I received a Garmin X210 Dashcam as a gift. If I were to have bought this on my own, I would have selected the X310 for the touchscreen and better resolution. However, before going through all the motions of wiring up power (since I don't want to use a cigarette lighter), I started reading reviews and see most of them were poor in regards to that a) you need the app for most features and b) the clips are chunked in 1 minutes intervals. I have the original Garmin Dashcam 20 and they were chunked in 4 min intervals but of course the max resolution was 1080 on that model. The highest rated Dashcam currently appears to be the Viofo models but they are way too big for me.
So with that said, anyone one here have the X series and has it been decent enough or just an annoying experience? I do not want to use an app as I don't need to know if the car was bumped when parked etc. The dashcam will be pulled when the car is not in use since it is parked in a attended lot. I just want to pull the SD card as needed as I can then dump the files into a non-linear editor to stitch together.
