Auto Express Recommended 2023 product DRV-A601W 4K Ultra HD dash cam. Auto Express said: "KENWOOD's DRV-A601W unit has some features that we really like from a dash cam. Chief among these is a magnetic mount, making it much easier to remove the camera to keep it safe or swap between cars. KENWOOD's online and smartphone viewing apps are also the easiest and most intuitive to use. In terms of footage, the KENWOOD's daytime video is exceptional when it's on smoother roads, as you'd expect from a 4K camera, and it copes well with rapidly changing light conditions."

4K Ultra HD recording - there's nothing better to capture the fine details - like a number plate. The DRV-A601W has a recording resolution of 3840 x 2160 - 8.3M pixels, 4 times the Full HD resolution (2.0M: 1920 x 1080), which allows it to reproduce more obscure images such as a license plate detail. Connecting the optional rear camera (KCA-R200) makes it possible to record front and rear footage simultaneously.

The 3inch full-colour screen perfectly fits its camera without any loss of resolution. Allowing you to use the playback feature to review any footage captured.

Want to add Smart Parking Mode? Add the CA-DR1030 hard-wire kit for a permanent power supply, which activates this feature.

Unparalleled Clarity with 4K Ultra HD Recording

Don't miss a single detail on the road – capture every nuance with the DRV-A601W's remarkable 4K Ultra HD recording capability. Boasting a staggering resolution of 3840 x 2160 and 8.3 million pixels, this dash cam offers an unprecedented level of clarity. With four times the resolution of Full HD, you'll never have to strain your eyes to decipher crucial elements like license plate details again.

Enhancing Visual Excellence: HDR Dash Cam Captures Optimal Recorded Imagery

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.

polarised filter lens for kenwood dash cams

Polarised Filter Lens

The polarised filter 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.

DRV-A601W dash cam wide 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 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.
