When designing video surveillance systems, it is important to understand the lighting requirements of the camera.
A basic camera will work reasonably well in consistently lite areas but where the lighting is not providing a consistent result as is the case in this video clip, you need a much higher quality camera with a pixel based wide dynamic range to be able to sample the scene in the varied lighting conditions.
