      We are happy to assist in troubleshooting please start by visiting support.garmin.com. There you will find this article to guide you in resolving a potential issue with missing video. https://bit.ly/3Qtpdku Also keep in mind the device is always recording. Once the memory card is full, it will overwrite the oldest file on the card. Its important that if an incident isnt detected by the camera, you save the video from the recording "loop" for later reference. You can minimize the possible need to do this by installing the largest compatible card. For this unit it is a 512GB microSD. This card will allow for over 109 hours of 720p video to be stored.

    Tiny and good

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The best thing about it is how small it is. It sits entirely behind my mirror so I can’t see it at all from inside my car, and it’s really almost unnoticeable from outside too. The image quality is decent, maybe not cinema 4K etc but fine for what I need. I’ve never tried the voice commands, I just press the button on the camera if I want to bookmark something to easily find and download later. The app is a bit clunky to use and slow to transfer video from the cam into my phone, but it works reliably.

    Allot of connection problems. Gets very warm

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Garmin Mini 2 has connection issues to view and playback though the android Garmin Drive App. Can update settings ok as is i think by bluetooth connection seems to work, but the wifi fails so no way to live view or playback what was recorded. The firmware was updated and connection to computer windows Garmin express app worked. Went to troubleshoot steps on support site , but did not resolve. My phone is 2020 and on android 11. Setup should work better and made more reliable like other devices. Seems overly complicated to get to work. See reviews of the drive app on play store, others had similar issues. So not sure if it is the app that is issue or device. Also the Mini gets very warm. Video and audio good and voice command worked well Form factor is good. Not worth the hassle in my opinion as app is vital for this cam as no screen so both need to work seamless.

    it’s a good dash cam if you’re looking for a clean look and if you don’t want anyone to know you have one, hides very well behind the rear view mirror, although you do have to make a garmin drive account which doesn’t cost anything and the first time trying to connect the dash cam to the app didn’t work but tried it again the next day and it worked fine, also it has collision detection so it can sense if you hit something or get into an accident and automatically saves the footage definitely a helpful feature

    It’s very easy to install and use, my wife is impressed how she does not see the wire hanging out. The video quality is very good, I am trying to set it up to record audio also, I haven’t tried to review the audio yet. Will review the audio soon.

    I really like this dashcam - easy to install, simple instructions and a great mobile app for reviewing footage. Solid video quality for the price and its small form factor makes it easy for any vehicle.

    Does not Record when vehicle is off

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you want a dash cam to keep an eye on your vehicle when it’s parked, this one isn’t for you. If you use the 12v adapter (cigarette lighter) and your car allows it to provide power constantly, the camera will stay on 24/7. Not great for your car’s battery I connected two of these to an external large usb battery. They would never turn off and it’s been a huge pain to keep them powered. Why don’t they only turn on when they detect an incident ??

      Thank you for your feedback. The Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 does include the Parking Guard feature. Parking Guard allows the Dash Cam Mini 2 to monitor activity around your parked vehicle and automatically alerts you with video clip notifications to the Garmin Drive app on your compatible smartphone if an incident is detected. It requires an active Wi-Fi connection and constant power. Garmin

    This small dash cam is the perfect size that minimizes the view of the windshield. It gives it a subtle/unnoticeable look and records video well.

    Sleek and compact

    Sleek compact design makes it discreet and doesn’t cause any interference in the view. App is a little bit slow to connect which needs improvement.
