tech precision and has 99.99% or
more effective imaging. However,
there may be 0.01% image loss or

light unevenly.
Are the contrast and brightness
correctly adjusted?
The vehicle position mark may
be misaligned depending on
satellite conditions or vehicle status
(road conditions and driving style).
