How to Adjust the Up and Down of a Car's Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
Rotate the camera 180 degrees and reinstall it. Here is a detailed introduction to the rearview camera: 1. Installation method: After preparing the rearview camera, first connect the wires and test it. If the image is not displayed in the rearview mirror, it is recommended to directly choose to return and replace it. Generally, the wiring for most rearview cameras is relatively simple, and you can directly plug them in according to the interface form. The longest wire is used to connect to the display screen, usually with a USB interface, which can be directly plugged into the smart rearview mirror. 2. Benefits of the rearview camera: The driver can see the situation behind the car on the display when reversing, avoiding accidents caused by the driver not being able to see the rear situation, making reversing safer for the driver.
I recently encountered this issue where my reversing camera angle was off, always pointing upwards and unable to show ground obstacles. After researching, I found there are generally two adjustment methods. For factory-installed car systems, you can enter the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen, find the camera calibration option, which usually has a sliding bar or buttons for up-down tilt adjustments—just a few clicks for fine-tuning. The other method involves physical adjustment, such as locating the camera inside the trunk door, loosening the fixing screws with a small screwdriver, and slowly rotating the position before tightening them. A word of caution: always do this in a safe place, with the engine off to avoid electric shock. After adjusting the angle, test it by placing an obstacle behind the car to check the view—don’t set it too high (pointing at the sky) or too low (missing distant vehicles). It took me half an hour to fix, and reversing became much safer afterward. Regular checks are essential, especially if you often park in areas prone to bumps.
