About Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2, 1080p, 140-degree FOV
Overall Feedback:
69% positive
65% appreciated the gps, but 35% didn't
I am frustrated with the GPS of my on-dash-camera and want to buy a new dashcam with real parking mode and motion detection. However, I have to redo the installation because the hardwire kit is not compatible with other brands.
I wish there was a live view for setting up and aiming the camera, but unfortunately, it does not work. This shows my negative sentiment towards the GPS feature of the on-dash-camera.
75% liked the image quality, but 25% didn't
The dash cam has great quality, but plate numbers are hard to see unless you are close to the car.
The dash cam shoots high-quality footage that can prove innocence in an accident and capture license plates.
I had to mount the dashcam too close to the rear-view mirror, which is not convenient and makes it difficult to use.
Even though the red light was on, the dashcam did not record for several days of driving.
66% were satisfied with the motion detection, but 34% weren't
I did not find any specific information about motion detection in on-dash cameras in the review.
I am dissatisfied with the camera's parking mode. It only records when there is an impact and not when in parking or when motion is detected, making it useless and non-functional.
I was able to prove the accident to the cop only because of my dash cam, which has a motion detection feature.
I couldn't connect the camera to the app, it didn't record and just locked up.
71% appreciated the night vision, while 29% found it lacking
I noticed that the camera did not record when the user narrowly missed getting hit and when he was directly behind watching an accident happen. This indicates that the camera's night vision feature is not working properly.
The camera's night vision feature is not working properly as it did not record when I narrowly missed getting hit and when I was directly behind watching an accident happen.
67% found the wireless connectivity helpful but 33% disagree
Setting up was easy and I faced no issues with phone connectivity. The Garmin application easily connected and configured the camera.
I don't like the fact that I have to be next to the camera to retrieve any footage, unless I pay for storage.
