Product Description

Style: With GPS

Reliable, Easy-to-use HD Driving Recorder with GPS

  • HD GPS standalone driving recorder with 2.3-inch LCD display
  • Snapshot feature allows you to take still images, even remove from vehicle to capture collision damage
  • Integrated microphone records the sounds inside your vehicle
  • Incident Detection sensor automatically saves footage of collisions and incidents

Record in High Definition

Garmin Dash Cam is an easy-to-use high-definition driving recorder with 2.3-inch LCD display. It records both audio and video, with GPS for detailed time and location data pinpointing exactly where and when events occurred. Mount the camera to your windshield and record your drive in 1080p, 720p or WVGA. Dash Cam records in a continuous loop, using the included 4 GB microSD™ card. To add more memory, add a larger microSD card (accepts up to 32 GB, sold separately. Class 10 required). Play back the footage on the LCD display or review later on your computer.

The camera has a wide-angle lens that captures the entire road. Its integrated microphone gives you the option of recording audio inside the vehicle.

Your Eyewitness That Never Blinks

No need to worry about starting and stopping. If Dash Cam is plugged into a powered source, it is recording.

All footage is stamped with time and location so you know exactly when and where events occurred. When reviewing footage on your computer, you’ll have a record of latitude, longitude, date, time, speed and direction of travel.

The camera features automatic incident detection (G-Sensor) with customizable sensitivity settings. When an incident – like hard braking or a collision – is detected, your camera knows to save the current, last and next recordings; thereby, preserving a complete record of the event.

For a close-up view of vehicle or property damage, you can remove Dash Cam from your vehicle and take snapshots.

EVERY CAR SHOULD HAVE ONE LIKE THIS
By yavas on September 21, 2014
Style Name: With GPS Verified Purchase
(Model with the GPS)
This is awesome. Every driver should have this. Well, I mean ... "every good driver." If you are a good (safe, responsible, careful) driver, you will need the video as evidence against those bad (unsafe, irresponsible, reckless) drivers. However, if you are one of those bad drivers, then don't bother - or even better, avoid this dash cam, because the video might even be used as evidence to incriminate you.

This review consists of TWO PARTS.

In PART 1, I will review several features of this dash cam, and list several tips for using it.

In PART 2, I will describe FOUR good reasons why you should have this in your car: 1) An accident the day before I purchased this dash cam; 2) and 3) two incidents where I was almost hit; and 4) an incident where I luckily avoided an accident (2, 3 & 4 shown in videos).

PART 2 (except the videos) may not sound like a direct review of this dash cam but rather my personal experience with the accident that made me buy this dash cam and with the events that followed. But it will give you an idea about why you need such a high-quality and reliable dash cam with advanced features.

Yes, it is expensive (the price is dropping; I paid $250), but you get what you pay for: Wide-angle, Video/Picture Quality, Time/Speed/Location Stamp (with GPS), G-Sensor, reliability, etc.

PROS: See above.
CONS: The mount falls off occasionally. See "THE MOUNT" section in PART 1.

I WISH: I wish the screen had the option showing speed and direction (compass). It already has the GPS, so this would have been easy to integrate. I hope the next generation will have this option (even if more expensive). Currently, the screen dims after one minute by default, or you can set it to always stay on.Read more ›

Correcting Misinformation . . .
By S. Maloney on April 14, 2014
Style Name: With GPS
(UPDATED) According to other reviewers Garmin is now providing software to access the recorded video, which can be accessed by plugging the unit into your computer. You may also download it from http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-01311-01 . (Thanks D. Kerman).

1. There is no provided software. (Which isn't a problem.)
Quite simply, Gamin includes no software to access recorded files. Instead the Dash Cam 20 interfaces with your computer much the same way as a digital camera would. Garmin includes a short usb data cable, which you can plug directly into your computer, or you can remove the included microSD card and insert it into the provided microSD to SD card adapter, or use your own SD card reader. Note: The Dash Cam 20 does not include an SD card reader. That said, many Macbook Pros and pc laptops have a built in card reader. No matter how you access the card's data, it will appear the same as any flash drive. Access the drive, and navigate through the "Garmin" and "Video" folders to find your recorded videos. Note: Simply accessing your recorded videos through a card reader will not affect the formatting of the card, and Garmin does not use proprietary formatting.

2. The Dash Cam 20 will work with a Mac.

Now, if you're using a mac and you try to open a file, you'll be presented with the following error message:
"The document "VDO_0001.avi" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available."

That's not so much Garmin's fault as it is Microsoft's and Apple's. AVI files were developed by Microsoft . . .

Now, should Garmin have picked a different file type? Probably. Can you still open it? Absolutely. You're going to need to download a free piece of software called VLC.Read more ›

Truck drivers do NOT buy this dashcam
By Arnold on April 8, 2014
Style Name: With GPS Verified Purchase
Love garmin.I'm only gonna comment on the suction cup.Any vehicle with any vibration will resault in a corresponding vibrating video quality.Besides,it's only a matter of time when it falls off the windshield due to heat or cold.Video quality is about average. I am a loyal Garmin customer,I will wait for them to come out with different way of securing their dashcams to a windshiled.
Finevu has the best video and built quality. Lucas is good because you can use 64 card,but video at night time is a little funny color wise and fish-eyed. I own all three of them and all three of them I bought from Amazon.

UPDATE 5/7/14 I took the unit on the long trip. It would freeze about 10 to 15 times a day.Will be returning it tomorrow.
There is one more good thing about the garmin dash cam I forgot to mention.The start up time is MUCH better than the other dashcams.Which is super important in my opinion (the sooner you start recording in critical situation the better.)

Garmin Dash Cam 20
By Chingas Lee on April 4, 2014
Style Name: With GPS Verified Purchase
So far it seems very good. Lot's of cool features. I like the GPS location stamp on the video for figuring out my exact location when taking pictures on vacations. (First check the location was off by 3/4 mile north)
Snapshot (photo) function attempts to put the GPS GEO location in the photo EXIF information but the data is all zeros. It would be real nice if that worked. The owners manual leaves out one function that is on the setup menu, Delay power off.
Manual also does not show what the icons at the top of the screen are for.
It says to char battery before use but doesn't say how long.
Only option is to mount to windshield. Not a big deal but I will have to take it down all the time as it will probably melt in the AZ sun.
A quick disconnect would be nice.
Spec says 130 degrees F temperature max. I have measured my car interior at 140 degrees not in direct sunlight when parked.

Seems to use a lot of compression on snapshot photo that creates some artifacts.
