Mini cam11/9/2022 ![]() Other, larger models of Garmin dash cam have their own batteries, but often last for just 30 minutes, so plugging in is generally the norm, even for pricier options. There is no battery inside the Mini, so it will only work when it is plugged in. There is, however, a Wi-Fi connection for connecting the camera to the Garmin Drive smartphone app (for iOS and Android), more of which in the software section below. With its lack of display, voice control and driver assistance, there isn’t much to say about the features of the Dash Cam Mini. An included adapter fits into your car’s 12V lighter socket and provides two USB ports, one for powering the camera and a spare for powering something else like your smartphone. Two USB cables are included in the box, one long and one short, giving you the option of plugging the camera in each time you use it, or routing the longer cable around the dashboard of your car for a more permanent setup. On one side is a microSD card slot (although no card is included in the box), and on the other there is a microUSB port for power. Instead, one button on the side mutes and unmutes the microphone, and a larger button on the back saves a section of video when pressed. There is no touchscreen on the Dash Cam Mini, or a display of any kind. Garmin has given the Dash Cam Mini a plain, matt black finish which feels like it’ll shrug off being chucked into the glovebox between uses. This makes for stable video recording, and zero movement when driving over speed bumps or caught out by a pothole. ![]() ![]() The ball-and-socket connection to the mounting arm offers a sturdy grip, keeping the camera in place no matter what angle you position it at. That said, we would feel comfortable leaving the Garmin Dash Cam Mini permanently in our car, due to how discreet it looks from both inside and out. ![]()
