Combine rearview radar, a tail light and ride recording with the Garmin Varia RCT715. Its camera records behind the bicycle at up to 1080p and 30 frames per second, while the radar provides approaching-vehicle alerts through compatible paired equipment at a range of up to 140 metres.
Recording and footage access
Choose continuous recording, radar-activated recording or camera-off mode. If an incident is detected, the camera can automatically save footage from before, during and after the event. Use the Varia app on a compatible smartphone for video access, transfer and camera settings; a 16 GB data card is included.
Tail-light modes and battery duration
Garmin lists up to 4 hours in solid or night-flash mode, 5 hours in peloton mode and 6 hours in day-flash mode, all with 1080p recording. Actual runtime depends on the selected settings and use.
