- A: AnswerSame here, just the blue light, no way to reset????
Answered by Ryan
Q: QuestionCan you see a live view of the camera from the smart phone app?(2 answers)
A: AnswerIn a way yes, It's kind of tedious getting it to live view. you have to stop recording on the camera. Then you have to connect to it via wifi and then open the kenwood app and view it that way. and record that way if you want to keep live view going. definitely not simultaneous.Answered by Victor
- A: AnswerThe camera breaks up video files into smaller clusters on purpose for transferring and editing. This is normal. The camera does not stop recording so you should see all your videos, just broken down into segments.
Answered by BigE
Q: QuestionDoes it record continuously and overwrite the oldest recording?(3 answers)
A: AnswerSo far I have not found 'loop recording' to work. When the card is close to full, it will shrink the size of the .mov files, which then become unplayable. When the card runs out of space, no more recording, and I get a message to format the SD card.Answered by JDane
- A: AnswerThe hard kit wiring would be needed if wanting to capture an incident when the vehicle is not running. To check into this further please consult with Kenwood's customer service team they have more information about the product.

Q: QuestionWhat about night vison?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe dash camera doesn't offer night vision.Answered by Kenwood Product Expert
Q: QuestionDo you have to have it professionally installed(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe camera does not need to be professionally installed if just putting it on the dash. If you want to do the hard kit wiring then at that point you might need to if you are not familiar with the wiring.Answered by Kenwood Product Expert
- A: AnswerYou need to go into the menu. Go to format and select it. It will erase unsaved files and your good to go. I would suggest printing the owners manual off the web or download it to your phone. The manual will tell you everything you need to know.

A gem! Incredible list of features!
Although there's not many reviews on the internet I was pleasantly surprised with the purchase. It has an impressive list of features that aren't obvious on the box or in the store. Besides taking excellent video, my favorite feature is the included Kenwood Video player. The Windows 10 application is not just a video player -- it includes location, GPS coordinates, current speed, average speed and actively tracks your whole route on the map! It is a great way to document your commute or collect evidence in case of accident or police stop. The unit was easy to install and the included mounts and cabling provided everything needed for a clean install. It includes 65GB of storage which is enough for 3 hours of recordings. I intend to purchase the rear camera as well.

Could of been a 1 star
The only reason i give it 3 stars is cause it keeps the cops behaving correct once they see the cam they straight besides that it has a mind of its own turns on when it wants to for the past week it was just the blue light that was on now that doesnt even turn on no morei still have not gotten any clear answers

Great Dash CAM!
I have tried several Dash Cams. By far this is the best one overall. The quality is actually 4K for the front. I purchased the rear compatible camera and the resolution is split at 1440p, which is still great quality. It is very easy to set up and use. You can also download a software from Kenwood to view the video. The software gives you all the details to include your entire route via the GPS. It also shows your date/time, latitude/longitude, speed and license plate on the video itself. Out of all the Dash Cams I’ve tried, I’m glad to finally find one that was made this easy with the quality needed for the video. I highly recommend.
