LONG BEACH, CA (04.19.2021) – JVC Mobile Entertainment is excited to announce it is now shipping its KV-DR305W ($99.95 MAP) dashboard camera.
The KV-DR305W is a feature rich, value-priced dash cam, boasting Full HD (1920 x 1080) recording, WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, an F2.0 wide angle lens, along with built-in GPS and Wi-Fi.

Its user-friendly design allows simplified control with 4 easy-to-access side-mounted buttons that correspond to icons displayed on its 2.7” full-color screen.

By default, when its built-in G shock sensor senses an incident such as a sudden impact or an accidental crash during continuous recording, it records and stores those events in a dedicated folder. All recordings can be accessed by removing the microSD card and viewing on a computer with the JVC Route Watcher software. Alternatively, recordings can be viewed via a Wi-Fi connected smartphone with the aid of the JVC DRV Link app. This app also enables the user to access additional camera control functionality.
Even at this price point, recording quality is unparalleled. By capturing over 2 million pixels at 30fps (frames per second) and pairing its WDR technology (which helps to reduce headlight glare or shadows) and F2.0 wide-angle lens, playback of road events are clear and precise.
