“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 clearly see behind the vehicle.”
Quality and reliability in all the right places
The BC 50 backup cameras offer sharp HD resolution, a wide 160-degree field of view, a long wireless range and a compact, IP67 weather-resistant housing designed to withstand snow, rain and road conditions. What’s more, customers can purchase an optional 50-foot extension cable that expands the wireless transmission range up to 100-feet, ideal for extended rigs and vehicle-trailer configurations needing a reliable backup camera solution.

- Garmin DriveSmart™ 66/76/86 series for every-day commuters
- Tread® all-terrain series for recreational off-roading or overlanding enthusiasts
