VIP Vision Surveillance Camera & Cable Tester VSTEST101

Description

High-Performance Field Testing for Faster Commissioning

Built for busy installation environments, the VIP Vision VSTEST101 gives electricians and security technicians a powerful handheld testing solution to speed up camera setup and troubleshooting. With a 4.0″ IPS display and intuitive QWERTY flip keyboard, you can view live video, adjust camera settings, and confirm system performance on-site without needing additional tools.

It supports IP, HDCVI, AHD, TVI, and analogue camera formats, making it ideal for mixed-system installations. Real-time video decoding up to 8MP (H.265 support) ensures clear image verification during commissioning, while PTZ control and 8x digital zoom help fine-tune camera positioning quickly and accurately.

From camera discovery to live playback and recording, this tester reduces guesswork and helps get jobs signed off faster—especially on large residential, commercial, or multi-camera projects.

Reliable Diagnostics with Full Network & Compliance Testing

The VSTEST101 is more than a camera tester—it’s a full diagnostic toolkit for modern surveillance networks. With dual 10/100/1000M RJ45 ports, RS485 control, and ONVIF/RTSP support, it ensures full compatibility across IP camera systems commonly used on Australian job sites.

Built-in tools like Ethernet link testing, IP scanning, ping tests, and DHCP server functions allow quick network validation before system commissioning. It also supports PoE (802.3af/at) testing, helping verify power delivery and detect voltage issues early—reducing call-backs and installation faults.

For coaxial systems, it supports TDR cable testing and analog video generation, giving installers confidence in both legacy and modern infrastructure. Combined with multi-protocol PTZ control and RS485 diagnostics, it ensures compliance and system reliability across diverse installations.

Trade-Ready Convenience Built for Real Job Sites

Designed with electricians and security installers in mind, the VSTEST101 combines portability, durability, and long runtime for demanding site conditions. The built-in 3000mAh battery delivers up to 10 hours of operation, with fast 3–4 hour charging to keep downtime minimal.

The compact 190 x 113 x 37mm design and 1.6kg weight make it easy to carry between installations, while dual LED flashlights improve visibility in switchrooms, ceilings, and low-light environments.

With built-in 8GB storage, firmware update capability, and onboard tools like a multimeter, audio recorder, and RS485 data monitor, this tester reduces the need for multiple devices on site—streamlining workflow and improving productivity.
