{"product_id":"garmin-camera-gc245-montage-plat-pont-marine","title":"Garmin GC™ 245 flat-mount deck camera, white model","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eGarmin GC™ 245\u003c\/strong\u003e marine camera, white model, is a high-performance surveillance solution designed for integration with Garmin navigation systems. Positioned as an advanced option compared to simpler Garmin cameras, it features an adjustable lens module that provides increased flexibility for field-of-view adjustment. This module allows the lens to tilt down by up to 62 degrees and rotate 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, complemented by a rotation of the entire housing up to 80 degrees after mounting to the base plate. A red dot indicates the top of the lens to assist with orientation, with installation recommended with the lens pointing downward at approximately 35 degrees relative to the waterline for optimal viewing of objects close to the vessel.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegration and network connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    At the core of this system, the \u003cstrong\u003eGC™ 245\u003c\/strong\u003e relies on the included black GVAM 10 housing, which provides connectivity and power. This housing integrates a 2-meter Garmin BlueNet™ cable and a 2-meter power cable, simplifying installation. The camera is compatible with Garmin BlueNet and Garmin Marine Network technologies. For optimal performance and future update support, it is recommended to connect the GVAM 10 directly to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch. In the presence of a Garmin Marine Network, a Garmin Marine Network adapter cable (part number 010-12531-01, sold separately) is required. Garmin warns against modifying the provided 8-meter (26.25 ft) coaxial cable and offers a 25-meter (82 ft) coaxial cable (part number 010-13026-02) for installations requiring greater range.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation considerations and robustness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Installing the \u003cstrong\u003eGarmin GC™ 245\u003c\/strong\u003e camera and GVAM 10 housing requires careful attention to detail. The camera must be mounted above the waterline. The GVAM 10 housing must be installed in a ventilated, non-submerged location, at least 71 cm (28 inches) away from noisy electrical sources to avoid interference. The installation process includes drilling pilot holes (2.8 mm for the camera, 4.5 mm for the black housing, 9.5 mm optionally for internal camera cable routing) and using a specific torque wrench for SMA connectors (9 kgf-cm). The use of marine sealant such as 3M™ Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 is recommended to ensure waterproofing. Garmin emphasizes using the provided cables and connectors to maintain warranty validity, highlighting the expected robust design for marine environments while requiring compliant installation for durability.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":55860441186644,"sku":"010-02892-10","price":457.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_0cbcf38b-11a3-40d2-8a97-ac9e80805ae5.jpg?v=1779193518","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/garmin-gc245-flat-mount-deck-camera-marine","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
