Garmin Dash Cam™ X110, Compact 1080p HD Dash Cam

What people want from a dashcam varies, so this cam may not be right for people with different needs. I wanted a cam that was inexpensive, reliable, can be ignored 99.99% of the time, included GPS (for time, location, and speed tagging of the video), has available options for clean and simple powering (check out Dongar for this), and records audio and video with the clarity I need. The X110 meets all those requirements, plus I have other Garmin devices, so I'm familiar with their products. What I don't need is resolution fine enough to read license plates (plenty of 4K cams struggle with this), I just need resolution good enough to document accidents and incidents. 4K would be nice, but isn't worth an additional $200 for me. If you need the license plate, you can call it out and have it recorded on audio. Night vision is good enough for my needs. While there are some drawbacks to the X110, there are either workarounds or they're not important to me. Video review and downloading is such an example, when using the Garmin Drive app, which is extremely slow and clunky. If I need to review a video, I just pop out the MicroSD (easily accessible from the bottom), and do it on my computer, editing with VLC of FFMPEG if necessary. Takes a fraction of the time compared to the app. I also don't need Garmin's very expensive Vault cloud storage ($99 yearly, $9.99 monthly). If you don't need a screen, the Mini 3 might be a cheaper option, but it lacks GPS (maybe useful as an additional cam for interior or back-facing video/audio). Additional features I like are the voice interface, (e.g. "OK, Garmin, record video" for non-accident incidents), mount options, and very tiny size. I appreciate the tiny size for if I'm pulled over by an LEO and I want audio documentation of the interaction without the LEO's awareness. This happens seamlessly with the X110 (just leave it running in Park, or remember after turning off your engine to put it in accessory mode to power the dashcam). My setup is the X110 ($150), Dongar power adapter ($35) from the mirror, ($10) 32GB V30 MicroSD card (I don't need days and days of recording), and the Garmin suction cup mount ($25) for easy placement and removal. About $220 total. Works for me. If you have different requirements, check out other options. RE: SD card size: The X110 uses 0.131 GB for 2 min of video (3.93 GB/hr). If on average, you drive 1.5 hr/day, and you want to have 3 days of rolling temporary video, plus 2 hr of space for saved videos (6.5 hr total), then you will need 6.5 * 3.93 = 25.5 GB of storage. So, a 32 GB card will be enough (it will actually give you about 8 hours in total). 64 GB = 16 hr (~2 weeks temp video), and 128GB = 32 hr (~4 weeks temp video). Adjust all figures for your needs. At least for me, 99.9%+ of my driving is incident-free boredom, even 3 days of temp video needed is a stretch. You could probably do fine with a 16 GB card. Update: Installed another X110 in our other car, using the Dongar power adapter. Even cleaner install second time round. I've installed thousands of kinds of electronic/computer devices, I have to say again, the initial setup for this cam is extremely clunky, with various connectivity issues, and a slow firmware update procedure. FWIW, if you get an X110, make sure to install Garmin Express on your PC to facilitate the firmware update. Go through the initial setup with your phone and the X110. After complete, switch the X110 off and remove the microSD. Using an adapter connect it to your PC. Garmin Express will recognize it and go through a short setup. You'll then see the banner telling you there's a firmware update. Click through and download the update, but don't try to install it. Exit Garmin Express, remove the microSD and reinstall it in the X110 and power up. Now, upon starting, the X110 will install the firmware update from the microSD, just wait until the install is done and the X110 has restarted.

Garmin is always a safe option. After trying out a couple of “too chinese” (not so) cheap products, it was a relief to get it. Works well, not that expensive (even though they could add the memory card to the kit).

The camera itself is ok. The quality is not the best at getting license plates but it’ll do. The only part that sucked is the original adhesive that sticks to your windshield. It will detach if temps are too high. I recommend buying the suction attachment instead.

Excellent image quality and easy to use. However, if you want to use it in multiple vehicles you will need to purchase a suction cup type mount separately. Since the suction cup is fairly large, it can obstruct a small portion of the video image. A microSD card is needed to use the camera. I am planning a long trip so purchased a 256gb micro SD card.

Easy to install, I have the mini with no screen so upgraded another vehicle with this. The screen turns on when I start the car, important for me so I know it’s at the right angle. My previous garmin without the screen, after a car wash I didn’t notice that the detailer accidentally moved my camera while wiping my windshield. Found out after I tried to retrieve video of an accident, and the video was facing the sky. Won’t make that mistake again. This one also detects lane crossing, moving traffic and traffic cameras. Packs a big punch in a tiny camera.

3 star for the amazing video quality including at night. And for feature to disable recording audio. cons - 1 . The glue on the mounting arm will melt due to heat or loosen even if you do not put it on wind shield causing it to shake or move while driving. when on wind shield it fell on the dashboard while driving. Support receommended to get rid of the glue on it, and buy a vhb tape to hold it firm. I bought the one from gorilla which was readily available in walmart nearby but it did the same thing when the area just behind wind shield, in the back of the rear view mirror became too warm. it was close to 96 outside 2. then camera shutoff during the driving due to temparature outside. It was not mounted on wind shield but still it could not tolerate the sun outside. 2. Battery on the camera sucks. it would shut off in minutes after turning off the car and keep screaming low battery. You will have to have the car powered on to adjust the settings on it using the buttons on the side. 3. No recording during parking. we need to buy a special cable $ 52 Constant Power Cable, which does not come with it. camera will power off immediately as soon as the 12V accessory socket loses power. 4. Connecting to it via wifi and viewing the live video on drive app is a great feature. But its not reliable as most of the time it keeps searching for that wifi connectivity. I turned off and on the wifi on my both iphone 14 and 17pro but it did not find the wifi signal from the camera while i am sitting right on passenger side. After we stopped the car and camera rebooted, it started to work. Happened each time.

If your car does not already have a forward facing camera with lane control and other warnings, this device definitely helps.

Great dash cam, just wish the speaker quality was a bit better.

Images claires, application conviviale, toute petite caméra très facile d’utilisation. Pour le prix, on ne peut demander mieux

Buena cámara, es pequeña pero graba bien de día, noche y hasta con lluvia se ve bien. Incluye un cable lo suficientemente largo para conectarlo al toma corriente y trae para pegarse sin necesidad de comprar el accesorio a parte. Aún no he exportado video, pero la app es intuitiva, aunque un poco lenta. Recomiendo comprar el adaptador al puerto OBD2.

Satisfecho con la compra La mejor opción dentro de las que he probado

Works great. Small and easy to install and run the wiring.

Cumple al 100% su propósito. La aplicación de Garmin es muuuuuy lenta para sincronizar los videos al celular, por eso las 4 estrellas. Pero si compras un lector de micro usb a usb C estás mas que perfecto para importar los videos a tu celular.
