Despite seemingly connecting successfully via Bluetooth, we then occasionally got a WiFi connection error message. While it's quick to download, we struggled to get the camera to connect to the app. Setting up the Garmin Mini requires your phone and the Garmin Drive App - free on the App Store or Google Play. You can at least buy replacement adhesive mounts for £9. The adhesive mount works well and feels very secure, but the lack of a suction mount (there's not even one available to buy separately) means this isn't suitable for those who want to move their dashcam between cars regularly. You can also turn the microphone on and off using the button on the side. There's a port for the power lead on one side, a slot for the micro SD card on the other (it requires the standard Class 10 type up tp 256GB) and a button that will save clips. It may be a compact design - as you can see in our pictures, it's smaller than most keyfobs - but the Garmin still feels a high-quality and well-built product, although you'd expect nothing less given the £100 price tag. In the box, you get the camera, instructions and two USB cables - one 1.5 metres and the other 4 metres long. The Mini has a parking mode which will automatically begin recording if it detects motion but this requires the dash cam to be hardwired. The adhesive mount is strong and works well but it's not ideal if you want to regularly use this in different vehicles. One thing it doesn't have is a suction mount.
Garmin dash cam mini 1080p#
While it may be small, it still records in 1080p at 30fps and has a standard 140-degree lens. There's no screen but it can be set up using the Garmin Drive app, which also lets you view, edit and download (or send) footage thanks to the built-in WiFi and Bluetooth.
At just 5cm long it's smaller than most car keys, which means it can sit pretty much unnoticed in your windscreen. The Garmin Dash Cam Mini is the smallest dash camera we've ever tested and you'd be hard-pressed to find anything smaller on the market.
