Installation Considerations

Page 2 highlights

Installation Considerations You must connect the camera power wire to the battery through a 1 A fuse or circuit breaker. If you do not use a fuse or circuit breaker, the camera can malfunction. Some Garmin® GPSMAP® chartplotters have a built-in CVBS video encoder. Video from the camera or cameras appears on all chartplotters on the network when plugged into a single CVBS IN port. Go to garmin.com/gc14 for a list of compatible GPSMAP chartplotters. If you want to use more than one camera or the chartplotter does not have a CVBS IN port, you must use an encoder. You can add up to four cameras to one encoder and up to two encoders to the Garmin Marine Network. NOTE: To reduce the possibility of interference, you can install a composite video ground loop isolator (not included) between the camera and any chartplotters that do not have isolated power grounds.
