4 Notes on operating the module camera
The camera is powered by 12 V direct voltage.
If the camera or the cable connected to the cable is located near sources of strong
radiation, the video picture may be distorted.
The camera is equipped with automatic gain control (AGC). In low light the picture may
be altered (e.g. noise). This is not a camera malfunction.
The quality of the video image depends on the lighting and the monitor used to display
the video image.
Automatic white balance depends on the lighting used and can cause color distortions in
artificial light.
Poor lighting can lead to faulty white balance.
