Garmin Edge 1040 Solar is compatible with Varia RCT715 radar activated taillight with built-in camera which costs Rs 40,490.

It comes with features like automatic incident capture where video footage from before, during and after the event will be automatically saved and the Varia app can be used to access the video footage, transfer videos or simply customize the camera settings.

The device emits visual and audible notifications to alert passengers to approaching vehicles that are up to 140 meters away. The taillight can be seen up to a mile away, says Garmin, which means that before the radar detects the approaching vehicle, the vehicle’s driver can see the cyclist.

In addition to the Garmin Edge, the Varia RCT715 can also be paired with the Garmin smartwatch. As for battery life, the Varia RCT715 has up to 4 hours of battery life with radar and backlight in high or night flash and up to 6 hours with radar and backlight in day flash – all with the camera recording continuously at 1080p.
