The Garmin Dash Cam 45 is the perfect passenger for anyone after a little extra peace of mind when driving, whether you’re planning a road trip or have a tough daily commute. A high quality 2.1 Megapixel camera offers great image clarity and 1440p HD video recording at up to 30fps. A handy 2-inch LCD display screen makes menu and settings navigation a breeze. Turning the focus on safety, the camera features different alert systems for lane departure, forward collision, speed, and red light cameras to help increase your road awareness. Compatible with the Garmin VIRB app for easy video sharing, it also has a built-in backup battery with up to 30 minutes of runtime to ensure you’re ready for anything.

1080p High Definition Video Capture

With a high quality 2.1 megapixel camera and 106° field of view lens, the Garmin Dash Cam 45 records high definition 1080p video at up to 30 fps. This offers good image clarity in bright or dimly lit environments, helping to keep your surroundings in focus.

2-Inch LCD Display Screen

The back of the cam has a 2-inch LCD display screen that lets you navigate the menu and change settings easily. After a minute of switching on, the screen automatically dims so it doesn’t cause a distraction while driving. It can also be used for playback so you can review videos immediately.

Continuous Loop Recording and Auto Saving

The Dashcam 45 supports separately available micro SD cards up to 64GB in size. When an incident is detected, it saves the footage automatically. Using available memory card space, the Dash Cam records in a continuous loop, overwriting old unsaved footage with newly captured video. This convenient set-and-forget system ensures the camera is always recording when it counts.

Time and Location Stamping

All saved footage is stamped with time and location, thanks to Garmin’s built in GPS. When viewing your video collection on a computer, you’ll have access to more information like speed, direction of travel, even longitude and latitude.

Wi-Fi Connectivity for Easy Viewing and Sharing

One of the Dashcam’s most convenient features is compatibility with the free Garmin VIRB mobile app available for iOS and Android. Use the app to wirelessly connect the dash cam to your Smartphone and use it as a viewing screen, or sync videos for easy sharing and storage.

Built-In Microphone

Record in-car audio with the built-in microphone, great for narrating your most epic road trip moments. This feature is also handy for vehicle surveillance, great for extra security for anyone using or providing ride share services.

Incident Detection Keeps an Eye on the Road Always

With incident detection, you’ll always have one eye on the road. Using Garmin’s G-Sensor technology to detect heavy braking or impacts, the camera automatically starts recording with a buffer just before the incident occurs to capture the event in its entirety. The saved video provides you with an accurate eye-witness account of where and when an incident has happened.

Stay Alert with a Range of Safety Warnings

Adding further to your peace of mind, the Garmin Cam also features a great range of safety alerts. It has forward collision and lane departure warnings, as well as a “Go” alert that notifies you when the traffic ahead has moved. Additionally, it even warns you about speed and red light cameras that have been reported near your location so you can be more aware of the roads around you.

Plug-In Power with Integrated Backup Battery

The Dash Cam 45 comes with a vehicle power adapter and recording starts as soon as it’s plugged in, or when the car is turned on. A built-in backup battery with up to 30 minutes of run time lets you take the camera outside the car to capture photos of any incidents, damage, or just the landscape.

Travelapse Photo Mode

Travel-lapse mode is purely for fun, designed for creating easy-to-share videos that feature the best parts of your drive. The camera captures a still image every 30 seconds, condensing hours of driving into a few minutes, perfect for documenting exciting moments and road trips.

Parking Surveillance Supported

Parking surveillance mode is supported and lets you use your Garmin to monitor your vehicle even when you’re not driving. This mode does require a separately available Garmin Parking Mode cable to work, but it adds an extra level of security when leaving your car in unfamiliar places.

Easy Do-It-Yourself Installation

A magnetic windscreen mount makes the Garmin Dashcam 45 super-easy to install and remove if you want to take it outside the car. Combined with the camera’s ‘plug and play’ operation, it’s an ideal companion for anyone on the road often. Whether you’re looking to record your commute for safety or for fun, this little passenger will quickly become your favourite one.
