Angel –
Records great good viewing easy to connect at night time it records clear
Ravindra –
Very good product and good quality vedio.
Only thing we found a bit complaex was wifi connectivity.
Markmirish –
Great picture quality. Yes the connection to any android or iPhone (I have done both) can be frustrating at first, BUT once you forget the device one time from your Bluetooth settings on both iOS and Android I have not had any issues connecting and downloading any videos. I attached the power cable that’s “always on” and the parking mode rocks!!

Camera works great. Easy to upload to phone. Excellent clarity
RoadTripen –
The camera itself works fine when it’s working, BUT it randomly loses all the settings and it forces you to go through the entire setup about every 2-3 weeks. It also will ask you to format the memory card about every other day. Losing the settling really sucks because your camera will not work at all until it’s set up again. It’s such a hassle. The app is also not the greatest. I definitely would not recommend.

Got it for my mom for Christmas. We were excited; the video quality was very good. However, two recordings later, the camera froze, and the screen went white and never recovered. We had to return it. It’s definitely disappointing that a brand new product crashed like that, AND it was a gift. I had high hopes for this product as the brand has been around for years.
KellyC –
The dashcam s not smart enough to turn off when the car is parked! It has drained my battery twice in a couple of weeks when I forgot to unplug it from the cigarette lighter. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Michael –
Love it. Wonderful dash cam good quality. Excellent clarity.
TLN220 –
Great picture quality during all hours of the day and night. Coming from a $15 full hd camera this is a worth while upgrade.
JohnP –
Garbage. Dont buy it. I have had constant issues with this camera not turning on when the car is on. Having to re set up the camera multiple times a day. Every day. Problem after problem with this camera.
Clint –
Does what it says it shoukd. No issues. Love the slil design.
LeeZ –
Hard to attach and stay on wind shield and not easy to download images unless u have a new computer
Dalton –
Like others, screen went black. For a $200+ dollar dashcam, it should last more than a year and a half.
Unknown –
It is great when you compare base on price and quality range
Lupe –
It needs to be connected to the car charger to power on. I would return it but I lost the receipt. Don’t buy it!
Lilyspops –
Only lasts 23 months. The functionality is ok but the darn thing quits working just under 2 years.
Not worth the money
SACCHI –
My first unit worked for about 3 months, then it started booting up to the setup menu every morning I started the car. Then it got to a point where it wouldn’t show anything on the screen. I sent it to Kenwood for repair, a replacement unit was sent back. That unit worked for about 1 month, then the same thing, boots up to the setup screen every morning. It has not gotten to the non-responsive point yet, but I’ve tracked I removed and replaced it with a Garmin. This unit is junk, do not buy one! For the price, many better features are available on many other units. Spend your money wisely.
Irby –
I gave this 5 stars because I couldn’t give 4 and half stars. The picture quality is great but over all I feel that It could be better.
DrummerSam –
I bought this for my car just in case i get into an accident or if i see an accident or a stupid driver
Bill –
Does the job it claims to. Not perfect by any means. Inconvenient that you can’t access the videos unless you disconnect your phone from anything except the camera. Makes me disconnect my apple car play to access all files. Dont bother locking any clips either cause now it wont unlock other clips that were locked by nistake. Id return it if it wasnt too far passed and not interested in in store credit.
Rick –
The clarity and rear camera functionality is a plus. The wireless app doesn’t help and needs a lot of catching up to support the camera.

Returned
Camera controls didn’t work
Screen constantly blacks out
Alyssa –
Ehhh cord is long hard to manage. Picture is good.
CarminlF –
It’s been a great purchase. I’m really enjoying this camera!
Pavan –
Very difficult to use and connect to your phone. Not user friendly
PickyBuyer –
Nice image quality and very clear screen. The only thing I think could be better is the installation kit, some what limited angles mobility
MiguelG –
Beautiful camera Camera excellent quality pictures and video
PhilipC –
Very nice and easy to use down loading to your phone cool
JohnS –
We have been using it for a couple of weeks and so far it is working as expected. We would recommend this item.
SpencerK –
The screen is to small and it turns on and off a whole lot. Must buy A bigger memory card
ColdOne –
Easy to set up and use. Graphic quality is very good.
LarryB –
Hard to use Ask me again, you’ll get the same. Got it,
madman –
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.
Kimm –
Im so happy i bought this for my childs car. Easy to use, easy set up and im thrilled to have a reference as this in case of an emergency or accident . Great item even at full price..
Teaser –
Recommended by Best Buy staff. Seems to work as advertised so far.
Jims02 –
good camera, on all the time good video quality, easy to use
RubenA –
Really helpful and clear easy to work! Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. Love this camera.
DoraB –
The only bad thing is that I bought it to give it to someone in Mexico and you can’t install the application there.
DavidT –
Good video but the camera overheats by itself and gets so hot it triggers the touch screen display on and off when in use without touching the display, happens even in the shade.
Ribby3 –
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.
VictorT –
Good camera. Excellent video and picture quality. I only wish the videos were longer than 1or3 minute intervals.
whatdoyoumeanbydisplaynam –
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.
Nomorevacum –
Camera good, but I can’t get the app figured out. .
Gpope –
Recently upgraded to this from the A301W. Excellent video and functions pretty much the same. My only complaints is the lack of actual buttons and the g sensor is still to sensitive.
MrAC –
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.
ScottD –
For the money I’d say this is on par with the major competitors out there. Have yet to try out any video feed but as of now extremely satisfied. Certainly wish I knew it wasn’t wireless as I had to pull out my trim in my Mercedes to hide the cables, but that high class problems there…
EdwardD –
Great Dash Cam for the money. Easy to install and operate. Great product would purchase again.
MarioA –
Very please with this item. I checked videos in it and the quality of the image is excellent!!
Qosqoruna –
Used for 2 years and stopped working. Black screen, unable to upload firmware, reset button does not work. I called Kenwood customer support to get additional support to resolve the issue because the features on this camera are great but they told me to buy a new one since there were no parts to fix it. Now I am afraid that the other Kenwood/JVC products that I have probably will fail soon.
RalphP –
Dash Cam is good . Dash cam manager app is Terrible. Need’s updated.
