{"product_id":"garmin-camera-encastree-gc-255-acier-inoxydable-marine","title":"GC™ 255 flush-mount camera, stainless steel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eGarmin GC™ 255 flush-mount camera\u003c\/strong\u003e in stainless steel is a marine surveillance solution designed for discreet and robust integration. Specifically developed for demanding marine environments, it provides reliable monitoring of key vessel areas such as the anchor locker, engine compartment, or stern. Its flush-mount design and stainless steel construction distinguish it from add-on cameras or pan\/tilt\/zoom (PTZ) models like the Garmin GC™ 200, offering a fixed and durable solution.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable lens module and mounting flexibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    At the core of the \u003cstrong\u003eGC™ 255\u003c\/strong\u003e is an adjustable lens module capable of tilting up to 35 degrees within its housing. This feature allows optimization of the field of view for specific applications, ensuring an adequate view of objects close to the vessel when the lens is angled downward. The camera can be mounted above the waterline and, if necessary, installed upside down (e.g., on the bow) with software rotation of the image on the chartplotter, providing installation versatility. This flexibility is crucial for adapting surveillance to each vessel's architectural constraints, unlike fixed cameras that would not allow such adaptation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity and system integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eGarmin GC™ 255 flush-mount camera\u003c\/strong\u003e uses Garmin BlueNet™ network technology for seamless integration with compatible GPSMAP® chartplotters. The system includes a GVAM 10 black housing, an 8 m coaxial cable for camera-to-housing connection, and integrated Garmin BlueNet™ and power cables of 2 m within the GVAM 10 housing. This architecture ensures stable and fast data transmission. Compatibility extends to Garmin Marine Network devices via a Garmin Marine Network adapter cable, ensuring integration into existing or mixed systems. This multi-network capability positions it as an adaptable component within the Garmin ecosystem, offering an alternative to generic IP cameras or closed proprietary systems from other brands like Raymarine or Furuno.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Installation of the \u003cstrong\u003eGC™ 255\u003c\/strong\u003e requires the use of 55 mm (for hulls \u0026lt; 12 mm) or 57 mm (for hulls ≥ 12 mm) hole saws, a 3.2 mm and 4.5 mm drill bit, and specific torque wrenches for SMA connectors (9 kgf-cm) and screws (11.5 kgf-cm). The GVAM 10 black housing must be mounted in a ventilated, non-submerged location, away from noisy electrical sources. The stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and weathering, essential for long-term marine use. Garmin emphasizes the use of provided cables and connectors and discourages any modifications to maintain warranty validity and system performance, underscoring the importance of installation in accordance with manufacturer guidelines for optimal reliability at sea.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55860440695124,"sku":"010-02892-00","price":922.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_f001029b-60b3-433d-b82d-d8eb6ab054ab.jpg?v=1779193497","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en\/products\/garmin-gc-255-flush-mount-camera-stainless-steel-marine","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
