Varia Camera App Connect IQ Widget?

I was syncing my Edge 1030 this evening and reinstalling the “Lights” widget to use with my RTL515 new Varia UT800. There appeared to be newly available widget: a “Varia Camera App.” Does anyone have any information? Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I’m really hoping for Varias with integrated safety cameras, which unlike the garbage sold by Cycliq, actually work.

Does anyone know anything about the Connect IQ Varia Camera App, or any intelligence about new Varias being released soon?

"VARIA camera app" or "VIRB camera app"? Are you sure you got it right?

Definitely “Varia Camera.” I uploaded a screenshot earlier, but it doesn’t seem to have posted.

Huh, what do you know! Didn't see this comming.

If this is true, then it's pretty cool. Nice piece of intel.

That is a long asked for item.
picture quality only need to be good enough for identification and that’s easy with German plates (they are optimized for that purpose). And location and time needs to be saved into the files.
if this is given and the radar works as good as my RTL510, it would be a no brainer.

Garmin dealers in South Korea are starting to take reservations for the new Varia with tail lights, radar and camera. And the price is 529000 won.

but There is no more information about images or specifications.
