i should have seen this earlier.I bought 67w thinking about more view range but the quality of the video is really shit ,not even capable to see a number plate when you cross a car.Has to be right in front of you....really disappointed... edit: Just bought a second hand 57,i am thinking about to use the 67w in the back and the 57 in the front.
I am using the 57 for my front cam and I bought the mini and using that for the rear. So far everything is working well and I like the video resolution. With the Garmin app I like that it will show you both camera views. I have had them up and running for about 6 months now.
Wow! Perhaps the most enlightening comparative testing I’ve seen! I was debating between the 67 and the 57, and this video helped me choose the 57, so thank you!
yes, the image quality, more precisely the detailing, for example, of car numbers, is really better in 57. But you do not take into account such a factor as the angle - look at the difference 00:47
Provided a better review than some 'fancy' RUclipsrs and never said a word! For my needs, I believe the 57 is the best choice. Which is what I purchased. I like the idea that I can add another camera for the rear of the vehicle at a later date without having to repurchase the entire system.
I agree this is a good review. This video convinced me to purchase the 57 as the front camera and switch the Garmin mini 2 to the rear which is being working for me almost 2 years no problem, With decent video except capturing license plate in motion
One of the best video comparisons I have ever seen on RUclips. You did not say a single word but explained a plethora of things. It really helped me. Thank you! Great job!
Thank you so much for the video quality comparisons in the daytime and nighttime of the three newest Garmin Dash Cams. This really helps since I'm doing much more driving for work and am looking at these specific models to buy for the front and back of my vehicle.
THIS was an AWESOME video & helped me decide on the 57 over the 67 based on the footage you provided. I had the 67 in my shopping cart & this video instantly changed my mind - for my specific purpose the 57 has the best image. The 57 is being delivered tomorrow along with an OBD to USB female charger adapter, the suction cup mount & a San Disc 256GB Extreme micro disc. Thanks for doing this video !!! 🙂
Based on this video I choose Garmin 57 bought with the polarizing filter and I am very satisfied with the choice made.I also wanted to buy permanent power cord for OBD II and Garmin offered it to me for free.Pleasant surprise from Garmin.
Thank you for this! I already bought the 67w and thought I got a bad unit due to the video quality, but it looks like yours is the same. Gonna return it and get the 57 instead.
i did not realize the wide angle lens on the 67 would make it so much worse than the 57. the 57 does seem to have a brighter image meaning it could potentially bloom making the video hard to see here in florida during the day time. I might buy both and return the worst one after testing for my area
Absolutely perfect comparison. No unboxing, talking, or personal opinions, just suck-it-and-see no-nonsense proof. You almost needed the video download @ 2:10 for another purpose. Cock in a pick-up immortalised on RUclips 😆
The 67w might be worth it if it had a higher resolution, but it doesn't, so the wideview ends up reducing details & picture quality. It looks like 57 wins of you actually want to capture license plates.
I bought the 47 because Love's doesn't carry any other. It'll do the job to prove a scenario and as an addition if I buy another garmin dashcam ti pair it in the rear and new in front.
@@JohnnyAppleseedGPSStKilda Thank you, the mini would work as well I'm guessing? I'll probably go with the cheapest available Garmin then for a rear/interior combination since it's for a pickup truck and the rear window is so close.
It would eat into the battery, yeah. I would only use it sparingly (busy car park, or parking on a street.) I usually park at home in a driveway, so it depends where you live but I can see it slowly chipping away at the battery. You'd want to keep a close eye on the health of it so you don't get any surprises when you're in a rush.
@@Ye-yz7cx Also depends on the weather and temperature as I just found out. I have the 57 and have always had the parking mode enabled. This was going well up until winter came around and the coldest of nights would come. Next morning I would find that my battery is dead! Battery is in good health or so I believe but after disconnecting the dash cam before I go to bed and wake up, car starts without hesitation. Weird thing to consider but at least for my cars, it doesn't discharge the battery to the point that it won't start in normal temps.
@@algebruh_m8652 well I leave in australia so we always get high temperature average 36 degrees/ 94 Fahrenheit, so it’s just for cold weather that will drain ur battery?
How does a person get the video from the dash cam? Do you have to take out the sd card and download the video onto your laptop or can you easily access the video from your phone without ever removing the sd card from the camera?
@@tsfmnlb I have the 67W. I used the Drive app to export videos directly to phone. The only videos that I couldn't export were Travelapse videos, I had to take out the MicroSD card for it. Also, the first 24 hours of Vault are free, only the extra days of storage cost.
I didn't buy my 67W from you, but I am very disappointed with the video quality. There have been a number of happenings out on the road that needed reporting to the Police, but number plates cannot be read. They are just a pixellated mess in bright daytime conditions. The camera is set to 1440p, but the image is so compressed the footage would be useless as evidence. A good defence lawyer would be all over it like a rash! I definitely wouldn't recommend the 67W. Interestingly in your video, the 57 looks a lot better in terms of image quality.
Shooting in 60fps on the 67W lowers the resolution to 1080p. 1080p coupled with the wide-angle lens for the 67w is a significant decrease to image fidelity.
57 for the front, mini2 fir the rear, both powered off the garmin OBD port. Shame the download speeds using Drive app are so damn slow, and app connectivity a bit flaky.
Thank God someone is doing amazing dashcam video comparisons like this
Thanks for focusing on license plate view quality! That’s the true test.
I guess there is nothing to do at night, but agree, great decision to include this
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Splicing the videos together and all takes a bunch of time. It’s hugely appreciated.
Excellent video, thank you for making this, I was going to get the 67 but after watching your video I bought the 57.
How do you like it! :)
Yeah I think I like the 57 as well better.

Excellent. Garmin 57 is the winner.
Agreed
That's where I'm leaning too.
Yup, clearly!
Thanks for this!
Yea the 67W view angle gives it a fishbowl effect. 57 is way better!!!!

I just bought the Garmin 57W after some research and this video. Thanks.
Exactly the review video i was looking for, thank you very much! The 57 is the clear winner.

Thanks Gabriel!
57 winner for sure
Totally agree 👍🏻 , 1440 is a nice def and 140 FOV is plenty
Great video! You saved me from wasting 200.00 with purchasing the 47. The 57 is the best out of the three.
Awesome video comparison. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Johannesburg South Africa.

Hi, I know its a year late but are you still liking the 57? also, the odb cable goes towards the top or bottom on the dash cam? Thanks!
Based on this video I choose Garmin 57 bought with the polarizing filter and I am very satisfied with the choice made.I also wanted to buy permanent power cord for OBD II and Garmin offered it to me for free.Pleasant surprise from Garmin.
Why the 57 over the 67? Just wondering
@@brettking2 Because the 140 degree the footage quality îs better. Because 67w has 180 degree the polarizing filter doesnt work.
how did u get it for free? It's $50 on their website
@@nathancheung358 Yes, but they offered to me for free. As I said it was a very nice surprise for me.
Does the filter degrade the night clarity?
Great Review! This helped me in my decision a LOT! Going with the 57.
Great job!
One of the best demonstration, no comments but it's all clear!
Thanks!
Fantastic work thank you so much for taking the time to create this video! It was really helpful 😃
Thank you for this! I already bought the 67w and thought I got a bad unit due to the video quality, but it looks like yours is the same. Gonna return it and get the 57 instead.
i did not realize the wide angle lens on the 67 would make it so much worse than the 57. the 57 does seem to have a brighter image meaning it could potentially bloom making the video hard to see here in florida during the day time. I might buy both and return the worst one after testing for my area
Did you end up testing both?
@@ryanm2707 yup. Wide angle harder to see plates with. Better to get the non wide and place it higher in the windshield
@@wanted247ha8 great thanks!
Am Florida too. Had my mind made up on the 47 after seeing this video.
the 47 is perfect, thank you
Absolutely perfect comparison.
No unboxing, talking, or personal opinions, just suck-it-and-see no-nonsense proof.
You almost needed the video download @ 2:10 for another purpose. Cock in a pick-up immortalised on RUclips 😆
Excellent video
Thank you
Cant be a better video for comparison ❤
Thank you! Great video. 57 seems like the winner. You helped me make a purchase decision.
Best comparison I've seen thanks
Great Video! Thank you so much. This video really helped me to decide which Garmin to buy. Going with the 57 over the 47 and 67.
Thank you for making this video.
Thank you so much for the review!!
At $150 the 47 it’s prob the best overall, your paying $60+ fir the 57 ($210) for a *little* better quality (not being 4K) it’s just not worth it.
The 57 is 1440p which is 78% higher resolution than 1080p.
Funny thing is i bought the 57 for the price of the 47 ($180). Now I'm forced to buy the 47 for another car as the 57 costs $200!!
Thank you for this vid, amazingly
Why is the 67w only recording @30fps instead of 60fps?
The 67w might be worth it if it had a higher resolution, but it doesn't, so the wideview ends up reducing details & picture quality.
It looks like 57 wins of you actually want to capture license plates.
thanks bro for the excellent video
Thanks for the review!
Can you turn off the screen of these cameras for example during night driving?
I think 57 and 67 are basically the same the only difference is that the 67 is 180fov which doesn’t help much for quality video.
I bought the 47 because Love's doesn't carry any other. It'll do the job to prove a scenario and as an addition if I buy another garmin dashcam ti pair it in the rear and new in front.
My dash cam 47 vibrates all the time in the magnetic mount.
the 57 looks the best to my eyes....
Thanks!
What rear/interior view cam would you pair with the 47 or 57? Thanks.
You can use auto-sync via the app and use another 47 or 57 dashcam for rear or interior recording.
@@JohnnyAppleseedGPSStKilda Thank you, the mini would work as well I'm guessing? I'll probably go with the cheapest available Garmin then for a rear/interior combination since it's for a pickup truck and the rear window is so close.
@@tsfmnlb Yes the DashCam Mini would be a great option as well
57 hands down winner, how could they mess up the 67w so badly..
Why does no one record in 1440p @ 60fps with the 57 and 67w?
What's the bitrate of the 67W? the quality is pretty bad, in fact all 3 cams are bad.
WOW those all look compressed to hell
thanks!
The problem with 67W is its too wide angle camera, it worsens the legibility of the license plates.
I got the 47 for free, still does it’s job either way
Is there a difference in video quality between the 56 and 57 models??
How does the parking mode work? I heard it strains ur car battery’s over time
It would eat into the battery, yeah. I would only use it sparingly (busy car park, or parking on a street.) I usually park at home in a driveway, so it depends where you live but I can see it slowly chipping away at the battery. You'd want to keep a close eye on the health of it so you don't get any surprises when you're in a rush.
@@P5YCHO1192 I haven’t use it yet cause it’s saying I need an attachment or some sort so I’m gonna buy that next
might be ok for those with a deep cycle secondary battery
@@Ye-yz7cx Also depends on the weather and temperature as I just found out. I have the 57 and have always had the parking mode enabled.

Hi Reagan,
You can export to your phone via the smartphone app and Garmin Vault. You can also just transfer via the SD card via your computer.
@@JohnnyAppleseedGPSStKilda can you export with the app direct to your phone and not use the vault (since it's extra $$)?
@@tsfmnlb I have the 67W. I used the Drive app to export videos directly to phone. The only videos that I couldn't export were Travelapse videos, I had to take out the MicroSD card for it.

Interestingly in your video, the 57 looks a lot better in terms of image quality.
Why did you use the Dash Cam 67 in 30fps mode instead of 60?
Shooting in 60fps on the 67W lowers the resolution to 1080p. 1080p coupled with the wide-angle lens for the 67w is a significant decrease to image fidelity.
@@JohnnyAppleseedGPSStKilda however when you come to freeze a frame of fast moving traffic fps trumps resolution every time.
Best🎉
Why only 30 fps and not 60?
Any of these shoot 60fps?
Sooo has anyone in Minnesota bought these can they live threw our summers and winters?
57 for the front, mini2 fir the rear, both powered off the garmin OBD port. Shame the download speeds using Drive app are so damn slow, and app connectivity a bit flaky.
is the layout of min 1:08 (2 videos above and 1 below) available having 3 cameras connected?
Hi Rafass, the layout I used there is not but you can see two cameras at once via the app and as long as they have been paired via auto-sync.
@@JohnnyAppleseedGPSStKilda thank you 🙌
Can it plug into a cigarette lighter?
Yep
So weird to see left side driving.
Would have been a much better video if you had cleaned your windshield.
All of them junk with such poor image clarity, the dash cam market is such a farce!
