i have a device which can supports 4 cams to be connected to a dashcam and controlled by a remote switcher

user posted image

the device works flawlessly capturing videos and switching between all cams but just one thing odd is the white banding lines it produced

user posted image

some suggested me that to use something like picture below to eliminate interference but still no cure

just right before i'm giving up, i noticed something when i pulled out the power cable from the device just leaving some portion of it slightly inside the device, the white bandings vanished miraclely all of a sudden

but this didn't last long once i reinserted the cable deeper to fully into the device, the white bandings reappeared again.......

what could be possibly wrong happened here? or any solutions that you guys can be suggested for me to solve it? thx

most likely dry joints/oxidation...

checked but the joint soldering seems fine,still shiny and even, didn't notice any oxidation/rust as well, just some smudges around the joints(seems like intended)

i did test in my room with router power adaptor but the lines were not there, weird

try using a different power source, test first by getting direct from battery

it looks like interference, in one of my previous vehicles, my dashcam would get scroll lines when connect phone to the USB port (also DIY, not OEM).

thus I seperated the 2 sources, then resolved.

the idea is to reduce the number of variables, thats why test direct from batt & go from there.

i first thought interference also, but ferrite bead does not help even i have already clipped four here and there and back and forth, no cure

actually my connection of dashcam and the device are of different sources also, dashcam lighter, this device obd, and another pendrive to usb

directly from batt you mean the fuse box is it?

I'm not well-versed in electrics, but maybe the 12V power supply's barrel connector may have a flaw internally causing EMF which results in the banding on the monitor?

not sure, it's not my field of expertise also
now waiting for the new power cable to see how thing going

yes,just to rule out variables.

once inside the cabin, any 12v may come from various modules/relays/etc.

if from batt results in exact same condition, then the device is faulty. Halfway plugged in may intro other long term affects which i am not educated on, maybe can also explore what effects & causes of this.

As for ferrite beads, over a decade ago i played with this, i didnt find any difference in my use case.

i don't want to touch the fuse box as i'm not familiar with it
i tried with a power bank just now, surprisingly the lines are gone, but once i plug it back to my car usb port, appear again...
is this means that my car voltage got problem?
