How to Adjust Inaccurate Distance Measurement in Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
Methods to adjust the distance deviation in rearview camera are as follows: 1. Adjust the steering system: a. Adjust the tie rod of the steering gear. This method is quite troublesome and requires professional repair personnel to handle. b. Adjust the angle of the spline gear that fixes the steering wheel and steering column position. When the car is aligned straight, the steering wheel needs to be removed first, and then the angle of the spline gear is adjusted. This method is suitable when the car is aligned straight. If the steering wheel is in an offset position, it is not suitable for adjustment. 2. Adjust the angle of the camera: This method is the simplest. After the car is parked, observe the angle of the rearview camera until a suitable angle is found.
When dealing with automotive camera systems, I've noticed that inaccurate distance measurement in reverse cameras is quite common. The causes are usually due to misaligned camera installation or system calibration deviations. First, check if the camera is securely mounted in the center of the rear bumper without obstructions, and clean the lens to prevent dust from affecting the display. Most modern vehicles have built-in settings menus—engage reverse gear after starting the vehicle, then locate the assistance system calibration option on the dashboard or screen to adjust distance ratios by testing, such as comparing real objects with virtual guideline movements. Outdated software may also cause bugs; connect to the vehicle's computer to update the firmware. Develop a habit of manually confirming distances using side mirrors alongside the camera display—never rely solely on the image. Safe driving always takes priority. Related issue: If the camera gets water ingress or becomes loose, promptly secure it to avoid long-term inaccuracies posing accident risks.
