Hikvision AE-VC253T-IT Mobile 1080P TVI 1/2.9”CMOS infrared array square Camera

SKU: AE-VC253T-IT
Description

The Hikvision AE-VC253T-IT is a 1080p mobile camera built for vehicles - buses, trucks, vans and fleet machinery. A rugged metal square body, a 4-pin aviation connector and an IP68 rating handle constant vibration, dust and water, while infrared up to 15 m covers the cabin or rear in the dark. It outputs an analog Turbo HD (TVI) signal, so it connects to a mobile DVR over a single aviation cable.

§ 01Overview

What the AE-VC253T-IT is

The Hikvision AE-VC253T-IT is a purpose-built mobile camera for in-vehicle and fleet surveillance.

Its compact metal square body measures just 83.2 x 46 x 41.6 mm, so it mounts discreetly in a bus cabin, a truck cab, a van load space or on machinery without getting in the way, and a 4-pin aviation connector locks the video and power connection against the constant vibration of a moving vehicle.

It is made for hard service.

The housing is IP68 against dust and water, it operates from -40 °C to 75 °C, and infrared up to 15 m keeps the cabin or rear visible at night.

A Progressive Scan CMOS sensor delivers 1080p at 25 fps, and you choose a 2.1 mm lens for a wide cabin view or 2.8 mm for a tighter angle.

It draws very little power - up to 2.5 W from a 9-16 VDC vehicle supply.

One important note on how it connects.

This is an analog Turbo HD (TVI) camera, not an IP camera.

It sends its video over the aviation cable to a mobile DVR (MDVR) designed for vehicles, rather than to a network NVR, and it has no microphone or speaker.

Match it to an MDVR that supports 1080p Turbo HD input and the aviation connector standard, and run the cabling so the plug is supported and strain-relieved.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the AE-VC253T-IT

Made for vehicles

A rugged metal body and aviation connector are built for the vibration of buses, trucks and fleet machinery.

Sealed against the elements

An IP68 housing and -40 to 75 degrees C range handle dust, water and temperature swings.

Discreet and compact

At 83 mm wide it mounts in a cabin or load space without getting in the way.

Simple vehicle wiring

One aviation cable carries video and power from 9-16 VDC to a mobile DVR.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Buses and coaches

Watch the cabin or doorway with a discreet, vibration-proof camera.

Trucks and vans

Cover the cab, load space or rear of a delivery or freight vehicle.

Fleet and logistics

Standardise in-vehicle monitoring across a fleet with rugged mobile cameras.

Plant and machinery

Add a sealed camera to mobile equipment that works in dust and weather.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What's in the box

One AE-VC253T-IT mobile camera with its aviation connector and mounting hardware. The mobile DVR (MDVR), aviation extension cable and vehicle power wiring are supplied separately.

02

Installation requirements

Mount it on a firm surface in the cabin, load space or on the vehicle body, aimed at the area to cover. Run the aviation cable to the MDVR, connect 9-16 VDC vehicle power, and make sure the connector is supported and strain-relieved so vibration does not loosen it. Confirm your MDVR supports 1080p Turbo HD input.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the AE-VC253T-IT

Q.01

What is the AE-VC253T-IT designed for?

It is a mobile camera made for vehicles such as buses, trucks, vans and fleet machinery. A rugged metal body, a 4-pin aviation connector and an IP68 rating let it handle constant vibration, dust and water inside or on a moving vehicle.
Q.02

Does it connect to an NVR like an IP camera?

No. It is an analog Turbo HD (TVI) camera, so it sends its video over the aviation cable to a mobile DVR (MDVR) built for vehicles, not to a network NVR. Match it to an MDVR that supports 1080p Turbo HD input.
Q.03

What is the aviation plug for?

The 4-pin aviation connector carries the video and power in one locking plug that resists the vibration of a moving vehicle far better than ordinary connectors. The pinout is video, power and ground, with one pin unused.
Q.04

How far does the night vision reach?

Built-in infrared covers up to 15 m, which suits a cabin, load space or the area immediately around the vehicle. In infrared the picture is black-and-white. It is intended for near-field mobile monitoring rather than long-distance views.
Q.05

Will it survive heat, cold and rough roads?

Yes. It has an IP68 metal housing for dust and water and operates from -40 to 75 degrees C, so it copes with the temperature swings and vibration of Australian transport and fleet use.
Q.06

How is it powered?

It runs on a 9 to 16 VDC vehicle supply and draws a maximum of 2.5 W, so it connects to standard vehicle power and to the MDVR through the aviation cable without a separate power brick.
Q.07

Which lens should I choose?

The 2.1 mm lens gives a wide view for a bus or van cabin, while the 2.8 mm lens is a little tighter for a more focused angle such as a doorway or rear view. Choose the lens to suit the space you are covering.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

01

Build the vehicle set

Add more mobile cameras such as the AE-VC224T-IT conch camera or the AE-VC211T-IRS mobile camera to cover the cabin, doors and rear of the same vehicle.

02

Cover an IP mobile site

Where you run a network rather than analog, the DS-2XM6522G1 mobile IP camera is an alternative for vehicle use.
