Backup camera fuzzy when cold

Not really a FORD question per se, but I bought one off those license plate mounted VR3 aftermarket wireless backup cameras for hitching up the boat in the morning when I am alone.
Similar to this:
Amazon.com: 3.5" LCD Wireless Backup Camera System - Truck RV Rear view Camera + Color 3.5" LCD Monitor + Night Vision: Automotive

Worked ok, but the picture quality was a bit fuzzy.

Then after a few cold morning uses, I parked the truck in the sun before hitching, and man what a beautiful, clear color picture! It appears that this thing works better warm.

Anyone experience this & gotta fix besides taking the monitor to bed and warming it up? :-)

Unfortunately when I need to use it, its morning and usually cold.
