Detail is very well represented even when shooting at less than 4K. It is perfectly possible to read number plates and so on at the 2560k setting if you’re using the rear and front camera in combination, but it would make sense to switch to 4K for the best detail if you only have the front-facing camera.

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."

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. 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.When your vehicle is parked and turned off, the Smart Parking Mode becomes active.
