The Garmin Mini 3 is one of the smallest dashcams on the market. This super compact camera fits behind any rear-view mirror and is therefore barely noticeable in the car. You can connect to the camera anywhere in the world via the Cloud, and the built-in polarisation filter ensures optimal image quality in every situation.
The most striking feature of this Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 is its size. This dashcam is about the size of an average house key and is therefore hardly noticeable in the car. You can easily place it behind your rear-view mirror and forget about it.
The live connection to your Garmin dashcam offers useful features for extra security for your car. You can view live images, but also receive notifications of parking incidents. Location tracking is also available in case of theft. The Cloud option requires a wifi connection to the internet in the car.
The Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 films in high-quality Full HD (1080p) videos. The images are of good quality both during the day and at night, so that people and cars are clearly visible.
You can easily view the recorded videos on your smartphone within range of the dashcam (+/- 5 metres) via the Garmin App for iOS or Android. The videos can be viewed live and you can download stored videos to your phone so you can share them immediately. Thanks to the 5.0 GHz Wifi, file transfer is faster than with many other dashcams. The menu is also easy to operate via the app, allowing you to change settings very quickly.
By activating time-lapse recordings, you can record longer journeys without using up a lot of memory. In time-lapse mode, the camera takes a photo every second, which is later processed into an accelerated 30fps video. This can be useful for recording your entire holiday journey in one video.
This Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 supports you with warnings in dangerous situations. If desired, a warning is given in the following situations:
FCWS: Forward Collision Warning System. This system warns you when you are approaching a vehicle in front at high speed. For example, the system alerts you when there is a traffic jam in front of the car. With a good GPS signal, the current speed is known and the camera can make a good assessment of the situation around the car.
LDWS: Lane Departure Warning System. The camera can give a signal when the car is in danger of changing lanes on the motorway.
PCW: Pedestrian collision warning. Gives a warning when a pedestrian is too close to the car.
FCD: Front car departure warning. Issues a warning if the car in front has moved off but you are still stationary, for example at a traffic lights.
The Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 allows you to control the dashcam via voice commands (in English). Commands such as “Make picture”, “Turn off screen”, “Turn on audio” and “Lock the video” allow you to use the dashcam safely while driving and ensure you don't miss a single incident.
Garmin supports speed camera alerts in some regions. The data is automatically updated via the app so that you are always notified at the right locations.
Garmin offers the option to secure your car while parking. Connect the dashcam to the OBD or 3-wire hardwire kit to provide power to the dashcam even when the car is turned off. After a few minutes of parking, the Garmin automatically switches to parking mode.
With a modest viewing angle of 140 degrees, a large area around the car is recorded without distorting the image too much.
The dashcam comes standard with a sturdy self-adhesive mount. A suction cup mount is available as an option so that the dashcam can be used in multiple vehicles.
This Mini 3 dashcam is equipped with a built-in Garmin Clarity polarisation lens. This filter in the lens prevents annoying and harmful reflections in the videos, ensuring optimal image quality in all conditions.
The Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 has a built-in G-sensor. This sensor registers vibrations in the event of a collision. In that case, the current video is stored securely.
The dashcam is equipped with loop recording, which automatically overwrites the oldest images with new ones. The videos are stored in shorter 5-minute segments, and once the SD card is full, the oldest segment is deleted.
Secure recordings (manually selected or detected by the G-sensor) are stored in a separate folder and are not deleted by the loop recording. This way, you always have access to the latest and most important videos.
The Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 supports Micro SD cards up to 512GB, good for about 60 hours of recording. A Micro SD card is not included as standard.

 ChannelsThe number of cameras or “channels” the dashcam uses to film. A 1-channel 1CH dashcam films only the front and a 2CH also has a rear camera. A 3CH has an additional interior camera and a 4CH dashcam often consists of four separate cameras.

 ResolutionVideo resolution indicates how many pixels the videos consist of. Therefore, the higher the resolution, the larger the videos are and the more details can be seen. For example, 4K refers to the number of horizontal pixels (3840) of the video.
|
Full HD
|
 Night visionThe quality of video at night or in low light conditions is mainly determined by the image sensor used in the dashcam. Some dashcams also have infrared LEDs, but these are mainly effective at short distances for interior cameras, for example.
|
|
 Viewing angleDashcams always have a round “fish eye” lens with a wide viewing angle so that a larger area around the camera is recorded. So a wider viewing angle means you capture more but also results in some distortion at the sides.
|
|
 Image sensorThe image sensor used determines the resolution of the videos and is the biggest determinant of dashcam image quality.
|
|
 ProcessorThe chip or processor is basically the computer or brain of the dashcam. It converts the images into digital video files (usually MP4 or AVI). Along with the image sensor, it is a major determinant of the quality of the final videos.

| Functions | |
 WifiWifi allows you to view images on your phone or tablet within range of the camera (5 to 10 meters) without having to remove the SD card from the dashcam.
|
|
 GPSA dashcam with GPS records the current speed and location while filming. The speed can be displayed at the bottom of each video, this can be useful in determining the question of fault in an accident.
|
|
 Parking modeA dashcam with parking mode secures your car when it is parked. To use parking mode, the dashcam must be connected with a permanent power cable at the car's fuse box or to a Powerbank (see accessories).
|
|
 Parking mode typesIn parking mode, a dashcam films in a way that consumes less data and power such as in Time lapse (1 picture per second), motion detection or vibration detection. The dashcam automatically switches to this mode when you turn off the car's ignition.
|

 CloudA dashcam with Cloud allows you to watch live and receive notifications of (parking) events anywhere in the world. To use Cloud, you need a SIM card with internet connection and sometimes a (paid) user account.
|
|
 Loop recordingLoop recording allows the dashcam to keep recording continuously with a full SD card. When the SD card is full it automatically overwrites the oldest videos so that always the last trips are stored on the SD card.

|
 G-sensorThe G-sensor in a dashcam records vibrations and therefore notices when a collision or incident occurs. In that case, the current recording is stored separately and securely so that it cannot be overwritten by the Loop recording.

|
 CPL filter optionA CPL filter acts like Polaroid sunglasses in front of the lens and can prevent harmful or annoying reflections. Keep in mind that it is better to remove the CPL filter at night because otherwise the videos may become too dark.
|
|
 Memory typeThe way videos are stored in the dashcam. Most dashcams use a Micro SD card, others have built-in eMMC memory. Preferably use a new and fast SD card from a well-known brand to avoid failures.
|
|
 SD supportWith a Micro SD card, the storage capacity - depending on the dashcam model - can be expanded to 128gb, 256gb or even 512gb. Up to about 24 hours of FullHD or 12 hours of 4K video can be stored on a 128gb SD card.

|
 BatteryA dashcam is equipped with a Li-ion battery or capacitor (Super capacitor). The batteries are very small and only intended to be able to turn off the dashcam if the power fails. Therefore, a dashcam must always be connected to the power supply.
