Back up camera glare

From the ladder?

We have very poor use of our backup camera being used at night...

They need to be mounted as high as you can get them and then pointed down at a good angle...

Like shown here on this google photo...

When do have glare problems? The only time I had that kind of an issue was when traveling early or late and the sun was low and behind us.

Try cleaning the window over the camera.

Tried this and didn't work for us. We have glare all the time, starts at the back of the dinghy, JK Wrangler, and further back. I'm think it needs a shield above the camera. Mirror cams work much better.

My bad. I should have been clear. I'm talking about inside the rv.

Assuming you are getting glare on the monitor inside the RV the only real solution is a hood of some kind. Many manufacturers produce these but if not you will need to fabricate something to keep the sun off the screen.

Save the empty box next time you finish some crackers. The light cardboard is easy to work into a shade for the screen. Stick it on with painters tape or blue tack.

If you like the function, use it as a template for some plastic or aluminum sheet... Or keep the cardboard. Paint it matte black with a rattle can and call it done.

Thanks

ditto on using some sort of hood.
