I Enabled Anti-Flicker on the V380 Pro Camera to Prevent Lines from Appearing on the Camera Display

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.
