Can the Rearview Camera Be Adjusted Higher If It's Too Low?
2 Answers
It can be adjusted higher. More details are as follows: Rearview Camera: Also known as a parking assist system, or reverse visual system, vehicle monitoring system, etc. English name: vehicle backup camera. This system is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. Application scope: After years of development, the reversing radar system has upgraded its technology, improved performance, and been applied to various vehicle types, such as trucks, buses, school buses, combine harvesters, corn harvesters, coaches, construction machinery, and other large vehicles.
From the perspective of physical adjustment, the position of the rearview camera directly determines the imaging angle. I've driven many cars equipped with cameras and noticed that some models have camera brackets designed with built-in adjustment space. By loosening the base screws with a Phillips screwdriver, you can tilt the lens angle upward a few degrees, which I've personally tested to improve the field of view. However, it's crucial to mark the original position with a marker pen before adjustment to prevent misalignment, and avoid setting the angle too high, as this may capture too much sky and reduce practicality. Older models may lack adjustment features, in which case the only solution is to replace the camera with a wider-angle component. This requires removing the tailgate trim panel and rerouting the wiring, so it's recommended to seek professional modification services to avoid damaging the waterproof seals.
