New Dash Cam 45 and 55 feature driver awareness
alerts and more
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
today announced the compact Dash Cam 45 and Dash Cam 55 – new
standalone driving recorders with a uniquely small and unobtrusive
hardware design and new advanced driver awareness alerts. The
Garmin Dash Cam 45 and 55 offer high-quality eyewitness recording
with automatic incident detection (G-sensor) to save footage on
impact, while also adding GPS capabilities for detailed time and
location data. Advanced driver alerts such as forward collision and
lane departure warnings1 are integrated in both new dash cam models
to help prevent drivers from either driving too close to the
vehicle ahead or drifting off-road. Now with the inclusion of new
voice controls2, drivers can start and stop audio recordings and
more through voice commands to help keep their hands on the wheel
and focused on the drive.

“The rise of dash cams has allowed us to align our new models
with the needs of our customer base,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice
president of global consumer sales. “With the Dash Cam 45 and 55,
customers can do more than just record a drive. Now they can take
advantage of advanced driver alerts through a discreet dash camera
that seamlessly blends into a vehicle without obstructing a
driver’s line of sight.”
The Dash Cam 55 provides high quality video captured in 1440p,
1080p, or 720p with a 3.7 megapixel camera while the Dash Cam 45
captures 1080p or 720p with a 2.1 megapixel camera. Both models
project excellent fields of view with a 2.0-inch LCD display
screen. The addition of Sensory TrulyHandsfree™ voice control2
allows users to speak straightforward commands to the dash cam,
such as “OK Garmin, save video,” and “OK Garmin, take a picture,”
or even “OK Garmin, start Travelapse™,” to activate the video
capture feature that compresses hours of driving footage into
minutes of highlights.
Helping drivers stay alert while on the road is one of the main
staples of the new Garmin Dash Cam™ offerings. In addition to
forward collision and lane departure warnings1 that can help
drivers avoid incidents, the new dash cams also provide red light
and speed camera warnings.3 What’s more, the models are outfitted
for the very first time with the useful “Go” alert – a helpful
camera-assisted feature that notifies distracted drivers when
traffic ahead of their vehicle begins to move. For monitoring
purposes, the new parking mode option (cable sold separately)
allows the Dash Cam 45 and 55 to automatically start recording a
parked vehicle’s surroundings if motion is detected while the
engine is turned off.
Ease-of-use plays a major role for drivers with dash cams, due
to the extensive amount of information a driver can experience on
and off the road with advancements in technology and
ever-increasing road distractions. As soon as the Dash Cam 45 and
55 are plugged in, they automatically start recording video without
the need for time-consuming setups to start and stop video. With
the introduction of built-in Wi-Fi®, drivers can now wirelessly
sync their videos to the free VIRB® mobile app downloaded to a
compatible smartphone to effortlessly share recordings with friends
or even insurance agencies. In cases where close-up photography is
needed, the snapshot feature allows drivers to easily remove the
dash cam from its mount to snap photos of vehicles or property
damage.
For video storage, the new Garmin Dash Cams include their own
replaceable microSD™ card and can accept memory cards (Class 10
required) of up to 64GB.
The Garmin Dash Cam 45 has a suggested retail price of $149.99
and the Garmin Dash Cam 55 has a suggested retail price of $199.99.
Both cameras are expected to be available in April 2017. For more
