Garmin - dēzlCam OTR710

I have the Garmin dzl 710 with the built-in camera. And I have a lot of notes about it I'm not the best at formatting so I apologize in advance. Pros. The new Garmin diesel 710 has a USB type-c charge port like listed below though you have to be careful what you plug it into. They have a feature built in called eagle eye which will download an area onto the GPS itself to help you figure out where the driver entrances I usually do about a square mile. Only problem with it you have to have it plugged into your phones Bluetooth and it's a little slow. Garmin does a very thorough job trying to keep up with the roadmaps however you do have to update very often as well. Known issues. You have to be careful about what charge are you plug it into. Example: I plug it into my fast charger it will end up resetting itself after a while over and over again never damage the unit but it was very annoying. Honestly didn't use the camera that much about a month after I bought it the company put a samsara road facing only camera into the truck pixel count was pretty high so I left it alone.

Yes $230 for 1080p single channel only is rather expensive. I can't even find a equivalent Viofo since the current ones are 1440p minimum. Garmin have a lithium ion battery to provide up to 30 minutes of extra recording when power is out, while most others use a super-capacitor to only close video file safely when power is out. Lithium ion battery are known to not last long in high heat, but I haven't seen Garmin having battery bulging issue. Garmin have their own software with a unique feature that let you sync multiple Garmin cams. Other brands just modify Novatek base software stack, all their apps have similar look and features. Garmin also have lots of accessory options although somewhat expensive, like you can use a suction cup mount instead of sticker mount.
