The MON-AHD1 is a 3.5" AHD camera and analog CCTV camera monitor. It supports 720p and 1080p AHD cameras and standard analog CCTV cameras. This test monitor can power a DC camera using the 12V-DC 1 Amp power output allowing the installer to mount, focus and test security cameras before running any cable (Only works with 12V-DC cameras rated up to 1 Amp).
When installing IP cameras, this monitor can be used to identify the IP address of the cable run. This monitor is designed to only test the cable and does not display the video stream of the IP camera. However, we do have this 7" tester that DOES display video from IP cameras.
The 3.5" LCD screen and provides a crisp, clear image. The brightness, contrast, and saturation are fully adjustable. Installers can test communication with PTZ cameras using the built-in pan tilt zoom controls. It supports more than 20 PTZ protocols, making it compatible with most PTZ cameras used today. The MON-AHD1 charges in 4 ~ 5 hours and can last up to 11 hours with normal use.
The auto-detect feature of the monitor automatically determines whether the camera is PAL or NTSC when connected. The MON-AHD1 includes a neck strap, RS-485 cables, rechargeable battery, charging cable, BNC cable, cable test box and a carry case to hold everything.
