What is the solution for a reversed rearview camera?
2 Answers
The solution for a reversed rearview camera is to swap the positions of the front and rear cameras. The purpose of the rearview camera is to allow the driver to see the situation behind the vehicle on the display while reversing, thereby avoiding accidents caused by the driver's inability to see behind the vehicle and ensuring safer reversing. The working principle of the rearview camera is that a wide-angle far-infrared camera device is installed at the rear of the vehicle, and the driver can clearly see the situation behind the vehicle through the display screen inside the car. The reasons why the rearview image is reversed are: 1. The front-view camera was mistakenly installed at the rear of the vehicle; 2. The vehicle system has mirror conversion settings enabled.
Once I installed a rearview camera myself but got it upside down, resulting in a completely inverted image that almost caused me to hit something while reversing. The solution is to first check the physical installation of the camera to see if the lens is facing upward—it should be facing downward toward the ground. If installed incorrectly, remove and reinstall it in the correct orientation to ensure stability. Then, navigate through the car's infotainment system settings menu to look for a camera option that might allow you to rotate the image 180 degrees—just try clicking it. If you can't find the setting or the system doesn't support software adjustments, seek help from a professional technician to avoid damaging components. Additionally, the rearview camera is crucial for safety, so regularly check to confirm the image is clear and not inverted to prevent accidents. Always test it once more before driving to ensure everything is normal—safety comes first. Don’t underestimate this small detail; it significantly reduces blind spot risks.
