Garmin Dash Cam X310: What to Know
The Garmin Dash Cam X310 is a single-channel, front-facing camera that records 4K Ultra HD video across a 140-degree field of view, with Garmin's Clarity polarizer built into the lens to cut windshield glare and Clarity HDR optics for exposure balance in bright or low-light scenes. It's compact and mounts with a low-profile magnetic windshield mount, and it's the only cam in this roundup with a real 2.4-inch touchscreen for reviewing and managing clips directly on the device, plus voice control for hands-free saving.
Out of the box, the X310 is front-only. Garmin sells companion cameras that pair with it to add side or rear coverage, so this isn't a true dual-channel system unless you buy an add-on camera separately, something worth knowing if the listing photography makes it look like a two-camera kit. Storage is via microSD card, supported up to 512GB (Class 10 or faster, minimum 8GB), and no card is included in the box, so plan on buying one.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and GPS, and clips can sync to the Garmin Drive smartphone app. Garmin also offers an optional paid Vault cloud-backup subscription that automatically uploads saved clips over Wi-Fi for remote access, layered on top of (not required for) the camera's core local recording. The built-in battery is rated for roughly 20 minutes of standalone runtime, enough to safely finish and save a clip after a power interruption, but not enough for real parking-mode surveillance; for that, Garmin sells a separate Constant Power Cable that wires into the vehicle's OBD port or fuse box. The base kit in the box includes the camera, magnetic mount, vehicle power cable, and a dual-USB power adapter.
