Best overall: Viofo A229 Pro 2CH. For most drivers who want excellent front/rear recording plus reliable parking mode, it is the strongest value: 4K front, 2K rear, strong low-light performance, GPS, Wi‑Fi/app support, and practical parking modes when installed with the correct hardwire kit or dash-cam battery pack.

If parking mode is your top priority, pick Thinkware U3000 2CH instead. Its radar-assisted parking mode can reduce power use and help monitor the car longer, though it usually costs more.

If you want cloud features and remote alerts, choose BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus, but budget for the add-ons and subscription/connection setup that may be needed.

Important: any front/rear dash cam’s parking mode depends heavily on installation. For true parking recording, plan on a hardwire kit with low-voltage cutoff or a dedicated dash-cam battery pack.
