Great features that need s software update really
Purchased this camera to go with my kenwood dmx 9706s and the kenwood cmr 320. They are awesome together once you figure out how to install them to get them to work together on the touchscreen. Took ke 2 days to figure it out. So if you plan on installing it as a combo with the other camera i recommend professional instalation. This camera records great during the day. Awesome picture during the day but at night it doesn't have the best night capabilities. The fact that its controlled from the head unit is awesome,make sure you kenwood is compatible. The one downside and its a big one for me because its one of the reasons i got it is the driver assist features. First, the lane departure isnt available in the states, but it is everywhere else. Second ,and most importantly, they other 2 features don't work well at all. The forward collision warning goes off all the time when it pics up anither cars shadow in front or even your own cars shadow is the sun is behind you. So that feature is worthless i turhed it off the secind day i had it. And the feature that tells you that tge cars in front of you are moving when you are stopped is just as bad. That beeps and goes off all the time if your first at a red light and anything goes in front of you. Even if its the cars going from left to right in front of you. It goes off when you park and someone just walks in front of your car. So if you get this get it because ut records well and works well with other kenwood camera and head unit ,don't get it for driver enhanced features. Those are worthless but could be fixed with a software update.

Great add on camera to a KENWOOD headunit
This camera is excellent!!! Do not buy this camera if you do not own a Kenwood unit such as a DNX996. This unit only connects to Kenwood head units as an add on. The Kenwood headunit will allow you to display the screen. The headunit allows you to set functions such as collision alerts and how you want the camera to record in specific intervals. The headunit can also allow you to make the camera function as a "dashcam" or "front facing camera". The dash cam function will turn on the collision alerts which will make an audible sound and will display on your Kenwood head unit The front facing camera will allow the camera to turn on when you go from "reverse to forward" for example when parking a vehicle. When using the Kenwood unit you can also turn your camera screen on at any time The camera power cable plugs directly into the Kenwood headunit, but you will have to splice tap power and ground off the Kenwood. Basically when your Kenwood radio turns on so does the camera The camera also has security recording which will turn the camera and mic on ( if set ) on if it detects a bump using the camera gyroscope. You will be alerted on your headunit if an alert was created while you were out of the vehicle. Sensitivity setting can also be made for that as well. You can capture video/audio as well as pictures anytime while pressing the camera button It comes with a very secure mount that also allows for you to correct the settings if the level is out of normal placement due to vehicle size or glass shape. Not to mention you can record in HD which looks great when played on a regular tv and it will capture your speed and gps location....which is great if you're ever caught in a traffic stop situation and need proof. You will need at 32gb memory card, it only comes with 8gb. 32gb may not seem like much if you're recording multiple days nonstop, but it's plenty for the average consumer Great camera and I would recommend it to any Kenwood headunit user!

Capture the unexpected.
I love the kenwood dash cameras. This one in particular integrates into certain kenwood in dash radios and isn’t a stand alone unit. It works exactly as described and takes great video however it doesn’t display back in HD on the radio itself. When you get the video off the memory card the resolution is perfevt. Highly recommended

Easy set up and good quality
Provides exactly what I was looking for. I paired this camera with the Kenwood headunit. Very easy install and set up. Took about 30mins total. Quality is very good on HD. The SD card holds about a day of video. Also records sound. Definitely would recommend and buy again for another vehicle if needed.
