For a less than $200 camera, dang it does a lot. Lane departure warnings, it warns me 500 feet in advance of red light cameras, automatically saves video in the event of an incident, you could teach a toddler to use it, doesn't get any better than that. Garmin all the way

This device is so easy to setup and comes with everything you need. Haven't had any issues since I've purchased it. Recording look pretty good and it so easy to connect to cellphone and watch videos. I did buy a bigger memory card because I drive alot.

This camera is “bang for your buck”
Not the 4k quality some want but still very clear during day and night driving, alerts are good but not needed in my opinion (land departure… etc). The one thing you will need to buy aside is the constant power cable, for continuous recording, the camera only has about 15-20 minutes on its own. Strong recommend.

This dashcam is easy to install and gets the job done. It will automatically record when the vehicle is turned on. It will also record over old content as needed. You can capture accidents and it will automatically send that to the cloud. Also it has lane departure warnings which is great. You can also put a time stamp and mph if you choose that option.

Great purchase. The camera was easy to set up and easy to use. Since I was driving cross country and wanted to record the whole trip, I purchased a bigger memory card. Very pleased with the quality of the video.
The notifications can be a little much. After the first day I disabled everything except forward collision.

Excellent.
Works exactly as advertised. Tiny camera that packs a big punch.
Amazing how it alerts me for red light cameras, lane departure, collision warning, and car in front of me moving after a red light.
Wow

Very satisfied with this purchase. I put in my Chevy Silverado and it looks great, voice commands work and it doesnt fall off the windshield. Video quality is good and no issues with data storage yet! Would reccomend to anyone looking into getting a dashcam.

I bought this for my wife as a gift, she does home health care and does a lot of driving to and from patients houses. Easy to install, works great. She really like it and has helped her out of a few sketchy situations where someone almost hit her and drove off. Great product.

I have several dashcams. Several I have put in my granddaughter’s cars, one in my wife’s van and This one is in my car. I like it’s size and yet it still gives ma coverage both horizontal and vertical. I am familiar with the Garmin name through navigation items and thought their dashcam would be equally designed and functionality. So far have not been disappointed.

Works as advertised. Garmin app is helpful for guided setup. That said, i really struggled to connect this camera to my phone (required for all those extra features) but had no issues the next day. Not sure what changed.

I like the video that this came provides but it will require you to download the app so you can set it up and know everything is good. It is a bit sensitive so closing your door may activate an event so you'll end up having to get into it to delete all your saved door closings but over sensitivity for a camera is better than not so that's what convinced me for 5/5 stars

Video quality: The dashcam offers good video quality, providing clear footage of the road ahead.
Incident detection and alerts: The dashcam has sensors that can detect sudden movements or collisions. When an incident is detected, the dashcam may automatically save and lock the footage to prevent overwriting.
Wide-angle lens: A wide-angle captures a broader view of the road, ensuring that important details are not missed.
Parking mode: This has a parking mode feature that can monitor your vehicle even when the engine is turned off. They may activate and start recording if they detect motion or impact while in parking mode. Requires additional OBD connector
Mobile app integration: The companion apps allows you to view and manage dashcam footage from your smartphone or tablet.

I bought this camera for my wife on Mother’s Day, I have one in my jeep and my daughter has one in her jeep. They are a very durable high-quality camera that produces very good pictures and video! They are very easy to operate and maintain.

Easy installation and decent picture. Quality feel expected from a Garmin. Small enough to not interfere with windshield of an F150 but may have a bigger impact a small sedan or mid-sized pickup truck.

Good quality. I recommend this over mounting a dead fish with glasses to the windshield using duct tape. Small, so it doesn’t cry for attention. Good quality recording. A simple, clean and elective, forward facing camera.

Very compact camera with reasonable resolution. App connectivity could be better but I pull out the memory card anyway. Best of all, price is solid for all the features.
