Video quality isn't that good, I expected better from a $100 camera

Unfortunately this dash camera didnt meet my needs i had expected better from a kenwood brand i returned it and upgraded the camera to something that had my needs

App is horrible, hard to connect..................

Works fine for the first 5 months after that didn't turn on

Keep turning off the motion detector did not pick up much .I returned it

Great Christmas gift……………………………………………………………………………….

It has never worked. Tech expert cant make it work. Don’t want to pay another $45 to return it. Rip off.

Don't buy this the Android phone does not support the app for this camera

This thing is so janky. Not recommended. Something from the 1990s.

Holy crap, this thing popped and exploded when it wasn't even plugged in! Scary. Screen is also too small to actually be usable.

Such a waste of money. No longer in use after 1 month because screen went out

I will never ever recommend this item to anybody It was broke when I got it half the pieces were messing need I go on

When it is first turned on when you state driving it recorded as if you were in an accident. It was recording in the red mode. I got a refund the next day.

The price is too much for the service i was expecting from it

I used products made by Kenwood before; I'll NEVER use this brand again!

It is very bad dad Camera It is garbage After two months start working very bad

bad camera stop working after 1 month and 15 days.

Would turn on and immediately turn off!! Tried several times and still did not work!

No one gave any help to install in car. Had to hunt down salespers

So I had been wanting a dash cam just to have that peace of mind of should something happen, I have video proof of exact events since not everyone is a standup individual who will say they messed up and caused whatever. Here are the good points. This camera is pretty easy to setup and I had no issue with the app or getting it to connect, which gives you a live view (with some slight lag) which really helps to aim the cam if it's behind the mirror and you can't really see the screen well. The screen auto shuts off after a duration to avoid it getting too hot, or being distracting but still has a status light so you can tell it is on. The picture looks pretty good for being just 1080. Night quality is "eh" but I've yet to see a dash cam that has a great picture in low light so I won't bash it too much. The cord is plenty long enough to tuck above the head liner, down the A pillar, and through the dash to get to wherever your 12V is. Now here are some of the downsides I've noticed. It has a "magnetic quick release" mount, but it still clicks into spot so if you do remove it using this feature be ready to constanly try to re aim the camera since it will require some force to remove and insert. It advertises having a super capacitor, but the only functionality it provides is finishing saving the current file when power is lost. The instructions that come packaged with it are very lacking, honestly I think the receipt from buying it had more writing in it. It has a parking mode, but it isn't very clear on how it functions, and also requires the hardwire kit (more on that in a bit.) I can't exactly tell how it functions, but be ready to have a bunch of protected videos of when you start driving if it's on. It also has a G sensor to automatically protects files it thinks might be of an accident, which is great, if you live somewhere that has all roads smooth as glass. Even on it's lowest setting any set of train tracks, curbs, or any bump in the road seemingly will trigger it, and thats on it's lowest setting. It does come with a small micro sd card to get you started, though being only 16 Gig so it fills up fast. Now the hardwire kit. Unlike most kits that require you to get power from an always on source and a ignition switched source, it only wants an always on source, so it just makes the camera always on, which I can do already since in my vehicle the 12v outlet is always on. That also brings me to my next point, I wish companies would stop putting lights on their power plugs. I don't need a bright light to let me know it's working, the device has its own light so it's redundant and wastes power. Despite the short comings, it still provides the functionality plus has gps info and records audio, and at the under $100 price it's not breaking the bank and will give you at least a copy of an event for proof. If your looking for a fully automated experience with parking mode and g sensors I'd recommend something else, but if you just something to give yourself evidence then this isn't a bad choice for a front only system.
