VIOFO VS1 Mini

Tiny camera. Proper 2K HDR.

The VS1 is a compact, screenless front camera built around the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor. It records 2K HDR at 30fps, adds dual-band Wi-Fi, direct USB-C phone transfer, GPS and voice control, and can rotate through 180° for flexible mounting.

• 2K 1440P HDR
• Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675
• F1.6 · 140°
• 2.4 + 5GHz Wi-Fi
• Built-in GPS
• Voice Control

The VS1 keeps the hardware discreet without stripping away the useful features. You still get STARVIS 2 imaging, HDR, fast 5GHz Wi-Fi, GPS, voice control, Bluetooth remote support and three parking modes — just without a screen taking up windscreen space.

Sony STARVIS 2 + HDR

2K resolution is only useful if the sensor can deal with real road lighting. The VS1 uses Sony's 1/2.8-inch 5MP IMX675 with an F1.6, 140° lens. HDR at 2K 30fps helps balance bright and dark areas in the same frame, particularly around headlights, street lighting and shadow.

2560×1440P · 30fps

More pixels than Full HD, paired with a sensor designed for difficult light. The VS1 records up to 2560×1440P at 30fps. The IMX675 sensor gives the camera more useful low-light performance than resolution alone can provide, while the 140° field of view keeps a broad section of the road in frame.

Less image noise and less blur around moving vehicles. The IMX675 is a STARVIS 2 sensor with a wider dynamic range than the earlier STARVIS generation of the same pixel size. In practice, that gives the processing more useful information to work with when the road is dark or vehicles are moving through the frame.

Small enough to disappear behind the mirror on many vehicles. There is no built-in display to compete for space or attention. Setup, live view and playback are handled through the VIOFO App, leaving the camera body focused on recording.

Voice Control

Common actions without reaching up to the camera. Voice control is particularly useful on a small screenless camera because it avoids turning routine actions into a phone interaction. English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese voice control are supported.

GPS context

See where the recording happened, not just what the camera saw. Built-in GPS records location, speed and time information. Download the video before viewing GPS map data in the VIOFO App.
