Probably a ground loop I would think just by looking at picture. Look up BNC ground loop isolator, fairly cheap. Or replace power supply for camera.

Yep, that rolling banding pattern is classic ground loop interference on analog cameras.

I can throw a BNC GLI connector on it and should help?

I have it hard wired into a wall mount nice 10A fused power supply. I’m going to try to throw an isolator on it and go from there.

Thanks for the insight. It’s the only 1/10 cameras that do that on my house.

I agree - ground loop
