

The other thing that affects 60fps is how many cameras are running.

Two channels (2CH): 60fps supported

With two cameras active, the system can record at 60fps.

Three channels (3CH): no 60fps

As soon as a third camera is enabled, the system switches to 3-channel mode and 60fps is disabled.

Flexible control of the third camera

The A329S gives you full control over the third channel. You can turn it on or off manually, or set it to Only On while Driving or Only On while Parking.

Example (using a cabin camera): if you enable 60fps and set the third camera to Only On while Parking:

• Driving: cabin camera off, system runs in 2CH, 60fps enabled
• Parking mode: cabin camera on, system switches to 3CH, 60fps disabled

So you keep smooth 60fps footage on the road while still getting full interior coverage while the car is parked. It’s a great set-up if you have the A329S 3CH with the fisheye cabin camera.

In short

60fps on the A329S is available when HDR is off and the camera is running in 2-channel mode. You can tweak these settings at any time to make the camera work the way you want.
