I have a factory camera and the image on the screen is not sharp and not bright enough,does this camera improve the image and brightness on the screen

This camera picture is crisp. The image is bright enough. The only problem I have with it is that whenever water touches it it becomes so blurred u can't see a thing. But when it's dry, it becomes bright again. I hope this helps.

Robert, there is no way that I know would increase the vision on this camera. However, earlier, I was getting hazy images. But then I ran the wiper and cleaning the wind shield gave me good pictures at night. The pictures are clear but the roads need to have light. This camera does not have IR. So you have limitations.

My unit has the same dim red glow. I added a piece of florescent lighting diffuser panel (used in overhead lighting) the same size of the LED face. This widened and smoothed out the lighted image seen with the camera. This unit is still working, since 2008. Great product. You should buy the best camera you can then worry about the illumination after it is up and running. A high quality day/night camera with a very low lux rating (&lt;0.001) can produce amazing images in very low light. The better the camera you start out with the more effective the illuminators will be.

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

The picture quality is poor...for it to be sharp, the image will be quite small...This is not a good quality product..

I haven't used the TMax in a while but you should be able to go into the "settings" screen and brighten the screen from there. Either through a display setting or look for a slide tab for screen brightness.

I have had the camera for about a year. It is still working, however the grid lines have disappeared. (Yeah, explain how that happened. But the grid lines was confusing anyway.) I was using this camera with a Garmin 7 inch GPS, and after being covered by snow through most of the winter, the picture became very dim. Yesterday, I installed a Pioneer AVH-X2600BT in my truck. Suddenly, the picture looks pretty good on the new Pioneer. So the bottom line, it is worth the money. I have replaced two cheaper units before this one, and it's fustrating when they stop working......

I'm not very happy with the camera. As far as it sticking out I got a case for it and that eliminates the problem. I do have issues with blury pictures and the camera has not met my expectations overall. I would not re comend it.

It can produce fairly good images at low light but resolution is not too high to begin with and there needs to be some light; pitch black and it won't see anything (no surprise). If identifying faces is important, I would not use this product unless it is in a well-lit area.

Hi Linda,We have used this camera extensively at many varying lighting conditions and have always been very satisfied with the results. The amazing part is that I have always left the setting in automatic and used the factory defaults. Someone with a bit more expertise that I, can get much more out of this camera. For the technically challenged, as am I, this is a great camera that does everything extremely well. Enjoy.

It is not that great. There is not that much reflection from the plastic dome when using IR, the camera + IR focus is weak.I have my car parked in the drive way and I cannot make out the license plate at all during the night with the IR.

Adjust the brightness of your screen. There is no control to adjust on the camera itself.

The unit we have is bright and crisp. I am happy with the screen, so I'm thinking you may have a faulty screen.
