Garmin Dash Cam 57 Review

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Garmin Dash Cam 57, and I must say that it did not disappoint. This product is a pocket sized dash camera that goes virtually unnoticed on your windshield. It automatically records and saves video of incidents with GPS location, date and time.

The camera has an impressive 140 degree lens that records 1440p HD video with Garmin Clarity HDR optics for crisp detail day and night. It also offers voice control in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Swedish which lets you use spoken commands to save video, start/stop audio recording, take still pictures and more. The saved videos can be automatically uploaded via Wi Fi connection to the secure online Vault for viewing and sharing later.

Another great feature of this device is the Parking Guard which monitors activity around your parked vehicle and alerts if an incident is detected. It requires Wi Fi connection access via the Garmin Drive app on your compatible smartphone when you re away from your parked car. You can also access the camera remotely for Live View monitoring which requires constant power and an active Wi Fi connection access via the Garmin Drive app on your compatible smartphone when you re away from your parked car.

The device also includes driver alerts such as forward collision, lane departure and speed camera warnings to help encourage safer driving and increase situational awareness. You can get more awareness around your vehicle using the Garmin Drive app on your compatible smartphone to view video from up to 4 Garmin dash cams sold separately. Plus, its durable design withstands harsh vehicle environments including direct sunlight and hot interior temperatures.

Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable dash cam with plenty of features at a reasonable price point. The device is easy to install on any windshield quickly with its low profile magnetic mount making it convenient for those times when you need it most! The picture quality is excellent day or night, so you never miss a thing while driving! Plus, with its wide angle lens you get a much better view of the road ahead than other dash cams offer!
