GARMIN 150GC200 GC 200 Marine IP Camera

Product Information

The GCTM 200 IP Marine Camera is a high-quality camera designed for marine use. It offers a single camera cable instead of separate power and ethernet cables, making it convenient for installations far away from other electronics. The camera features a compact design and is easy to mount. It has a durable construction with a water rating of IPX71, allowing it to withstand incidental exposure to water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. The camera also has infrared capabilities for night vision and motion detection.

Product Usage Instructions

Mounting the Camera:

Secure the template to the mounting location.
Using a 2 mm (1/16 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
Using the included hex wrench, loosen the screw in the side of the camera base.
Remove the base from the camera body.
Feed the camera cables through the camera base, or through one of the cable channels.
Align the camera base with the pilot holes, and secure the camera base with the washers and screws.
Attach the camera to the base, and tighten the screw in the camera base.
Connect the camera cables.
Align the slots on the camera base with the collar lugs, and turn the collar until it locks.

Connection Considerations:

NOTICE:
To avoid permanently damaging the camera, do not connect the camera directly to a 24 Vdc system. You must use a Garmin Power Module when connecting to a 24 Vdc system. A fast-acting fuse is required for the power wire connection.

Mounting Considerations

WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.

You can mount the camera upside-down or sideways. You can reverse the camera image to use in rearview mode. See your chartplotter owner’s manual for instructions.

NOTE:
You must update your chart plotter software to set up and view the camera feed on your chartplotter.

You must mount the camera in a location where it is not submerged, does not present a hazard in doorways or walkways, and cannot be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
You should mount the camera in a location strong enough to support the weight of the device and where you can remove the camera.
You should mount the camera so the LED is visible and the cables can be connected easily.
To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not mount the camera closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.
You should test the camera in the selected location before you permanently mount the camera.
You can use the Garmin® Power Module to help make the installation easier. The Power Module uses a single camera cable instead of separate power and ethernet cables. This is especially beneficial when the camera is located far away from other electronics, such as near the bow or on a mast.

Tools Needed

Drill and 2 mm (1/16 in.) drill bit
Pozidriv® screwdriver
