Kenwood DRV-A601W 4K Dash Cam

Why purchase the Kenwood DRV-A601W?

If you are looking for a cost effective dash cam and ultra high definition video footage is important to you, then you should definitely consider buying the Kenwood DRV-A601W.  It is a very competitively priced camera with a whole host of features included as standard. So much so that Auto Express called it "great value for a 4K camera" and TechRadar commenting that the sensors captured "incredibly crisp and clear images, even in adverse weather conditions or low-light situations." With such high praise, the Kenwood DRV-A601W made it onto both of their recommended lists.

4K Recording

With its 8.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, the DRV-A601W captures 4K video at 30fps,more than 2 times as many pixels as Wide Quad HD, making super-high resolution recording and replay possible.

3.0” Full Colour LCD Touch Screen

The Kenwood DRV-A601W comes with a built in 3.0 inch screen that has been placed in the housing to maximise the available viewing area, without any loss of resolution. Having a screen built into the dash cam allows you to instantly view the shot you just captured using the playback feature. The intuitive menu system can also be accessed via the screen, ensuring that the DRV-A601W is one of the easiest dash cams to use on the market today.

Wireless Smartphone Link (Wireless LAN)

The Kenwood Dash Cam Manager app allows you to easily change the menu settings of your dash cam and browse through your videos from your smartphone in an intuitive way. On your smartphone you can check recorded videos as well as real time live view. By downloading the media files into your smartphone, you can even review them while routing on Google Maps with the GPS information such as speed, G-sensor and distance, and edit the videos to share them in social media. Download the app from App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) on your smartphone.                       

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

HDR is a technology that helps to reduce “blown out highlights” and “crushed blacks” and ensures clear images even in the most challenging environments. This includes backlit scenes in daylight, streetlight scenes at night and places where light-dark contrast is particularly severe, such as at tunnel entrances/exits.

3-axis G Sensor & GPS receiver

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 a dedicated location for easy access and retrieval when you need the footage. In addition, the GPS Receiver allows your videos to add location and speed data.

Smart Parking Mode

When your vehicle is parked and turned off, the Smart Parking Mode becomes active. If your vehicle is subject to a collision or other physical impacts, your dash cam powers on thanks to the built-in G-Sensor and automatically records 30 seconds of video.

(Parking mode requires hardwired installation)

Super Capacitor (Backup Battery)

This prevents the video file being recorded from being corrupted if power is lost due to a collision or other physical impacts, as it provides enough power to allow the file to save properly.

Polarizer Filter

The standard fit polarizer filter reduces such things as dashboard reflection on the windscreen, which may appear in certain positions or due to weather conditions, and helps to lessen glare on sunny days, making it possible to record clear outside images.
