Dashboard Camera Function Guide
With new technology readily available, JVCKENWOOD has developed an easy to use dashboard camera for everyday use. The device allows its user to record files in1 minute lengths. These files are easy to download to your desktop or laptop. In most instances, the video files are easily played on your mobile device. While most cameras traditionally use the entire capacity of the SD card until it is removed, the device automatically deletes the oldest file to create space for the new video.
Dashboard camera offers two modes:
1. Video Mode: Video mode will set to default when the device is active. 2. Playback Mode: Users can view all previously recorded videos and photos taken.
FEATURES: Automatic Start/Stop Technology: Maintain full focus on the road! The vehicles ignition will let the device turn on while connected to your vehicles 12 V outlet or cigarette lighter socket. When the vehicle is turned off, the device will automatically shut down, preserving the device power for those moments you are not connected to permanent power.
The device lets users adjust camera settings to get the perfect shot. For a great photo every time, here are a few tips from the designers:
1. Reduce the amount of sky in the picture. By adjusting the device towards the road, the automatic exposure compensation will be focused on the road and not the light from the sky.
2. Position the device in the center of the dash. If you place the device behind the rearview mirror, you will avoid all distractions from the road.
3. Remove any objects that will obstruct your shot such as the protective lens cover. Clear vision will allow you to record everything in one shot.

Note: – The KENWOOD dash cam does not support Type-C USB cables with PD (Power
Delivery) fast charging or USB-C to USB-C cables. We recommend using the car power cable provided by us. – The KENWOOD dash cam requires a 2A current for normal operation, and the KENWOOD USB car charger provides a 2.6A output current. We recommend using the USB car charger provided by us. – Please do not use other USB ports in the car to connect the KENWOOD dash cam, as most car USB ports deliver less than 1A output, while the KENWOOD dash cam requires a 2A current for normal operation.

From now on, DRV-A610W will automatically turn on and start recording once power has been made available from the 12V outlet. Just start the vehicle and start driving! – If there is no 12V outlet or cigarette lighter for your vehicle, use the included
USB power cable but please notice that your USB power output port should provide 2A current to make sure the device work properly. – DO NOT wire DRV- A610W directly to the car cigarette outlet or any 12V outlet. Doing so will result in permanent damage to the camera. – You can purchase our hardwire kit from the KENWOOD official website that will directly connect to your vehicle’s fuse box. This will allow you to have your 12V outlet available for other use. Please read carefully and follow the instructions below to help you operate DRV-A610W safely and refer to the official website for accessory instructions.

1. Position film location and clean windshield Before applying, clean windshield location, remove any dust, oil and use any cloth to give one last polish for best performance.

2. Remove the protective layer Before sticking, pull out the actual film protector. Pull out and remove the protective layer on one side.

3. Attach static side film to the windshield Adhere the static side to the windshield, press out and remove excess bubbles using a squeegee or plastic card. Make sure to press it fully to adhere on the windshield.

4. Install 3M adhesive mount Mount 3M adhesive mount within the surface of the film and avoid the area that spans between windshield and film.
18

Note: – Do not reuse windshield sticker applicator film repeatedly. This will reduce the
adhesion performance and cause the static film to fall off. TIP: – When selecting a location for the mount, make sure it’s on a glass surface that is
smooth and free of paint. – Before mounting, clean the area with a dry / clean cloth and add a small amount of
moisture to the windshield. This allows a stronger bond to form between the glass and the mount. – Remember to place the mount within the area of the vehicle’s windshield wipers.
5. HIDE AND TRIM THE CABLE Unplug DRV-A610W first to hide and trim the car power cable into the roof and panel. The provided cable clips can help you keep the power cable neat.

The 2K resolution rear camera KCA-R210 is sold separately on the official website.
20

(1) SELECT A LOCATION ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD Select a location on the rear windshield, attach the adhesive mount, and place the rear camera in place. The rear camera mount is designed for sloping windows or vertical / flat windows.
Note: – It is recommended to place the rear windshield camera within the windshield
wiping area at the top of the rear windshield to record as clear an image as possible. Make sure the heating grid lines do not obstruct the view. The additional special double-joint bracket allows you to install the rear camera on a vertical surface, supporting various angles of installation and compatibility with various car models.

23

Note: – For hatch back trunk opening, leave about 3-5 inches of extra cable at the
vehicle’s end to ensure adequate cable connections, and comfortably open the trunk without moving the rear camera.
– Check all airbags locations on the vehicle owner’s manual. DO NOT route cable over the airbags to avoid potential interference with airbag deployment and posing a problem with proper airbag operation.
– For vehicles that have headliner and curtain airbag, the wire should run through from the bottom of the passenger side carpet trim, along the rear seat side, to the rear windshield molding, and to the selected position.
24

(4) CONNECT THE REAR CAMERA CABLE TO THE REAR CAMERA When all the cable is in place, connect the rear camera cable to the rear camera, line up cable pins to secure the cable connection. Check the front dash cam to ensure the rear camera is working correctly.
(5) ADJUST THE REAR CAMERA Once the mount is set to the rear windshield, ensure the display on the front dash cam (front and rear views) are level. Press the Screen Select Button when recording to switch from the rear display to full screen, adjusting the rear camera accordingly. Ensure the display is in the center, DO NOT attempt to adjust the dash cam while driving.
00:22
11:17:01 04/25/2024 25

Note: – You can also connect the dash cam to your mobile device and download
KENWOOD DASH CAM MANAGER on App Store / Google Play. Use its Live View function to adjust the rear camera. – If you still find it too much trouble or don’t want to do it yourself. It is recommended to find your local reliable Auto Dealer Service Department, Car stereo Installer, and Auto Mechanic shop to ask about dash cam installation. Fees may vary from one shop to another. Please ask and check the reputation of the shop before installing it. – We have designed the rear camera to be waterproof with an IP67 rating (IP67 waterproof rating for the camera part), allowing you to place the camera outside of the car without fear of heavy rain or snow. This provides you with clearer video footage. Unlike regular dash cams that can only be placed on the rear windshield, placing the camera outside of the car directly captures better quality footage as there are no heat-insulating films obstructing the view. However, installing it outside your car requires professional wiring and installation. If you want to install it externally, please go to a relevant store and have a professional install it for you to avoid danger or damage.
WARNING: ALWAYS pay attention to the road ahead of you. Driving with distractions on the road may result in penalties, accidents, or even death. PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY. ALWAYS place the mount in a location that will not obstruct the driver’s view of the road. We recommend you place the mount behind the rearview mirror on the passenger side, within the windshield wiping area. DO NOT place the camera in front of the driver’s side. DO NOT place the mount within the airbag deployment area or near any mirrors. DO NOT operate the DRV-A610W while driving. Remember, the camera will automatically record when the vehicle engine has started. PLEASE place the camera where the power cable is easily concealed and will not distract the driver. Avoid areas such as the steering wheel, pedals, or gear shifter. PLEASE remember to clean the area where the mount will be placed. PLEASE adjust your camera settings before you begin driving.
