My Garmin DC56 has been kicking for 3+ years. Replaced the memory card twice.
I live in the city, and I am running a old Garmin Dash Cam 56 - 1440p only - I am keeping it from my prior vehicle because I love the redlight and speed camera warnings on it, once this fails, I will probably go with Garmin 4k camera in the future \~300$. But seriously no company makes cameras like Garmin does.
Have the Garmin 56 for 5 years and haven't had a problem. Had a high end samsung sd card and no problem
I’m on my third or fourth generation of Garmin cams, love them. Recently got two Mini 3’s for 99$ each on Amazon with free shipping to kuwait
I know 2 guys with them that have been really happy. They are still selling units. There are a lot of action cameras but I went down the rabbit hole and two issues hit most, battery life (I wanted at min 4 hours) and dashcam mode that was useful. I ended up getting the Garmin front (recently) and rear (over 2 years ago) and have been really happy. For me integration to make it easy and on every ride is key. I move them between bikes in 30 seconds too this way.
