source of light (e.g sun or spot light).

Move your camera to a different location.

Picture is too dark

If using during the day, the camera may not 
be getting enough light. Adjust position of 
camera as needed. Check the brightness and 
contrast settings of the device your camera 
connects to (TV/Monitor/DVR).

Picture is not clear

Check the camera lens for dirt, dust,

Notes:
1.

For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. Preference for using 
the same cable type for the entire distance.

2.

Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption 
(up to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption, 
maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the 
camera at the camera side rather then at the end of the extension cable.

Indicators that your cable run may be too long:

 Video is permanently Black & White (even during day time)
