Features

Camera System: The Pioneer VREC-DH300D two-camera system features a Wide Quad HD (WQHD) 1440p dash camera, with an integrated 3" LCD display, and a 1080p HD rear-view camera. The front camera can provide a wide 135˚ diagonal view, while the rear camera can provide a wide 128˚ view behind your vehicle. Both cameras feature STARVIS back-illuminated CMOS technology that constantly adjusts the image quality to produce bright, color-rich images with fine detail that's ideal for capturing license plates, even in dark or near-infrared light conditions.

  • Dash Camera/Display: The dash cam features a 3.7 Megapixel CMOS sensor, for full HD 2560x1440p recordings. The dash cam features a built-in 3" LCD display for viewing either camera as well as playing back any video or pictures captured to the included micro-SD card. The front-facing camera features an adjustable angle of 20˚-75˚ for optimal aiming.
  • Rear Camera: The provided rear-view camera is an interior-mounted camera that can provide a constant rear-facing view of the road that can also be recorded to the dashcam's SD card. The rear camera features a built-in 9.5' video cable that attaches to the 19.5' video extension cable for a total length of 29'. The video extension cable is terminated in a USB-C connector that attaches to the dash camera. The dash camera can record both views while driving and when parked, for added security. The rear-facing camera can be adjusted from 0˚-90˚ for optimal aiming.

Note: The Pioneer VREC-DH300D is not designed to work as a backup or reverse camera and does not include a reverse wire connection.

G-Sensor: The VREC-DH300D features a built-in accelerometer that can sense an impact or collision, and will automatically protect video footage around the time. The G-sensor features 4 sensitivity settings, with 1 being the most sensitive and 4 the least, or can be turned off completely.

Recording Modes: The VREC-DH300D provides the following recording modes:

  • Video Recording: This mode is automatically activated when the engine is started. Recorded video is saved in a series of 20 second clips (default), with options for 1 minute and 3 minute long clips. The oldest recorded footage is overwritten when the included memory card is full.
  • Event Recording:
    • Automatic: The camera is constantly recording while driving and if the built-in G-sensor detects an impact, the VREC-DH300D will start saving footage from both cameras 20 seconds before the collision is detected and 20 seconds afterwards.
    • Manual: Recording can be done by manually pressing the Manual Record/Power button. This will record 20 seconds before and 20 seconds after pressing the button.
  • Video Playback: Recorded video from both cameras can be viewed from the dash cam's built-in 3" LCD display.

    Note: If the vehicle is moving at speeds higher than 19 MPH, recorded video cannot be played back.

Optional Parking Mode: The VREC-DH300D can provide continuous recording in parking mode when using the optional Pioneer RD-HWK200 Hardwire Kit (sold separately). This allows the dash cam to be powered on when the vehicle is turned off, providing additional vehicle protection. The Hardwire Kit also eliminates the need for a power cord to be plugged into your lighter socket, giving your vehicle interior a neater appearance.

Recording Format: The VREC-DH300D provides two selectable MP4 recording formats - H.264 and H.265.

GPS: A GPS antenna, built into the dash camera's mounting base, lets you have your exact location, time, and date stamped to the camera's video footage.

Microphone & Speaker: The Pioneer dash-cam features a built-in speaker and microphone, allowing audio to be recorded along with video, if desired.

Storage and Filing: All recorded video and pictures are stored on the included 16GB micro-SDHC card. Additional micro-SDHC and micro-SDXC cards from 8GB to 128GB can be used. Each of the different types of recording files are stored in folders named for that type of recording, making it easier to review and archive footage. The 2 storage files include: Video Recording and Event Recording.

Q
Does it work with MAC computers?
paul  Aug 18, 2022
1 answer
A
As it uses microSD cards, and record to mp4 formats. Mac computers should be able to read that natively with no problem!
thomas  Aug 19, 2022 (Staff)
Q
Can this system be "recorded" by voice activation? Ex: "save" command?
michael  Apr 24, 2022
1 answer
A
This unit does not respond to voice commands. We offer other dashcam systems that can respond to voice commands and advisors who can be reached by calling 1-800-324-9695 who can give a personal recommendation

Q
Can we hardwire and make it records on standby why that screen is turn off?
godwin  Apr 16, 2022
1 answer
A
There is no mention of being able to turn the screen off without also powering off the camera system. We expect the screen to be on when it is recording an event. We may have some that can turn off the screen while recording and I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a personal recommendation
jason  Apr 19, 2022 (Staff)
Q
Is this compatible with the DMH-W4660NEX model?
alexander  Jan 04, 2022
1 answer
A
This is a stand-alone system that is not designed to connect to any receiver. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a personal recommendation gear for your vehicle.
