WHAT IS THE GARMIN BABYCAM?
The babyCam is an in-car camera designed to allow you to see someone sitting in the rear of your vehicle via the screen on your satnav. As the name suggests, this is primarily for those who have a baby strapped into the back seat of a car, who may even be facing backwards.
With the babyCam you can grab a peek at your little occupant with a press of a button, for reassurance, or if you're worried that something might be wrong. Normally, you'd either have to pull over for a quick check, or crane your neck round, which means you wouldn't be paying attention to the road ahead.
GARMIN BABYCAM – MOUNTING AND SETUP
The babyCam itself is a relatively small, tubular device that's mostly made up of its battery compartment. This takes a pair of AA batteries, although there's also a mini-USB connection on the rear that can be used for power. The mount included is designed to attach to the metal rods of an extending head rest, so if your car doesn't have such a fixing then you may struggle to find a suitable position to place the camera.
