Having the best reversing camera is indeed an advantage. Not only can it help make your car much easier to manoeuvre, it also helps you prevent driveway and parking accidents. But when it's time to get a replacement, you should act quickly to avoid potential problems and to ensure that you will continue enjoying the benefits of having a camera system in your car.
In this article, we will discuss how to determine if you should replace your old camera with a new one.
Signs You Need to Get a New Camera
1. No signal
In the past, you can easily tell if a camera has adequate power supply by simply checking out their IR LEDS and ensuring they glow a faint red in the dark. But since most modern cameras don't have LEDs that glow, you won't know if they are getting a signal unless you switch them on. If the camera has no signal, it's very likely that it has wiring issues. But before you panic and get a new reversing camera kit, check its connection to the power source and/or monitor as it might only be experiencing loose connection. However, if the wires are intact and are still properly connected, then the camera might be the problem.
2. Black and white image
If you plugged in the camera for the first time and you see black and white images on the screen, you have the wrong TV system, meaning, your camera isn't compatible with your reversing camera. The two main TV systems are PAL and NTSC. Most modern monitors are compatible with both, but there are some that are NTSC only. If you have an incompatible camera, it's best that you replace it.
3. Condensation inside the camera
Being constantly exposed to the elements, every reverse camera system in Australia is sealed properly to ensure that no amount of moisture will get inside the device. However, if you see condensation behind the glass and if the inside of the camera seems dirty to you, it's very likely that the device has leaks. In most cases, this problem is irreparable and there are no other options for this other than to get a replacement camera.
If you notice any of these signs, make sure that you should address the issue immediately to avoid inconveniences. Because the camera is the most important part of your car reversing camera system, you should always keep an eye on it to ensure the optimum functionality of your camera system.
