Instantly view the front and rear high-quality footage you have captured on the DRV-A501W's 3.0" full-colour LCD screen without any loss of resolution. Other features include HDR - High Dynamic Range reduces dark & light contrasts. 3-Axis G-Sensor that detects outside force, and GPS adds location data.
Get the complete picture with the rearview camera KCA-R100 supplied. This camera's 180° rotational lens gives you total flexibility and provides an optimum view from various rear window angles. Also, it features a wide-viewing angle lens with a horizontal angle of +/- 129°, a vertical +/- 66°, and a diagonal 161°. The recording range at the vehicle's rear expands in all directions to ensure nothing escapes the footage.
When installed, the hardwire kit supplied adds Smart Parking Mode. Then, when your vehicle is parked, the Smart Parking Mode becomes active, shutting down everything except the G-Sensor to save power. If your car is then subjected to a physical impact. Your dashcam stores the footage leading up to and after the incident. If the G-sensor detects other impacts during this recording, it will extend the recording time by 30 seconds until there are no more vibrations. The dashcam will then return to sleep mode (Smart Parking Mode).

United KingdomAppears to be doing the job.
Ordered and arrived within 2 days, very impressed. Have had it professionally fitted, the phone app takes a bit of getting used to,so will reserve judgement on that for the time being. Hopefully I have set it up so that it automatically over rides old footage as instructions were not that clear as to how that works.

United KingdomExcellent quality product.
Very impressed with this Dash Cam. Picture quality v good and it is easy to remove from its holder by way of the magnet system. The polarising filter comes with the Dash Cam and eliminates glare from the sun and from other causes of light reflections.
United KingdomLooks ok
Only just been installed, but all working well

United KingdomDRV-501 Pro Bundle
Excellent product. If using a 256g card, please ensure to make sure you get a card that’s compatible with the camera, not all so cards are equal.
United KingdomReally Happy
Really happy with my dashcam. Fitting was really simple although my particular vehicle (VW Touareg) fought me a fair bit when it came to routing the cables due to the curtain airbags the actual connecting was simple. The picture quality is good, unit is easy to operate and the app seems to work well (must be Wi-Fi connection). All in all I’m very happy.
