Back up safely using this Garmin BC 30 010-12242-10 wireless camera, which transmits footage to your GPS receiver from up to 45' away. A frame rate of up to 28 fps ensures smooth video (actual rate depends on GPS, not included).
I am very impressed with the operation of this camera. It is paired with a Nuvi 2689 that I was already using. I had noticed that the Nuvi has an app for a back-up camera so I knew it was compatible. We have another vehicle with a factory back-up camera and it has become a necessary safety feature that I believe should be on all vehicles. The cost of the BC30 camera, including Best Buy installation, isn't that high compared to its convenience and the cost of a mishap it might prevent. The camera is powered with the backup lights so it automatically activates in reverse gear. The update takes about a second, and interrupts the Nuvi even when it is looking for satellites immediately after power-up, so there is no further delay. The camera image is very clear and the colored lines (green, yellow, red) provide a distance estimate.to obstacles as you move in reverse. There is no sound as this does not include back-up assist. Also, all back-up cameras get dirty, especially in winter, and that makes the image appear very grainy and foggy. A simple wipe of the lens with your thumb restores the crisp image. I learned this lesson on our factory back-up camera so I have no doubt that such dirt is the cause of most complaints of poor image quality from this and other back-up cameras. Like other such cameras, this one uses a wide angle lens that will "see" approaching pedestrians and other vehicles that are outside of your vision through the car windows from the drivers seat, such as when your rear bumper moves beyond a high vehicle like a truck or SUV parked next to you as you back into a street. This is a good, reliable product, and is also indispensable any time you have children potentially in the vicinity of your vehicle.

This router installed easily and started up well with default settings. I upgraded from Linksys E3000. There are many detailed settings in the E3000 but the Asus unit has many, many more. I view this as a big positive because more detailed settings provide greater flexibility for unusual and unique requirements. Others may understandably disagree but the Asus' default set-up will satisfy most requirements and work quite well, and there is nothing worse than having one of those unusual requirements and having a router that can't deal with it.

What's great about it: Outstanding range and speed
What's not so great: If you need more than default set-up, do your homework.
