The Varia RCT715 is a rear bike radar, tail light and 1080p camera in one unit. It detects vehicles up to 153 yards behind you and alerts a compatible Garmin Edge computer, select Garmin wearables or the Varia phone app. The camera records continuously and saves footage before, during and after a detected incident, and a 16 GB card is included. It suits riders who want rear awareness and video evidence in a single mount, but its battery life of roughly 4 to 6 hours is shorter than a radar-only Varia, and the unit is bulkier and heavier than the RTL515.

Owners value the combined radar and camera for commuting and traffic-heavy roads, and say the alerts are clear on a Garmin Edge. Many complain about battery life with recording on and about the unit's size and weight.
The Garmin Varia RCT715 is a rearview radar with a built-in camera and tail light. The camera records your ride continuously. The radar detects vehicles approaching from behind and shows them on a compatible Garmin device.
The camera records at 1080p and 30 fps, or at 720p to extend battery life. It saves footage automatically before, during and after an incident. You can view footage and control the camera in the Varia mobile app. A 16 GB SD card is included.
The radar detects vehicles up to 153 yards (140 meters) away. It sends alerts to an Edge bike computer, select Garmin wearables, or the Varia app on a paired compatible smartphone. Three modes help manage battery life: always-on, lights and radar only, or radar-activated mode, which turns on the camera when a car approaches.
