Garmin® Dash Cam™ 65W arrives with a 180-degree field of view

Business Wire
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
today announced the Dash Cam 65W, its newest dash cam model capable
of capturing an exceptional 180-wide-angle field of view to expand
the scope of its high-quality 1080p video recording capability. The
increased field of view allows drivers to capture even more details
from the vehicle’s surroundings such as traffic congestions, road
construction and more. The Dash Cam 65W’s wide angle ultimately
enhances the way video is captured, shared and viewed. Sleek and
compact, the Dash Cam 65W boasts a number of established features
found across the Garmin Dash Cam series, including voice control,
advanced driver awareness features like red light and speed camera
alerts1, and forward collision and lane departure warnings2 to
encourage safer driving. A camera-assisted sensor known as the “Go”
alert is also built into the Dash Cam 65W to notify drivers when
traffic ahead of their vehicle begins to move.
“The new 180-degree field-of-view allows the Dash Cam 65W to
capture moments – like cross traffic details – that can often be
missed with other dash cams,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice
president of global consumer sales. “Coupled with the ability to
help increase a driver’s sense of awareness while recording
high-quality footage on the road, it makes great sense for a
customer to integrate the Dash Cam 65W into their daily drive.”
As soon as the Dash Cam 65W is plugged in, the device
automatically begins to record high quality eyewitness video
footage in 1080p, or 720p with a 2.0-inch LCD display screen and a
2.1 megapixel camera. The automatic incident detection (G-sensor)
allows the Dash Cam 65W to save footage on impact, while also
adding GPS capabilities for detailed time and location data. The
dash cam also offers a parking mode option (cable sold separately)
that feeds constant power to the device when the vehicle is parked
and turned off, and automatically begins recording surroundings
when motion is detected.
The inclusion of voice control enables drivers to speak out
commands to the new dash cam to start and stop audio recordings,
take still pictures, and save videos. Customers can even speak out
commands such as, “OK Garmin, start Travelapse™,” — a video capture
feature that compresses hours of video footage into minutes of
highlights. When drivers download the free VIRB® mobile app to a
compatible smartphone, drivers can use the Dash Cam 65W’s built-in
Wi-Fi® to wirelessly sync their recorded videos and automatically
share them with friends, family or insurance agencies. For video
storage, the Dash Cam 65W includes a 8GB microSD™ card and can
accept replaceable memory cards (Class 10 required) of up to
64GB.
The Garmin Dash Cam 65W is expected to be available in June with
a suggested retail price of $249.99. For more information, visit
