    It is not the highest quality ever, but it shows vehicles at least well, even at night. The wifi transfer is absurdly slow, especially for the low quality images. You CANNOT read license plates with this, even when very close (see amazon van picture) Good enough for a phone, and to show fault, but I would not rely on this catching any evidence. Might get you out of a speeding ticket though. turned off front pre-collision detection after 100 miles (every car that merged in front of me was setting it off)collision detection went off over the rumble strips when crossing over for constructionI never even tried lane departure.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 3, 2020
    I was in the market for a Dashcam for quite some time and thought to shop around during the holidays to see what was out there. After visiting a few Big Box Stores, I was prompted to invest in Garmin. This is a good introductory product for anyone whom is just getting into the Dashcam market. After reading some of the Reviews I settled on buying the Garmin 45.

    So below for my quick Review:

    Pro's

    1) Small and compact and can sit right behind your Rearview Mirror with minimal obstruction.
    2) Install was quick and easy; I was a bit nervous on how to hide the wires but it's quick you probably want to take your time doing it. You need to run the wire along the border of the windshield and inside roof of your vehicle; while tucking the wire underneath the fabric. Take your time doing it because you don't want to have to it again.
    3) Both picture and video quality is stellar; definitely 1080p HD Quality. Amazing. No issues between the day and night; quality is great. (Refer to the attached pictures and videos)
    4) You can tailor both your pictures and videos through the Garmin App and save it easily on to your Device.
    5) Forward Collision and Lane Departure Warnings are spot on; they are great features while driving; you can set the Volume level accordingly. I especially like the Red Light and Speed Light Cameras beacuse you won't know where they are; and it actually identify these while driving. A definite asset.

    Con's
    1) Device appears to be made between of a hard plastic with some rubber casing. Not overly concerning but I hope it can sustain an impact it if accidentally distaches from the windshield or if in a fender bender it won't be damaged at impact.
    2) Camera won't remain powered once your car is turned off. Therefore if you want to catch anyone damaging your vehicle; unfortunately you won't be able to unless you purchase Garmin parking mode cable, which is sold separately; and requires professional installation.

    I believe that everyone should have a Dashcam whether you are driving short or long distances; this is a great added security for capturing events that you wish you could of recorded while driving.

    I have yet to have any issues with this Dashcam and am truly enjoying it. I've had it for approximately 2 months and find it an absolute necessity for my vehicle. It's a great little device with some cool features that I'm certain you will enjoy.

    This is my third dash cam! and thus far, I am quite happy with the price, size, quality and features.

    As you can see from the picture, the size is phenomenal compared to most. The plastic and rubber like coating looks and feels great and does not have that cheap plastic feel to it like others and again, the size is excellent as you cannot see it mounted behind your mirror.

    The quality of the video is great, make sure to use the MP4 version and not your media player for better quality when viewing on your laptop/pc. I did not have any issues downloading the app and pairing my iPhone with Garmin, the only downfall is you must sign in each and every time.

    I am not a fan of sticking a dash cam permanently to the windshield or the suction cup, so I was very happy to see this set up with a small circular metal plate affixed to your windshield that fits snuggly to the Garmin.

    I have not played with the other features as of yet, however I am very happy with the purchase.
