“Does this power off as soon as you turn the ignition off? Or does it have a built in battery that lets it store the last clip and settings before shutting off?”

No, the Garmin Dash Cam Mini2 does not have an internal battery. Instead, it has a super-capacitor that gives enough time for the Garmin Dash Cam to properly power down when external power is removed from the device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.2 Power Cords came with mine: 1 for continuous recording once car is parked but records from motion only and one that is used as a charger.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on how you power it. If its powered from an ACC outlet that stays active for a time after shutting the car off, then it will stay active till power shuts off. If you just wire it up to a fuse that shuts immediately when car is turned off, then you'll have enough power in the camera to save the fire before it shuts down. I used an OBDII cable adapter, this provides me around 15 minutes of camera power when I run errands. It's clean, no wiring needed, just hide the wires behind moldings, plug it in and that's it.
