Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this in the back window of my minivan to get tailgaters to stop following me closely. It works. As soon as tailgaters see that there is a dash cam facing them they either drive around me or they don’t get too close to me anymore.

This dash cam is small and easy to locate without interfering with sightlines. Typical Garmin quality. My problem was connections. I wanted to check the real-time dash cam video periodically, and the Bluetooth link to my phone was problematic. With a streaming sound system on board as well as a OBDC connector also using Bluetooth, there was too much contention for fast connection & response by the dash cam. I decided I would do better with a traditional unit that had a small real-time display. Recommended for someone who wants to set-and-forget, trusting that video was recording properly if needed. I found I prefer more regular feedback.

Simple to use. Easy set up. Clear video. And pretty cheap for a garmin dashcam.

Video quality isn't the best, but it's good enough to see what's happening, especially if all you need is just evidence that an accident wasn't your fault. If that's all you need, it's worth it. It's small size also makes it easy to install & remove, especially if you travel often and use rental cars. However, the suction cup mount is sold separately and can take a while to get shipped to you.

Simple to install, great voice command features. It's not great in low light conditions. The mobile app is annoying to setup when syncing Bluetooth. I wish it was type C, besides that, image quality is decent enough to read license plates about 20ft ahead.

Perfect small camera that doesn't get in the way. Easy to install and set up through the Garmin Drive App. Only downside is the beeping that the camera does when activating. It is very apparent when looking back at the footage.

Great dash cam for price, Small, simple install. SD card not included had to buy my own. Definitely buy their recommended card generic card I had wouldn't work even though it met specs.

I am delighted with the Garmin Dash Cam Mini. It is tiny and inconspicuous. I also bought the Garmin Dash Cam 57 for my front windshield. The two cameras work well together, and there was very little configuration. I had the Best Buy Tech Dept install both cameras. They did an excellent job, and they were fast.

I have the 1st mini dashcam and I was pretty happy with it so I’ve decided to replace my husbands old dashcam with the mini 2. The videos are clear and simple to use. My only issue is it takes several tries to connect to the dashcam to do a live view. Other than this aggravation it’s an affordable device everyone should have in their vehicle. Hopefully a future update will resolve the issue I have.

Easy to install, unobtrusive, worked great with my iPhone 12 Pro. I didn't want a cam with a screen, so this was the perfect fit. At some point about 8 months after purchase, it stopped working. It kept flashing the green light, which I Googled and understood to mean it was stuck booting and never started up. I don't know if I had a bad firmware update, the harsh winter got to it, or who knows. All that said, I might still replace it with the same model + an extended warranty. I don't trust its longevity but it has enough good features at this price to be OK.

It’s a good little dash cam. I really like that I can manage everything on the app and that it has voice control. The picture quality is pretty good too and I feel much more secure having it

Garmin Mini 2 Got around to installing it after a few months. Not impressed so far. First morning after install, started the car, no lights, no noise. Didn't mess with it as running late. After my appointment, started car and it beeped and got a light. Pulled the card at home, verified no video of the 1st hour driving, but there is video after that. Quality seems acceptable but this is my first dashcam. Wish I knew a way to keep reflections off the dashboard from spoiling the video quality. Expected it to just connect to phone app each time I got in the car, but can't get it to connect without a power cycle each time. Flashing lights seem random and don't fit the manual explanations... blinks red mostly. Would probably choose a different brand if I had it to do over.

Easy to setup and connect to phone. Small to keep the aesthetics great. Does the job perfectly. But most of the times it is not easy to connect to phone, when phone is connected to Car via andriod auto or apple carplay.

very nice. compact and easy to use. doesn't get in the way.

I'm pretty happy with this dash cam, especially for the price. The video quality is good and I like the ability to save short clips of an event with voice commands. Sometimes the app can be a bit slow and there's been a few times I've had to reboot the camera, but really no major issues here.

Great first camera! When I was beginning my search for a dash camera, I was worried I'd have an eye sore until I found this camera. Super discreet. I don't mind the beeping. To me, it helps assure me that the camera is working before I start driving somewhere. The voice controls are super convenient and I have already used them a couple times! I was so impressed with the first one, I got two more for my commuter and my wife's vehicle. I love the assurance I get knowing I have something to help prove my case in the event something bad happens while driving. Overall, I highly recommend it!

It’s small, discreet, decent quality, but the app is horrendous… the cropping feature is not good at all, and downloading a video is even worse.. takes about 5 min to download a 1 min clip

I wanted to get an inexpensive dash cam and this fit the bill. Simple to use and picture quality looks good.

So far great little cam. I only took a star off as I can not read the trucks company names on my street very well. Main reason I put the camera in my wife’s car. The install was easy and I was able to buy a custom connection to the mirror in our 14 Highlander so the install is clean. I might try the anti glare filter next.

Takes decent quality, better than some 1080P ones. Nice and small, stays out of the way. App could be better.
