Garmin added a new device to the Varia series developed in the field of bicycle technologies. Introduced under the name of Varia Vue, this product is offered to bicycle users with a 4K resolution video recorder and a powerful far headlight. In this way, an important step is taken in terms of both visibility and security. In the first place, the product is available in Garmin’s official store and Amazon.
One of the most remarkable features of Varia Vue offers is that it can recording events with integrated 4K camera. The camera can automatically detect collision or dangerous situations during driving. However, he can both write the SD card locally to the SD card and transfer it to the cloud service called Garmin Vault via smartphone connection. Uploading videos to Garmin Vault works with an optional subscription system.
Varia Vue’s advanced features respond to the expectations of bicycle users
The recording time of the camera varies according to use preferences. In 4K mode, which is the highest resolution, it can be recorded for up to six hours. However, the fact that the headlight is open at the highest brightness level reduces this time up to 1.25 hours. The user can reduce the resolution to 1080p if he wishes to increase the registration time for up to nine hours.
Varia Vue’s headlight is as remarkable as camera features. The headlight offers a shine of 600 lumen in flash mode used in daytime drives. In fixed mode, this value decreases to 550 lumen. The lowest brightness level is determined as 140 lumens.
In addition to all these, the design of the headlight is considered to be the eye health of the drivers. Thanks to the cutting beam structure that directs the light light towards the road, the eyes of the drivers coming from the opposite lane are not disturbed. This provides additional comfort in day and night drives. Varia Vue differs by combining both headlight and camera functions on a single device.
Varia Vue’s opportunities are not limited to this. The device matches Garmin’s rear radar Varia RCT715 and provides a smarter use experience. Thanks to this match, when a vehicle from behind is detected, the front camera automatically begins to be recorded. Thus, it can be recorded from different angles before and after a possible event.
Whatever happens, Garmin offers important options for safety of safety with Varia Vue. While users can store images on the SD card, the Wi-Fi connection has the opportunity to upload images to Garmin Vault. This feature requires a paid subscription. Users who pay $ 9.99 per month or $ 99.99 annually can safely store images in the cloud.
Varia Vue’s control options are also flexible. Thanks to the physical buttons on the camera and the headlight, direct control can be provided. On the other hand, all settings and registration processes can be managed through Garmin’s mobile application or bicycle computers. Thus, the device management becomes easier while driving.
Garmin’s habit of using Micro USB port for a long time has changed in this model. Varia Vue offers faster charging and data transfer with USB-C port. Besides, the SD card slot is behind the device. With this home, users can quickly transfer images to different devices.
As a result, Garmin Varia Vue stands out as a versatile security solution for bicycle drivers. The product, which attracts together both a powerful headlight and advanced video recording features, creates a new option, especially for urban or long road cyclists. Garmin’s experience in bicycle technologies is once again visible with Varia Vue.
