Great camera for the price point.

This is my first dash cam but I had been watching YouTube reviews for about a year. I didn't want to damage my car or cut into any wires so that made me hesitant. However, other drivers are so terrible these days I instantly made up my mind when I watched a lady wait in this drive way for me to get close enough for her to pull out at the last second almost causing me to T-bone her. She didn't wave sorry or even acknowledge she was in the wrong. She could clearly see me coming down the road plus I was the only vehicle driving in that direction so she could have just simply waited for me to pass and she could have took as long as she wanted. The camera installed in 10 minutes in my Jeep and it was a simple plug and play. Great camera to start out with especially for the price. Make sure you get a micro SD card if you don't have one already and you're all set. I may buy another one in the near future for my other vehicle. I like the mounting options as well as you can order a suction cup mount or use the self adhesive for a permanent install.

Once installed and setup, easy to use and to view videos on my laptop. Had to purchase a high endurance microSD card. Also purchased a Garmin suction swivel mount to replace the adhesive mount. Mounted at upper corner of wind shield on passenger side and hid cable in A pillar moulding and routed under dash to 12 volt outlet. Problem formating the SD card but received immediate help by phone from Garmin. Excellent instruction manual online.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, high end at extremely competitive price. Had been following it for a few weeks and to my surprise it came down to the price I purchased it at.

Installation Is Difficult

Installation Is Hard On My Model Of Vehicle Because You Have To Run A Power Cord Under The Trim Panels To Get To The Cigarette Lighter/ Power Supply To Use The Dashcam. Video Is Good Enough To Use In Court Nothing Like A Movie Camera Though. Also It's Absolutely Tiny You Would Never Know It's Even There When You Place It Behind Your Rearview Mirror. Would Recommend You Buy This If You Don't Want A Clunky Large Dashcam!

Just right for me

My 8 year old dashcam battery just gave out rendering the unit pretty much unusable and even dangerous. It was a 1080 model and low tech by today's standards. So I bought a higher end unit that was 4K and lots of new tech. The problem is it would overheat. Then threw SD card errors. I live in Florida. So I had to return it. Second time around I decided to try something more bulletproof and AI recommended this unit. I wanted heat resistant, tiny and good pic quality but not necessarily above 1080. I didn't need a screen either and actually prefer the screen off even when a unit has a screen. So I bought this unit and installed it in 10 minutes and so far it's great. Hidden behind the mirror and very subtle. This is the dashcam for people who feel they need one but basically don't want to fidget with a lot of settings and don't want something distracting them from the road by being large and lit up. This is the stealth option and perfect for me because I don't need super high video quality or gps etc. I do need durability and ease of use.

Reliable small dash cam for long drives

I bought this for long drives from Texas to Chicago, and it's been a solid choice so far. It's really small and doesn't block my view, which I like. The video quality is clear enough to capture details, and it starts recording automatically, so I don't have to think about it. It feels like a good, affordable option if you want extra safety on road trips without anything bulky.

Really good video quality! The only problem I'm having with it is it not sticking correctly. It will stay up for a couple hours and I'll find it on the floor of my car. I did have to buy another part to keep the camera running even when my car is not turned on, but that's not really a problem.

The Mini 3 works well and does a great job at being invisoble behind the tinted strip at the top of my windshield. heads up, my phone can't connect to it if it's connected to the car via Bluetooth so I have to "forget" my car or pull the SD card out to access the files.

I couldn't connect to it with my phone to live stream and there was no screen. So I couldn't tell what is it was recording if it was bumped. I even tried lowering the resolution. I will be trying to return it if I can get to Walmart before 8pm. Return hours should be same as the store! Who else does that?

Garmin Dash Cam™ Mini 3, Ultracompact 1080p

It did not come with a sim card (I didn't find out until I opened the package and read the extremely small print on the alleged instructions document). I have no way to test the product to see if it tries to work. There is a document showing a round disk that apparently shoud be put on the window to hold the Dash Cam so I could dismount the dash cam and take pictures of any damage done to my car. I need to speak someone in the store to help me figure out how to get the missing parts
