Kent RO, the pioneer in the water purifier industry recently forayed into automotive security with the launch of CamEye. The Kent CamEye is one of a kind car camera that packs next-generation security features to ensure the safety of the passengers and the vehicle it’s mounted on. This security device is miles ahead of cheap Chinese dashcams that simply capture the front video footage and save it on a memory card. Unlike regular dash cam for cars, CamEye houses multiple features in a single unit such as dual cameras for video recording, integrated GPS tracker, and 2-way calling.
Speaking of CamEye, this particular dashcam is much more than just a car accessory. The device can be used for both personal and commercial purposes. It can act as a potential lifesaver for your loved ones who happen to commute on a daily basis in chauffeur driven cars. Besides, real-time GPS tracking and onboard sensors allow owners to ensure the security of their vehicle, anytime and anywhere.
Without further ado, let’s talk about the various hardware and software features of Kent CamEye.
Kent CamEye Key Features
- 720p dual cameras – The night-vision enabled HD cameras automatically records a time-lapse video and audio of both the views when the car is in motion. This lets you monitor everything that’s happening inside and outside the car.

Our Thoughts
CamEye by KENT is certainly not just another dashcam that you would consider just to record the video footage while travelling. The device rather emphasizes on the latest technology to ensure the safety of children and women. Besides personal cars, it can be used on school buses, cabs and logistics vehicles.
Kent CamEye is priced at Rs. 17,999 in India and is available on Amazon.in with a 3-months free subscription. The only downside is that users have to pay a monthly or yearly fee to use the cloud and GPS tracking features after the trial ends. The subscription ranges from Rs. 450 to 600 per month or Rs. 4,500 to 6,000 per year.

When will this be available in the USA?
I don’t think so.
Expensive but worthy product in terms of children safety or unwanted issues during traveling.
