Excellent camera, but there are some details worth knowing
This is a very high quality camera. HOWEVER, there are some details worth knowing about. It does not have a night mode (such as infrared lighting like some cameras) no doubt because it must always run on batteries. So, at night, you only have available light, but it still does fairly well. Battery life is a couple of months, maybe more, using lithium non-rechargeables (1.5 volt AA size). So, it is good to keep spare batteries in the vehicle. In a pinch, or if you prefer, you can certainly just use alkaline batteries, but the life will be more like a few weeks. Some, not all, of the compatible Garmin GPS units allow setting the camera's resolution and lower resolution helps battery life. So, you should check into that. I have a Garmin DriveSmart 61 which is a model that does NOT have this resolution setting feature. Perhaps the most significant annoyance is that it lacks security as it is easy to just snap off the mount in about a second. One solution is to mount it inside looking out the rear window instead of mounting on the license plates. Others secure it with plastic cable ties and have to cut them and replace them with each battery change. Some make some sort of security bracketing. Finally, you can't really use it as an alternate "rear view mirror" as it automatically switches off the video once in forward motion as a safety feature. They don't want you looking at the video, I guess, except when using it when backing. But, after all "BC" does stand for "Backup Camera."Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Limited in safety from loss
If left on vehicle it would be easy to loose. Only clips on. I made some changes for using to hitch my trailer. Company I purchased this from is top notch, and have no complaints.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy to install, and easier to steal
Easy installation. Simple and straightforward pairing. Good quality video. Would be super easy to steal the camera, so I'd recommend hiding it in your car when you're done for the day. And definitely get the lithium batteries, unless you like changing them every couple of days.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Almost as good as built-into car
The camera was easy to install. It took me longer to remove the one I had in the car, then it took to install, check for function and adjust the settings on this new one. It has a large clear picture and it is easy to use. It is about as close to a factory install as I have seen. I have used 2 other after market back up cameras this is by far the best.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Viewing is sharp and clear in all light conditions.
The Garmin BC 40 has a wide, sharp view with adjustable guide lines for horizontal and vertical. The camera can also be tilted downwards for your preferred viewing. Even in low light the view is sharp and clear.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great camera, installs in minutes
You have to adjust lines for backing up straight, but it really makes for safer driving. You will need the lithium batteries, alkaline only last a few days. Overall a great product, and the price was nice.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A good safety feature addition to my SUV.
Voice control of turning the video on an off works well and is very useful. The lane markings are of great help. This product is a real stress reliever on backing up. This back up camera and the Garmin DriveSmart 65 is a great combination.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent Product
Absolutely love this and works better than expected. Installed in minutes. Linked to my Garmin Drivesmart 7 LMT EX in seconds. It works better than most factory built in backup cams. Highly recommended, just make sure it is compatible with your GPS unit!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good backup camera for a Garmin
The wireless backup camera works well. I can’t get it to respond to voice commands, but it comes on when the gps is started with power from the vehicle. It shuts itself off after about 30 seconds. There is a button on the gps screen to start the camera. I can’t speak to the longevity of the batteries and there is nothing to stop anyone from stealing it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Almost GREAT, but far from perfect.
A great accessory to pair with my Garmin DriveSmart. However, it really needs theft deterrence. It takes only 0.25 seconds to steal from bracket :-(. . . . WISH LIST: I wish it had ability to provide rear image into my Garmin Dash Cam.
