Small, Compact And Smaller Than A Credit Card

The KENWOOD DRV-A610W gives you 4K dash cam recording in a small, discreet body. Its compact size makes installation cleaner and helps keep your windscreen tidy, with less distraction while driving. Smaller than a credit card, the DRV-A610W suits modern cars, vans, campervans, hybrids and EVs where space and neat fitting matter.

This makes the DRV-A610W ideal for drivers who want high-quality 4K front recording, GPS, G-Sensor protection, app access and optional rear camera support without a bulky dash cam on the screen.

How To Power The DRV-A610W: Cigar Adapter Or Hardwire Kit

The KENWOOD DRV-A610W includes a cigar lighter power adapter for a simple plug-and-go setup. Plug the adapter into your vehicle’s 12V power socket, connect the cable to the dash camera, and the DRV-A610W starts recording when the vehicle powers up.

This is the easiest way to use the dash cam for everyday driving, commuting and regular journeys. It gives drivers a quick setup without permanent wiring, making it a good choice for company cars, leased vehicles, shared vehicles or drivers who prefer a simple installation.

For Smart Parking Mode and a cleaner permanent power connection, choose the optional CA-DR1130 Auto Stop/Start Hardwire Kit.

2.0" Full-Colour TFT Display

The KENWOOD DRV-A610W includes a clear 2.0" full-colour TFT display, giving drivers quick access to key dash cam functions without relying only on a smartphone. Use the screen to view recorded videos, review the camera view, and adjust settings on the dash cam itself.

The display also helps during installation, as the camera angle and road view appear on screen before driving. This makes setup simpler and helps ensure the DRV-A610W records the best forward-facing view through the windscreen.

For drivers who want a compact 4K dash camera with simple everyday control, the built-in screen adds extra convenience while keeping the unit small and discreet.

F1.8 Lens For Bright, Detailed Dash Cam Recording

The KENWOOD DRV-A610W features a bright F1.8 fixed focus lens, designed to capture more light for clearer 4K dash cam footage. This supports sharper road detail during everyday driving, early mornings, evenings and darker conditions.

With a 135.6° diagonal ultra-wide viewing angle, the DRV-A610W records a broad view of the road ahead, including lanes, junctions, road signs and surrounding traffic. This gives drivers a stronger visual record of each journey, with more useful detail from the front of the vehicle.

For drivers who want a compact 4K dash camera with strong low-light performance, wide road coverage, and clear video evidence, the F1.8 lens offers an important advantage.

WDR And HDR Technology For Balanced Video

The KENWOOD DRV-A610W uses WDR and HDR technology to record clearer dash cam footage in changing light conditions. This helps balance bright and dark areas within the same scene, such as shaded roads, low-sun conditions, tunnels, headlights, and street lighting.

WDR helps improve detail when the road view has a strong contrast between light and shadow. HDR helps reduce overexposed highlights and underexposed dark areas, giving you a more useful video record during daytime and nighttime driving.

Combined with 4K recording and the bright F1.8 lens, WDR and HDR technology help the DRV-A610W capture clearer road detail across a wider range of driving conditions.

GPS Receiver And 3-Axis G-Sensor For Added Driving Data

The KENWOOD DRV-A610W includes a built-in GPS receiver that records speed, date, and location coordinates with your dash cam footage. This adds useful journey information to your recordings and gives each video file more context when reviewing footage later.

The 3-Axis G-Sensor detects external forces, such as impacts or sudden movement. This helps support a clearer record of driving incidents, with key motion data linked to the recorded footage.

The G-Sensor sensitivity settings include High, Medium, Low and Off, with Medium set as the default. This gives drivers simple control over how the dash cam responds to movement and impact while driving.

Add Rear Recording With The Optional KCA-R210

For extra coverage, the DRV-A610W works with the optional KCA-R210 rear-view dash camera. This 2K Wide Quad HD rear camera records the area behind the vehicle and supports front-and-rear recording with the DRV-A610W. Video files are stored separately as front and rear files on the dash camera microSD card.

The KCA-R210 has an IP67 dust- and waterproof protection rating, so it suits both inside and outside installations. This makes it useful for cars, vans, campervans, and vehicles where a clear rear view through the glass area is difficult.

Activate Smart Parking Mode With The CA-DR1130 Hardwire Kit

The optional CA-DR1130 Auto Stop/Start Hardwire Kit provides the dash camera with a tidy, permanent power connection and activates Smart Parking Mode. When fitted, the DRV-A610W supports three parking recording modes: Vibration Detection, Motion Detection and Time-lapse.

This hardwire kit reduces visible cable clutter and supports recording when the vehicle is parked and switched off. It suits drivers who want extra protection in car parks, driveways, work sites and overnight parking areas.
