Dash cam BLACKVUE or GARMIN

Blackvue hardwired front and rear was $800 total installed by pro audio shop + $140 for a Blendmount. Best $940 I’ve ever spent.

I just installed a Garmin on my car this week.

Garmin mini

I am running the BlackVue and so far I am happy with my purchase.

I have a Garmin mini 2, haven’t needed it yet but works well.

Blackvue will also be grand, and fits a bit better in my ND with it tucked behind the rearview mirror so I dont take up any valuable windshield space.

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.

I have a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.

I just bought a new Rav 4 and paid $4500 for the protection package, tinting and dash cam. The BlackVue 800 Gold, front and rear cameras, fitted by Pacific Toyota in Cairns was $1500.

Blackvue 900, 2 channel; also had one in my 996 that was totaled when it was rear-ended by a perpetrator who was running from police. When I retrieved the mini SD to pull the video I discovered that the rear channel had failed some time previously.
