This rearview camera—part number 3776080-SP01—is a super important part of the Dongfeng Dignity IX5’s back-up help system. People often call it the car’s “rear eye.” It mostly fits 2019–2023 IX5 models (both high and low trims) and works perfectly with the car’s central control screen. Its main job? When you’re reversing, it grabs real-time images of what’s behind the car, sends them to the dashboard or central control screen, and pairs with moving guide lines to help you avoid blind spots—like curbs, small obstacles, or even pedestrians—so you can park safely. Without a working rearview camera, reversing gets way riskier, especially in tight spaces or at night. Below’s a closer look at what this part does:
This camera isn’t just a “video recorder for the back”—it has 4 practical features that make reversing safer:
Showing What’s Behind in Real Time: When you put the car in reverse (R gear), the camera turns on automatically in 0.5 seconds. It sends a clear color image of the area 0.5 to 5 meters behind the car to the central control screen (usually 10.25 inches or 12.3 inches, depending on your IX5’s trim). This gets rid of those “blind spots” your rearview mirrors can’t reach—like low-down stuff such as flower beds or small kids.
Wide View to Cover More: It has a 120° to 170° horizontal view (tuned to the IX5’s width), so it can capture the whole width of the car’s rear—including the left and
right sides of the
rear bumper. That way, you won’t miss obstacles near the wheels.
Better Vision at Night: It comes with 4 to 6 built-in infrared LED lights or low-light sensors. Even in dim spots—think underground parking lots or dark roads with no streetlights—it can still get a clear view. It works well up to 2 or 3 meters away at night, so the image won’t be too dark or fuzzy.
Moving Back-Up Guide Lines: It teams up with the car’s steering system to show “moving back-up guide lines” on the screen. When you turn the steering wheel, those lines shift direction right away—like, if you turn left, the lines bend left. They show you where the car will go when reversing, which is a total lifesaver for new drivers trying to park in tight spots.

The camera’s work process is simple but super efficient—from the moment it turns on to showing the image on the screen, it takes less than a second. Here’s how it goes step by step:
When you shift the car into reverse (R gear), the vehicle’s gear sensor sends a “reverse signal” to the camera’s power module. The camera fires up right away—you don’t even need to flip a manual switch.
First, the lens grabs the scene behind the car. Then, the CMOS image sensor (the part that “sees” the picture) turns that optical image into an electrical signal—either analog or digital. There’s also a built-in image processing chip that tweaks the signal: it adjusts brightness, contrast, and color to make the image clearer. For example, it’ll brighten up dark spots when you’re reversing at night.
A connecting wire harness sends that processed signal to the central control display. If it’s a digital signal (which most newer IX5 models use), the transmission is faster and more stable. If it’s an analog signal, it works with older central control systems—so no compatibility issues there.
Once the central control system gets the image, it overlays “dynamic guide lines” on top. These lines are calculated based on the car’s wheelbase, how much you’ve turned the steering wheel, and how fast you’re reversing. As you turn the wheel, the lines bend with it—so you can tell exactly where the car will go when you back up.
When you shift out of reverse (like into D drive or P park), the camera shuts off on its own after 2–3 seconds (or right away, depending on how the car’s set up). It’s just to save power—no need for it to stay on when you’re not reversing.
These numbers directly affect how good the camera’s image is and how easy it is to use. Here’s what you need to know, in simple terms:
Resolution: It comes in 720P (1280×720) or 1080P (1920×1080). The 1080P version is standard on most IX5 luxury trims—it’s sharper, so you can even see small stuff like a water bottle on the ground behind you.
Viewing Angle: Horizontally, it covers 120° to 170° (tuned to fit the IX5’s width, which is about 1.9 meters). That means it can see the entire rear of the car, including the left and right sides of the rear bumper—no blind spots by the wheels.
Night Vision: It has 4 infrared LED lights (with a wavelength of 850nm). It works well up to at least 2 meters in the dark—like in underground garages or unlit roads at night. Its low-light sensitivity is ≤0.1 lux, so it can handle really dim spots without the image getting too dark or fuzzy.
Working Voltage: It runs on 9V to 16V, which fits the car’s 12V electrical system. It doesn’t care if the voltage dips a bit when you start the car or spikes from the generator—still works fine.
Working Temperature: It handles temps from -30℃ to 85℃. That means it works in freezing Northeast China winters (no frozen lens) and sweltering South China summers (no overheated sensor).
Signal Delay: It takes ≤0.5 seconds for the image to show up after you shift into reverse. No lag time—so you won’t misjudge where you’re backing up.
Waterproof Rating: It’s either IP67 or IP68. IP68 is better—it can even handle being submerged in water for a short time. The original IX5 cameras usually come with IP68, so you don’t have to worry about rain or car washes ruining it.

Summary
At the end of the day, the Rearview Camera 3776080-SP01 is a total safety must-have for the Dongfeng Dignity IX5. Sure, it might seem tiny, but it seriously lowers the risk of accidents when you’re backing up. If you clean it on the reg, install it the right way, and use real OEM parts if you ever have to replace it, it’ll keep running nice and smooth—so every time you reverse or park, it’s way safer and simpler!
