Title: Outstanding dash cam
Review: I currently own a Garmin 57 dash cam and have been very happy with it and it goes between my personal and work vehicles. When Garmin released a 4K camera, I jumped at it. Now I have the 57 installed permanently in the work vehicle and the X310 in my personal vehicle. Garmin has the best phone app out there and it works flawlessly between the cameras. The X310 works just like the 57-menu system and supposedly it has even sharper video, although the video looks pretty much the same as the 57. I attribute this to the fact that I don’t have a 4k monitor to view it on, just a regular 1080p monitor, so I’m not seeing any sharpness upgrade on my monitor. Aside from this the video is still great, colors, sharpness and all. I do like the added touchscreen making it much easier to navigate the menu, not that the button system of the 57 was hard. The x310 is a smaller footprint in thickness than the 57, the width and height, close to the same. I will admit it is a bit spendy, but it’s totally worth it for the quality, the Garmin name behind it, and phone app. It’s super small and fits right behind my rearview mirror so it’s never a distraction. The voice commands are great, and they always work flawlessly. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase.Nov 17, 2024 update. I recently caught an accident of a guy racing up beside me and then smashing head first into a car that was in the center turn lane. I wished I had a rear camera to see when the guy pulled out and raced up the center lane. So, I bought the Garmin Mini 3 to put in my back window. Was super simple, plugged adapter into to back 12v cigarette lighter port right by the back hatch, ran wire just up the side door seal and spiraled the wire(you wrap it around a dowel, heat the wire with a heat gun/hairdryer, let cool, take off and turn the wire wrap the opposite direction…you now a coiled wire) to allow the hatch to open an close without having wire hanging. Stuck to corner of back window, and connected to the Garmin app. Now they both work in unison and connect flawlessly every time via Wi-Fi. A caveat, if you ever need to download a video, you can do it with the Wi-Fi, it can be done, but it’s a bit slow and cumbersome, ideally, taking out the card and putting in a computer is much better. If you have a mini usb phone, like the iPhone 14 or newer you can plug your phone right into the usb on the new Garmins and it’s super-fast, just like a computer. Now I have front and back videos. I’m very happy with the 4K video out the front and the 1080p out the back. Both videos are clear and sharp, very happy with the Garmin Mini 3.

Title: Great LTE Dash Cam just no Rear View
Review: I purchased this from Amazon a few days ago as well as the Constant Power Cable.So far, I’m loving it.I subscribed and connected it to LTE service through Garmin for $10 a month for 7 days of saved video. It’s then connected to the OBDII port using the Constant Power Cable. Over three nights of testing, I’ve been able to remotely connect to the dash cam to view the live feed perfectly. At work, it successfully sent me a notification of an event and uploaded the event video to the cloud a minute later.This leads to the one downside. This dash cam does not have a rear camera which is really lame. Nothing occurred in the front view video so I assume that, being in a parking garage, the vibrations of a passing car set it off. If so, it’s annoying that I didn’t have a rear camera to see the event but I am happy with the fact that the camera is sensitive enough to pick that up.However, you can purchase one of their Mini cams for about $130 and route it into the Constant Power Cable as it has two USB ports on it. You will not get live parking mode alerts with that camera unless your vehicle is within range of your WiFi network. If you live in an apartment and park 50-80 yards from your building like me and want live parking mode alerts with your rear camera, you’ll need a 2nd Dash Cam Live and a 2nd $10 a month subscription. I’ll be doing one or the other but most likely just purchasing a 2nd Live cam to get the full power of the system. With competitors LTE cameras you’re paying $600+ so you’re really only paying maybe $100-200 more or even less considering how you power the device.I was set on getting a BlackVue LTE camera but the reviews of the app have been really bad – like unusable in some cases so I opted for the rock solid interface of the Garmin. The BlackVue ones start at $470, with a $11 a month LTE subscription but if you want the parking mode, you need to hardwire it to the battery (which I’d never want to do) or get one of their battery packs which are $160-$390.The power of this camera is that you have LTE service with parking mode alerts and video upload. If somebody were to try stealing your wheels in the middle of the night, you get an alert. If somebody breaks your window and steals stuff in your car, you’ll get an alert as well as a video uploaded to the cloud in the case that they remove your SD card or steal the camera altogether. If somebody steals your car, and doesn’t remove the camera, you have GPS tracking. If you need to check anything, you can turn on the Live View etc.Setup and installation was a breeze – took an hour including routing the cable through the rubber gaskets around the door and floor.There isn’t much more to say right now other than a few things I learned through my chat with support and reading manuals:1 – The Garmin knows to enter parking mode through the OBDII port diagnostics.2 – When using parking mode, KEEP THE APP OPEN but in the background! Otherwise it doesn’t send notifications.3 – When in parking mode, it isn’t constantly recording and draining power. If an event occurs (a vibrational incident), then the camera starts filming and records/uploads the event.4 – The Constant Power Cable can be switched between operating for 10m, 24 hours or infinitely. I do really wish it had a 12 hour setting here to cover the night time/sleeping only. It’s silly that there isn’t a 12 hour option or one between 10m and 24 hours.5 – The Constant Power Cable has battery voltage protection so it won’t drain your battery to nothing. It will shut off after 10 minutes if it detects the battery is under 12v.

Review: I bought this dash cam to monitor my car while I am away from it since my car got hit while I was home. The camera doesn’t access live view or WiFi connection because I have to park my car down the street away my house. So it is basically useless.
