## Description

It looks back while you ride ahead. The Varia™ RCT715 rearview radar with camera and tail light continuously records your ride and automatically saves footage before, during and after events if it detects an incident. The bright tail light makes you more visible to motorists. And Varia RCT715 integrates seamlessly with your Garmin bike computer or the Varia™ mobile app on your paired smartphone to alert you to traffic as you ride. The app lets you easily access your footage, transfer videos or customize camera settings such as data overlays. A selection of operation modes lets you flex camera and tail light features to maximize battery life for longer rides. Notice: Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit use of the camera function of this device. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy in jurisdictions where you plan to use the camera function of this device.

Review: For the price, this camera and tail light has everything it’s meant for
Review: Es un producto que por calidad precio, puede ser excesivo, pero para mi cumple con todos los aspectos. La calidad del video es buena pero podría ser mejor. Pero al aumentar la calidad la batería sería menor, la precisión para detectar autos es muy buena así como carros y motos. La luz es muy buena y más por que la puedes controlar desde el Garmin en el trayecto como tomar fotos o guardar ciertos videos. Para pasar los videos recomiendo mejor hacerlo desde la memoria a una computadora o celular con algún adaptador, por que desde la aplicación es muy lento.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are larger sd cards supported? there is mention of an included 16gig sd card.**
A: 16 gig included and it supports up to 2 TB

**Q: Can you actually just using it as a camera and set it on front?  Can you view entire footage? I like the fact that it has a long life battery.**
A: Yes you can but why would you. There are some inexpensive front facing cameras that works very well. I have a Cycliq Fly 12 and a Teentok cameras. Both work very well. The Cycliq is $500 and the Teentok is $100, The latter works as well as the $500 camera. Use the RCT 715 for what is made for...safety.

**Q: Does the camera have image stabilization yet?**
A: It does not. If you ride over rough terrain your video will be very "bumpy"

**Q: Is one brand of micro sd cards preferred?**
A: I don’t think it matters

Great product, this is a lifesaver when biking on the road. Bright light and long lasting battery. The video recording capability is great especially if you should find yourself in a ditch after being hit by mobile phone surfing drivers
