Kenwood - DRV-A610WDP Dual camera system- Compact 4K HD dash camera w/ 2" display, Wi-Fi, and GPS) rear-view cam and SD Card - Black

I installed this camera in my wife's car a few days ago, and so far, I'm impressed with the video quality. Packaging: The packaging is attractive and well-built. There are two boxes inside, one for each camera. The package is easy to open and includes all the necessary accessories. Installation: Attaching the camera to the windshield is easy, but running the wire along the edge of the windshield and hiding it under the car’s upholstery is not. The wire attachment stickers are too bulky and not well-designed for discreet placement. Once the wires are connected and the power is plugged in, the camera turns on right away. Navigating the camera menu: It takes some time to get used to the menu navigation and to figure out what each button does. A better design would be to switch the power and rear camera outlets to the right, and bring the buttons to the left, making them more visible to the driver. iOS App: I downloaded the app on my phone and was able to connect to the camera via Bluetooth. However, playing videos on my phone was slow, often resulting in a frozen single image instead of a smooth video. Overall: I bought this camera for protection and to have evidence in case of accidents or vandalism. So far, I haven’t needed to use it for that purpose, and I hope I never will. That said, I feel more secure having this dashcam. I would recommend it, especially for use in busy cities or for inexperienced drivers.

I upgraded my dash cam to this Kenwood after my last one died. I wanted something with more reliable software and a rear camera, as well as a front camera. After getting into an accident where we disagreed on who was at fault, I installed cameras in all the cars. Like most other cameras, it struggles to pick up license plates. However, the recordings are clear, and it has worked every day, which is the vital thing. The menu and app are easy to understand, and no frills, exactly what you want in a menu and app like this. Easy to get into, do what you want, and get out. Overall, I recommend this camera, as it works reliably every day and doesn't require constant adjustments or reformatting, unlike some other models I've used. I recommend using a larger micro SD card with it, and be sure to buy a micro SD card designed for dash cams that can be written over many times, as the basic ones will fail after a while. Other than that, everything is in the box. The installation varies by car. I recommend a hardwire kit for a cleaner look, and if you're not comfortable doing the installation, Geek Squad will do a good job. Other than that, the installation consists of pushing cables up into the roof panel, it was the same as any other dash cam.

The resolution and image quality during daylight is amazing. Havent had a chance to test out the low light performance. The main cam is 4k and rear is 1440. I haven’t got the rear cam mounted yet but is just a single cord and double face tape. It does come with a micro sd card but it is hard to remove and put back in, but should not need to when using the app!

Not the smallest on the market but was much smaller than I initially anticipated. I opted for the Geek Squad installation and it took nearly 2hr but was well worth it in the end to have the camera look and perform seamlessly for me. Required the additional hardware kit, but worth it to have the automatic on/off and additional recording while away. Only con was that I seem unable to update the firmware to the rear camera - but was able to for the front camera. I think when I updated the front that the rear was automatically updated but it doesn't reflect this in the app. Instead it kept saying I was unable to connect via WIFI, despite being on my home network, restarting both the camera and app several times, and turning off phone data on/off. All that combined has me thinking the app software itself is just a little goofy, but I haven't had any issues recording anything or having any serious problems so I drop a star for kinda shoddy app software. Excellent build quality and camera, however! I have had a truly surreal experience with law enforcement before where having a dashcam installed would have come well handy, so that was my main focus buying a dashcam unit. So impressed with the professional installation that I went and bought a radar detector to have installed after this was done. Thanks Best Buy!

This dual dash front and rear camera is very compact and provides great video quality for day and night recording. Easy to install and the wireless connection to your smartphone is helpful.
