Garmin BlueNet Network with an IP Camera and no Legacy Garmin Marine Network Chartplotters

If your Garmin BlueNet™ network includes a compatible IP camera, but does not contain any legacy Garmin® Marine Network chartplotters, you must connect the camera to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch for proper functionality (no PoE isolator needed).

NOTICE

Some jurisdictions may prohibit or regulate recording audio and video, or taking photographs. Jurisdictions may require that all parties have knowledge of the recording and provide consent before you record audio and video or take photographs. It is your responsibility to know and comply with all laws, regulations, and any other restrictions in your jurisdiction.
