It’s frustrating—some users of the V380 Pro CCTV camera have experienced a problem where the image shakes, as if there’s a black line running down the screen. This display is very distracting, as it causes the camera to lose detail. These black lines are recorded on the memory card. The main cause of this kind of shaky image is that the camera is installed too close to high-voltage power lines. Another cause is a mismatch between the electrical frequency and the camera.
In this guide, I’ll try to explain what the Anti-Flicker feature is on the V380 Pro camera and how to enable it.

How to Enable the Anti-Flicker Feature on the V380 Pro Camera?
The V380 Pro camera’s Anti-Flicker feature can be enabled through the camera settings in the V380 Pro app. Please follow the steps I’ve outlined below.

Log in using your registered account in the V380 Pro app. If you’re already logged in, opening the app will take you directly to the app dashboard.
Tap the three dots on the CCTV camera.
Tap Settings.
On the Settings page, scroll down to the Advanced Settings menu. Tap Advanced Settings.
You’ll then be redirected to the Advanced Settings page. There, you’ll see that the Anti-Flicker feature is off. Tap Anti-Flicker Settings once.
By default, the Anti-Flicker feature is turned off.

Select the Anti-Flicker frequency according to your needs. Typically, the recommended frequency is 50Hz, which is the frequency of most electrical voltages.
The Anti-Flicker settings on the V380 Pro are now complete. Enabling this feature will ensure the camera operates normally and eliminate any black lines or flickering that interferes with the display. If 50Hz doesn’t resolve the flickering issue, users can select 60Hz. Below is an example of a CCTV camera display that is experiencing flickering problems.
