【Kaedear】KDR-D21 SMARTRecordDisplay Review
Depends on the use of Main.
I purchased Mirror as Main, which is easy to see during the day.
I bought this one considering the cosmetics including Included Parts:because it was difficult to see the screen in Situation where the sun shines during the daytime with my previous driver's recorder with Monitor.
The screen visibility is not as good as the Tanax SMARTRideMonitor installed on Main's Motorcycle, but if you don't compare it to the Tanax SMARTRideMonitor, you can see the screen even in daylight at a perfectly acceptable level.
In terms of the total price including the Air Pressure Monitor, I think it is a totally reasonable price.
I use it in car play, but when I want to use it in Camera screen, it tries to switch to car play by itself, so I have to operate it each time to switch the screen back.
I would appreciate it if this is fixed in a future version up, but I have no problem using it as a SMARTMonitor.
But overall satisfaction is very good.
If you are hesitant about Tanax because of the price, I totally recommend it. Quantity with the same content:Set is almost half the price, lol.

Touch screen is slow to respond. Instruction Manual is too easy.
The instruction manual only describes it roughly, so you have to learn how to use it by hand. Except for disassembling the bike, wiring is not difficult with color-coded connectors. However, since the connectors for the front and rear cameras are the same color, it is recommended to temporarily turn on the power in the middle of the installation (since the rear camera has a reversing function). If you are concerned about the dark current, the instructions say to connect both ACC and constant power to ACC, but I connected ACC and constant separately because I was concerned about the inability to use the parking monitoring function and the time gap. If you use your motorcycle infrequently and are concerned about battery drain, it is better to use only the ACC connection for constant and ACC. As mentioned in the title, the response of the touch screen is sluggish. It is frustrating with gloves on. There is no automatic screen illumination adjustment (I always use max except at night). The smartphone app is supposed to be able to connect to the driver's recorder, but I don't know the password, so I still can't use it. The home button on the map screen is annoying. View detail
Solid, compact, and unobtrusive around the handlebar
The SMARTMonitor has a growing selection, but the KaEdia KDR-D21 is characterized by its compactness, versatility, and high quality. 4.5-inches screen is smaller than a Smartphone, but it is recommended for those who want to refresh the handlebar area. The 4.5-inches screen is smaller than that of a Smartphone.
Installation is easy
Simply connect the power supply (Red and Black) to the Battery and the Attachment power supply (Yellow color).
All that remains is to connect the front and rear Camera and GPS to the Body (Monitor) to complete the SMARTMonitor equipped with a driverless camera.
There are four cords coming out of the Body, but they are soft and not difficult to maneuver.
The connection to CarPlay seems a bit slower than other models, but so far there seems to be no concern about disconnection after a long drive. Also, there is no such thing as losing direction when turning such as UTurn so far.
Since recent CarPlay includes meeting tools such as Teams and Zoom, it may be possible to do things like Touring while talking with multiple people instead of Income connection.
DriveRecorder is generally called highly functional, with beautiful images, and by using the KaEdia application, you can obtain sufficient information even with a Smartphone.
The app is stable in normal use, but in my environment (iPhone) the app crashes when setting up Camera. I hope this will improve in the future.
I have a Handlebar Brace (KDR-HB2) on my CB200X, so I put SMARTMonitor on it.
The company is also a well-known manufacturer of Smartphone Holders, so the product comes standard with an anti-vibration function and seems to have no durability issues.
This was my first experience with the Tire Air Pressure Check, but I was able to Pair it by removing the Pairing on the DeFault and re-installing it again. If it does not work, you may want to remove it from the Valve and reattach it again.
SDCard is not included, so it is recommended that you obtain the necessary Size's first.
Tests before connection can also be performed by feeding power to the USB-CConnector located next to the SDSlot.
(I know it's hard to use USBConnector when it's on-board)
Overall, the quality is good and the features are adequate for the price.SMARTMonitorQuantity recommended for those who are looking for a Compact screen.:Set
