The Garmin Dash Cam X310 is a compact, front-mounting dash camera designed to capture your drives in stunning detail. It records in crystal-clear 4K resolution at up to 120 frames per second, offering a wide 140-degree field of view to ensure comprehensive coverage. With built-in Wi-Fi, voice control, and app-controlled functionality, managing your footage is effortless, and you can securely store videos online with Vault compatibility. The X310 supports up to a 512 GB microSD card (not included) and comes with a low-profile magnetic mount, vehicle power cable, and dual-USB power adapter for easy installation and use.
Prioritize capacitor-based models over battery-based ones for better heat resistance. Resolution and nighttime sensor quality dictate if you can actually read license plates in an accident. Available from $399.99.
Dash cams have no home energy costs and rely on the vehicle. The primary ongoing expense is replacing high-endurance microSD cards, which fail over time from continuous loop recording.
