Features

Overview: The Garmin Dash Cam 35 is a compact, stand-alone HD video recorder which mounts to your windshield with the supplied adhesive mount. It has a 3" LCD display, and comes with a 4 GB microSD card. As it records, the time and date and location data are embedded into the video so you'll know exactly when and where a captured event occurred. Other safety features include a Forward Collision warning, and warnings to alert you of red light and speed cameras along your route.

GPS: Built-in Garmin GPS technology provides an accurate record of your location, should an event take place. The unit will embed location information into the recordings as you drive. Should an accident or incident occur, the captured footage will include the exact location (latitude and longitude), direction of travel, speed, date, and time the event took place.

Recording: The Dash Cam 35 records in a continuous loop onto a microSD card. It records video as you drive. As long as the Dash Cam is receiving power, it is recording. As the available memory runs out, it starts recording over the oldest recordings. You can manually save a video recording by pressing a dedicated button on the side. You can also take still photos at any time by pressing the Photo button on the side panel.

Resolution: The Dash Cam 35 records high definition video in AVI format (H.264 compression) at 30 frames per second onto the microSD card. You can set the resolution to 1080p or 720p. The higher the resolution, the shorter the available recording time on the memory card.

Display: The unit is equipped with a 3" color TFT LCD display. You can use the display to properly aim the camera while recording, or for playing back recordings. The brightness of the screen can be adjusted in the menu.

Lens: The Dash Cam has a wide-angle lens that gives you a full view of the road. You can manually adjust the exposure for brighter or darker lighting conditions.

Rechargeable Battery: The built-in rechargeable battery is charged when connected to vehicle power through the DC power port. Normally, the unit will be plugged into vehicle power as you drive. If you need to remove the Dash Cam from the vehicle, the battery has enough stored power to operate approximately 30 minutes.

Record After Power Loss: You can set the Dash Cam to continue recording after the DC power is lost. You can choose between 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute.

microSD Card: The Dash Cam 35 comes with a 4 GB microSD Class 4 card. The camera is compatible with microSD cards up to 64 GB, Class 4 or higher required.

Automatic Incident Detection: The Dash Cam has a built-in G-sensor, which can detect when a collision or hard braking occurs. When the G-sensor detects an incident, the previous, current, and next recordings are automatically saved. This way, a complete record of the moments before, during, and after the event is preserved.

Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS): As you drive, the Dash Cam 35 continuously records the view in front of your vehicle. The Forward Collision Warning feature alerts you if you are driving too close to the vehicle ahead of you. The device determines your speed using GPS, and calculates a safe following distance to the vehicle ahead of you, based on your speed. If the device detects that you are following too closely, a warning appears on the screen and an audible alert will sound. You can set the Forward Collision Warning sensitivity to low, medium, or high.

Red Light/Speed Cameras: In select regions, where location information on Red Light and Speed cameras is available, an audible warning will sound, and an alert message will appear on the screen, when you are approaching a known safety camera location. This feature is not available in all regions.

Damage Camera: Should you be involved in an accident, you can remove the Dash Cam 35 from its mount and use it to take pictures of vehicle or property damage.

Installation: The Dash Cam 35 is designed to be mounted on your windshield using the included adhesive mount. The adhesive disk is only 1-5/8" in diameter, however, it is designed for long term installations. The camera should always be mounted in the upright orientation, otherwise the resulting video will be upside down or sideways. If connected to an ignition-switch powered outlet, the Dash Cam will turn on and off automatically as you turn the ignition on and off.

Viewing Videos and Photos: You can view recorded video and still image files on the Dash Cam's LCD screen. You can remove the microSD card and view the files using a card reader on your computer. Videos and still images are stored in separate folders. When viewing the footage on your computer, you'll have a record of the date and time.
