Works well. Simple to set up, no issues yet. Read more

Glad to have it. Makes setting up cameras a bit easier. Instead of making a dozen or more trips to setup correct angles or to test the Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) to ensure its working properly from outdoors at the PTZ itself. I mean up and down the ladder over a dozen times and into the house for just one camera and you can see the time savings and money right there alone. It’s capable of being used up to eight megapixel cameras. That’s pretty current of what’s the market has brought to us the consumer for personal home protection. I’m able to bring the cameras on screen menu (OSD) and setup a ton of parameter at the camera Itself. The screen is touch to get to the menu needed for any of the multitude of particular parameters for a assortment of camera types. TVI, CVI, AHD, and others plus more than thirty protocols. The instructions are good enough but could use a update for better clarification of symbols used. This one has a drop in removable battery that can be charged inside itself. Came with a ton of accessories that just enhance the capabilities because everything I need to do a camera system is pretty much in this kit. Four Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! Read more

Disclaimer: I received this Item free of cost to do an unbiased review. I am very pleased with this unit, I have put it through numerous tests over the last two weeks and it handles just about everything perfectly. The Pros: 1) Feature rich testing device that is useful for not just checking Camera systems but also great for checking/ Viewing AV equipment Via the HDMI and VGA ports on anything from a Streaming box to a Raspberry Pie. The added bonus is being able to check Ethernet Cables and confirm that they are wired properly. 2) Nice screen resolution for the size. It's crisp and clear and the Audio is loud enough for most jobs. 3) Works perfectly with PTZ camera systems I tried. First was an old Sony Camera and the Auto detect system was able to find the Channel. Movement of the Camera worked perfectly and unlike the original DVR that it was hooked up to I could actually use the 5x Zoom system on the Camera. 4) Battery life seems to be about 2-3 hours, so it's perfect for most Jobs. 5) The case is nice and it comes with all the accessories needed for CCTV, PTZ and Ethernet testing. 6) I did not think the built in LED light was going to be handy but I was so wrong about that. It's great for finding the correct cable on the back of a DVR. I was about to go get a flashlight and then remembered it had one built in :) 7) No problems using the HDMI to view video on Cable boxes or Satellite boxes, full picture and sound up to 1080P but I could not find a 4K 30 FPS signal to test it on. Anything that is 4K 60FPS and it causes the unit to drop the resolution down to 1080P. It's still very sharp picture on a screen of this size. 8) Ethernet Tester is a cut above the typical ones that you find as it indicates the speed of the wiring layout. The Cons: 1) Well the Obvious one is that there is no PPOE connection. You know that going in but this unit is so nice that I just wished it was the complete package. 2) At first I was over the moon that it had a physical switch for turning off the Device. I figured that meant almost zero battery drain when it was off. Unfortunately something is still powered as the battery still dropped a bar over a five day period of no use. 3) Finding PTZ addresses can be a bit confusing and the on screen description is worded poorly. You need to know the protocol, port type and Baud rate of the camera and once those are selected you can go to the channel and select "Scan+ or Scan- " One just increments up and the other down. Once it starts scanning just keep looking at the picture and when it starts moving by itself note the channel and then manually select that channel. Conclusion: Just a great tool to have for CCTV work and and kind of Video work in the field. Everything feels solid and the controls and picture quality are great. Read more
