Does it actually clear up once the engine is warmed? What electrical devices could also be running while you're having these issues?

Tried a differant RCA chord but Pretty sure It wasn't shielded. howevere I am starting to think the camera is affected by ambient temperatures. The weather here has warmed up and the "warm up" time of the camera has shortened considerably. and once "warmed up" it stays good for the whole day.

Before installation in the car I hooked the monitor up to my home DvD player and watched "Avatar". was surprised at the quality of picture. I'll try pulling the camera and trying it on a different monitor.

The cameras I now have are good -- if anything, you want as narrow an angle of view as possible -- ~100 degrees would be best.
Flickering could be bad connections, or pinched wires -- watch out for shorts and blown fuses. I pinched a power cord -- they have the conductors concentric, and I melted wires and then blew a fuse so the car would not start. The wires have to not chafe and not be pinched.

Mine is the same way. and the monitor is out of arms reach. I ended up Velcroing teh Remote to the dashboard where I could reach it.
Not sure what the camera angle is but id guess between 100 and 120 degrees (There was no documentation with the camera or on the webisght) . I have a 360 degree view around the car with no blind spots for the cost of moving m head to look at the passenger mirror.
I ran the wires through the grommet with the brake lights. so they are pinch and/chafe free!
Thank you all for the great input! You've given me several areas to investigate!
