Why is the reversing camera displaying a white and blurry image?
2 Answers
The reasons for a reversing camera appearing white and blurry are: 1. Glare issues; 2. Rain, snow, dust, humidity, and other factors can cause the reversing camera image to become unclear. When the reversing camera image appears blurry, the owner can wipe it with a tissue. Additionally, applying some anti-fog spray to the reversing camera lens regularly can effectively prevent blurring issues. The reversing camera, also known as a parking assist system, or reversing visual system, or onboard monitoring system, is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles such as trucks, buses, school buses, coaches, and construction machinery for reversing or driving safety assistance.
I also experienced a whitish and blurry reverse camera image before, and initially thought the car was broken. Turned out it was quite simple to diagnose. There could be several reasons: oil stains or dust on the camera lens (often overlooked during car washes) can degrade image quality. Humid or foggy weather may cause moisture buildup, blurring the display. A severely aged or worn-out camera tends to produce whitish images. Loose cable connections can also lead to poor signal transmission and distorted visuals. While less likely, screen malfunctions or outdated displays may contribute to blurriness. My advice: routinely wipe the camera before driving. If the issue persists, inspect wiring or consider replacing the camera—safety comes first, as poor visibility during reversing increases collision risks.
