    Good dashcam over all but very difficult to get video to phone. App almost always has issues connecting to cam.

    It works exactly like we hoped it would. Garmin is my go to tech for smart watch so I figured I'd give them a try for the dash cam. We are very happy with it and it has all the features we wanted.

    Great overall product, tells you when traffic is starting to move in front of you, along with notifying you of any red-light camera's ahead.

    Not perfect but better than anything on Amazon for $50. Time will tell if the adhesive holds up though.

    It’s awesome and in the budget as well. All I will say, I have got this after I had an accident and it’s really useful to have dash cam in the car.

    Great in our Ford truck front window. We connected it to the OBD port, even though we had to order the separate cord from Garmin website. Parking guard mode is always on now. Great device.

    Works as expected. No complaints at all. Better than low quality ones and multiple steps ahead of cheaper ones in terms of reliability.

    Very cute. It records everytime you drive and automatically save the video in the app. The only thing is that the app doesn’t work if your car is not on, you need to start your car in order for it to work.

    This is a great little dashcam. The mount could be a little tighter but it’s stayed in place without any issues so far.

    Car was broken into and had Garmin Dash Cam 47 on with Parking Guard enabled. Cops arrive and immediately ask for evidence leading to suspects, ready to call backup for other cops to follow tracking on stolen devices and match the getaway vehicle description. I grab the dash cam, ready to review video, which had clear view of the direction of the getaway vehicle. When I see list of triggered incidents, NOTHING. My heart dropped. Two smashed windows, three bags taken, in broad day light, thieves physically in the vehicle and this dash cam captured NOTHING. Not worth the money for a device almost $100 more when compared to other devices that would deliver the same outcome. NOTE: Settings were left at default, exactly how they were since bought, and when the cam was taken out of the box. If this was meant to work some other way, like with high sensitivity settings, Garmin does not think so since their default sensitivity settings are less than high for parking guard mode.
