The Simple Starting Point In The KENWOOD Dash Cam Range

The DRV-A310W is the entry model in the current KENWOOD dash cam range. It gives drivers core dash cam features in a compact and easy-to-use design.

You get Full HD front recording, HDR, GPS data, G-Sensor protection, smartphone app access, PC and Mac video review, a 32GB microSD card and support for optional rear recording. For many drivers, this gives the right mix of quality, value and everyday protection.

Neat Windscreen Fit For Smaller Vehicles And EVs

The DRV-A310W has a small body that helps keep the windscreen tidy. At 58.5 x 42.8 x 24.4 mm and 65 g, the camera sits neatly behind or near the rear-view mirror.

This discreet size suits modern cars, small cars, vans, campervans, hybrids and EVs where clean fitting matters. It records the road ahead without adding a large screen-mounted device to the driver’s view.

Plug Into Your 12V Socket And Start Driving

The DRV-A310W includes a cigar lighter car charger adapter and a 4m USB-A to USB-C power cable. Plug the adapter into your vehicle’s 12V socket, connect the cable to the dash camera and the DRV-A310W powers up when the vehicle starts.

This simple setup suits drivers who want dash cam recording without permanent wiring. It also works well for leased vehicles, shared cars, company cars and drivers who prefer a quick setup.

For a cleaner hidden cable route and Smart Parking Mode, choose the optional CA-DR1130 Auto Stop/Start Hardwire Kit.

Quick Settings And Playback On The Built-In Screen

The DRV-A310W includes a 2.0" full-colour TFT display. This gives you direct access to settings, recorded videos and the live camera view.

The screen also helps during installation. You see the camera angle before driving, which helps position the dash cam for the best forward-facing view through the windscreen.

Wide 136 Degree Road View With A Bright F1.8 Lens

The DRV-A310W uses a bright F1.8 fixed focus lens and a 136° diagonal viewing angle. This gives a wide view of the road ahead, including lanes, junctions, road signs and surrounding traffic.

The bright lens helps the dash cam record clearer footage across changing driving conditions, including early mornings, evenings and darker roads.

HDR Helps With Headlights, Shade And Low Sun

The DRV-A310W includes HDR to help improve footage when bright and dark areas appear in the same scene. This helps during low sun, shaded roads, headlights, street lighting and tunnel entrances.

HDR helps reduce overexposed bright areas and underexposed dark areas, giving you a more useful Full HD recording across everyday driving conditions.

Journey Details Recorded With GPS And G-Sensor

The DRV-A310W includes a GPS receiver that records speed, time and location data with your dash cam footage. This gives each journey recording more context when you review footage later.

The built-in G-Sensor detects external force, such as impact, sharp movement or heavy braking. The sensitivity settings include High, Medium, Low and Off, with Medium set as the default.

Smartphone And Desktop Review For Your Footage

The DRV-A310W supports smartphone app access through Bluetooth or WiFi, helping drivers view and manage footage from an iPhone or Android smartphone.

For larger screen review, the KENWOOD Video Player desktop software supports video playback and editing on PC and Mac. This gives drivers more choice when checking journeys or saving important footage.

32GB Storage Included For First Setup

The DRV-A310W includes a 32GB microSD card, so you have recording storage ready from first use. This helps make setup simple and avoids the need to buy a separate memory card before using the dash cam.

The camera supports compatible microSDHC and microSDXC cards from 8GB up to 256GB, giving more storage options for longer driving needs.

Optional Accessories

The DRV-A310W works with optional accessories that add rear recording, Smart Parking Mode and a cleaner permanent power connection.

The KCA-R110 has IP67 dust and waterproof protection, so it supports inside or outside fitting depending on the vehicle and installation position. This makes it useful for cars, vans, campervans and vehicles where extra rear coverage matters.
