Customer Ratings & Reviews

Although there's not many reviews on the internet I was pleasantly surprised with the purchase. It has an impressive list of features that aren't obvious on the box or in the store. Besides taking excellent video, my favorite feature is the included Kenwood Video player. The Windows 10 application is not just a video player -- it includes location, GPS coordinates, current speed, average speed and actively tracks your whole route on the map! It is a great way to document your commute or collect evidence in case of accident or police stop. The unit was easy to install and the included mounts and cabling provided everything needed for a clean install. It includes 65GB of storage which is enough for 3 hours of recordings. I intend to purchase the rear camera as well.

I have tried several Dash Cams. By far this is the best one overall. The quality is actually 4K for the front. I purchased the rear compatible camera and the resolution is split at 1440p, which is still great quality. It is very easy to set up and use. You can also download a software from Kenwood to view the video. The software gives you all the details to include your entire route via the GPS. It also shows your date/time, latitude/longitude, speed and license plate on the video itself. Out of all the Dash Cams I’ve tried, I’m glad to finally find one that was made this easy with the quality needed for the video. I highly recommend.

The 4K images are crisp and clear. You can make out the license plates of cars in front of you. The length of the wire was more than enough for routing the wire from the front window to the fuse box. I was able to hide the wires behind the trim. The hardwire kit came with bullet connectors eliminating the need for crimping connections. The kit also came with an atm fuse tap and a 5 amp fuse, which was compatible with my car. The hardest part of the installation was finding a good ground in my car, but this is not the cam's fault. Nevertheless, installation was straightforward and I was able to do it myself although it took a few hours. I did need to buy additional ATM fuses. My only issue with the cam is the touch screen interface which is different and harder to use compared to the buttons on the Kenwood 301, which I have also used. The LCD is convenient for seeing what the camera is pointing at. I sued the suction cup mount which allows you to adjust the cameras angle and position. Adhesives and clips are included and are useful for cable management. This is great product from kenwood.

Love the large screen display which is better than it competitor Garmin. Was able to setup in less than 30 minutes. Have plugged into my Toyota's USB port which switches off and on life cigarette light plugin. Both connections provided. Wondering why it reboots itself sometimes during travel or while idle parked while car is on, but it may just be a setting. Will double check users guide. Supports rear camera connection not included purchase separately.

I like the Kenwood DRV-A601W 4K Dash Cam . The installed it a bit up under the rear view mirror because I have a Subaru Outback 2008 & the windshield is a bit smaller than my Mercury Grand Marquis. But that doesn't matter because it does the job & is not distracting my driving or vision. I'm glad the installer installed it the way he did. Because it is newer than what I have in my Grand Marquis It also has newer & better features, still exploring.

Best value in Dashcams hands down. Native 4k resolution, capacitor power source, GPS, and rear camera input put this in the league of $300+ dashcams but at an inexpensive price.

Set up was relatively straightforward the picture quality is significantly better the the cheaper ones that are not 4K

Read the reviews before I purchased and there were a lot of sub 3 reviews which made me skeptical. I feel bad for the people who had a bad experience with this camera for whatever reason but my experience is awesome. Plug and Play! Yes you do have to set today’s date and your time zone but after that it does everything by itself. I installed the camera loosely because I didn’t know if I was going to keep it. My first road trip about 2 hours in I hit a pot hole and blew my tire out. A few days later I remembered I had the dash cam and went to review the footage. The loop files didn’t have anything but the secured files had recognized the impact and stored the few minutes before and after in a file so it wouldn’t write over it. Quality is excellent ( don’t forget to peel the lens plastic off).

Great camera. Great video quality. Easy to use. Light

Camera works great automatically records when vehicle is bumped, records as your driving and has the ability to record rear view when camera is connected. I purchased the wiring harness and wired directly to truck so camera always has power when needed.

I've had this product for 3 - 4 weeks. It was easy to setup, the video display is amazingly sharp compared to a 4 year old DashCam that I have used. I've not attempted to view the recorded video on the memory micro SD card.

have this mounted in my front dash.. works great.. I just pop the card out and get the files using my laptop.. takes great video very clear day or night easy enough to retrieve.

I picked up 2 of these, open box specials, they look nice, and very compact. Kenwood .makes good stuff, plus i figure i should get one in case i ever need proof im not at fault.

Great picture quality during all hours of the day and night. Coming from a $15 full hd camera this is a worth while upgrade.

Love this dash cam. I had the regular version for years and installed it in another vehicle. Bought this for the 4k quality.

Easy to set up and use! I would recommend purchasing a hardwire install kit. The wiring kit that comes with this camera is more of a temporary set, with the 3M wire clips not really sticking well to all surfaces in my car. You can easily disconnect the camera from the windshield mount to download and view videos.

So far it works well. It was easy to setup and the picture quality is very good. I bought this on sale so the price was very reasonable.

Records great good viewing easy to connect at night time it records clear

Camera works great. Easy to upload to phone. Excellent clarity

camera is excellent! just bought my 2nd one because nothing lasts forever in the Sonoran Desert sun. the image is super clear. this camera has helped my attorney with two accident cases. "simple and clear cut" definitely a must have for anyone who travels a lot of miles.
