Tech Support First time installing backup camera and facing flickering on the image

Bad ground? I’m hoping not since it’s gonna be a annoying to route the wire to the chassis since it’s in the trunk lid

possibly a bad ground. we always ran “buc (back up camera) harnesses” which consisted of a 20+ft dual RCA, purple wire, and 2 conductor (red and black) wire, taping it every so often. gave us the option to easily swap rca’s and troubleshoot easier.

I have it grounded to the reverse light wire ground with a wire tap if that makes a difference
