The Garmin Dash Cam 57 is a high-end dashcam with fantastic QuadHD resolution. It is equipped with Wifi and GPS and you have the option to watch along live or receive notifications at a distance.
Garmin's 57 records in very sharp QuadHD resolution in 30fps. The camera can also be set to FullHD 60fps, videos will be a lot smoother.
The camera has a convenient and compact 2.0-inch LCD screen on which the menu is easy to operate and you can view saved videos.
Garmin allows you to connect up to four dashcams to your smartphone. This way you can record in front, behind and on the sides of your car. Note that you will need a separate power supply and SD card for all dashcams.
The Garmin 57 is equipped with GPS receiver. This tracks location and speed with every video. The speed is displayed at the bottom of the screen and with the Garmin App, you can easily see what route you traveled.
Garmin gives you the option to store 24 hours of videos for free in the Cloud so you can watch them from anywhere in the world, even when you're not around. There are also paid subscriptions of €5.99 and €10.99 for 7 days and 30 days of storage, respectively. Note that in order to store the images, there must be an active Wifi connection (hotspot) in the car to which you can connect the dashcam. This can be created with a Wifi hotspot adapter (see accessories) into which a SIM card with data subscription can be inserted.
The Garmin 57 always keeps an eye out and warns you, the driver, of dangerous situations:
- FCWS: Forward Collision Warning System that warns when approaching a vehicle in front at high speed.
- LDWS: Lane Departure Warning System that warns when a lane change occurs unnoticed.
- FDWS: Forward Departure Warning System notifies if your predecessor has left at the stoplight or in a traffic jam while you are momentarily not paying attention.
The Garmin 57 automatically switches to parking mode when the car is parked for several minutes. In this special mode, the camera is on standby and begins a short recording as soon as movement or vibration is detected. It has a small built-in battery that lasts about 30 minutes. Please note that using the parking mode for longer duration requires the OBD or Continuous power supply to power the dashcam once the car ignition is off.
The Garmin 57 supports Micro SD cards up to 512gb. This is good for 60 hours of QuadHD videos. When the SD card is full, Loop recording automatically overwrites the oldest footage for new footage so you always have the latest rides on the SD card.
This dashcam alerts you to red light and speed cameras. Please note that a subscription is required to receive up-to-date information in your region.
With the optionally available CPL filter you take away annoying radiations or reflections from the dashboard. The filter is magnetic and therefore easy to insert and remove.
The compact but sturdy holder is attached to the windshield with a double-sided sticker. You then simply place the dashboard camera on the holder with a magnetic connector. This allows you to remove it from the car in no time. Optionally, a suction cup mount is available if you want to use the dashcam in multiple vehicles.
The Garmin dashcam comes with a handy Dual USB charger so you have an extra USB port to charge your phone, for example.
