Anyone have a Garmin Dash Cam 45?

Not sure. I have the Garmin 35. Used it for about a year and fortunately never needed it for anything important. I tried pushing the save button a few times and every time I went to look at the video, it only saved what happened "after" I pushed the button, which does absolutely no good at all. Guess I should have read the instructions a little better. That's what I get for using my points to get a truck stop dash cam.

 

Seems like i tried a cell phone app that did the same thing. Saved forward. And i think it only saved the loop which i could set the time duration.

Been a few years since i used it.

 

It saves 3 minutes. 1.5 minutes before and after you hold the capture button down. I run a 64gb card in mine and it saves 3 full days of video in one minute increments before it overwrites the oldest files.

 

It will record non-stop as long as you have power. If you want to save 3 minutes of video because of an incident, you press and hold the bottom button. It will save it in a folder on the device called saved videos I believe. You have to hook it up to a computer to view your saved videos or you can download them to your phone with the Garmin app.

If the camera is plugged in there is no way to stop it from recording. It records until it detects an incident or until you tell it to save 3 minutes of video. As you know, you can tap the bottom button and take a picture. This is useful if you've been in an accident and don't have another camera handy.
