I have a base 4dr Sasquatch and have been happy with most things. One thing that irks me is the backup camera. It's super low resolution. At night it's almost unusable.

Anyone else?

Try wiping it off. Every time it rains, it will need cleaned

What they said. I’ve noticed that it gets dirty way more often than any other backup camera I’ve had. Have to wipe it off every few days

I did clean it. Still looks terrible. I joked last night that in the dark it was like using a Gameboy for a monitor.

These photos was taken at dawn. It was not fully dark outside. Also for some reason it looks more clear in a photo than it does raw. Am I just spoiled by my aftermarket setup in my f150? It's like the difference between vhs and 4k HD by comparison

The backup cam quality on the 8in screen was atrocious on the 3 Broncos I've been in. I thought after the first one maybe it was something wrong with the Bronco in particular, but nope.

My opinion is the bronco has the best resolution backup camera I've seen. Mine looks great. I do have the 12" screen, so that may be a factor. But...

The backup camera does not have night vision. Unless it's well lit, the camera uses a very high ISO to produce as bright as an image as possible in low light.

The side effect is an image like you describe.

I haven't noticed a problem. I use my mirrors to backup, and the camera to verify no children or people are behind me. I am probably more old school though.
I use it just as a depth reference point as we back into a spot that goes up against a retaining wall. I also primarily use mirrors, it just bugs me at the price paid for the vehicle. It's the only new car my wife has ever had.

I guess I never noticed it enough to think about it. I put the car in reverse, the camera pops on and I can see behind me. It has been 100% functional. 🤷

I think it might be possible that there is a different resolution between packages.

I was in a Big Bend with the standard package and the back up camera was not very good. In a Badlands with high package is was fantastic. (Both Dealer Demos)

I have a Black Diamond being built with the mid package. I'm very curious to see how if it's an improved view from standard.
