Several dash cam models are available to buy from Garmin, but the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2, despite its small size, is the overall best. The Mini 2 fits behind your rearview mirror and is barely noticeable, which is excellent if you want it to blend into the background. It’s also straightforward to install, using a magnet and ball-and-socket joint to mount at the perfect angle, and just as easy to set up with Garmin’s adequate smartphone app, a process that won’t take more than a few minutes.
Once done, you’ll have full HD video ready, with a 140-degree field-of-view. The 1080p video runs at 30 fps and includes HDR, capturing a clear picture even with poor lighting or bad weather. This is especially important if you need license plate numbers or other vital information in an accident. The Mini 2 is modestly priced at $129.99, making it the cheapest model Garmin offers. Something to keep in mind, however, is that the Dash Cam Mini 2 doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, like internal memory, a display, a battery, or GPS.
