Docking a boat in tight quarters can be one of the most stressful experiences for boaters. But two new marine cameras from Garmin can help boaters dock with confidence.
Garmin recently unveiled the new GC 245 and GC 255 marine cameras. These high-definition cameras built for Garmin chartplotters can provide distance markers and guidance lines to enhance situational awareness when docking in challenging places.
Both 1080p (full HD) cameras deliver multiple views directly to a compatible Garmin chartplotter, including standard, wide-angle FishEye and overhead Bird’s Eye view.
The GC 245 and GC 255 allow multi-camera streaming. Boaters can see up to four camera feeds simultaneously on a compatible chartplotter or share the video across networked chartplotters for better viewing throughout the vessel. The cameras also feature digital zoom and pan so boaters can take a closer look at a specific area of interest or pan around the field of view to focus on anything within sight.
Engineered for a wide range of boats, the GC 255 has a stainless steel thru-hull design that can be flush-mounted for a sleek and modern aesthetic. The GC 245 features a surface-mount design with black or white options to complement the boat’s color scheme. It can be mounted with the dome up or down and does not require cutting into the vessel’s hull for simple installation. Both camera models also offer easy setup and full integration on the Garmin Marine Network or the Garmin BlueNet network.
Rugged and weatherproof, these cameras have an IPX7 rating to withstand typical marine environments, including water and dust.
The GC 245 surface mount camera has a suggested retail price of $699.99, while the flush mount GC 255 camera has a suggested retail price of $999.99.
