Customers are saying

Customers praise the DRV-N520 Dash Cam's outstanding video quality and ease of use. Many found installation straightforward and the price attractive. However, some users reported issues with the forward collision warning system's sensitivity. The compatibility with Kenwood systems was also a frequently cited positive.

    The only selling point this camera has over others is the integration with Kenwood head units - and it's a gimmick. Keep in mind that this is a dash cam from 2017. You will find a YouTube video from Kenwood titled "2019 DRV-N520" - as far as I can tell this is the same camera from 2017, but the video was made in 2019. You can't even transfer recording wirelessly - you have to take the microsd card, which has a max capacity of 32GB (if you upgrade), in to your house and connect it to your computer to transfer videos. The "Full HD" writing on the front should be a clue that this one is dated, as Full HD hasn't been a selling point for any products for several years now. If I were to do this all over, I would go with a newer dash cam. A comparably priced Garmin will give you a better picture, wider field of view, and wireless video transfer. You are better off using your head units front video input for a front mount external camera. Kenwood sells one that can be installed and used in the front. This would be much more useful to folks looking to take advantage of having a better view of the ground in front of them (parking an suv). I am sure this was pretty good when it came out, but there are better options now.

    Got this for my brother, he had a receiver already. The video is quite clear and a decent framerate. Very low profile, as well! I barely noticed it under his mirror.

    I would have given this 5 stars but I feel the video quality could be little better. Other than that I cannot complain. The fact that it works with kenwood head units is great.

    Camera has a lot of great features. Unfortunately, it wasn't really compatible with the kenwood deck I bought at the same time despite the clerk telling me it would work perfectly together. So I spent a lot of money for a camera that has many features I can't use.

    Works great!! If someone hits or car or tries to get in it will start recording. It lets you know if you drift out of your lane or going to hit someone but you might want to turn that feature off because it goes off all the time. Geek squad installed and they did a great job!!
