Overview

The Hikvision AE-VC154T-IT is a compact 720p infrared array DSM analogue camera designed for vehicle and automotive video applications. It combines a progressive scan CMOS image sensor with a 6mm lens, infrared illumination and a built-in microphone to provide clear image and audio capture in a range of lighting conditions. Its shock-proof construction and 4-pin DIN connector make it suitable for demanding in-vehicle installations.

Description

The Hikvision 720p infrared array DSM camera is designed to deliver dependable video monitoring inside or around compatible vehicles. The 1280 x 720 resolution provides useful image detail, while the 6mm field of view lens is suited to focused monitoring applications. Infrared illumination extends visibility in low-light environments, with an IR range of up to 2 metres.

The camera uses progressive scan CMOS technology for consistent image capture and supports 720p video at up to 25 frames per second. A built-in microphone adds audio capture, while the 1-way coaxial HD interface conforms to HDTVI for video and audio transmission over a compatible coaxial connection.

Its shock-proof design is particularly useful in automotive environments where vibration and movement are expected. The 4-pin DIN connector also provides a practical connection option for compatible vehicle systems.

Hikvision Automotive Camera for Low-Light Monitoring
The integrated infrared array helps the camera maintain visibility when ambient lighting is limited. This makes the AE-VC154T-IT suitable for applications where monitoring may need to continue at night or in poorly lit vehicle interiors.

The 6mm lens provides a narrower, more focused viewing angle than a wide-angle lens, making it useful where a specific area needs to be monitored rather than a broad surrounding scene. Combined with 720p resolution and progressive scan imaging, the camera provides a practical balance between image quality and system requirements.

Vehicle-Ready Construction
Built for automotive use, the camera incorporates a shock-proof design to help withstand the vibration and movement associated with vehicle installations. The compact connection arrangement also makes it suitable for integration into compatible dashboard and vehicle monitoring systems.

The built-in microphone allows audio to be captured alongside video, adding useful context to recorded footage where the connected recording or monitoring system supports audio.
