What are the methods to reduce glare on the reverse camera screen?

To reduce glare on the reverse camera screen, you can set the car display screen brightness to the highest level. Below is a detailed introduction to the reverse camera: 1. Function: The reverse camera is a part of the parking assist system. It uses a rear-mounted camera to capture real-time images of the area behind the vehicle and displays them on the central control screen. When parking, the driver can intuitively observe the actual situation behind the vehicle through the screen, significantly improving parking safety. 2. Guidelines: The reverse camera guidelines can be divided into two types: simulated wheel trajectory lines and simulated distance marker lines. 3. Wheel trajectory lines: Wheel trajectory lines are usually represented by two vertical solid or dashed lines, indicating the simulated movement paths of the rear wheels. These lines also shift according to the steering wheel's rotation.

As an ordinary DIY car enthusiast, I find the glare from the rearview camera really annoying, especially when driving on sunny days with direct sunlight hitting the screen, making it hard to see behind. I've dealt with this issue a few times. Try applying an anti-glare film—you can find it online or at auto parts stores—just stick it directly onto the screen to reduce reflectivity. If the screen is positioned too high or facing a window, gently adjust its angle so that the camera and screen are tilted away from direct light sources, avoiding direct sunlight or headlights. Dust buildup inside the car can also worsen glare, so regularly clean the screen surface with a microfiber cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners to prevent damaging the coating. Additionally, applying sunshade film to the windows or using a foldable sunshade above the screen can make reversing safer and more convenient in low-light conditions. Remember, these small adjustments can prevent reversing mistakes and contribute to overall driving safety—paying attention to vehicle maintenance details is always a good idea.

In my experience helping people repair cars, reducing glare on the reverse camera screen requires a comprehensive approach. The first step is to clean oil stains and dust off the screen, as these can amplify glare—use a soft cloth dampened with water to gently wipe it down. Check if the mounting position is stable and adjust it to avoid direct light sources. Many glare issues on the market stem from low-quality screen films; replacing them with high-quality anti-reflective coatings or films can significantly improve visibility. If you often park outdoors, consider adding a simple sunshade inside the car. In the long run, upgrading to an OEM anti-glare screen or optimizing the interior lighting environment (such as avoiding reflective objects) is advisable. Don’t overlook this issue—glare affects visibility during nighttime reversing or on cloudy days as well. Safety should always be the top priority when driving.

As a new driver, I used to struggle with glare on the backup camera. My solution is simple: stick an inexpensive anti-glare film on the screen to instantly reduce visual interference; or manually adjust the screen angle to avoid direct sunlight. Keeping it clean matters too—dust worsens glare, so just wipe it with a cloth. When parking, choose shaded spots or garages to minimize glare. This easy, budget-friendly trick helps prevent scratches while reversing.
