Colors are well represented, while exposures are well balanced and glare is kept to a minimum. In very bright conditions you might see some sun spots - particularly from the rear view camera, but otherwise, the image quality is fantastic. The second is a brand new install, front and rear, in a 2007 Camry. It has the same behavior immediately after installation.
Resolution: 1440P Front 1080P Rear ( Note that adding the rear cam limits the Front to 1080P maximum resolution) And after a few days of trail and error i also got it down to here it would only trigger 1 or 2 times on a 40 minute drive, but then i said WTH and just forgot all about using that feature. You can see bitrate as sort of a multiplier factor for image quality and detail, so if a lot happen in the video you want to have a high bitrate, but say you just film a sidewalk where your car is parked, well then you can make do with a much lower bitrate.
Key Features
I wouldn't call the resolution drop a "flaw" as many 2-channel cams are like this. But it does need to be more clearly stated in advertising specs and not just hidden in a user-manual which most people are not going to read before purchasing their cam even though we should be doing that. Could be done easily in listed specs such as: What car do you have ? newer cars with smarts like can bus in the electric system can some times be problematic choosing the right fuses to tap into. The built-in 3-axis G Sensor with adjustable sensitivity detects an outside force, forcing the device to save what has just been recorded. In addition, the GPS Receiver allows your videos to add location and speed data. By connecting the optional rear camera ( KCA-R100) it is possible to record front and rear directions simultaneously, both in Full HD quality. The memory card should have no broken sectors ASO, and depending on the speed of your card reader you might also be able to see if the card have the promised read / write speeds.
The optional Kenwood KCA-R200 turns the DRV-A601W into a front and rear dash cam (Image credit: Amy Davies/Digital Camera World) As a result, the company pushes the optional hard-wiring kit that plugs into the vehicle’s main power supply and allows the camera to run even when the engine is off. It’s sufficiently clever to not drain the battery, but it will record 30 seconds of footage if the built-in 3-axis G Sensor recognizes a collision or impact. Anyone who has some experience with car maintenance should be able to fit the kit in around 30 minutes, but it could be worth seeking out an auto electrician if need be.The DRV-A601W includes a Polariser Filter. This reduces such things as dashboard reflection on the windscreen, which may appear in certain positions or due to weather conditions, and helps to lessen glare on sunny days, making it possible to record clear outside images. CA-DR1030 hardwire kit - There is nothing worse than parking your car and going shopping, only to find when you return that someone has damaged your vehicle and left the scene without leaving a message! The hardwire kit adds Smart Parking Mode features and provides permanent power when installed. No more messy cable by using the cigar adapter supplied with the DRV-A601W dash cam.
