The Garmin Dash Cam Mini captures high-quality 1080p HD footage in a dash camera about as small as a car key. Once plugged into your vehicle?s power source, the camera continually records and automatically saves video of incidents. The 140° wide-angle lens captures what?s ahead of your vehicle, and built-in WiFi connectivity enables the camera to upload saved footage to your compatible smartphone running the Garmin Drive app. If you use more than 1 Garmin dash cam to capture video in front of or behind your vehicle, the Garmin Drive app can automatically combine and organize media from multiple dash cams for easy viewing and sharing with Dash Cam Auto Sync. The included dual USB power adapter maintains the ability to charge phones or other accessories while powering your dash cam. Also included are 2 power cable options to allow for upward or downward cable routing.

Easy install. Reasonable price for a Top Quality brand dash cam with high-quality 1080p HD footage. I installed a 256GB micro SD card but it supports up to 512GB! Many hours of usage with excellent results. The Garmin software for your smartphone makes this even better.

Excellent

I installed Garmin Dash Cam Mini as a back camera on my new Honda Passport & very next day was an accident caused by a drunk driver who tailgate me & then was trying to pass my car on a right & sideways hit my car & is good that I had a front camera also Garmin Dash Cam 45, after reviewing everything I like Mini camera even more then Cam 45, simple & excellent recording also insurance of other driver process my claim much faster after I presented videos. Now Installing Mini on my Acura also as a rear camera

Small and mighty camera, hidden behind the rear view mirror and out of sight. Picture quality is good and in constant recording mode when vehicle is moving. The only drawback is the cellphone app, it is sluggish and sometimes would fail to connect. I guess the only viable option is either to connect the camera with a computer directly or simply pull out of SD card to read on a computer on recorded clips.

This is a compact dash cam model so it doesn’t interfere with driver view. The adhesive mount is very sticky—it won’t easily come off. Camera view is a good wide angle. Was difficult to set up since instructions are very thin. Had to chat with Garmin tech to resolve issues, however after 30 minutes got it working. It’s been fine for 30+ days now. Operates with a smartphone interface.

I delayed buying a dashcam until I could get one that was small enough to be inconspicuous in the car. This one “hides” between the rear view mirror and windshield and does not disrupt the view of the driver.The negative for this unit is powering the unit. One has to string the cable to a “cigarette” lighter power adapter. Otherwise, connecting to a USB port on the car puts it in computer-connected mode and the unit does not operate. It puts it in photo/video retrieval mode. There needs to be a switch or power cable that does not activate the computer attached mode.However, even with this shortcoming, I have bought two of these – one for each car. They are portable but I use one in the rear of my newer SUV to record behind me.

I have had the camera a few days at this point. I like most everything about it. The only two issues I have are, 1 the camera does not have a shutoff switch it runs constantly if it has power. 2 it gets hot. I guess due to it not cutting off. Otherwise the picture quality is good and has a wide view angle.
Rachel
Being held back from trying it in the car. Instructions state temps have to be above 70 for the adhesive to work. Won’t see that for a few more months. Otherwise, it connects to the phone and displays video just fine, so have every reason to believe it will work as advertised.
Bruce
I like it with a couple of issues. There have been two occasions when it has missed a drive. Not sure why, but when it is working correctly, it is very good.
Nicole
This dash cam works very nicely. And it stays stuck to my windshield which is a big plus over the previous cameras I’ve tried.
Sarah
I t works as advertised but I think I will buy a smaller sd card next time, 64 g is way to much storage for me.
Randy
I have only had this a short time, but I like it. It is small, has a good field of view, good quality video and is easy to attach and setup.
Tammy
Have been using for several weeks now without any issues. I purchased because I trust the name and can count on great support, should I need it.
Randy
Love how it’s so small, doesn’t block my view at all. If you want to view footage, use the phone app. Works great!
Donna
I like it, it’s small, hides behind the mirror and is easy to use.
Mildred
Both my devices were reasonably priced and reliable. I use them everyday.
Barbara
Like that it is so small and easy to set up. Just had to print out what the lights meant,,,lol
Jordan
This is a great little camera. Very small, great video and easy to use. It easily connects to your cell phone to pull video clips or pictures.
