![]() It can be used to adjust settings too, along with the display and buttons on the camera itself can also be used to do this. The app is used to set up the camera, update its firmware and position it correctly by showing a live video feed. (Image credit: Garmin) Garmin Dash Cam 47 review: SoftwareĪll members of the Garmin Dash Cam range work with the Garmin Drive app, which is free for iPhone and Android. The compact Mini 2 has the same 1080p and 140-degree specifications as the 47 reviewed here, but lacks a display. Other models in the Garmin Dash Cam range are very similar to the 47, so it’s worth explaining how the slightly more expensive 57 shoots at the higher 1440p resolution, while the 67W sticks at that resolution but widens the lens from 140 to 180 degrees. Full HD is really the minimum resolution you should expect from a dash cam, and more expensive models shoot in 1440p or even 4K, but with the latter’s enhanced quality resulting in huge video files that can be time-consuming to transfer.Īs with all recent Garmin dash cams, the 47 produces good-quality video that makes it easy to pick out key details like vehicle registration plates and street signs. The Garmin Dash am 47 records video at 1080p Full HD resolution with HDR through a 140-degree lens. Once set up, it starts recording when connected to power and saves a portion of footage when a collision is detected. It also beeps if you haven’t noticed that the vehicle ahead has set off, and there are alerts for nearby speed cameras and red light cameras.Īs for the Garmin 47’s core features, it works just like any other dash cam. But for those who do, the camera will sound an alarm when it thinks you’re too close to the vehicle ahead, or if you drift out of your lane. Some drivers likely won’t want these, as they can become annoying. Next up we have driver assistance and alert features. ![]() ![]() ![]() Connect the camera to Wi-Fi (your home network, for example) and you can remotely view a live video feed from the camera, also via the Garmin app. Do this, and you can activate parking mode, which alerts you via the app when an incident is detected while parked. Other features require constant power to the dash cam, which is made possible with the £45 Garmin Constant Power Cable, which plugs the camera into your car’s OBD-II port, making it active even when the car is parked and turned off. ![]()
