Garmin 010-12242-00 BC 30 Wireless Backup Camera for Dezl 570LMT and D/770LMT-D Truck Satellite Navigation System - Black

The camera works well. The quality of the image isn't high and has lots of 'fish-eye' distortion but it's adequate to see what is behind you which is the main purpose. The transmitter part of the camera has to be mounted inside but the connector lead is quite small - about 8mm dia so you don't need to to drill a large hole in the body work. I was concerend that being mostly surrounded by metal the signal wouldn't get through to the sat nav but it works fine. In fact I think the 10m range is on the conservative side - I successfully tested the camera in the garage with the sat nav inside at least 10m away and through several walls. I installed this at the rear of a 6m van and the wireless facility saved a lot of work bringing wires along the length of the vehicle. By linking the camera power to the reversing lights, the sat nav automatically switches to the rear camera when reverse gear is selected.

Installed into a Toyota Avensis Estate. Relatively easy install - plenty of YouTube videos to assist in how to tap into the reversing light for a camera that help. Wireless signal strength was strong enough that I do not need to use the additional antenna that plugs into the Satnav power supply (this is the one that comes supplied with the BC30). Reversing camera resolution is not high, but met my expectations and is adequate for the job. Used with a Garmin DriveLuxe 51LMT-D.

The Garmin 010-12242-00 BC30 wireless reversing camera kit works well in my little old car. Instructions are good. The lens has a wide angle so nothing is missed, but the system is limited by the poor image quality.The integration with my Garmin Nuvi 2599LMT-D Sat-nav works perfectly.. Camera is easily aimed with the wide angle lens.. The picture corresponds to what one sees in a rear-view mirror.. Transmitter seems to work equally well from anywhere in the boot.. No wires need be threaded through from the back of the car.. Receiver is part of the replacement power lead from accessory socket to sat nav.. The guide-lines can be easily adjusted to define the required space behind the car.. It switches on automatically when reverse is selected.. More BC30 cameras can be added, and the sat-nav will know about them.. I don’t need to upgrade the existing primitive infotainment system.The only fiddly bit was to add a wire from the +12V reverse light through the 30cm umbilical to the boot lid, where the camera and its bracket were mounted on a convenient spare plastic panel. It was easy to snip off redundant bits of bracket. See the close-up picture of camera and bracket.However, while it is adequate to see obstructions when parking, the camera is let down by the image quality which loses it the star on the rating. Resolution is low even on the small screen of the sat-nav, motion is blocky, and shading is coarsely quantised in low light or darker areas. See the wide-angle picture, with boot lid edge cropping the head of the picture and bumper showing across the foot, and a bit too much contrast between sunlight in the distance and shadow in the foreground for the camera and display.

Reasonably easy to fit to a Mitsubishi ASX, I could not get the tailgate inner panel off so worked through the gap when the lower edge was loosened and the bulb changing access panel was removed. As the wires to the reversing light were quite thin I connected the power cable using a military splice then used insulating tape to cover the exposed wires. Replaced the power cord to the sat nav with the one supplied with the camera as it has the receiver for the camera signal. Once powered up and gear lever put into reverse the sat nav screen changed to the rear view. Camera adjustment is easy using the supplied Allen key. The instructions to adjust the guide lines are easy to follow. The sat nav takes a couple of seconds to change to camera view when reverse is engaged. The picture is not 1080 HD but clear enough for use, I find it clearer in a darker environment like an underground car park. Has a wide angle of view so is useful to spot something in a blind spot caused by the rear pillars.

The camera is a great small unit which can be fitted very easily with a clip to the reg plate or two screws. You need to work out a route for the wire to pick up the reversing lights power but that's about the most difficult thing.Works very well and picture is clear.

I installed the reversing camera and it linked up great to my screen. I was Happy. But after aboout 18 Months the quality of the picture became slightly blurry. I assumed it was just dirt on the camera and so carried on. Wventually After having the car cleaned I noticed it was still blurry and it turned out to be dirt between the lens and the protective cover. I wrote to Garmin for help and after numbers of emails back and forth, was informed that I was out of warranty and if I wanted a new camera I would need to pay £50! Company has a Moto of "Built to Last", but it should really read "Built to last until Warranty out". They even suggested I look at the newer models to pay at full price...why would I do that! Most car cameras are built to last, I have a cheap one on my daughters car and it is better than the Garmin in every way possible. Very dissapointed in a big company.

A very effective camera tho very low Bluetooth range so had to buy additional extra length cable before final use

Easy to fit to my 7.0 metre Motorhome paired up perfectly with camper 780 sat nav. Setting up also easy

Souhaitant une caméra de recul pour mon Renault Trafic, j'ai choisi ce modèle car il était possible de coupler la caméra avec le GPS (Garmin Drive 51). Dès que je passe la marche arrière, l'écran du GPS passe en mode caméra, c'est vraiment pratique !Astuce / conseil d'installation : pour la protéger des intempéries et des éventuels chocs, j'ai entouré la caméra d'un tube de PVC que j'ai découpé et collé en biais, en-haut de la porte arrière. Ça demande un peu de bricolage (surtout de la patience pour trouver la bonne découpe de tube) mais le résultat est très efficace, et puis du coup la caméra est très discrète !Bref, je recommande ce produit :)

Tutto sommato semplice da montare, è bastato collegarla alla luce di retromarcia, con un segnale wi-fi per il navigatore senza difetti, fornisce una visione chiara a grandangolo della zona posteriore. La regolazione da navigatore prevede il posizionamento delle barre colorate che indicano la distanza; si posiziona a terra un oggetto alla distanza voluta, per esempio 20/25 cm dal limite posteriore dell'auto, e si regola la posizione delle righe in modo che quella rossa corrisponda all'oggetto visualizzato; da quel momento la linea rossa indicherà la distanza scelta dall'ostacolo posteriore. Unica accortezza è trovare il giusto compromesso tra estetica, facilità di montaggio e protezione della camera dalla sporcizia sollevata dall'automobile tipo pioggia, sporcizia, etc. In linea di massima più si posiziona in alto e meglio è.

Funciona muy bien y se conecta perfectamente al navegador Garmin que tengo instalado en el l coche dando una imagen nitida y clara

Nach langem Überlegen hab ich diese Kamera gekauft und bin nicht enttäuscht worden.Ich nutze sie jetzt ca 2 Wochen an einem Vito von 2015, also schon mit CAN-Bus System was in manchen Rezessionen als problematisch beschrieben wird.Bei mir funktioniert sie jedoch einwandfrei und nach dem Einlegen vom Rückwärtsgang liefert sie nach ca. 1 Sekunde ein Bild.Der Gedanke von Garmin das vorhandene Navi dafür zu nutzen finde ich schon genial. So spart man sich den 2ten Monitor.Das Bild ist nicht zu vergleichen mit einer HD Kamera die original vom Werk her eingebaut wird, aber durchaus brauchbar.Auch in der Nacht reicht das Bild zur Orientierung aus. Nur wenn eben Regen ist und wie es der Teufel will, ein Tropfen genau auf der Linse ist wars das mit dem Schauen. Dann heißt es aussteigen und weg wischen oder nix sehen. Aber dafür kann Garmin ja nichts.Der Einbau ist vom Grunde her ganz in einfach. Es muss lediglich das +Kabel des Rückfahrscheinwerfer gefunden werden, was durch Messen einfach rauszufinden ist. Dann das Massekabel an - oder Karosserie und das wars schon. Der Rest ist steckerfertig.Allerdings ist die richtige Montage der Kamera etwas ... sagen wir mal "tricky".Ich hab den Kennzeichenhalter im Bereich der Klammern von der Kamera mit einem Dremel ausgfräst so das die Klammer darüber geschoben werden kann und zusätzlich mit einer Schraube gesichert.So kann sie weder geklaut werden noch sich von alleine verschieben.Alles in allem machbar wie ich finde ohne ein Profi zu sein.Dauert halt etwas, aber das Ergebnis ist perfekt. Nachtrag nach knapp 4Jahren Benutzung: Die Kamera ist fast blind geworden durch die Witterungseinflüsse. Also für ewig ist sie nicht. Nochmal ein Nachtrag, die neue hat nach 2 Jahren einen Kurzschluß. Insgesamt habe ich jetzt in 6 Jahren die 3. Muss jeder für sich entscheiden ob die Haltbarkeit ok ist, ich finde sie doch zu kurz.

Ich hatte die Wahl für mein Garmin-Navi zwischen BC30 und BC40.Nach langem Für und Wider habe ich mich für das BC 30 entschieden.Es kann zwar nicht so flexibel eingesetzt werden wie das BC40, aber der Vorteil besteht darin, sie1. ein gestochen scharfes Bild hat,2. geht nur beim Einlegen des Rückwärtsganges an und ist somit nicht batterieabhängig und3. kann demzufolge im Gegensatz zur BC40 nicht gestohlen werden.Der Einbau geht einfach. RFK plazieren, am Nummerschildträger bzw. Auto festschrauben, Plus und Minus am Rückfahrscheinwerfer anschließen, im Navi die RFK aktivieren - Fertig .Ich kann diese Rückfahrkamera nur empfehlen.
