Q: Can you see a live view of the camera from the smart phone app?

A: In a way yes, It's kind of tedious getting it to live view. you have to stop recording on the camera. Then you have to connect to it via wifi and then open the kenwood app and view it that way. and record that way if you want to keep live view going. definitely not simultaneous.

Q: When I start my car, the screen stays black. The blue ‘on’ light is on. I have unplugged it multiple times and even tried to reset the dashcam. Is there a way to help this?

A: Hello, Always the same ? I buy this dashcam 1 week ago and I have the same problem. The shop change my camera but still the same. Thanks

Q: I can’t seem to get the camera to record more than two minutes & 32 seconds. I’ve tried everything I can think of. And when I go into the settings and change the recording length setting from three minutes to one minute, it records one minute less! Help.

A: The camera breaks up video files into smaller clusters on purpose for transferring and editing. This is normal. The camera does not stop recording so you should see all your videos, just broken down into segments.

Q: Does it record continuously and overwrite the oldest recording?

A: So far I have not found 'loop recording' to work. When the card is close to full, it will shrink the size of the .mov files, which then become unplayable. When the card runs out of space, no more recording, and I get a message to format the SD card.

Q: Will Surveillance mode work without hard wiring with a Lithium (or similar) external battery?

A: The hard kit wiring would be needed if wanting to capture an incident when the vehicle is not running. To check into this further please consult with Kenwood's customer service team they have more information about the product.

Q: What about night vison?

A: The dash camera doesn't offer night vision.

Q: Do you have to have it professionally installed

A: The camera does not need to be professionally installed if just putting it on the dash. If you want to do the hard kit wiring then at that point you might need to if you are not familiar with the wiring.

Q: Once my microSD is full(128gb) the dashcam stops recording, how do I make it record non-stop while deleting oldest files? This is so inconvenient because you notice the dashcam not doing it's job while driving and it defeats the purpose of having it

A: You need to go into the menu. Go to format and select it. It will erase unsaved files and your good to go. I would suggest printing the owners manual off the web or download it to your phone. The manual will tell you everything you need to know.
