    I've been wanting a dash cam for a while. Are any of the cams from Loves worth purchasing? The Loves I frequent have Garmin, Cobra and Mobile Spec cams. Any input from you guys? Don't wanna waste my points if they aren't worth having.

    Another 1 for garmin, probably the most expensive but still working strong after a year, save my ### once so already paid itself. I got a 32gb card I think and it record around 2 days I believe.

    Thanks.

    I've never owned or even been around a dash cam. Know nothing about them.

    How do they work, say if I have an event I want to save? Some kind of way to save the last few mins it recorded?

    It has a g sensor that go off if it gets shaken hard or aka an accident it will go off. If not, there's a button u push to save the footage so it won't get overwritten. Then either take out the SD card or plug into a computer to see the video, there's also a payback screen on the dashcam but easier if u hook it up

    Thanks for the replies and info guys. I've been wanting a dashcam for a while. This morning I had a four wheeler that came over on me and nearly got into my passenger side front fender. I had enough points so I stopped by Loves and grabbed a Garmin cam. I havn't used it yet.

    I've had the Garmin C 10 since December, I've filmed a tire coming off a pickup and rolling safely down the median between 2 jersey walls.
    And today I pull into a tight Pilot, I saved the 4 minute video just in case, a truck tries to park in a spot, gives up and I EASILY back into it, but the truck on
    My right has damage on the fender, it could be fresh IDK, but the video shows the damage as I set up, and then my awesome backing job.
