What to Do When the Reversing Camera Image is Foggy and Unclear?
2 Answers
Solutions for a blurry reversing camera image are as follows: 1. Method one: Remove the camera and apply some glue for sealing or directly replace it with a high-quality camera. 2. Method two: Replace it with a higher-definition reversing camera, preferably one with night vision capabilities. 3. Method three: Check the looseness of the wiring connections in the reversing camera system and also inspect if there is any dust or dirt obstructing the camera. Reasons for a blurry reversing camera image are as follows: 1. Reason one: Most reversing cameras on the market are waterproof, but if you purchase a low-quality one, it may allow water seepage, leading to a blurry image. 2. Reason two: Low camera resolution results in a blurry screen display, as the camera's own clarity affects the display resolution. 3. Reason three: If the reversing camera screen shows a snowy pattern, it might be due to poor wiring contact causing a blurry display, though this situation is relatively rare.
When I first started driving, I often encountered the issue of a foggy reversing camera. This is usually because the lens is covered with dust or grease, especially after rainy days or when the car is parked under trees where dirt easily accumulates. I would first gently wipe the lens with a clean, soft cloth—remember not to use a wet cloth or alcohol directly, as it may scratch the surface or cause a short circuit. If it remains blurry after wiping, it might be due to internal fogging, which often happens during seasons with large temperature differences. I would try driving with ventilation for a few minutes to let the moisture dissipate. If that still doesn’t work, it’s necessary to check if the camera’s sealing ring is aged or damaged—over time, it can loosen and allow moisture to seep in, requiring a replacement. I recommend cleaning the lens every time you wash the car. Don’t underestimate this small maintenance step; it can prevent accidents caused by poor visibility while reversing and significantly improve safety. I also once experienced a blurry image due to a loose camera wiring connector—simply checking and securing the plug fixed it. If you encounter such issues, don’t delay—address them promptly.
