Small, compact, and user friendly
I have been using this product for a while now and have had absolutely no issues so far. The camera is very small, so it easy to hide behind your rear view mirror and forget that it's even there.They provide two wires of different lengths, I opted for the longer one which I hid around the trim of my car. This was a bit fiddly to do but I imagine you have to do this for all dashcam products. Once set up though, the wire is well concealed.Being able to access your videos from a mobile phone app is great, all you do is connect to the dashcam via the app and all your journeys and saved clips are there. You can download them straight to your phone wirelessly. The app does feel a bit clunky to use at times, but it gets the job done which is all that matters.You can save clips by clicking a button on the dashcam, or using voice commands. The voice commands are very responsive and work well - I prefer to use these for hands-free clip saving. If you get in an incident and forget to save a clip - don't worry as all the footage from the journey can still be accessed from the app.The videos are good quality (video and audio) and for me the timestamps on them have been accurate whenever I have saved clips.The price is reaaonable (I paid £120 in total as I needed a microSD card) and I would say it's worth the money.Overall, I'd recommend.

Great compact dash cam
Great compact size that isn't distracting when driving.I fit this to my own car and also got one for my brother and it was easy enough to fit them both.The video is clear both during daytime and night time which is great.I'm so glad I bought this because my brother was in a car accident and we got everything we needed on the dash cam showing the other driver on the wrong side of the road.It detects potential accidents and collisions and saves them permanently so that you don't lose any footage you need. 100% would reccomend

Perfect size top not be a distraction
Love the Garmin mini range, i have moved the original Garmin mini to the rear of the car and fitted the Garmin mini 2 to the front of the car.Setup is super easy, my approach is finding where on the windscreen i'd like the dash cam, and from there i run the cable to the nearest power source and if all reaches i fix the adhesive on the windscreen and tuck the cable in where possible, so all pretty straight forwards.The app is easy to use and connects super quick to the dash cam.I have a 256gb sd card working with the Garmin mini 2 with no issues.The box also comes with a spare windscreen mount & power cable which is super handy if one fails or you looking to switch this between cars.

Great discrete dashcam
Wasn’t sure about this - but very happy with the dashcam it’s very small and discrete, responds will to audio commands and hard braking, etc recording and storing video easily.Supplied adhesive pad (and spare) are fine and do a good job. Some comments about these not being any good but once fixed if camera doesn’t need to be moved they seem very solid.WiFi connection was a bit fiddly to set up but once done works solidly every time, playback over WiFi is good resolution.

Poorly built, buggy, bad by design
I've owned this camera for two months now, and I've actually had a replacement from Garmin in that time due to the issues I'm about to describe. The same issues persist on both devices, so my advice would be to NOT purchase this device. It's badly built. You don't want to have an accident and then realise the dash cam isn't recording!Issue with slow memory card performance - I purchased the Garmin recommended memory card, a SanDisk High Endurance. The dash cam gives me constant warnings about the speed of the SD card, so I tested the speed on my computer using a speed test tool - it is performing optimally. I replaced the SD card just in case, received the same error from the dashcam. As a result, some recordings were lost. Both cameras showed this error.Issues with connectivity - frequently, both cameras would disconnect from my iPhone and I would have to set up the camera from new. This happened more than once on both cameras. Whilst it did not delete my recordings, it is an inconvenience. Also, the dash cam connects to WiFi (great) and you can view a live stream, but you can't view the videos on the camera over WiFi.Issues with not recording - my camera was always on, but sometimes it would become "frozen" and would not record, would not connect to my phone, would not do anything. It also meant it was not recording, and there were missing recordings. The only way I could fix it was by resetting it. This happened with only the one camera, but happened multiple times. I have only had the replacement camera for 2 weeks.The app - the app on iOS is really poorly written and buggy. The UI is horrible, the constant switching between Bluetooth and WiFi when trying to do anything is a real pain...Vault - it talks about Vault on the product description but you must subscribe and pay a monthly fee to use this, which is a bit of a rip off!

A little gem.💎
Some reviews just shout out, that the reviewer should have read the manual. This is a brilliant bit of kit. Setup was simple enough although some connections to my phone were suspect. Image is brilliant. Remember SD to watch on a phone but HD once it’s downloaded to a computer. Simples! 😜

Works perfectly
I looked at all the Garmin dashcams (and others) but chose this one. Why? It is very small for a start and fits perfectly behind the rearview mirror. Picture quality is very good and I have not had the issues others mention connecting to my Samsung S22. It has no screen but why would I need one? Also, looking at the other dashcams in the range, if I ever need features such as something to tell me when the car ahead has moved off I will cut my driving licence up! This dashcam is simple, effective and does the job I bought it for without any silly gimmicks.
