The unclear reversing camera on the 2021 Camry may be due to dust or dirt on the camera lens. Below is relevant information about the Camry: 1. Introduction: The Camry is a model under GAC Toyota.

I've been driving a 2021 Camry for a while now and have encountered the issue of blurry backup camera images several times. There are quite a few possible causes. First, the lens gets dirty easily—mud splashes or dust accumulation on the road can make the image appear hazy. Second, the camera itself may degrade after two years of use, and the Camry's factory design places it low, making it prone to fogging in rainy or foggy weather. I've also experienced loose wiring connections, where bumpy roads caused intermittent signal issues. System settings might also be misconfigured, such as resolution not set to HD. If cleaning the lens doesn’t solve the problem, head to the dealership for inspection—don’t attempt DIY fixes. Driving with a blurry backup camera is risky; hitting something would be troublesome. Regularly wiping the lens with a soft cloth can help prevent issues.

Blurry reverse camera images on the 2021 Camry are commonly caused by camera hardware failures. Dirt or scratches on the lens surface obstruct the view; aging internal sensors like CCD chips fail to capture clear images; loose or corroded wiring leads to intermittent signal transmission; or software glitches in the body control module may affect signal processing. For this model, the camera's mounting position near the rear bumper makes it prone to dirt accumulation affecting clarity. I recommend first cleaning the lens with a mild cleaner. If that doesn't help, check system menu settings, such as calibration options. Safety-wise, blurry images increase driving risks and accident probabilities—don't overlook such seemingly minor issues. Timely maintenance is crucial.

If you notice the rearview camera on your 2021 Camry is blurry, don't worry—it's usually a minor issue. The lens might be dirty; try cleaning it with a damp cloth. Humid weather or rain can cause fogging, which should clear up after drying. Over time, the camera itself may fail and need replacement. Incorrect system settings can also cause distortion, so try resetting them in the menu. Safety note: A blurry camera makes reversing dangerous and increases the risk of hitting objects. I recommend cleaning first, and if that doesn't work, visit a professional repair shop for inspection.
