I am having an issue with my backup camera and perspective. On the road, vehicles look like they are way behind me on the screen, but my mirrors show them as being pretty close. The lane stripes also look like they are two or three times longer than normal. My camera is about 10 feet up. Do I need to lower it? Any suggestions?

My original rear view mirrors with stuck-on small convex wide angle mirrors eliminate blind spots.
It appears to me that numerous side and rear cameras just confuse things by adding to the visual workload of the driver. I sometimes wonder if they aren't becoming expensive crutches?
If I'm not sure of what is happening when backing I get out and look.
There is no need for radios if a backup assistant stands so as to be seen in the rear view mirror and uses hand signals. The trouble with many assistants is that they don't understand the maneuvering limitations of the bus so they are often more harmful than helpful, this causes a lot of yelling and screaming in RV parks!!
Cody, Sorry, I haven't measured ours yet. I will try to do it today. So far I have been able to communicate with hand signals. We use a lot of the same ones that we use for backing concrete trucks in. God bless,John
