DRV-A501W: The dash cam that remembers

The DRV-A501W dash cam boasts a remarkable 1.8-fold increase in pixel count compared to Full HD, resulting in crisp and detailed imagery. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art 3.7 megapixel CMOS sensor, enabling it to flawlessly capture Wide Quad HD video content at 30 frames per second.

The Polarised Filter lens is designed to combat the nuisance of dashboard reflections and intrusive glare. Drawing inspiration from the concept of polarised sunglasses, renowned for their ability to mitigate sunlight glare and pesky reflections, the DRV-A501W employs similar technology to deliver recording outcomes with exceptional clarity and contrast. This ensures that critical details, such as license plates, remain unmistakably visible, untouched by bothersome windscreen reflections or blinding sun glare.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology masterfully balances the interplay between light and shadow, eradicating harsh contrasts and delivering visuals of unparalleled depth.

Safety takes center stage with the inclusion of a 3-Axis G-Sensor, vigilantly poised to detect any external forces acting upon your vehicle. This feature ensures that unexpected incidents are recorded accurately and provides an extra layer of security during your journeys. Plus, the GPS functionality seamlessly recordings your precise location data so it knows where you are if you don't.

polarised filter lens for kenwood dash cams

Polarised Filter Lens

This lens helps to Reduce Dashboard Reflections, Glare and Improve Contrast Performance. We are all used to wearing polarised sunglasses on sunny days. Polarised lenses are designed to reduce sun glare and reflections to help us see better. Dash cams can also use this technology to ensure precise contrasted recording results. Without this critical information, such as number plates could be obscured by windscreen reflections and sun glare etc.

Helping to produce the best possible recorded image with HDR

Most dash cams (DVR) have a fixed lens aperture designed for average ambient lighting conditions. Unfortunately, in the real-world ambient lighting is not always average. Rising and setting sun or emerging from a dark tunnel can result in over or underexposed footage, possibly losing vital information such as number plates. HDR technology is designed to combat this by clever post-image processing to help produce a constantly clear and correctly contrasted recording. This technology also improves night vision recordings during night journeys.

DRV-A501W view angle

Giving you the best view

Designed to provide recordings of the view in front of the vehicle and ensure detail is not lost. We deliberately do not go for Ultra-Wide Viewing Angle as the trade-off is distortion, leading to significant data loss.

GPS KENWOOD dash cams know your location

GPS gives the right location, so no worries if you don't know

The location, date and time of any incident are vital as they can prove exactly when and where it has occurred, removing the need to write down everything shortly after an upsetting event. Your vehicle speed will be recorded and shown on the video playback. GPS satellite information can often be more accurate than the vehicle's speedometer. GPS will automatically adjust the time recorded to the current time zone when travelling abroad.

3-Axis G-Sensor detects unusual impacts to your vehicle KENWOOD dash cams

3-Axis G-Sensor: Detects unusual impacts to your vehicle

The built-in 3-axis G-Sensor with adjustable sensitivity can detect unusual impacts to your vehicle and automatically stores the video footage, time, speed and location. This footage is then moved into a locked folder so it cannot be overwritten. The locked folder can be viewed at a later time via the desktop software or smartphone app. Stored G-Sensor data could be helpful to show how significant any impact was, to combat against fraudulent claims.

Loop / Manual Recording KENWOOD dash cams

Loop / Manual Recording

For longer journeys, all of KENWOOD's dash cams can be set to "loop record". This means that even when the SD-card is full, the camera will continue to record, overwriting the earliest footage. In this mode should an incident occur, or the manual recording button is pressed, this data footage will still be stored and protected from over-writing so it can be played back at a later time.

KENWOOD dash cameras magnet mount

Quick Release Magnetic Mount

No more connecting cables with the quick release magnetic mount. Unlike traditional mounts, which operate using a latching mechanism. The patent-designed magnetic mount lets you place and remove the dash cam easily and immediately with no cable to connect or disconnect.

KENWOOD dash cam smartphone app

Wireless Smartphone App

The KENWOOD Dash Cam App from App Store (iOS) for iPhone or Google Play (Android™) for Android smartphone allows you to change the menu settings of your dash cam easily.

Go into the video settings of the app, and you can change the resolution, video length, exposure, GPS, Speed unit (MPH/KPH), time & date stamp, license plate stamp, and switch parking mode sensor on/off. * (Smart Park Mode requires the optional CA-DR1030 hardwire kit to be installed). Also, browse through recorded videos and real-time live view from your smartphone.

*Ensure that your iPhone / Android smartphone is linked via Wi-Fi with your dash cam to change dash cam settings, browse recorded videos, and real-time live view.
