Dash cam with driver alerts

November 2015 Transport (Industry), Surveillance

Garmin Southern Africa has announced the new Dash Cam 30 and Dash Cam 35, high-definition standalone driving recorders which easily mount to a windshield and record footage in a continuous loop. The Garmin dash cam starts recording when the vehicle is turned on and stops when it is turned off, serving as a driver’s eyewitness on the road. With the ‘Incident Detection’ (G-sensor) feature, video footage will automatically save should an impact occur. Additionally new driver alerts offer helpful alerts that encourage safer driving behaviour for customers while the dash cam records the drive ahead.

“Vehicle owners who use a dash cam can have peace of mind as they travel along roads should they encounter an accident,” says Matthys Thompson, Garmin Southern Africa’s automotive category manager. “The Garmin dash cams provide footage of incidents that occur, so whether a driver is involved in an accident or a crime of intimidation, the incident will be filmed and recorded as proof. With new driver alerts to the Garmin dash cam, we can proudly promote safer driving behaviour.”

Driver alerts are available only on the Dash Cam 35 model. These features include Forward Collision Warnings, which alerts users when they are driving too closely to the vehicle ahead of them. Plus with safety camera warning alerts, drivers have the advantage of knowing where red light or safety camera zones are located.

Garmin dash cam models are available with and without GPS. The GPS-enabled Dash Cam 35 allows the camera to label footage with date, time, latitude, longitude and speed so that drivers know exactly when and where events take place. The date and time may be manually set on Dash Cam 30.

Dash Cam 30 has a compact 1.4-inch LCD display and Dash Cam 35 offers a larger 3.0-inch LCD display. Both Dash Cam 30 and 35 have excellent fields of view and capture video in 1080p or 720p.

Video footage is stored on the replaceable microSD memory card, which is included with purchase of the Garmin dash cam. Both Dash Cam 30 and 35 accept microSD cards (Class 4 required) of up to 64 GB.
