Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. unveiled the BC 50 and BC 50 with Night Vision wireless backup cameras.
The cameras help drivers see the environment behind their vehicles and reverse with confidence, Garmin said.
The BC 50 with Night Vision offers Garmin’s proprietary NightGlo technology, illuminating up to 20 feet behind a vehicle for visibility at night or in dark settings.
The BC 50 Series is compatible with many Garmin GPS navigation devices.
“Garmin is in the business of building confidence behind the wheel, and this is especially critical when customers need to shift into reverse,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “The night vision is an overall game-changer for drivers whose vehicles or trailers lack reverse lights or the ability to see behind the vehicle.”
The BC 50 backup cameras offer HD resolution, a 160-degree field of view, a long wireless range and a compact, IP67 weather-resistant housing designed to withstand snow, rain and road conditions.
Customers can purchase an optional 50-foot extension cable to expand the wireless transmission range up to 100 feet.
Several Garmin navigators are compatible with the BC 50 series including the Tread all-terrain series for recreational off-roading or Overlanding.
Both models include a license plate mount and mounting hardware, and the Night Vision model adds a bracket mount for more mounting options.
