Our best dash cam guide might need an update in the near future – Garmin has released four new models to give you even more options when it comes to choosing a camera that records everything that happens to you and your vehicle.
Leading the new camera quartet is the Garmin Dash Cam X310, which offers a 2.4-inch LCD screen, 4K Ultra HD video quality, built-in GPS and advanced driver awareness alerts, which warn you about nearby speed cameras, for example, or tell you when there's a risk of a head-on collision.
For a little less money you can get the Dash Cam X110 or the Dash Cam X210: they are the same as the Dash Cam X310 model, but the video quality at maximum resolution only goes up to 1080p or 1440p respectively.
The final dash cam in the new series is the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3. This camera does away with the screen in favor of a smaller form factor (about the size of a car key), which is easier to position and less distracting while driving. This model offers 1080p video recording.
Voice command support
One of the smart features Garmin has included here is voice command support, which means you can control various camera functions (such as starting and stopping video recording) without taking your eyes off the road.
There's also what Garmin calls a Clarity polarizing lens enhancement, which apparently reduces interference from windshield glare, giving you the best chance of capturing the evidence you need in the event of an accident or criminal mischief.
For even more features, you can install the Garmin Drive app on your smartphone – this allows you to sync streams from up to four Garmin dash cams, if you've really spent a lot of money on surveillance technology for your vehicle.
You can pick up all four models now from Garmin's website: the price is $149.99/£149.99 for the Dash Cam Mini 3, $199.99/£199.99 for the X110, $299.99/£259.99 for the X210, and $399.99/£349.99 for the X310.
