Garmin dash cams are reliable and easy to use. You likely know how useful they are. Dash cams have gone from a “nice-to-have” to a “must-have” addition to your vehicle. Car owners, truck owners—even motorcycle owners—realize the value of capturing the many unexpected events that happen on the road on digital video. Garmin has a wide selection of dash cams, like the Garmin 47, 57, 67W, and mini all to be given away in this contest. Read on to learn two of my favourite features and for a chance to win one of these Garmin dash cams.

Garmin dash cams provide clear and detailed recordings

Drivers want a dash cam that reliably captures high-quality video and high-definition still recordings. There’s a lot of factors that can affect the quality of the footage: fast moving cars, varying light and weather conditions can make capturing good videos and images even more difficult. There is a lot of technology built into Garmin dash cams to ensure quality images are captured and stored, and can easily be shared afterwards.

When looking for a dash cam, look for ones with the right resolution that can give you quality footages. With the right resolution, dash cams can give you a clear and detailed picture of the road that captures important details, such as plate numbers. Garmin dash cams have the standard 1440p HD and 1080p HD resolutions that, combined with its Clarity HDR optics feature, ensure you get clear and detailed footages day and night.

Save videos instantly with Garmin online storage vault

The videos and still photos your dash cam takes help provide a clear picture of incidents that happen on the road, so having a place online to save all of them just makes sense. Most people want a dash cam so they can show recordings of road incidents as proof, whether for insurance or police purposes, and your dash cam should make them readily available for you when you need them.

With Garmin dash cams you can quickly and easily upload, manage, and share videos online using its online storage vault. When your dash cam detects an incident or if you choose to save a video, it will automatically upload and store your files to the online storage vault for 24 hours. If you want to store your videos for a longer period of time, each Garmin dash cam comes with its own subscription plan.

Through the online storage vault, you can access your videos using your Garmin app, where you can view, trim, and export your videos to save on your phone. What I also like about this feature is that you can easily share your video with anyone simply by providing them a link to that video.

Remember you can enter only once by commenting below. As we all look forward to the warmer seasons, I’m pretty sure many of us are now planning ahead for a few long drives we’re taking. There’s so many possibilities. Go camping. Visit a town north of the Arctic Circle, or drive from coast to coast. Whatever your plan is, drive safely and take a reliable dash cam with you: you never know what video footage you might capture. If you don’t have one yet, enter this contest.

  1. I love that you can upload the images fast and that they’re high resolution too! I would use it to help protect my parents when I can’t be there with them 24/7.

  2. My favourite feature is that it automatically upload and store your files to the online storage vault for 24 hours if it detects an accident. Would be super helpful to look back on to see exactly what happened.

  3. Most important feature is continuous recording. Will benefit my driving experience by giving me a feeling of security.

  4. The high quality, to ensure any relevant footage is clear and usable if need be.

    Also the wifi option, to be able to check the car, even when parked, to be sure nobody is trying to enter the vehicle

  5. I LIKE MOST ABOUT THIS CAMERA S
    IS THE HIGH RESOLUTION, HOW IT CAN SAFE YOUR LIVE OR SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE.
    TO WATCH A RECKLESS DRIVING SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL.
    OR IF SOMEONE IS DRINKING AND DRIVING.
    This would diffently be helpful, it would pick on the details that I would have missed.
    The the world is going these days.
    This dash Cam is a must-have.
    Thank you so much
    Wish me luck my friends ❤️
    I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT IT’S EASY TO USE.

  6. I would love to win one mainly for the fact that if/when I happen to pick something up on my camera it could seriously help someone else by capturing their incident to help their case . Maybe some one who’s missing can be found . So many benefits of having one. Or even for my own use I could use one to ensure my rights are protected in a court case . Fingers crossed thank you for the opportunity

  7. High quality video recording and voice commands. When this country girl goes to the city it will definitely come in handy for my own reassurance.

  8. I would love a Garmin Dash Cam ,with Winnipeg winters come many bad driver or slippery roads. It would be great to have a high quality video recording the an accident , vehicle and licence plate for autopac.

  9. Garmin dash cams provide clear and detailed recordings. This is great for those times when someone cuts you off on the road and you have a clear record. This would give me great peace of mind knowing that I have a visual record of anything that needs to be reported.

  10. One feature important to me is the high quality images. I would benefit from this if I were involved in a road incident and needed this for insurance purposes.

  11. I love that it has instant storage. I will feel better knowing that I have a dash cam in case I need to revisit something I saw or didn’t see. I have always wanted one of these.

  12. My husband had to pay when another lady cut him off. This would have help him prove it was not him and saved us money.

  13. This would be great when out with my drone in northern Ontario I would never miss out on that perfect shot.
    And like all Garmin products I’m sure it would be up for the challenge.
    Nice to see that it’s being offered with 1440p.

  14. The Dashcam provides a clear picture of incidents that happen on the road, so having a place online to save all of them just makes sense. Also, it shows recordings of road incidents as proof, whether for insurance or police purposes.

  15. I drive a large black truck, and always use headlights, and still people jump out in front of me, especially in small cars. I’m a very careful driver but it’s just a matter of time, and I hope I have a dashcam when it happens. The only thing worse than ruining your day by getting into a crash is not being able to prove you were not in the wrong!

  16. The online vault feature so I can upload and store videos right on my phone would make my whole driving experience safer and I would feel better about my teenagers newly driving when I can see what happens when they are behind the wheel.

  17. Driving on the 401 is a nightmare at the best of times. Having some peace of mind. With a dash cam would alleviate some stress in my drive

  18. Well, I guess this is perfect timing – yesterday alone I had 2 people cut me off; 1 just missing the front corner of my vehicle and not long ago I was just in the process of making a left on green turn and a vehicle ran the red light and just missed me. Wish I had a Garmin Dash Cam then – the high resolution would be great to capture plate numbers as you can’t exactly write them down while driving.

  19. I would love to have a camera so every time I drive I can have a record of any poor drivers who may cut me off or or do anything unsafe . It becomes proof if there is an accident. I would also like it for wildlife on the road. It would bring a measure of safety and peace of mind.

  20. I like the wide angle view and resolution to pick up detail in case of an accident, this would be so helpful

  21. I love how clear these cameras are! Hi-resolution imagery is a must! One of these would be very beneficial, as they can help report incidents that may happen on the road, whether they involve yourself or others!
