Cobra SC 220C Dual View Dash Cam vs Kenwood DRV-A310W Dashcam

Buy the Cobra SC 220C if you want a front-and-cabin dual camera, 1440p front footage, a 3-inch screen and live alerts. Buy the Kenwood DRV-A310W if you want a small, simple 1080p front camera with GPS and HDR and you don't need an interior view. The Cobra does more and records sharper front video, but it is bulkier, uses a suction mount and its 360 Alerts depend on a subscription-style connected service. The Kenwood is compact, adhesive-mounted and easy to live with, but its rear camera is a separate add-on and it tops out at 1080p.

• Choose the Cobra SC 220C if you want one camera covering the road and the cabin, sharper 1440p front video, and red-light and speed-trap alerts on screen.
• Choose the Kenwood DRV-A310W if you want a small, set-and-forget 1080p front dash cam with GPS and HDR and no need for an interior camera.
