All that being said, the Garmin Dash Cam Live did everything Garmin suggested it would. Up until now, I had resisted using any dash cam in my vehicle on a regular basis — largely because the extra utility wasn’t there. Most dash cams I’ve tested only really captured footage that was effectively useless beyond basic playback. The Garmin Dash Cam Live adds a ton of extra features to the dash cam that make it useful beyond just “a camera that sits on your dash.” But it is really expensive. Far more than a much more modest device like the 70mai Dash Cam Omni, anyway.
For the most part, depending on how much you’ll use those extra features, Garmin is treading a very fine line between features and value that you’ll need to consider, especially with the subscription add-on. But, considering that subscription pays for the LTE line you’d otherwise be adding to your phone bill, it’s not egregious.
You may just find that the extras justify the expense as they turn your dash cam from a passive camera that just records footage, to an active guardian both parked and in-motion. That added value might very close the gap between what you might pay for a simple camera (which could just as easily be an old smartphone), and what you should pay for a multifunctional machine such as this.
The Garmin Dash Cam Live can be found in the Garmin store on Amazon for approximately $400. Or, if you’d like even more functionality (and don’t mind paying a bit more, too), there’s always the Garmin DriveCam 76.
