Garmin® Introduces Helpful Driver Alerts to Its Dash Cam Family
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced the new Dash Cam 30 and Dash Cam 35. Representing the next
generation of the Garmin Dash Cam™, these two high-definition standalone
driving recorders easily mount to a windshield and record footage in a
continuous loop. Garmin Dash Cam starts recording when the vehicle is
turned on and stops when it is turned off1, serving as a
driver’s true eyewitness on the road. The Incident Detection (G-sensor)
automatically saves video footage on impact. New driver alerts2 allow
Dash Cam to not only record the drive ahead, but also offer helpful
alerts that encourage safer driving behavior for customers.
“Owning a Dash Cam for your vehicle shows good sound judgment,” said Dan
Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “Garmin Dash Cams
provide the reliability and high quality standards that drivers deserve.
Now with the addition of new driver alerts to the Garmin Dash Cam, we
can proudly promote safer driving behavior for our dedicated customer
base.”
Helpful driver alerts include Forward Collision Warnings3,
which provide alerts to users when they are driving too closely to the
vehicle ahead. Furthermore, drivers have the advantage of knowing where
red light or speed cameras are placed with the red light and speed
camera warning4 alert. Driver alerts are available only on
the Dash Cam 35 model.
Garmin Dash Cam models are available with and without GPS. The
GPS-enabled Dash Cam 35 allows the camera to label footage with date,
time, latitude, longitude and speed so that customers know exactly when
and where events take place. The date and time may be manually set on
Dash Cam 30.
Both Dash Cam 30 and 35 have excellent fields of view and capture video
in 1080p and 720p with crisp detail in bright or low-light conditions.
Dash Cam 30 has a compact 1.4-inch LCD display and Dash Cam 35 offers a
larger 3.0-inch LCD display.
With the inclusion of the snapshot feature, customers have the freedom
to remove these dash cams from their mount to snap close-up photography
of their vehicles or property damage. Additionally, users can
conveniently play back video footage directly on the display of the
device, or download the free Garmin software at Garmin.com/dashcamplayer
to review and organize video files at a later time on a computer.
Video footage is stored on the replaceable microSD™ memory card, which
is included with purchase of the Garmin Dash Cam. Both Dash Cam 30 and
35 accept microSD cards (Class 4 required) of up to 64GB.
Garmin Dash Cam 30 (without GPS or driver alerts) has a suggested retail
price of $169.99 and Garmin Dash Cam 35 (with GPS and driver alerts) has
a suggested retail price of $199.99. Both cameras are expected to be
available in the fourth quarter of this year. For more information,
