Should The Custom Third Brake Light Camera 3460001 Work In Colder Temperatures?
Question:
My camera was installed at a dealership. During colder weather, the camera is very distorted and doesnt have a clear picture and eventually says camera not available. No issues in regular weather, any thoughts?

The way the Custom Third Brake Light Camera # 3460001 is designed, you should not be having any problems at below freezing temps. I cannot say I have ever heard this complaint in regards to any of the RV/Truck cameras that we sell here. My father-in-law has a similar camera on his Chevy truck. Last winter we has a cold spell with several days around or below zero, and the camera worked without issue. It makes me think that somehow moisture has gotten inside the camera, and when temps get below freezing it is clouding the lens and somehow causing the camera to disconnect.
It may be worth contacting the dealer that installed it for you and having them take a look.
