Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Really like this dash cam. The fact that it came with a SD card was awesome. I would purchase a bigger card in the future because it fills up pretty quickly and I am deleted the data on it every few days. But otherwise great little dash cam and had a nice screen with clear pictures day and night ... I also like the size of it some of them were so big and bulky looking this one is definitely smaller.

Already stopped working. Wouldn't connect to wifi when it did work.

Excellent quality image and easy to access to the videos

Takes great pics and videos.. with the 180 turn, you can also watch the people following and harassing you .. now I have evidence for stalking.

This is a great camera for the money. I like the quick attach to the bracket, that way I can take if off and put it out of site really easy. I also like viewing clips on my cell phone.

Love it super happy with it.unfortunately I didn’t have it when my wreck happened but now I do

Works well for the price,picture could be clearer,

Used this dashcam on a recent 2,300 mile trip and several weeks since our return. It works very well with great video even at night!

Great camera for the price !! A+. Quality on the camera is great. Easy to load on from. Would recommend this dash cam

Easy to use. Good video images. Good value and features.

My fiancé gifted me this camera for my birthday last year. Recently, i was in a car accident where it was completely awkward accident. Luckily, the cam was installed and recorded the whole before, during, and after clearly. I further proven to be in the right as the other driver ran a red light. Thank you to my fiancé and KENWOOD!

Attached the Camcorder changed the SD card to 32 GB . Works great ! Still new so no further update can be verified.

I was never able to connect it ro the app the window mount sucks it falls off when connected woith the gps not all that happy woth you but it dose record

Nice little dashcam. Instructions a bit sparse but figured it out...

All this thing does is turn itself on and off over and over. None of the buttons do anything once it starts going off and on. Maybe they should give better instructions in stead of the little bit given in what 30 different languages. Will return on Monday. I'm not a newbe to electronics. I've been working them going back to computers like the Vic-20, and Commodore 64.

Can not download Video player on Windows 11 And not able to pair Wi fi With Samsung A71 5g Android Version 11.1 So Returned Dashcam

Got to give this 1 star because the Kenwood Dash Cam Manager app is NOT compatible with newer android phones and can't be downloaded. Then when i tried to go to Kenwoods customer service chat, they actually want to charge you to talk to anyone about it even on a chat online. Will be returning this today and just bought it yesterday. Work of wisdom, make sure you phone is compatible with any apps you have to download for any dask cam.

Not worth the money. Not at all user friendly. Cannot get the app on my phone to work with the camera
