Garmin® Dash Cam™ 65W arrives with a 180-degree field of view
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced the Dash Cam 65W, its newest dash cam model capable of
capturing an exceptional 180-wide-angle field of view to expand the
scope of its high-quality 1080p video recording capability. The
increased field of view allows drivers to capture even more details from
the vehicle’s surroundings such as traffic congestions, road
construction and more. The Dash Cam 65W’s wide angle ultimately enhances
the way video is captured, shared and viewed. Sleek and compact, the
Dash Cam 65W boasts a number of established features found across the
Garmin Dash Cam series, including voice control, advanced driver
awareness features like red light and speed camera alerts1,
and forward collision and lane departure warnings2 to
encourage safer driving. A camera-assisted sensor known as the “Go”
alert is also built into the Dash Cam 65W to notify drivers when traffic
ahead of their vehicle begins to move.
“The new 180-degree field-of-view allows the Dash Cam 65W to capture
moments – like cross traffic details – that can often be missed with
other dash cams,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global
consumer sales. “Coupled with the ability to help increase a driver’s
sense of awareness while recording high-quality footage on the road, it
makes great sense for a customer to integrate the Dash Cam 65W into
their daily drive.”
As soon as the Dash Cam 65W is plugged in, the device automatically
begins to record high quality eyewitness video footage in 1080p, or 720p
with a 2.0-inch LCD display screen and a 2.1 megapixel camera. The
automatic incident detection (G-sensor) allows the Dash Cam 65W to save
footage on impact, while also adding GPS capabilities for detailed time
and location data. The dash cam also offers a parking mode option (cable
sold separately) that feeds constant power to the device when the
vehicle is parked and turned off, and automatically begins recording
surroundings when motion is detected.
The inclusion of voice control enables drivers to speak out commands to
the new dash cam to start and stop audio recordings, take still
pictures, and save videos. Customers can even speak out commands such
as, “OK Garmin, start Travelapse™,” — a video capture feature that
compresses hours of video footage into minutes of highlights. When
drivers download the free VIRB® mobile app to a compatible
smartphone, drivers can use the Dash Cam 65W’s built-in Wi-Fi®
to wirelessly sync their recorded videos and automatically share them
with friends, family or insurance agencies. For video storage, the Dash
Cam 65W includes a 8GB microSD™ card and can accept replaceable memory
cards (Class 10 required) of up to 64GB.
The Garmin Dash Cam 65W is expected to be available in June with a
suggested retail price of $249.99. For more information, visit www.garmin.com/DashCam.
