Shame on you Garmin
TLDR, Camera doesn't operate as description, no live feed, can't view clips on phone, app doesn't work most of the time. Basically a useless camera that overheats to a dangerous level.
Details: This camera is not ready for release, Garmin knows about all of these issues, and "they're working on fixing them!". if you want to view live feed, you will need to uninstall the app and reinstall it every time! It records fine, but you will not be able to see the recordings on your phone because the app will not connect (except for the first time right after installing the app, after that, you can take a pic. save a pic, and it records- I guess- but no live feed or videos review, it just hangs). I updated the firmware to the latest version, but issues persist. Not to mention the extreme overheating within 5 minutes of operation. How Garmin allowed the release of such defective product is baffling to say the least; it really hurts their brand and reputation.
For reference if anyone at Garmin cares, Phone: Note 8. OS: Android 9 Pie. Camera: Garmin Dash Cam Mini. Camera's firmware after the update: 7.10. SD card: Samsung 64GB PRO Endurance .
