This is a great item to have. I think everyone should have one. My husband was driving home and witnessed an accident. He was able to bring up the video to see exactly what happened.

Can't see cars license plates

The camera is very small and it fits perfectly behind the mirror. However, it did not sync properly with an app so can't really view videos on the phone. If I want to view any video I need to do it from the computer. The quality of the video is pretty good, however when driving you cannot see front cars license plates. So not sure what's the point of having this camera. You can see the plate numbers when cars are not moving like when you stopped on a red light. So in a case of an accidents when cars are either speeding or cutting you off, you most likely won't see their numbers.

Hello! The Dash Cam Mini 2 does have the ability to view both "Live View" and gallery videos when properly paired with the Drive App on your smartphone. I completely understand your concern with license plates. In some cases you may not be able to make plate numbers out. However, the dash cam is certainly going to help support your account of an encounter and point to fault regardless of license plate visibility. Should you like assistance with resolving your disruption please start by visiting our 24/7 support center page here support.garmin.com.

Camera is a great size, easily hidden under my rear view mirror. Video quality is decent, only being 1080p and all. Can't make out license plates on the footage but I still think that this is a 5 star product. Trusted brand name in Garmin and some not some junk product.

Works great. It's small and not in the way while you are driving. Connects to phone a little slow but still works good. I like being able to select the video and save it to my phone.

I purchased two of these cameras to install in my new car because they're small, easy to install and easy to use. I installed one on the windshield behind the rear view mirror. It's barely visible. I installed one in the back window to capture cars behind me. So far, so good.

Very small and seems to work perfectly. Have not had a chance to capture an incident, the video looks nice. Just using in case something ever happens, but I don't see the need for a screen, voice works perfect.

I have a mostly manageable addiction to dash cams and believe that Garmin has figured out the recipe for best quality combined with reasonable price. The form factor is the least invasive on my windshield and I have had nearly ZERO issues with the app on iOS.

A good setup and forget system that comes on with the car and does not need anything done to make it run. Soon after purchase had to do a hard stop and after hearing a tone from the device checked and it had locked the footage just like it is designed to do with a accident. Well worth it

love this camera. it's practically invisible if you place it right behind your rearview mirror and then run the cable beneath the headliner, down the pillar, and into the power source. i bought the OBD power suppler so that it records even while parked. quality is great. love that you can easily pull the mini SD card out, load it into your computer, and see all of the videos.
i will say, however, that garmin should have used the magnetic mount instead of this permanent adhesive mount. small fix for next gen, hopefully.

Had it a bit over a year now and it’s working well and records great HD video. Only issue is the app is a bit finicky at times.
