    I bought this dash cam primarily for night time driving, as a majority of my driving is after dark. Video quality during the day I would give about a 7/10. Night time is the real issue as far as quality goes. The glare off streetlights, car headlights, brake lights, business lights etc etc... Is so bad that you cant even see the vehicles in front of you most of the time. Even in a smaller town with no amount of large traffic around, the glare off of a single streetlight is really bad. Secondly, driving in the country where there are no streetlights is just as bad. The only thing you can see in the video is what's directly in front of your car, up to about 10 feet. If cars drive towards you, their headlights blind the entire video until they are past. I tried to adjust the angle of the camera and the position on both the dash and window and it made no difference. The settings are very limited and nothing there helps any of these issues. One thing that I thought would be a pro of this camera, turned out to be a con as well. You can choose to make 1, 3 or 5 minute video clips. I thought that was nice, until I realized those were the only options. If I take a long trip and want to do one video and make a time lapse out of it, I don't have that option. The software is clunky and hard to manage. When connecting to your phone to view videos off the dashcam, you have to turn off your data and wifi completely and connect to the Kenwood wifi, which tells you it has no active internet connection, then you have to open the app and connect there. If you do it in any other order, it won't work. Also, some phones are set to automatically reconnect to your data if you try a wifi that has no internet connection, which is a problem with this device because all data has to remain off the entire time. Also, the Gshock sensor that is built in is a problem as well. If you leave the Gshock on, every tiny bump in the road you hit, the cam will turn on the setting to lock the video, thinking that you have hit another car and it saves the video needlessly. All around, just a very poor camera. Spend the extra money and buy a better camera, you will save yourself a ton of hassle.

    I purchased this after reviewing many different dash cams. This one really stood out and when it went on sale I got it. It has great picture & sound quality. The app works great and makes it so simple to download footage straight to your phone or iCloud. Definitely worth it!

    Love this camera. It turns on, records once I turn on my car and haven’t had any trouble with the recording. The only issue I have with it is that I can’t seem to figure out the loop recording. Every time the SD card is full, it would ask to delete it and will keep making noise until I delete it. It’s very annoying I have to reset it every time. I haven’t been able to figure it out.

    The video on this is fantastic, even in the dark. Only wish it was easier to get on/off my window, and maybe would connect to my phone via Bluetooth.

    I previously bought a cheap dash cam and although it was cool, I wanted better quality and dependability. The Kenwood is great! As crazy as some drivers are on the road, highly recommend having one to document any auto incidents.
