Rear facing WiFi camera add-on

Post by jasonjmu »

I have a 2024 R4S which did not come with a rear facing camera. After riding in a buddy’s Malibu I see how nice this is for surfing and water sports.

Has anyone successfully added a WiFi camera to the Garmin Glass Cockpit?

It looks like it supports VIRB cameras (which Garmin has discontinued) as well as others via WiFi.

It would be ideal if I could pair a simple suction cup mounted outdoor battery powered WiFi camera, or even something like a GoPro (no idea if this is supported) and display in the Garmin Glass Cockpit. Hate to run wiring for a rear camera we’ll only use occasionally.

I saw one post on adding a wired 360°ptz but this seems like overkill for my needs.

Thanks in advance.

I have been debating putting the Garmin GC100 on my R7 but haven't pulled the trigger. Where and how to mount it for a clean look continues to be a problem for me.....
