I live in the southeast, so it's pretty hot during the summer. The camera started falling off the windshield with the included foam mounting tape at around 8-9 months. I ended up buying some good 3M high strength outdoor foam mounting tape, cut it to size, and replaced what came with the camera. The camera mount I chose was the hexagonal piece of steel that attaches to the windshield with the foam tape, and the camera has a hexagonal cup with a strong magnet it in it. The dashcam is pretty light, and they do include enough mounting/cable length to mount this where you'd need it.
The Garmin drive setup software can use some help as the pairing process is very manual, and if you are not paying attention, and you miss hitting pair on both the phone and camera at the same time, you will need to reset the camera to factory defaults, and then remove the botched bluetooth connections in your phone. The bluetooth pairing process doesn't explain that you will have two different bluetooth connections for the one camera, so pay careful attention to the pairing process - Both bluetooth connections will be DC-67W and the other is DC67W-#####-BT
Aside from this, I ran into a very difficult issue to solve after a few months of usage, but eventually figured it out - VPN apps in iOS will disrupt your ability to connect to the dashcam's WiFi connection depending on the VPN app settings. Basically VPN applications can become a middleman between your phone's wireless adaptor and the wireless connection or "SSID". These VPN settings can alter IP addressing/routing, and will prevent you from connecting to the camera with your phone/app to export or even watch the footage on your cameras SD-card. This is because the Garmin drive app is very simple in that when you try and view footage on your dashcam, the drive app actually tells the dashcam via bluetooth to "enable wireless", essentially making your dashcam a wireless access point, then the drive app connects your phone to the cameras SSID, enters in the wireless password for you (this is happening behind the scenes), and then allows you to manage the footage, update the firmware of the camera, etc. It is during this wireless connection process that VPN apps can enable itself to protect you and will basically change IP information of your phone, which then stops your camera and phone from communicating with eachother.
I suspect this is because the dashcam only knows about the network 192.168.0.0/24, where as your VPN app may force your wireless adaptor to be on a different private network to basically hide your phone from untrusted WiFi SSIDs. I'm sure there could be more variables, but this is what was happening in my case. Disabling VPN was my resolution to this issue. If you have the option to set your VPN app to disable itself when connecting to trusted WiFi connections, that might be an easy fix.
Garmin needs to streamline the software, and pairing process to help avoid having users that don't have I.T. or networking knowledge, getting stuck dealing with these types of connectivity issues. Garmin should include additional pop-ups in the app for when things aren't working or during setup like "please disable VPN connectivity when connecting to the camera's wireless connection", or "You must accept the bluetooth pairing prompts on both the mobile device, and on the dashcam at the time of pairing", etc.
Other than the above, I do recommend this dashcam.
I am using a 256 GB micro SanDisc Extreme. I get tons of hours of driving time - not sure exactly how many hours – Garmin says 256GB will store approximately 18 hours (see Garmin’s chart in my attached pics). That’s a lot of driving time. I am using the parking mode & powering the camera through my vehicles OBDC port using an adapter (acquired from Amazon), that allows me to select 5 minutes of parking time or until my vehicle battery reaches 11.6V.
The setup for the camera has quite a variety of options that allow you to tailor the operation of the Garmin 57 to meet your needs. If there’s something you want the camera to do, look carefully through the set-up options – it’s probably there. I am using the driving alerts which I kind of like. They include lane departure, following to closely, telling you when the traffic in front of you is moving at a stop light, etc. They’re not bad since I’m driving a Jeep Wrangler which notoriously have very little to no similar technology.
The Garmin App (in my humble opinion) is absolutely worthless – I don’t think it’s possible for ANYTHING to work SLOWER than the Garmin App. I tried using it on Day 1, gave up & never looked at it again. Anytime I want to view a file I do it on my PC. I just pop out the Micro SD, put it in the adapter that comes with the Micro SD & pop it into my PC. The .MP4 files are located in the DCIM Folder & if you specifically asked the Garmin 57 to “Save” the file, you will find them in the “Saved” folder or otherwise in the “Unsaved” folder which will be overwritten when the Micro SD is full. I usually just go to the ”Unsaved” folder & view everything from there using Windows File Explorer. If there’s anything I really want to keep I simply copy it to my PC. The .GLV files are basically worthless to me at that point – they are just a very low resolution videos - I think intended to work faster with the Garmin APP – so I just delete then by doing a sort, selecting them as a group & hitting “delete”. It frees up a tiny bit of space on the Micro SD, but also gets rid of HUNDREDS of files that you don’t need. When you select a group of .MP4 files, go to the top one, right click & hit “Open”, your selected viewer will automatically play one after another in a “continuous” fashion. So you could highlight a whole group from a recent trip & watch the trip without touching your keyboard.
So, in my “title” to this review I pose the question, is this device overpriced. I definitely think it is. I purchased the Garmin 57 over the more expensive models (67W) which provide a 180 degree view, not because it is less expensive, but because the 180 degree view was too distorted for me. I watched a super video on YT where the reviewer was showing the videos from each of the cams side-by-side, & very quickly took the 67W out of my shopping cart & replaced it with the 57 model. But here’s the reason I think these cams are overpriced. My home surveillance cameras (Wyze V1 - $25 & Wyze V2 - $35) (I have seven of them) have a MUCH better image than the Garmin 57. They have much better detection capabilities, and VERY FAST continuous playback through the app. These are $25 & $35 cameras & I think for the main purpose of a video camera (recording video), these cameras blow away the Garmin 57. Now you could say that I’m comparing apples & oranges but there are actually people who use the Wyze cams in their vehicles & when it comes to video recording – they get awesome results for a tiny fraction of the price. If they can produce a surveillance camera for such a low price that provides a better picture, these Garmin devices are way overpriced !!!
