Parking Guard / Parking Mode Definitions

Parking Guard monitors activity around your parked vehicle and automatically alerts you with video clip notifications to the Garmin Drive™ app on your compatible smartphone if an incident is detected. This feature requires an active Wi-Fi connection and a Constant Power Source.

Parking Mode monitors your car’s surroundings while your car is parked and the engine is not running. It automatically begins recording if and when motion is detected. This feature requires the Garmin Parking Mode Cable or USB-C Garmin Parking Mode Cable, which is sold separately.
