How to Deal with Water and Fog in the Reversing Camera

First, wipe the camera lens clean with a dry cloth, then use a hair dryer to blow air at the camera. Remove the camera and dry it thoroughly, then apply sealant for reinforcement. Seek professional repair at a maintenance shop.

Last time I noticed condensation on the rearview camera, the entire screen was blurry, which made me uneasy while reversing. Actually, condensation is mostly caused by poor sealing or large temperature differences. I quickly wiped off the surface moisture with a clean, soft cloth, parked the car in a ventilated area to let it dry naturally, and avoided using a hairdryer with high heat as it can easily deform the plastic. The next day, if there were still water droplets, it might indicate that the camera housing seal has aged, requiring a new gasket or resealing. When washing the car, be careful not to spray water directly at the camera area, as high-pressure water jets can force water inside. During regular maintenance, it's advisable to check if the camera is securely installed to prevent issues and ensure peace of mind while reversing.
