Kenwood DRV-N520 Dash Cam Black

Expensive but works well with 8020dabs doing exactly what it should.Not easy to navigate set up

I purchased this for my newly installed kenwood stereo.. it works perfectly and the picture quality is great. The fact that you can watch the video feed from the in car display is an excellent plus. However buyer beware that after purchasing this product i discovered that the same company is selling the same product on their website for about 30 pounds cheaper.

Great product from kenwood.. Works well with their higher model headunits.. Great features & camera.

I got this with a compatible Kenwood head unit. That means that the video can be viewed from inside the car which is such a good thing over the stand alone cameras where you have to run off with the SD card to see what you got. Be aware though that for at least some head units there is a missing cable (cable CA-C3AV) and getting it from Kenwood is a trial never mind the eye watering cost! You can get it for a fraction of the price from e-bay.The camera its self is generally fine and is good for seeing what occurred almost all the time. In really challenging situations it can preform surprisingly poorly. You can not reliably get the number plate you want from it which I was disappointed at though it very much depends on the situation. You can see from the images what is too much but in other circumstances you can get very clear images. With luck Kenwood will bring out a better camera in the future that can be plugged into the old head units.The camera does have a number of advanced features and I have switched all of these off as the collision detection goes off going over many pot holes and even some speed bumps with a very annoying ping! You can change the sensitivity but I could not get an acceptable setting. The parking collision has the same issue and reviews say that everything else is a bit of a waste of time.Lastly many people have complained that the camera will only take 32GB cards and that it only comes with an 8GB one. I find that odd as 8GB seams to do about an hour making me wonder why this matters too any extent.
