Garmin dēzl DualView: What It Is, What It Records, and Why Truckers Care in 2026

Okay now… this is one of those tools built for the man behind the wheel — better visibility, cleaner backing, and hard video evidence when something goes wrong.

Garmin just announced the dēzl DualView camera system — a dual-camera setup designed to give truck drivers a live view down both sides of the truck to help reduce blind spots and improve awareness around the vehicle.

What is the Garmin dēzl DualView?

The dēzl DualView is a rugged, external camera system made for trucks. It uses two camera modules (one for each side) and is designed to provide live video views down the full length of both sides of the truck.

Garmin says it ships as a full kit that includes:

  • Two camera modules
  • A transmitter box
  • Mounting hardware

Where do you see the camera views?

Garmin says the live camera views can be displayed in-cab when paired with supported devices, including compatible Garmin dēzl OTR navigators.

For example, when paired with the Garmin dēzl OTR720, drivers can view live side camera feeds directly on the navigation screen. Garmin also notes that voice commands can be used to switch camera views when connected to supported dēzl OTR devices.

Camera footage can also be accessed through the Garmin Drive mobile app when properly paired.

Does it record video?

Yes.

Garmin says the system can automatically capture and save 1080 HD video clips of incidents to a microSD card (memory card required and not included).

Garmin also states that when connected to a dēzl OTR navigator, saved videos can include overlays showing:

  • Location
  • Speed
  • Date
  • Incident time

What is “Vault,” and do you need it?

Garmin describes Vault as an option that allows you to view and share saved videos through the Garmin Drive mobile app with an active Wi-Fi connection.

Garmin notes that without a Vault plan, video clips can still be stored on a microSD card.

Does it have driver alerts for blind spots?

Yes. Industry coverage and Garmin’s announcement describe driver awareness features that provide visual alerts when traffic moves into the truck’s blind spots and for merging vehicles.

How does it mount, and how tough is it?

Garmin states the cameras are designed for a clean installation and can be mounted to the side mirrors or another flat surface on the truck.

Garmin also says the cameras are IPX7-rated and are designed to handle real working conditions — including sunlight, rain, fuels, chemicals, and pressure washing.

When is it available, and what does it cost?

Garmin’s announcement states the dēzl DualView will be available to purchase on Garmin’s website on January 8, 2026 with a suggested retail price of $999.99.

Bottom line

Let me show you the simple takeaway:

If you want better blind-spot visibility on both sides of the truck — plus automatic 1080 HD incident recording — the Garmin dēzl DualView is built to do exactly that. It’s a driver-focused visibility tool that also creates clear documentation when incidents happen.
