Garmin BlueNet Network with an IP Camera and a Legacy Garmin Marine Network Chartplotter

If your Garmin BlueNet™ network includes a compatible Internet Protocol (IP) camera and at least one legacy Garmin® Marine Network chartplotter, you have two options for connecting the camera, with no performance concerns. You can use the option that is easiest to implement in your network:
  • You can connect the camera to either a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch using a Garmin BlueNet cable without a PoE isolator.

  • You can connect the camera to a legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotter or a GMS™ 10 switch with a Garmin Marine Network PoE isolation coupler (010-10580-10).

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.

Callout number 1

Garmin BlueNet network devices

All Garmin BlueNet network devices must connect to one another or to a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.

Callout number 2

Legacy Garmin Marine Network devices

If you have more than two legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, these devices must connect to one another or to a GMS 10 switch.

Callout number 3

IP camera connection

If your Garmin BlueNet network includes a compatible Internet Protocol (IP) camera and at least one legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotter, you can connect it to either a Garmin BlueNet device or a legacy Garmin Marine Network depending on what is easiest to implement in your network.

NOTE: You must connect a compatible IP camera to either legacy Garmin Marine Network devices or to Garmin BlueNet devices. You cannot connect a single camera directly to both types of devices even if the camera has two RJ45 ports.
