Why is the reversing camera displaying a white and blurry image?

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 While less likely, screen malfunctions or outdated displays may contribute to blurriness.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.

As an ordinary driver, I get quite nervous when the reversing camera suddenly turns white and blurry. Think about it, the most common reason is that the lens is dirty or covered by foreign objects. After daily exposure to wind and rain, the accumulation of oil film or stains can blur the image. Aging internal components of the camera may also cause the image to fade or turn white, especially in cars that have been used for several years. If the screen display is normal but the image is blurry, it might be due to loose or short-circuited connecting wires. Sometimes, simply restarting the car's system can temporarily solve the problem, but in the long run, it's necessary to have a professional mechanic check it out. A blurry view increases the risk when reversing, so don't ignore it.

There are several main reasons for blurry and whitish reversing images. It's common for the lens surface to be covered with dust or grease, so try cleaning it. High environmental humidity, such as on foggy days, can cause the image to blur. Issues with the equipment itself, like an aging camera, can lead to image degradation. Faulty connection cables causing unstable signals should not be overlooked. From a safety perspective, blurry reversing images may lead to accidents, so it's important to regularly maintain camera cleanliness and check cable connections. If the performance is poor, prompt inspection and repair are recommended.
