What are the reasons for a blurry reversing camera?
2 Answers
The reasons for a blurry reversing camera are: 1. The reversing camera is dirty; 2. There is moisture on the reversing camera; 3. The reversing camera has low resolution; 4. Poor contact in the wiring. The solutions for a blurry reversing camera are: 1. Clean the reversing camera position; 2. Replace the camera with a better quality one; 3. Check whether there is any loose connection at each wiring port of the reversing camera. The reversing camera is also known as a parking assist system, reversing visual system, or onboard monitoring system. This system is widely used in the field of reversing or driving safety assistance for various large, medium, and small vehicles. Generally, an ordinary single-output reversing camera only needs to connect the positive wire of the power supply to the positive terminal of the car's reversing light power supply, and the negative wire of the power supply to the negative terminal of the reversing light or to the ground.
I was also confused when I first encountered this issue, but after chatting with a mechanic for a while, I finally understood. The most common reason for a blurry reversing camera is a dirty rear camera, especially after driving on muddy roads in the rain—mud splatters covering the lens make it look like it's covered with a layer of gauze. Another reason is the camera itself being faulty—my car's camera got moldy and water-damaged after three years of use, making the image look pixelated. Loose wiring connectors can also affect signal transmission; once, after installing a dashcam, I experienced a snowy screen. There's also the possibility of a screen issue—a friend's car had ghosting on the LCD screen due to aging after prolonged exposure to sunlight. My suggestion is to first clean the lens with a microfiber cloth, and if that doesn’t work, take it to a shop for professional testing of the camera and wiring harness. After all, this relates to reversing safety—don’t take it lightly.
