Just like several Tesla vehicles, the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 also has Parking Guard, which monitors activity around your parked vehicle and alerts if an incident is detected.

I got this just to have in the case of an accident that was disputed. I don’t need a screen on the dashcam as I will only be looking at it after an incident. This fits the bill perfectly. It is so small it almost disappears on the windshield. Connecting to it with my cell phone can be a bit cumbersome, but I do not expect to do it often. But, if I DO need footage from it, I can either grab it with my phone and send a link to my computer OR I can just pop the chip out and download the footage,” said one reviewer.
