    • If you already have a Garmin GPS then this is the one
Review Image by Pelican Pelican
This backup camera works perfectly. The installation takes only a couple of minutes and is clearly explained in the brief manual. The device has obviously been carefully designed to adapt to various requirements. For example, most add-on cameras are located at the top of the license frame which is the default location for this one. However, those I have tried blocked the hatch handle on my SUV making it difficult or impossible to open. That was also the case with this device which completely blocked the handle, but the frame is designed so that the camera holder can be flipped and the bracket inverted with the camera on the bottom. That worked perfectly. If you have a compatible Garmin GPS which includes the DriveSmart series – a compatibility list is available on line – then you only need to insert 2 Li batteries, remove the license plate, and reinstall with the camera holder in place. Pop in the camera and you’re finished. The camera pairs automatically with the GPS and includes several convenient features. It turns on automatically whenever the car is started. The display is clear, adapts well to sharp differences in lighting such as when the car is in the garage with bright sunshine outside, and automatically turns off when the GPS senses forward movement or after a couple of minutes. A button appears at the upper right of the display to manually turn the camera on and off, and voice commands can also be used. It would be nice if the camera turned on automatically when the GPS senses backing movement like it turns off with forward movement, but that might require too much distance to be useful and it is no big deal anyway. Assuming that this camera proves to be sturdy and waterproof over time, then I will be really happy with it. As others have mentioned, the pop-in aspect of the camera is convenient for installation and battery changes, but also would make it a 2 second process to steal. It might be better to be a little less convenient to remove to reduce that risk, but perhaps that won’t be a problem. Time will tell, but for quality, ease of installation and overall convenience, this is definitely a 5. Edit: after using for several more weeks, this still rates a 5. It sometimes takes a few seconds to connect when starting the car, but not always and the delay is never more than 3-5 seconds. This makes backing up an SUV much easier. As for the easy theft issue, that could be partly addressed by adding a couple of metal tabs screwed into the bottom holes in the license plate (see photo). Not theft proof, but no longer a 2 second matter either. Garmin should include something like this by default. Overall, this camera is a good choice. ... show more

    • With Garmin’s latest update, camera works as intended!
Update: )( 10-1-2022)Camera now works as intended with Garmin update. I’m leaving the original post as to inform users of the issue I had. After repeated connecting issues came down to Bluetooth interference with the camera while Garmin Drive App is activated. Brand new camera with brand new lithium batteries. Removing or shutting down Bluetooth on the phone, camera works fine. Was told by Garmin it uses Bluetooth and WiFi to work. Good picture quality when I does connect. Easy to install but can be stolen easily. Not a good design for theft. I sent a video of the issues to Garmin and hopefully they can do a firmware upgrade to fix the issues. I can now proudly recommend the BC40 to work with Drivesmart 86, Garmin Drive App and BC 40!! ... show more

    • Backup Camera easily adds an element of safety.
This is a great backup camera with guidance lines. It takes a maximum of 5 minutes to install. You can easily remove the camera from its receptacle and later just simply snap it in when you return to the vehicle. It has a very wide viewing angle and you can actually see the back of the cars adjacent to at a traffic light. Camera is wireless and totally Bluetooth which means that sometimes you may have connection difficulties with low batteries. To view the camera on a compatible device, you need only say, "Show Video". Pros: Priced acceptable. Easy to install. Camera snaps into position and easily removed from holder when leaving the car. Wide viewing angle. Acceptable video quality. Guidance lines can be adjusted from the linked device inside the car (remotely). Cons: Purely a backup camera that can be activated for a few seconds when driving. Does not store the video. So don't think you'll be able to argue with the policeman that caught you failing to stop and now writing you the ticket. ... show more

    • Easy to Install and Great Video
I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma pick up. Although it is not a full size pickup, it is impossible to see what is directly behind the truck. I purchased the BC 40 because I wanted a backup camera that was easy to install and would provide great video. The BC 40 provide just that, great video and easy to install. Installation is over the existing licence plate. Literally, remove two screws, position the bracket, and re-install the screws is all it takes to install. From there, everything is wireless. Garmin makes a similar unit BC-30 that is wired into the break lights. It removes the dependency on batteries. However, I didn't want to have to crawl under the truck and go cutting into the wiring harness so the BC 40 was for me. If there is one disadvantage to the BC 40 it is cold weather and batteries. Occasionally, when the temperature drops below 30 degrees, weaker batteries are not enough to power the camera. Fresh batteries or warmer temperatures usually fix this problem. You decide. If you want super easy installation the BC 40 is for you. If you don't want the hassle of batteries, the BC 30 is your better choice. I recommend both. CompuVet ... show more

    • It Works!
I love this little backup camera. I put lithium batteries in it and it has been over a year since I put it on my car. The batteries have withstood a cool Wisconsin winter and just recently I got a notification that I need to replace my batteries, although the camera is still working. Because the camera clicks in to the holder and some people reported that theirs fell off, I just neatly placed a piece of duct tape along the side for a little extra security and still maintain easy removal when I need to change batteries. Be aware when viewing things behind you, objects are closer than they look. The camera provides 3 lines to help gage distance: green, yellow, and red for when you are in the danger zone. It’s an inexpensive little backup camera that works really well and only needs batteries replaced once a year. It’s one of those things that I’m no longer willing to be without. ... show more
