USB2.0 is only supposed to work up to 5m. Try with a shorter cable close up and see if that works (meaning if it does the cable length or physical damage is the cause). If this is the case you will need a USB repeater to re-boost the signal.

it is most likely signal loss down such a long cable, USB does work over 10m but not very well. Ideally your best bet is plug it into a powered Hub and see if it improves, it may still be not enough.
The only other option you have then is either a shorter cable (7.5m or 5m) or the more expensive choice of a wireless camera.

It maybe the length of the cable, this will slow down the transmission speed which might be the problem.
