Reasons for a blurry rearview camera image: 1. Water ingress into the camera causing blurriness—you can remove the camera, apply some sealant, or directly replace it with a higher-quality one; 2. If the rearview screen shows a snowflake-like pattern, it might be due to poor wiring connections—check the looseness of the rearview system's wiring ports and also see if dust or dirt is blocking the camera; 3. If the display's brightness and color are off, consult the vehicle manual or a 4S store staff to adjust the screen's brightness and color contrast.

I've encountered quite a few reasons for blurry reversing cameras. The most common is when the lens surface gets dirty - like when mud splashes on it during rain or dust accumulates after parking, making the image appear fuzzy. One time I parked overnight by the roadside and next morning found the display completely blurred, turned out birds had soiled it. Insufficient ambient light is another issue, especially in garages or on cloudy days when the camera's light capture capability decreases. Another possibility is camera aging or damage - after years of use the lens might wear out. I recommend developing the habit of wiping the lens with a soft cloth before reversing. If the problem persists, have the camera inspected for damage. Prevention is key - regular cleaning can avoid these minor troubles and ensure safe reversing.

The reversing camera image is blurry. Based on my decades of driving experience, this is mostly caused by lens surface wear or dust accumulation. Being exposed outdoors for long periods, the lens can easily get scratched by sand and gravel or become dirty, leading to blurriness. Another possibility is loose wiring connections at the camera, which may cause poor signal quality. I remember once when the image was unclear while reversing during a business trip—it turned out the wiring had been pulled from parking at a construction site. A blurry reversing camera not only troubles driving but also increases collision risks. I recommend regularly visiting a service center to have technicians check the system; simple cleaning and tightening of the wiring can often solve the issue. Keeping the lens clean is essential driving knowledge.

I often research the issue of blurry reversing cameras. Technically, it could be due to scratches or dust on the camera lens, which distorts the image. System software errors might also require a reset at the 4S shop. Some vehicles have poor-quality cameras that perform badly in low light. One of my cars had very fuzzy images during rainy days, but adjusting the contrast in system settings improved it significantly. Long-term neglect of blurriness can affect reversing accuracy, so it's important to address it promptly to ensure proper functionality.

How to Align a Motorcycle Rear Wheel?

Loosen the screws on the rear wheel axle, straighten the wheel, adjust the small pull rod on the rear frame, and then tighten the screws on the rear axle. If the motorcycle pulls to one side when braking, it indicates that the front and rear wheels are not aligned. The solution is to align the rear swingarm and rear suspension fork, ensuring the rear axle and rear suspension fork scales match.
