A:AnswerYes. I think they wire the power into the back up lights so that when you put the car into reverse and those white back up lights come on, it powers up the camera.
A:AnswerFootage taken from your BC Wireless Back-Up Camera isn't being recorded or stored in any way. Instead, the BC Wireless Back-Up Camera simply displays what's behind your vehicle when in reverse, and the footage can be viewed on the DriveAssist 50LMT's display. The DriveAssist 50LMT records and stores video from its Built-in Dash Cam, but not from the BC Wireless Backup Cameras. Thanks! (KS)
A:AnswerI previously reviewed this backup camera and stated that you loose the traffic alerts feature. That was information I was given by a dealer but evidently that refered to the older BC-20 or a earlier release of the BC-30. I originally returned the BC-30 because of the bad information I received. I decided to give it a try again and it does indeed maintain traffic alerts as well as the wireless camera as long as you use the new cable that comes with the BC-30. The box now states that it supports traffic alerts.
In any case it works quite well. I installed it on my Alfa Romeo 4C sports car. Wired it to the backup light which is easy to get ot on my car once it is jacked up. After 1 1/2 to 2 seconds the backup camera comes on. The image is actually quite good...not HD of course but more than satisfactory. It also has moveable lane alignment lines and distance markers that are very useful too. In the two month I have had it I have no glitches. On my car the backup lights are relatively bright so ;provide enough light at night to see what is behind you but there is NO built in IR or light source on the camera. I like that the camera is very small and inconspicous. And since my Garmin GPS serves double duty it saves having to put another monitor screen in the car.
By the way I tried to correct my earlier post but was unable to do so.
A:AnswerGarmin does not currently produce a rear view mirror with a camera built in. If this is something you'd like to see produced in the future, please submit a request here: http://www.garmin.com/ideas
