Additionally, it boasts several unique features that are not standard for most dash cams but are incredibly beneficial, nonetheless. Furthermore, it also offers assistance for blind spots and other common alert conditions – even when your car lacks the capabilities for these types of warnings. The following rundown will provide a Garmin Dash Cam review so that you can assess whether or not this is the right product for you and your specific needs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice Control<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Voice control is the best feature available on this or any dash cam. By saying “OK, Garmin,” your Garmin Dash Cam 55 unit will activate the voice control feature. You can use this powerful, little dash cam to save audio, trip time, take a picture, start or stop recording video, and several other features. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a fully functional feature such as this allows the driver to concentrate on the road ahead and to the sides without the distraction of pushing buttons or monitoring the display. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garmin Dash Cam Review: Advanced Alert System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interested buyers of this Garmin dash cam should make a note of the electronic alert system features in this device. There is a lane departure warning and a forward-collision warning<\/a>. These features work even if your car lacks the technology for these types of alerts. What\u2019s more, these same optional features cost up to $3,000 on some vehicles, according to USA Today<\/a>, or as an add-on to an older car. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety<\/a> (IIHS), these features can reduce rear-end crashes dramatically; the \u201cforward collision warning alone reduces them by 27 percent\u2026\u201d<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lane departure warning alerts you if your car veers out of your lane and the forward collision warning alerts you if your car is about to strike something at the front. This cam will also warn you of upcoming traffic lights and speed cameras, which could save you more than the price of the camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Some municipalities prohibit or regulate this device\u2019s use within their city limits. It is up to you to comply (OR NOT) with these applicable laws, privacy rights, and use of this device.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
