Garmin Mini 2 Dash Cam

How do I like it? Enough to have 3 of them for all my cars. Clear video whether day or night.

Great compact unit

Garmin

Because of how small the item is. It first perfectly in my car and I forget it's there.

Overall, very happy with my second device, as my originally ordered device did not work.

Video quality excellent

so small and easy to install and use with the Garmin app

Works great, app is nice, another great Garmin product

Great picture, very small and easy to conceal

Gps is great don't waste time with the Mini Cam! it doesn't connect to get updates.

will not connect to the Garman GPS, it is useless.

Horrible shipping. Shipped the cheapest way possible. Came with damaged dinged up box of item. Be careful when buying from Walmart. You are really ‘Not’ buying from Walmart!

Horrible shipping and handling.

I've been using 2 of these in my car for nearly 5 years. The video on one failed so I replaced them both with the Mini 2. There are a few improvements that (otherwise) I don't think would be worth upgrading for. Voice activation: meh. I can push the button. Video quality is not any better. But certainly if buying a car video system new they are absolutely worth it. 

Good
- Small, effective, inexpensive
- Video is fine
- Simple but good enough for most applications. Other cameras are overkill. 
- Lasted 5 years before one started to fail.

Disappointments: 
- Software and connectivity: the first Mini was extremely flakey. I have to jump through hoops every time I want to connect to adjust the cameras. I was hoping the Mini 2 would improve but it is no better. I actually sort of dread having to connect and therefore don't. (I do tech for a living.) 
- Downloading to phone is pointless (takes forever). Just remove the SD card. 
- The SD cards are spring loaded, like most devices, but this is a stupid design and it often slips off of your fingernail and goes flying. 
- The sticky mount is a dumb design and you can't (easily) change the location. (They give you two, but still.)  If you get a new car you have to buy new mounts. But there are plenty of good suction cup alternatives online.
- The biggest "gotcha" is the wireless vault. On the web page they do say "storage plans", but this is a bait and switch, pure and simple. Very expensive unless you are using the videos all the time. Should just save to your phone automatically each time you push the button to save: Duh.
