About Garmin BC 40, Wireless Backup Camera, Works with Compatible Garmin Navigators
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
64% highlighted the field of view, but 36% didn't find it exceptional
I faced an issue with the Field of View of the vehicle-backup-camera as BC 40 told me that vertical video was not supported.
70% were impressed by the installation process
I used a Phillips screwdriver to remove the license plate, placed the included bracket over the plate, put the screws back in, installed the batteries, snapped the camera into the bracket, and completed the installation.
The installation process was effortless.
The camera was easy to install, taking only 10 minutes to screw it to the license plate, and it immediately paired with the GPS.
65% found the dynamic guidelines helpful, but 35% didn't
I found it easy to adjust the dynamic guidelines of the vehicle backup camera. I did it in less than 10 minutes and even adjusted it for my long bed truck in 2-3 minutes.
The camera provides 3 lines to gauge distance - green, yellow, and red for when I am in the danger zone. I find it useful for my purpose.
The dynamic guidelines of my vehicle-backup-camera are static and don't wrap around with the radius of movement like a car's OEM backup camera, but they work well.
66% found it resistant to weather conditions
I have had the camera on my car for over a year and the batteries have withstood a cool Wisconsin winter. Recently, I got a notification to replace the batteries, although the camera is still working. Therefore, I can say that the camera is weather-resistant.
