Premium, voice-controlled dash cameras offer up to 4K Ultra HD video quality and an all-new polarizer lens for outstanding clarity day and night

OLATHE, Kan., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today unveiled the Garmin Dash Cam™ X series of high-quality dash cameras that provide motorists with a discreet eyewitness anywhere they drive1. There are four models – the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3, X110, X210 and ultra-sharp X310 – that go virtually unnoticed thanks to their compact size, yet still deliver crisp video resolution up to 4K Ultra HD to provide proof of any unexpected road incidents.

To help see important details more clearly, the Dash Cam X series introduces an integrated Garmin Clarity™ polarizer lens enhancement, which reduces windshield glare. Plus, Garmin Clarity HDR optics enable the camera to capture sharp detail in very bright or low light, making the Dash Cam series an invaluable tool to any driver no matter the time of day.

“When you have a dash cam, you want to be confident it will capture all the necessary details and not worry about having parts of your video washed out due to weather conditions or distracting windshield glare. These cameras bring the clarity you need.” –Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales

Behind-the-wheel convenience

No matter the amount of time drivers spend on the road, they will appreciate the premium in-car features of these cameras. Through simple voice commands2, users can save video clips and start or stop audio recordings all while keeping their hands on the wheel. Drivers can also benefit from advanced driver notifications, such as forward collision and lane departure3 notifications, “go” alerts to notify drivers when stopped traffic has begun moving again and speed camera notifications4 to help encourage safer driving and to promote situational awareness. If an incident is detected, videos are automatically saved. And with built-in GPS, videos are stamped with location, speed, date and time to show exactly when and where events occurred5.

Superior video quality

The Dash Cam X series provides premium HD quality video in a variety of resolutions, allowing drivers to select the camera that best fits their needs:

The Dash Cam Mini 3 is ultracompact, car-key sized with no on-device display to achieve its remarkable tiny size in 1080p HD video with built-in Garmin Clarity polarizer lens.Step up to the Dash Cam X110 which is pocket-sized and adds more premium features, including advanced driver awareness alerts; built-in GPS and a bright 2.4″ LCD screen to immediately view video in 1080p HD.The Dash Cam X210 boasts the same compact size, high-res display, and rich feature sets as the X110 but can capture video up to 1440p HD.The top-of-the-line Dash Cam X310 has the same size and display as the X110/X210 but adds intuitive touchscreen functionality and provides 4K Ultra HD video quality for the greatest resolution available.

More premium features

When using the Garmin Drive mobile app on a user’s smartphone, drivers can sync up additional Garmin dash cams and gain more awareness with multiple viewpoints. The app automatically organizes video clips from up to four different Garmin dash cams (each sold separately).

With a paid Vault subscription, the dash cameras automatically store saved video clips in the secure, online Vault, accessible via the Garmin Drive mobile app. This makes it easy for users to view and share videos and gives them continuous storage of their important clips. Vault subscribers can also utilize vehicle surveillance features6 such as parking guard and live view to gain peace of mind when away from their parked vehicles. The parking guard alert can send a notification to a connected smartphone when the dash cam detects an incident affecting the motorist’s car, and live view allows users to get an instant live look from their dash camera when away from their parked vehicle.

January 11, 2025

Docking Drawer, the leader in in-drawer outlet solutions, is set to showcase its newly configured Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas this February 2025.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Docking Drawer’s Unwavering Dedication to Safety

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality.”

When it comes to safety, no one in the industry matches the focus and innovation of Docking Drawer. Their Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages bring a unique, forward-thinking solution to an often-overlooked area in kitchen design. These safety outlets automatically de-energize an appliance garage power source when the cabinet door is closed, ensuring that appliances are safely powered off when contained inside the cabinet.

Docking Drawer is also the only company dedicated to creating in-cabinet electrical solutions that meet the strict code requirements of the Canadian marketplace. Their Safety Interlock Outlets are designed to make in-cabinet electricity compliant in Canada while offering consumers in all regions an additional layer of safety for in-cabinet power.

Advanced Limit Switch Technology

Docking Drawer’s Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages utilize an advanced Limit Switch system, designed to work seamlessly with power outlets concealed by a cabinet door. This intuitive feature detects when the cabinet door is closed, instantly cutting power to the connected outlet and all powered appliances.

Now Compatible with Any Appliance Garage Door

An updated Limit Switch feature now offers different switch options to accommodate all appliance garage door types, including traditional cabinet doors, pocket door setups, and more. The newly designed Limit Switch now offers two functions to choose from:

Power Off When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is ideal for traditional cabinet doors, where closing the door depresses the switch to cut power safely.Power On When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is perfect for pocket doors, where the door being pushed back upon opening activates the switch, turning the power on.

Customizable Connectivity

The flexibility of Docking Drawer’s solutions also allows for connecting multiple limit switches to a single safety outlet or vice versa, offering customization options to adapt to the unique demands of any project.

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality,” states Scott Dickey, founder of Docking Drawer. “Our Safety Interlock Outlets represent the culmination of our dedication to innovation and empowering homeowners and professionals with safer, more organized spaces—even beyond the kitchen and bathroom.”

Join Us at KBIS 2025

Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the future of kitchen safety. Visit Docking Drawer at KBIS 2025 in Las Vegas this February to see firsthand how their Safety Interlock Outlets are revolutionizing appliance garage safety.

Importantly, the outcomes of the Ministerial Roundtable are not confined to the event itself but form an ongoing, year-round program. Regional Coordination Groups will continue to drive the implementation of key initiatives.

“FMF is emerging as the largest global hub for minerals collaboration and action – no other platform brings together government ministers and senior industry leaders at this scale.” Al-Mudaifer concluded.
