Video monitor sat nav system monitors passengers in the car
Garmin International has announced the babyCam, the first in-vehicle video monitor that functions wirelessly with a compatible Garmin GPS sat nav. Aimed at facilitating driver safety, the babyCam conveniently transmits video to the GPS sat nav display. This affords parents or caregivers the benefit of daily route guidance while the babyCam monitors their children in the back seat of a vehicle.
Thanks to its night vision, the babyCam also lets drivers view little passengers at night or in low-light conditions without disturbance. The Garmin babyCam is being announced in conjunction with the ABC Kids Expo on 18th October 2015 and will be showcased for the first time in booth #3134.
Drivers can easily mount the babyCam unit to a front- or back-seat headrest within minutes. The babyCam’s adjustable viewing angle can monitor multiple children in the rear seats of a vehicle. After driving to a destination, the babyCam reminds drivers to check for passengers before exiting the vehicle. This useful on-screen alert helps avoid incidents where a sleeping child or a loved one is accidentally left unattended inside a vehicle. In an effort to keep both hands safely on the wheel, drivers can use compatible voice-activated sat navs to control babyCam with their voice. A simple voice command allows users to switch from the Garmin navigation display to the babyCam view.
When paired with a broad range of Garmin sat navs for cars, trucks and motorhomes, the babyCam syncs seamlessly to the compatible device. Furthermore, the babyCam can be powered wirelessly with two AA batteries (not included), or with a USB power cable (sold separately). The easy-to-use babyCam monitor features a child-friendly design with no sharp edges.
The babyCam is the latest from Garmin’s consumer automotive segment, the leading worldwide provider of portable navigation devices for cars, motorcycles and trucks. Garmin’s user-friendly automotive solutions have innovative features to meet the demands of everyday driving.
“We are excited to be the first company to create a new product category that integrates passenger video monitoring with GPS navigation,” said Thiemo Weinschenk, EMEA Head of Product Management. “Having to awkwardly turn around or pull over on the side of the road to check on your child is simply unsafe. With babyCam, parents can easily monitor children as often as they need while running daily errands.”
