The Garmin Dash Cam X310 combines 4K video with Garmin's best-in-class software ecosystem. Incident detection, cloud backup, and the polished Garmin Drive app make it the smartest single-channel dash cam available — but at $400 for front-only, you're paying a premium for the Garmin experience.

- Compact, discreet design that hides behind the rearview mirror
- Excellent build quality backed by Garmin's reliability reputation
- Voice control and GPS with speed/location overlay on footage
Limitations
- Single-channel only at $400 — no rear camera included
