DRV-N520 Integrated Dash Cam
Totally happy with this dashcam. it's small but powerful with some really useful features. I love the way it integrates with my Kenwood head unit. Brilliant!!

Dash Cam review DRV-N520
Bought this as it integrates with my Kenwood DAB8180 head unit. Picture quality excellent and easy to use with detailed instructions. My only gripe, hence only 4 stars, is that you only get 12 months warranty whereas with other Kenwood dash cams you get the option of 3 years extra for just £9!!!!!. Why no extended warranty option Kenwood?

Great Addition
This dash-cam is a great addition to the DMX8020DABS. Even an amateur like me - following the instructions - found it easy to install. The dash-cam has some sophisticated driving support features such as forward collision warning and lane departure warning which in all honesty I haven’t used. However, it serves my purpose as a good quality dash-cam capable of recording any motoring incidents during my travels. On the downside the dash-cam is only usable with specific Kenwood head sets and is more expensive than many others on the market but that said I am very happy with my purchase.

DRV-N520 Integrated Dash Cam
Works great with my DNX415RVS in-dash receiver. Easy to set up, great picture and in dash monitor/review functions. Make sure you have 32GB SD card (max) if wanting high def pictures! Windows / Mac software available to review images/location data. SD card files contain images and GPS data. Wish there was Bluetooth file transfer so you could leave SD card in-situ... Nice working product.
