Garmin Varia RCT715 Radar Camera Tail Light

Garmin Varia RCT715 Rear Radar and Tail Light

The Varia RCT715 Rear Radar and Tail Light is designed for cyclists everywhere. With the ability to detect vehicles approaching from behind, this safety device has a built-in camera that records footage and can be watched via a compatible Garmin device. This innovative rider-alert system will help you be more aware of what’s happening behind you and automatically saves video footage when it detects a collision, accident or fall. It also features rearview radar to detect vehicles from behind up to 140 metres away and a bright rear light to keep you visible.

It integrates seamlessly with your Garmin bike computer or the Varia mobile app on your paired smartphone to alert you to traffic as you ride. You can replay footage through the app later when your ride is complete.

The Garmin Varia RCT715 Rear Radar and Tail Light continuously records your ride and automatically saves footage before, during and after events if it detects an incident. The bright Tail Light makes you more visible to motorists. Varia RCT715 integrates seamlessly with your Garmin bike computer or the Varia mobile app on your paired smartphone to alert you to traffic as you ride. The app lets you easily access your footage, transfer videos or customise camera settings such as data overlays. A selection of modes lets you flex camera and Tail Light features to maximize battery life for longer rides.

You want to ride with peace of mind and know you’ve got video evidence should you ever need it. Get the rearview radar with a built-in camera that looks behind while you ride ahead.

Please Note: Camera view is only for setup – videos can be seen on the app after the ride. A 16GB card holds circa 2hrs of footage based on 1080p and 30fps settings – this will autoloop and save over the normal use footage. Any saved images/videos are protected until user deletes them. There is no warning it just loops (you have either saved an incident, or its auto detected an incident and these are secure).
