My vote is the Garmin line of dashcams. They are bit more expensive than your typical dashcams found on Amazon, but I like the Garmins because they are small and inobtrusive. They also use a magnetic mount where a small metal disk is permanently attached to your windshield, so you don't need to worry about a rubber suction cup drying out and losing it's ability to stick to the windshield over time. It comes with two of the metal disks in the package and replacement aftermarket disks are readily available on Amazon. The one downside is that they do not offer a dual camera model that provides both front and rear coverage. You can connect to the camera via the Garmin app and can view a live feed or download the dash cam videos. You can also subscribe to a plan that gives you cloud storage of your dashcam videos. Garmin also offers a "permanent" power solution that uses a cord plugged into your OBDII port that provides power even when your car is off. The cord allows you to set the time to always on (cord stays powered), turn off after 10 minutes, or turn off after 24 hours. We have one Model 47 and two Model 67's. These are discontinued and were really small, although they can still be ordered through Amazon even though they are no longer manufactured. They are about 2-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch. The dashcams included lane departure warnings, collision warnings (if you get too close to the car in front of you), as well as traffic light alerts and speed camera alerts.
r/Crosstrek • Dashcam Recommendations? ->Piece of trash. I bought a Campark Dash Cam from Amazon, and I had it for almost a decade, but it started acting up. Corrupted files even with a new SD card, randomly shutting off, etc. I bought a Garmin Dash Cam 47 as a replacement. Best decision of my life! I can download the videos right to my phone, change settings, etc. It has park monitoring, crash detection, beautiful video quality, lane departure, GPS tracking speed, location in coordinates, and date and time always accurate. Go to Best Buy and get the Dash Cam 47 if you want to buy one from a brick and mortar store. The Walmart camera will get you nowhere. My very first Dash Cam was from Walmart, I threw it out almost immediately. It wasn't even worth my time to return it. The cheap front and cabin facing cameras have horrible video quality. Don't buy it.
r/dashcams • Anyone have any thoughts on Walmart’s drive onn dual dash cam? ->Bought a Garmin 47 last year. It’s already obsolete but it does the job. I spent extra to have the support of an actual company I can reach out to if needed.
r/chevycolorado • What type of dash cameras do you have? ->There is already a thread for it r/dashcam and a couple post on here for dash cams. Personally I have the garmin 47
r/Crosstrek • Dash Cam Recommendations ->Garmin Dashcam 47. $260.00CDN on Amazon. Had mine for a couple years, it's tiny, very good quality (build and video) and has all the bells and whistles. Don't buy anything from Toyota unless u have to.
r/ToyotaHighlander • Dashcam ->I have the Garmin Dash Cam47. No, the Accessory Connector is actually a Nissan Part. [https://parts.nissanusa.com/parts/nissan-accessory-service-connector-t99f64ra0a?c=Zz1vdGhlciZzPW90aGVyJmw9MSZuPUNhdGVnb3J5IFBhZ2UmYT1uaXNzYW4mbz1mcm9udGllciZ5PTIwMjMmdD1wcm8tNHgmZT0zLThsLXY2LWdhcw%3D%3D](https://parts.nissanusa.com/parts/nissan-accessory-service-connector-t99f64ra0a?c=Zz1vdGhlciZzPW90aGVyJmw9MSZuPUNhdGVnb3J5IFBhZ2UmYT1uaXNzYW4mbz1mcm9udGllciZ5PTIwMjMmdD1wcm8tNHgmZT0zLThsLXY2LWdhcw%3D%3D) You can put one on each side behind the kickplate, you don't have to install two
r/nissanfrontier • Dash cam setups 23 Pro-4X ->Garmin 47 with adapter. Not much more of a price difference and you get a couple more features that are nice
r/ToyotaTacoma • Dash-cam for 2020 Tacoma ->I have the Garmin Dash Cam 47. The device seems ok, however the software and user interface is hot garbage.
r/dashcams • DO NOT EVER BUY: Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 ->Garmin 47 with the obd constant power adapter. Far from the best but it's a solid unit and hasn't failed me yet. The parking guard mode has come in handy a few times. Front facing only.
r/wrx_vb • Which DashCam you guys using? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
