    This is a great camera that is easy to use. The UI on this model, which is push button, is better and more responsive compared to the touchpad on the more expensive 601 model. This cam produces crisp clear pictures and is easily mounted and hardwired. It's a good value and entry level dash cam. My only complaint is that the kenwood rear view cam cannot be connected to camera. You are forced to buy the 601 model.

    Good camera for the price. I only wanted to record what happens around me did not want to pay the price for a 4k camera. A few said they had a problem setting up wifi but my senior citizen mind did not have a problem. Just downloaded the app on my phone and went from there. I like that the controls for the camera face you rather than on the sides. Makes it easier to see the buttons that saves videos and do other things while "stopped".

    Camera quality is good the suction cup mount could be better as it comes off way too easily at times and could use a written guide for the SD card as I upgraded mine and it tells me to reformat (erase) my card every 3 weeks. Only buying a new one because my old one seems to be breaking down in a way that’s not covered by the extended protection.

    The dash cam works as intended. The video quality and recording quality is good for price and the windshield mounting hardware is still firmly attached despite the constant exposure to extreme heat. The only issue I have is that it constantly beeps at you when the micro SD card is half full, so you would want to pair this with a high capacity memory card for less annoyance.

    great dash cam for the money. Easy setup and operation. A dash cam is a must and can save you a lot of time and money if you are ever in a situation with another vehicle or accident that you need to prove was not your fault.

    The camera itself works great and is easy to install, however the app it comes with almost never works/has lots of issues which makes getting the video a headache/hassle. Even though the camera takes good quality videos (clear enough to see plates but not from a far distance, it's clear enough to see plates of cars that are in front of you by a few feet and isn't grainy)...the app, it's awful. Due to how poor the app is and how it almost never works I wouldn't recommend this, you CAN get the app to work but it's random.

    One for my car and one for my Daughters. Holds up well in the AZ summer and footage in small fender bender helped determine cause of accident. Hard to identify license plates and even blew them up in Photoshop. Overall does well but suggest looking for 4k or higher resolution if you can spend the extra

    For the price range this dash cam is great. Seems to stick really well to the windshield using the tape, video is clear. Bought a large size sd memory that lasts weeks without rewriting over recorded video. No issues so far..

    Very good product and entry point to capturing video while driving. It takes great video to playback or download to a computer or tablet to edit especially on a road trip or seeing a car crash. Just keep in mind its not a $500 front and rear camera system and you will enjoy the quality of the Kenwood brand.

    After having the camera for only a week it came in handy when witnessing a wreck. Once I knew everybody was okay and 911 had been called, I transferred the video from the camera to the Kenwood App on my phone. Highway patrol was able to view it and determine what actually happened - compared to one of the drivers saying otherwise. This wreck happened at night. Yet, the video was very good. The lighting was fine and the picture was very clear. The time, date, and lat/long were also embedded at the bottom of the video for authorities to see. Very useful!

    Good video quality, VERY disappointing app

    The video quality is good, I have tested it in morning light, day, and night. Everything is visible, but license plates can be hard to read in low lighting. The user interface on both the app and the computer program are extremely disappointing. I have tried to pair my phone (iphone XR) to the camera using the app, and I have not succeeded. The video viewer program on the computer works, but it is really just a MP4 player that also shows the GPS metadata. The camera will save seemingly random moments, and not just the ones you want to keep. It is simple to plug in to the car and mount to the windshield, but that is the bare minimum for any dashcam, really. Overall, I am disappointed with the camera. Kenwood really needs to work on their user interface for the applications that connect to their products.

    Incredible dash cam for the money! The picture quality might not look so great from the back of the camera when mounted and turned on, but when you play it back and/or look at a video file on a computer, it's fantastic quality! I gave this dash cam as a gift to my brother and it is a huge winner! Very easy to set up and use too! Definitely recommend!
