another computer to view the recorded video. Copy the
video file on to the computer and allow for the computer

Be sure to hold the device still while you take your photo.

removed and the lenses are clean.
You may have a small amount of available space left for your

Only AFTER you back up all the files you need, format
the SD card with the device.

Be sure the protective f ilm on the suction cup has been
removed. Before you place it, make sure the surface is clean
and smooth. Wipe down the surface and add a small amount
of moisture to the suction cup to allow for a stronger bond.
Do not apply on a non-smooth surface or an area with paint.

Questions and answers
Hi! Just bought a Kenwood DRV-A601WDP and had it professionally installed. Got it a day before leaving for a 500 mile trip to OBX. left for the trip and noticed the camera only records about 15 minutes and then the unit shuts off until the car is restarted. I have the data disk provided installed. The installer is a very reputable business in my town, only sells Kenwood and says it’s not on his end. Obviously the camera was of no help on our trip. I’m hoping this is fairly easy to remedy so I don’t have to return the unit. Any help you can provide will be appreciated. Thank you
The Kenwood DRV-A601W may shut off after 15 minutes of recording due to the parking mode automatically stopping after a set duration. A user reported that their parking mode stopped after 10 minutes of continuous recording. Another possible cause could be related to power supply settings, such as a low voltage cut-off feature if the dash cam is connected to a continuous power source with a voltage threshold. Checking the device settings, firmware updates, and power supply configuration may help resolve the issue.
