If you drive a particular large vehicle then the 140-degree angle might be a little restrictive, but for just under £100 we think the Dash Cam Mini still represents good value of money.Īs for features, video is constantly recorded then permanently saved when a collision is detected or when you press the save button. These stats are all lower than the 66W, but still mean Full HD video at a respectable field-of-view and frame rate.

The camera has a 1080p resolution, meaning 1920 x 1080 pixels, shoots footage at 30 frames per second, and a 140-degree field-of-view. Now to the Garmin Dash Cam Mini, and naturally there are fewer features given the lower price and no screen. It is likely overkill for a car, but a useful feature for larger vehicles like trucks, vans and motorhomes.
Lastly for the 66W, it features Garmin’s syncing feature where up to four models of Dash Cam can be fitted to a vehicle and record video in sync with each other. Some owners may find these features useful, but we prefer to keep our eyes on the road and not be distracted by a small display that is likely positioned at the top of the windscreen and potentially not directly in view.

The camera has a suite of driver assistance features, including forward collision warnings, lane departure warnings, speed and red light camera alerts and go alerts, where the camera beeps to let you know the vehicle ahead has moved forward. There’s also voice control, so you can say ‘OK Garmin’ then ask the camera to save a recording, or switch audio recording on and off. The camera constantly records video, overwriting the oldest footage once the memory card gets full, but footage recorded when an incident is detected (or when you press the save button) is permanently stored. The camera shoots at a smooth 60 frames per second and includes Garmin’s Clarity HDR system for better video quality in varied lighting conditions.Īs for features, the 66W has everything you would expect from a dash cam, including GPS and incident detection that automatically saves video to a microSD card (sold separately). The camera of the Dash Cam 66W has a more-than-HD resolution of 1440p and a wide field-of-view of 180 degrees, meaning it can see right across the front of your car, from one side to the other.
