This KENWOOD DRV-A100 makes nice 720p HD Ready recordings. The image quality is quite good for a dashcam in this price range, although you may have less good image in the dark.
Using the free KENWOOD Dash cam Manager for iOS and Android, all recorded files of the DRV-A100 can be viewed wirelessly via your phone or tablet. You can also adjust settings in the menu on the KENWOOD App and you can view live recordings. Files you have downloaded on your phone can also be viewed together with the GPS information in Google maps and be instantly shared on social media.
The KENWOOD DRV-A100 has a bright 2.0 inch LCD screen. The images are displayed on the screen and the menu can also be easily operated on it. There is a screen saver on the dash cam that automatically switches off the screen after a certain time so that the driver is not hindered too much.
Due to the parking mode on the KENWOOD DRV-A100, the dashcam automatically starts recording when a vibration is detected by the G-sensor. This way you always have proof when someone hits your parked car.
Note: To use the parking position, the dashcam must be connected with the CA-DR1030 Hardwire kit.
The KENWOOD DRV-A100 is supplied with a suction and sticker mount. The mount with sticker is more or less permanently mounted in the car and the suction mount can be easily removed from the car. This way it's very easy to use the dashcam in multiple vehicles.
The KENWOOD DRV-A100 is equipped with a super capacitor battery. This battery ensures that the camera can shut down properly after the power is cut. Super capacitor batteries have been specially developed for use in dash cams because they are more durable than regular Polymer Li-ion batteries and are more resistant to high and low temperatures. Please note that due to the use of a super capacitor the dashcam CANNOT be used without a power source and immediately switches off when the power is turned off.
This KENWOOD DRV-A100 has a modest viewing angle of 136˚ so that a large area around the car is recorded while at the same time the image on the sides is not distorted too much.
Thanks to the HDR (High Dynamic Range) on this KENWOOD DRV-A100, the video brightness is always right. HDR ensures that the images are always properly displayed in too much or too little light so that most details are visible.
Thanks to the built-in G-sensor, the dashcam notices when you have had an accident. In the event of an impact, images are automatically stored securely so that they are no longer lost due to the loop recording. They can no longer be overwritten and cannot be deleted via the dashcam.
The KENWOOD DRV-A100 has a built-in microphone so that sound is also recorded. The microphone can be easily turned on and off in the camera's menu.
The date, time and license plate number can be displayed at the bottom of each video of the KENWOOD DRV-A100. This makes it easier for fleet managers to see which recordings were made with which vehicles. This also can be of decisive importance in assessing situations and determining the cause of an accident by the police or insurance company.
The KENWOOD DRV-A100 supports MicroSD cards up to 32GB and comes with a 16GB MicroSD card included. With the included 16GB card, about 2 hours of FullH D recordings can be stored.
