ULTRACOMPACT SIZE

AUTOMATIC INCIDENT DETECTION
Plug it in and forget it—this cam continually records, automatically saving incident video complete with date and time stamps when triggered.
GARMIN CLARITY POLARIZER
Enhance visibility and reduce windshield glare with the built‑in Clarity polarizer lens for sharper footage.
VIEW AND SHARE VIDEOS
Easily access and share important clips via the Garmin Drive app (Vault subscription required) using Wi‑Fi® connectivity and secure Vault storage.
VOICE CONTROL
Stay hands‑free—use voice commands to save video or toggle audio, available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Swedish.
THE POLARIZER ADVANTAGE
Captured side‑by‑side at the same resolution and moment in time, only the dash cam equipped with Garmin’s Clarity™ polarizer delivers visibly sharper imagery. Glare reduction makes details pop—though actual resolution and clarity may vary.
PARKING GUARD

This feature requires an active Vault subscription, a stable Wi-Fi connection, and continuous power. To ensure uninterrupted operation, some vehicles may necessitate the use of the Constant Power Cable (sold separately).
LIVE VIEW
Monitor your parked vehicle in real time through your dash cam, even when you're away. To use this feature, you'll need a Vault subscription, an active Wi-Fi connection, and constant power—some vehicles may also require the separately sold Constant Power Cable.
Dash Cam Video Sync
Enhance your awareness with multiple camera angles. Using the Garmin Drive app, you can view synchronized video clips from up to four dash cams (each sold separately).
