As with most dash cams there’s no hardwiring kit in the box: you’ll need to spend $34.99/£45 on one if you want to get the most from the Dash Cam Live’s connected features. The cable plugs directly into the dash cam’s body, so you’ll need to disconnect it if you’re removing it from the car. Unusually, this camera comes with a choice of two lengths of power cable to fit into the supplied cigarette lighter adaptor. One thing to look out for is the bright red power LED at the base of the screen, which can be distracting – I covered it with a small blob of Blu-Tack. That helps the Garmin Dash Cam Live fit snugly behind or to the side of your rear-view mirror, although you’ll probably want it where you can see any warnings on its screen. It’s strongly magnetic, and the most slimline mount I’ve seen on any camera. Its mount looks for all the world like a 50p piece with a sticky pad on one side – although it’s actually a nonagon. There’s no doubt this is a great looking camera, and with no rear module it’s also easy to set up. At this price I’d also expect 4K resolution, as I’ve seen it on cameras costing around half as much. It’s a smart little device, packed full of features, but it’s also missing some biggies – most notably, support for a rear-view camera. The Garmin Dash Cam Live combines 1440p (QHD) resolution filming, always-on cloud connectivity and advanced driver safety alerts into a compact dash camera.
