According to our dash cam expert
The Garmin Dash Cam 55 is a compact dash cam, recording in QHD with 60 frames per second. Your voice controls the dash cam, which means you can keep both hands on the wheel. View the images on a 2-inch LCD screen or on your smartphone via the VIRB app. Thanks to the 106-degree viewing angle, the dash cam records the entire lane for you. The integrated microphone records the audio in your car. This gives you evidence in case of a break-in, or you can replay your reactions to recorded situations. You're alerted if traffic in front of you comes to a stop or when it starts moving again. The dash cam hangs from the rearview mirror using the magnetic mount included.

Extremely small dash cam. Excellent finish. Excellent image quality, nice viewing angle, compact size, WiFi connection is sometimes useful but does not work in real time and you have to activate the function on the dashcam itself. Function seems nice, but it doesn't really matter.
Lane, distance and drive away functions also seem nice, but quickly start to get annoying. When the sun is low across the tree-lined road, the stripes provide constant lane change warnings. Beeping every 10 seconds between Breda and Gorinchem, then you stop at a gas station and turn off the function to never turn it on again. It's always better to take care of yourself...
Distance warning is insufficiently adjustable in terms of sensitivity, or I am a notary tailgater, so I quickly turned that off. Also useless on paper and in practice.
What remains, after a few days of adjustment, is a standard dashcam. That's fine, but then the attachment with permanent magnetic adhesive strip instead of removable suction cup? That is inconvenient again. And only 1 extra sticker in the box? cumbersome.
Extra functions do not offer long-term added value, image and format are fine, but don't stare at it blindly.
No suction cup placement is then the deal breaker if all the 'tricks' prove useless. Not recommended. Sorry.

Very small, good image quality, many options (strobes, collision warning, lane departure warning, etc.). In addition, good and solid attachable to the stock with a magnet that is stuck on the windscreen. This is sturdier and more stable than a suction cup. Comes with two magnets in the package.
