Garmin mini
I have a Garmin mini 2, haven’t needed it yet but works well.
Pros: works well
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
In my ND I had the Garmin Mini 2 and an adapter that plugged into the Gentex mirror to power it. It was super clean, completely hidden between the windshield and mirror with no power cables ran to the 12v socket. It’s been a solid dashcam that has been serving me well for the last 4 years in the FL heat, parked outside uncovered.
Pros: super clean, completely hidden, solid, reliable for 4 years, durable in heat
Vehicle:
Mazda
People are super into their dash cams. I can tell you I have one from Garmin, worked perfectly during an accident when I needed it most. New car, new dash cam still a Garmin. Best Buy in Milpitas will install it easily without cables showing for $79 worth it to me
Pros: worked perfectly during accident
if you want one that’s small and out of the way, I have Garmin Mini 2 and 3 on both my cars. You can view videos on your phone if you connect to the camera via bluetooth
Pros: small and out of the way
I went for a Garmin Dash Mini 2 because it's discreet, doesn't get in the way of vision, and the data can be extracted easily.
Pros: discreet, easy data extraction
I've stuck with Garmin since then. Latest purchase was the 55 I think, the one with the lower fov so I can keep distance details.
Pros: keeps distance details
Vehicle:
Volvo S80
garmin mini 3 with the dongar cable. Tuck it up behind the passenger side of your rear view mirror and its basically invisible and runs in the background. Honestly forget i have it until I see questions like this come up in this sub haha
Pros: basically invisible
I run a Garmin Mini 2 with a Dongar Technologies mirror power adapter. It hides behind the mirror so well you dont even realize it is there.
Pros: hides behind mirror
