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.

•

Precautions for installation

•

Install the device in a position where it will not block the front view of the driver (position where hidden by the rear-view mirror).

•

Install the device so that it is within the wiping range of the wiper.

•

Install the device in a position where it will not interfere with the movement of the rear-view mirror.

•

Take care not to install the device over the vehicle inspection sticker or other sticker.

•

Take care not to install the device where it will interfere with driving or airbag operation.

•

When installing the device in a vehicle equipped with a driving support system, check the instruction manual of the vehicle and then select an installation position that will not interfere with the driving support system.

•

If the device is installed incorrectly, event recording or parked recording may not work correctly.

•

Refer to “Installation and Connection” for the loosening of ﬁxing knob, installation orientation, installation angle, and other information and then install the device correctly.

•

Do not install the device near a digital terrestrial television antenna or an electrical component.

•

Doing so may reduce television receiver sensitivity or cause ﬂickering and noise.

•

When selecting a position for the suction 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 suction mount.

•

When ﬁxing the device with the adhesive mount, use a commercially available cleaning cloth or the like to wipe off all dirt and grease on the mounting surface. If the device is re-afﬁxed or mounted using, for example, general-purpose double-sided tape, the adhesion strength may weaken and cause the device to fall.

•

After mounting the device, leave it for 24 hours before use to enable the mounting strength of the adhesive mount to improve. Failing to do so may result in the adhesion of the adhesive mount becoming weak and the device falling.

•

Fix the cord in place with tape or the like so that it does not interfere with driving.

Precautions for use

•

Do not block the camera lens, get dirt on it, or place a reﬂective object near it.

•

When LED trafﬁc lights are recorded, video in which they appear to be ﬂickering or ﬂashing may be recorded. JVCKENWOOD assumes no responsibility with regard to the distinguishing or recording of trafﬁc lights. If coating is used on the windshield of the vehicle, recording quality may be affected.

•

There is no guarantee that the device can record video in all conditions.

Cleaning the device

•

When the device is dirty, wipe it with a dry silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If the device is very dirty, remove the dirt with a cloth with neutral cleaner on it then wipe off the cleaner. Wiping the device with a hard cloth or using a volatile substance such as thinner or alcohol may cause scratches, deformation, deterioration or other damage.

•

When the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with water. Rubbing the lens strongly with a dry cloth may cause scratches.

If you notice a problem with the device

If you notice a problem with the device, ﬁrst refer to “Troubleshooting” (P. 75) and check whether there is a way to resolve the problem. If the device does not return to normal after the reset, turn off the power of the device and then contact your dealer or nearest JVCKENWOOD service center.

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.

You can reset the settings either by operating inside of the SETUP MENU, or by restoring defaults. 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.

Right-hand Drive

Page 21

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.

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.

After the installation, slide and attach it onto the 3M mount and re-plug the power cable to DRV-A610W to power on the device.

Use the CAM IN port on the side of the front dash cam and plug in the rear camera cable.

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.

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.

Page 28

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.
