KENWOOD DRV-A601W - 4K Ultra HD Dash Cam - 3.0" LCD Screen - 64GB micro SD card

Product Information

Detail is very well represented even when shooting at less than 4K. It is perfectly possible to read number plates and so on at the 2560k setting if you’re using the rear and front camera in combination, but it would make sense to switch to 4K for the best detail if you only have the front-facing camera. The DRV-A601W supports 4K Ultra HD recording (8.3M: 3840 x 2160), which is 4 times the resolution of Full HD (2.0M: 1920 x 1080). It clearly reproduces the part invisible in Full HD video such as license plates. * By connecting the optional rear camera (KCA-R200) it is possible to record front and rear directions simultaneously. With it's 3.7 megapixel CMOS sensor, the DRV-A501W captures Wide Quad HD video at 30fps, 1.8 times as many pixels as Full HD, making super-high resolution recording and replay possible.

Ultra HD recording (8.3M: 3840 x 2160) - is 4 times the resolution of Full HD (2.0M: 1920 x 1080). It clearly reproduces the part invisible in Full HD video such as license plates. * By connecting the optional rear view dash cam VW Part No: ZGB 000 052 620 (KCA-R200), it is possible to record front and rear directions simultaneously. The built-in 3-axis G Sensor with adjustable sensitivity detects an outside force, forcing the device to save what has just been recorded. In addition, the GPS Receiver allows your videos to add location and speed data. Overall, the footage is also steady with very little jumping or jolting around, providing the camera stays securely in the holder. You might consider using the camera to make more in-depth recordings of your journeys if you’re particularly interesting in documenting them, but it seems likely a dedicated action camera would be a better performer for that job.I have some trouble when I start the engine. The dashcam correctly turns on and starts recording automatically, but after 30/60 seconds the device goes into a sort of sleep mode (the blue led indicator stays on steady) even if I'm driving. So the display turns off and there is no way to activate again the dashcam. The only way to start correctly the cam is to turn off the vehicle and turn on again. Plugged into a Garmin mini USB cable, it's nice messing around with it in the comfort of the porch. Ultra HD Dash Cam with Built-in Wireless LAN with Smart Parking Mode - Optional Rear View Dash Cam VW Part No: ZGB 000 052 620 (KCA-R200) Most cameras the LCD screen go out after a few seconds, have you looked on the footage on the memory card to see there if the camera actually stop. Auto Express Recommended 2023 product DRV-A601W 4K Ultra HD dash cam. Auto Express said: "KENWOOD's DRV-A601W unit has some features that we really like from a dash cam. Chief among these is a magnetic mount, making it much easier to remove the camera to keep it safe or swap between cars. KENWOOD's online and smartphone viewing apps are also the easiest and most intuitive to use. In terms of footage, the KENWOOD's daytime video is exceptional when it's on smoother roads, as you'd expect from a 4K camera, and it copes well with rapidly changing light conditions."

Ultra HD recording - there's nothing better to capture the fine details - like a number plate. The DRV-A601W has a recording resolution of 3840 x 2160 - 8.3M pixels, 4 times the Full HD resolution (2.0M: 1920 x 1080), which allows it to reproduce more obscure images such as a license plate detail. Connecting the optional rear camera (KCA-R200) makes it possible to record front and rear footage simultaneously. On my first proper 1080p dashcam the lukas LK-7500 i tried to use G-sensor while driving, but even on low it triggered all the time, so as it was possible on that camera i had to set up custom trigger values for the X - Y and Z axis. And i dont park for long out on the town, 30 minutes and my shopping are done, plus my stupid little car while extremely expensive like all cars are in Denmark, then i am not really attached to it much, though of course people dinging other peoples cars should fess up to it and be a man about it, and most often they are not.

So I disconnected the rear camera. But the front camera still functions incorrectly. I updated to the latest firmware - no change.
