Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the Kenwood DRV-A310W GPS Integrated Dashboard Camera. I was looking for an affordable dashcam with a small footprint, I didn’t want to look like an Uber driver! The DVR-A310W fits these needs. Although this dashcam only records in 1080p, in playback I can still easily read the license plate and other details of the vehicle in front of me, especially when stopped. Colors are vivid and one you’ve downloaded a MP4 to your mobile device you can review it without being connected to the dash cam. I decided to let Best Buy professionally install the DRV-A310W. Technician Rob at the Wilmington NC store was very professional and completed the process in about 20 minutes. You can schedule any car installation directly from the bestbuy.com app, even when purchasing online. Be aware, just over half of the Best Buy stores in the USA have a mobile installation bay. My local store does not staff a mobile bay. Initial setup is performed on the 2” color TFT screen, setting time zone, time and the option to change the default password. Connecting to my Android phone was a snap, using the free Kenwood Dash Cam Manager app. The app supports configuring settings. Auto recording of audio is “on” by default, but can be set to “off” in the app. I really love the integration of the GPS info into the MP4 information, showing your driving location and driving speed during each minute of the cams operation, potentially saving me from a state trooper speeding ticket in court! Each MP4 file consumes 92 MB of data, working out to about 11 minutes of recording time per GB of storage on your microSD card. A microSD card is not included and supports up to a 256 GB microSD card capacity. On my Android phone, it took a bit of finding, as saved MP4 files are stored in the “Movies/Kenwood/MK2” directory. When reviewing, each date shows in BLUE the hours that vehicle recording was performed, then each hour is displayed up to 60 1-minute frames of video information. You can then save any of these (including multiple files) to your device. Once saved to your device you can then share these MP4 files as you could with any other Android app. I wish it had a one-touch button to toggle the mic and the ability to turn off the TFT screen while driving, although it can be set to a dim level. I did not find any issues with the app, which deserves better than the 1.8/5.0 rating on Google Play. It is a value priced product, I would recommend the DRV-A310W.

I wanted a camera in my car, and this compact model seemed like a good one to try. I have not had a Dash Cam before and was really impressed by how easy it was to install. I was concerned that it would be overly technical but in fact it was simple. The camera is compact and fits on my windshield really well, which is ideal. It fits nicely on the windshield and doesn’t obscure my vision for driving. When I had it in the car and turned it on, it was really simple to set up and program for my location, time zone and time of day. You just set your time zone, time, date and you are ready to go. You do have to purchase a mini SD card to record (which is important). There is a microphone also. The device has an app to use which is also really handy. Overall, this was super easy to use and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The camera is tiny, and picture quality is great. Installation is super easy. Literally mount it to the window and plug in the usb. It does come with extra 3m mount pads and a cigarette lighter socket adapter. This does come with a few drawbacks. It doesn’t come with a micro sd card. It also needs an accessory hard wire kit if your wanting it to do parking mode.

I was looking for a small, reliable camera for my car, and this one exceeded my expectations. The setup was incredibly simple—just mount it, plug it in, and you’re ready to go. The image quality is fantastic, capturing clear footage even in low light. I also appreciated the extra adhesive mounts and the clips provided to neatly hide the wires. This is a great choice for anyone wanting a high-quality dash cam without the hassle.

Maybe I'm alone, but I had expected something larger and wasn't happy about it. I don't know what my reference was, but when my son recommended a dash cam, I imagined something more obtrusive. I was delighted when I opened it and took a photo. He handled it for me and says it was easy to install. I don't even notice it on the dash. Still new to it, so don't have much else to share other than I trusted the name and was pleased by the small size. It's not rattling as I drive and just isn't noticeable.

I was worried about my view being obscured when I bought it but it is so small and sleek that my rear view mirror hides the whole thing! It also comes with a long power cord and four cord clips to that you can keep the cords out of sight as well. Video quality is great and it starts recording when you turn the car on. Great product.

Good HD dash cam with 2” LCD display. It captures clear images of license plates while in the dark or in well lit environments while driving. Easy install.

It was simple to install with the Kenwood hardwire kit. Records every minute of the last 40 hours with a good size microSD card. Image appears in high quality and have had no issues after a month of use.

Good camera, HD quality. It is easy to install but does not include a micro sd card. Overal its a good camera and does the job, not hardwired. Uses a cigaret lighteror usb.

Powerful recordings with everything you’d want in a dash cam. Setup was easy. They provide everything you need for installation. It also comes with clips to hide the wire. Took me about 30min to get everything snugged up. If you attach it in the recommended area you won’t see it while you drive. Love the HDR recordings for night driving, comes with built in GPS and you can play your videos through their app. It’s a quality dash cam that you’d expect from Kenwood.

Works great! Would definitely recommend his dashcam for your car.

This dash camera does exactly what it says it does. No complaints at all. it's super easy to install. I highly recommend this dash camera.

My daughter asked for a dashcam for Christmas. Unfortunately I have not been able to get it installed for her yet being she's on the move a lot and busy with school. Research I did prio to purchasing has me confident about the camera.

Great camera so far easy to use no problems whatsoever

This device does the job. Easy and simple to use. I’m glad I did a order pick up it doesn’t take a lot of space.

Had an associate recommend this Kenwood unit over the similar, more expensive but older Garmin 47. My preference was for a compact unit first, but not necessarily at the cost of image quality. Install was fairly quick with the included cord/power adaptor once I decided how to route and place the unit and wire. Small enough to easily be outside of direct vision, cord running from the trunk DC output of a VW golf. It's clear enough to read plates at night with HDR, so even if it's not HD crazy movie quality it's distinguishable enough. I installed in our 2 cars, first one took a half evening through tweaking/trial and error for fit and 2nd install was maybe a half hour. Syncing through mobile phone app takes a bit to download and transfer but their computer client is a pretty quick file transfer and view/edit including showing the speed/route. I'm quite satisfied for having a very minimal install/module that is pretty much set and forget.

I bought one of these and ended up buying a second because they work so great. It records with 1-minute segments so it's easy to find a specific clip based on the time. Video quality and sound quality are great. Easy to set up as well. Depending on your vehicle, you may need to unplug it when finished driving, one of my vehicles shuts the camera off but my other vehicle keeps the camera drawing power, not a big deal but worth noting.

I recently had a Kenwood dashcam installed by the Best Buy team, and the entire experience was excellent. The installation on my Genesis GV80 was completely seamless. The team did a great job hiding the wiring and integrating everything so it looks like it came from the factory. The dashcam itself has been working great so far. The video quality is clear, the system powers on automatically, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my drives are being recorded. I also appreciate how discreet the camera is—it doesn’t obstruct the windshield or take away from the interior of the vehicle. The Best Buy installation team was professional, efficient, and knowledgeable, which made the process smooth from start to finish. Overall, so far so good. I’m very happy with the purchase and the installation, and I’d definitely recommend a Kenwood dashcam if you’re looking for added security while driving.

After reading the directions the dash cam became easy to use and is not too big which is nice. I think it works great and the cost is where is should be. The only thing I wish the lens was a little wider.

The camera is really good and the fact you can add a SD card makes it easier to pull it out and look on your computer or use a insert to watch on your computer or phone the app is helpful as well gets the videos and shows you stuff you can do with it I highly recommend this device for your car or boat
