    Kenwoods tech support is the worst.

    Kenwood tech support is the worst. said I would never buy another one of their products after the catastrophe of purchasing one of their receivers about 10 years ago. brand new out of the box and the surround sound didn't work. made me take it in for repair. its new, give me another one!!. nope. repair shop couldn't fix it. they wanted me to send it in on my dime. WHAT!! nope took it back and the dept store exchanged it. Similar issue with this and tech support. recorder works fine but it should have a built in battery. the download for your computer so you can review and modify the footage is worthless. you get the sound but no video. I have emailed them 3 times as of now with worthless ideas to try. now I get no response. IF you do purchase this try every aspect of it and if something doesn't work, take it back. you will get no help from Kenwood. worst company ever. I gave them a second chance and I should have known better.

    Good middle of the road Dash Cam - Great Features

    I bought this dash cam after finding that my cheaper dash cam was creating very poor video quality. After using this cam for a few weeks and locking a few vids that include idiot drivers and some deer on the road, I find the quality and features are nice. One thing I love is it is easy to just pull the cam from the mount and not having to remove the suction cup or cable from the mount. The PC software is nice as well as it allows you to edit and even view GPS tracks for each vid. As with most mid level cams, you wont be able to read license plates very well or at all, but the quality is much better than those I have had or seen prior.

    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.

    Best Dash Cam for the Money

    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!

    Excellent value for the price with loads of features. Works better than expected but does have a learning curve. The only thing I found odd that support couldn't answer was it was going into protective mode when started when I didn't push the protect button. Turns out I had turned on the Parking mode when setting it up, which apparently puts it into protective mode automaticlly. Haven't had the chance to follow up with support.

    Had a car accident happen 10 feet in front of me one morning and it was the last straw. I needed a dashcam. Picked this one up on Open box and the only bad thing i can say about this cam, the parking sensor is very sensitive. Ive had it go off and record for 30 seconds of a leaf falling. But other that that its been excellent.

    Easy to install, easy to use. Only issue is the positioning of the cord input. It has to go over the camera if it’s hanging from the window. I feel much safer on the roads now that I have this!

    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.

    I want to love this for the security it brings w all the craziness on the road these day but we didnt have ours two weeks before the mount let go of the double sided tape. Camera came loose hit the dash fried the sd card. Replaced sd card still had memory issues. Thankfully we got geek squad because its on its way to them for replacement. Sadly still better than some of the others out there. Very easy to use before it launched itself on a smooth highway

    This little camera works great. Video looks good during sunlight, rain and at night. The camera shows your speed as you go and it appears to be accurate according to my speedometer. If I happen to have my radio up loud, the sound is not distorted on the video. It’s easy to remove from the dock.
