TL;DR Garmin's build quality and long firmware support lifecycle make the 67W more reliable over multi-year ownership than most import alternatives at this price — but the parking mode is impact-only with no motion detection, which misses most parking-lot hit-and-runs.
Footage quality and parking mode
- Night vision: 1440p with 180° HDR delivers solid daytime detail; license plate legibility at highway following distance earns mixed community reports — the wide FOV introduces edge distortion that costs clarity at distance vs. narrower 4K competitors.
- Parking mode: Impact detection only — no motion detection; requires separately purchased constant-power cable; community rates parking protection as limited compared to buffered alternatives.
The magnetic quick-release mount is the usability standout — daily install and removal takes seconds without adhesive residue.
Who it's for
Buy if:
- You want a set-and-forget front cam from a US brand with proven multi-year firmware support
- You remove the camera at your destination frequently — the magnetic mount makes this genuinely fast
- You primarily park in garages or attended lots where hit-and-run protection is less critical
Skip it if:
- Parking-lot protection is a priority — impact-only mode with no motion detection misses most hit-and-run scenarios
- Plate legibility at highway speed in low light is the deciding factor — 4K dual-STARVIS-2 cameras outperform it here
- You need rear coverage — this is front-only
Frequently asked questions
Does the Garmin Dash Cam 67W have parking mode?▾
It has impact detection for parking mode, which records when the vehicle is bumped. However, it does not include motion detection (which would record movement near the vehicle without physical contact). Parking mode requires a separately purchased constant-power cable — the included cigarette-lighter adapter powers off when you exit the vehicle.
What is the field of view on the Garmin Dash Cam 67W?▾
The 67W uses a 180-degree wide-angle lens — one of the widest in the category. This captures more of the adjacent lanes and roadside environment than a standard 140-degree lens, though footage from the extreme edges of the 180-degree frame shows natural fisheye distortion.
Does the Garmin Dash Cam 67W include a memory card?▾
Yes — the 67W includes a 16GB microSD card in the box, which is sufficient for continuous loop recording. If you enable parking mode or want extended recording sessions, a higher-capacity card is recommended.

Very small camera works with Garmin devices
I have the Garmin Dezl 800 GPS for my truck and wanted to get the camera which is 'supposed to' work with the GPS. I guess it does for the most part. I know there is a way to connect via bluetooth or WiFi just the camera and GPS - however I have been unsuccessful.The camera is small. It does have the old style micro USB power plug. The micro SDXC card is easily installed. My camera came with a 16 gb generic card which is effectively useless. It would only store 20 minutes of video before looping back and recording over everything. I purchased a Samsung EVO Select Micro SD 512GB microSDXC MB-ME512KA/AM and use it instead. Yes a 512 GB will work just fine. Once I put the new card in the camera it asked if I wanted to format it - I hit "yes" and the card was formatted for the camera. Pretty easy. Garmin does state the camera will work with up to 512 GB SD cards. If you want to format a new Micro SD card for the camera on your computer you need to format it in FAT 32.The camera comes with a glue on windshield mount or you can purchase separately a suction cup mount. I got the suction cup. There is no lens cover so keep your fingers away from it. The menu on the camera is pretty easy to navigate - which I found amazing. The default video quality is 1440p 30 fps and sound recording on. You can password protect entering into menu so only an authorized person can go into any of the settings. Requires use of a phone.The camera does want you to use the Garmin app Drive. This connects to the camera and allows the camera to upload video to a data vault. I do not use this option. The data vault is a paid service - and I know nothing of it.The camera wanted to update itself immediately when I first connected it to my laptop - it uses another Garmin app to register itself then download the 2.80 software. There are a bunch of other language and mapping software that can be downloaded. Was actually pretty easy to do the update.Overall - I'd say the Garmin v67 camera is pretty good. Its geared more toward fleet vehicle operation. You can use it on your own if you like. Don't ever expect to view any video from the built in 2" screen because it just not possible.
