that's what I asked! I said what makes this $200 one better than a $100 at best buy and hell no I'm not sending $200 on that

 

Wondering if anyone can help with this. I installed the backup camera already. I have a kenwood dnx 9990 hu. Have it working. I'm getting a picture interference when I have in reverse. I thought it was a connection problem. I redid all of them over. Still was going on. The I changed the cheap RCA cable it came with, with a solid Pearson one. Still occurring. Any ideas. I'm thinking in my be the camera or I need a video line amplifier.

 

Have you tried plugging the camera into another monitor? That should tell you if the camera is OK.....

BTW, what type camera do you have? Is it a cheap one from China? I am going to buy one... just dont want to have the same problem.

 

I purchased a mini CMOS. Its for the tailgate handle. I plugged it up to a tv and it worked.

 

I bought it from a local car shop. Didnt want to wait a month or two to come from china.

 

If the camera was tested on a bench and it works I would think it's the wiring. Video is very picky, especially when traveling 20 feet. Try twisted shielded pair wire, maybe 20awg.

Get some shielded twisted pair wire and run it from the camera to the monitor, just hang it outside the truck, do not route the wire, test it first, if it works your good, route the wire through the truck.

 

I am waiting on my monitor and camera now. I am going to run RG6 through my truck. For the 20 foot run, the loss will be next to nothing and the shielding will be fine. Just gonna need an adapter to go from RCA to an F type connector.

 

RG6 should work just fine....

 

When I rewired it, I used a 20ft Pearson gold series video cable. I ran it from the camera straight to the hu. I also redid the connectors for the ground and power. Those cables are cheap. But I don't think they could cause a problem. Or can they?

 

If they are not shielded they can pick up a ton of noise from the truck, the longer the cable the more noise it can pick up. Try what I suggested in the earlier post and let me know how it goes? You can try a coax cable too, RG6, same as used for cable tv, just use the adapter from F connector to RCA.... However you have only two leads. with twisted pair you have two leads, video + and video -, you also have shield, a third wire..... which is used on stock ford cameras.. I went with shielded twisted pair.
