Garmin International recently released a wireless backup camera, the BC 40. The weatherproof BC 40 wirelessly pairs with a compatible Wi-Fi-enabled Garmin GPS navigator and allows drivers to see a wide, clear view from the backup camera on the navigation display. The battery-powered BC 40 also includes its own license plate mounting bracket so users can snap the camera to the back of a vehicle, no drilling or wiring required.
“Thanks to the BC 40, drivers finally have a quick and easy way to seamlessly blend a wireless backup camera to the back of a vehicle without having to rely on professional installation services,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin worldwide VP of consumer sales. “After a simple setup, drivers will have immediate access to a rugged camera that withstands harsh road conditions, while also offering a crystal-clear backup view.”
Drivers can use a specific button from the navigation display to control the BC 40, or talk to the navigator through voice controls to activate the camera view. The new BC 40 is powered by two AA batteries and with average use, its expected battery life is up to three months.
