VIOFO CPL Filters
Overview
The CPL filter is designed to remove glare and reflections, resulting in better-contrasted image quality, with vivid colors, even in bright lights. It clips over the lens housing, and the lens can be rotated to best suit the camera’s mounting position in the vehicle.
The VIOFO CPL Filter can:
- Protect the camera lens from fingerprints, scratches and dirt
- Reduce reflections and glare from glass, metals, snow or other shiny surfaces that would reduce image quality,in the same way as polarized sunglasses
- Make colours more saturated and videos more beautiful
- Be used during day time and at night

VIOFO CPL Filter is not compatible with any IR rear cameras. Dash cam not included with CPL.

Front + Rear VIOFO A229 CPL Filter
The front CPL filter for the A229 fits nicely around the lens of compatible models. You can twist the lens itself to adjust the level of polarization. There is a small white line on the CPL that lines up with a white line on the camera, located at the top center of the lens. This does not need to be strictly followed but should act as a baseline.
The rear camera CPL and the VS1 CPL filter are attached to the camera with adhesives, and polarization cannot be changed. Simply peel the adhesive covers from the CPL and apply them to the compatible camera.

FAQ
What is Parking Mode?
Parking mode is offered on most of the dash cams available at BlackboxMyCar. While it is important to protect your vehicle while driving, it is just as important to have your vehicle protected while it is parked. When the dash cam is in parking mode, footage will only be saved when there is an impact and/or motion. Parking mode can be enabled with a hardwiring kit or a battery pack.
For more information on parking mode, click here.
What is a Hardwire Kit?
A hardwiring kit enables parking mode. It allows your dash cam to remain powered on even when the vehicle’s ignition is turned off. Installation is a breeze as you will only need to find an accessory fuse, constant fuse, and a grounding point.
What is a Battery Pack?
Most customers purchase the battery pack to avoid using the vehicle’s battery to power their dash cam. The battery pack is charged by either being hardwired into an accessory fuse or by being plugged into one of the vehicle’s 12-volt cigarette sockets. We recommend the hardwiring the battery pack as it charges the battery pack quicker.
