Garmin X110: practical 1080P Garmin coverage
The Garmin Dash Cam X110 is the simpler entry point in the new Garmin lineup. It is the better fit for daily commuters, first-time dash cam buyers, family vehicles, and drivers who want familiar Garmin coverage without moving up to 4K UHD.

What both Garmin dash cams have in common
Compact front-only design
Both models are compact front-facing Garmin cameras. They are not full front-and-rear systems, so shoppers who want rear coverage should compare broader dash cam options.
Shared Garmin features
Both include a 140-degree field of view, built-in Garmin Clarity polarizer, GPS/Galileo, voice control, Garmin Drive app support, incident detection, loop recording, and 512GB microSD support.
Parking feature caveat
Parking Guard and Live View are optional connected features. They require the right setup, including Garmin Drive app support, Wi-Fi, a Vault subscription where required, and constant power.
Important buying notes before you choose
- Memory card: both models require a microSD card, and a memory card is not included. Shop memory cards before installation.
- Power source: both models use a rechargeable lithium-ion backup battery, not a supercapacitor.
- Parking features: Parking Guard and Live View are not out-of-the-box 24/7 parking protection.
- Accessories: connected parking features may require constant power through the right hardwiring kit or power cable.
- Parking-mode-first setups: if parking protection is the priority, compare battery packs and broader front-and-rear dash cam options.
