Overview

The Garmin GC 245/GC 255 is a network marine camera line that adds a live view at the helm for docking and close-quarters maneuvering. It streams 1920 x 1080 video (1080p output supported on select chartplotters) and sends H.264 video over the Garmin Marine Network or Garmin BlueNet.

It is IPX7 rated for exposed mounting locations and hardwired for 12V or 24V systems with 4.5 W power draw. On the display, you can switch between FishEye and standard views, use digital zoom and digital pan, and enable BirdsEye view when the system is professionally calibrated.

This setup makes sense for skippers who want a dedicated stern or bow view on a compatible Garmin MFD, especially when backing into slips, watching a swim platform, or working tight pilings around dusk and nighttime lighting.

Variants

Offered in multiple mounting styles and housing finishes to match both the install location and the look of the boat.

Across the range, the camera supports IP networking on Garmin Marine Network and Garmin BlueNet, uses H.264 video, and runs on 12V or 24V power. Mounting method and housing color or finish are what change between options.

• 010-02892-00: Flush mount, stainless steel housing. Through-hull installation with a low-profile 3.2 in x 3.2 in face and 3.3 in body depth behind the surface, so plan clearance before cutting.
• 010-02892-10: Surface mount, white housing. Compact 2.4 in x 2.4 in x 2.2 in unit that can be oriented dome-up or dome-down when setting the viewing angle.
• 010-02892-11: Surface mount, black housing. Same surface-mount form factor as the white option, with a black finish for boats with darker hardware and trim.

Compatibility and system integration

The camera connects to a compatible Garmin chartplotter or MFD over IP on the Garmin Marine Network or Garmin BlueNet, and the feed can be shared across other compatible networked displays. You can also place multiple camera views on a custom page, including up to four feeds at once on supported displays.

Installation and setup

Power is hardwired for 12V or 24V systems. The included adapter module and cabling help with clean routing back to the network, including an 8 m video coaxial cable and a 500 mm network adapter cable with a small-to-large connector.

Flush-mount installs require a cutout for the through-hull body, while surface-mount installs fasten directly to the mounting surface. After mounting, camera orientation and on-screen guidance lines are configured at the display, and distance markers or BirdsEye view become available when the system is professionally calibrated.
