Handheld CCTV tester promising fast, on-site verification and network diagnostics for security installers. Gain confidence while commissioning or fault-finding with clear video previews and cable tests. Is the Focket CCTV Tester IPC-9800 Plus the right companion for daily site work?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Image Quality: Supports 4K video display and genuine camera resolution preview on a 7 inch 1280x800 IPS touch screen, with H.264 and H.265 decoding
- • Best for: Security installers and field technicians who need fast verification of IP and analogue cameras
- • Not ideal for: Users who require full laboratory-level measurements and certified laboratory reporting
7 inch IPS touch screen shows live camera images with H.264/H.265 decoding. Simultaneous IP and CVBS testing plus RJ45 TDR and PoE support makes on-site fault-finding practical.
Rapid camera discovery - with auto network scan and one-key detection
Automatic IP discovery scans the whole network segment and can auto-modify the tester IP address, while one-key rapid video will attempt auto login and display camera streams. H.264 and H.265 decoding allows modern streams to be viewed natively.
Save time locating cameras on busy networks and get immediate live images for verification and alignment.
Simultaneous analogue and IP testing - thanks to dual-window converter testing
Dual test windows support IP and CVBS side by side, and converter testing allows analogue feeds to be checked alongside digital streams, with support for resolutions up to 2592x1520 and PTZ control.
Work on mixed systems without swapping tools, quickly confirm conversions and verify PTZ functions during commissioning.
Cable and network diagnostics on site - with RJ45 TDR and traffic monitoring
RJ45 TDR tests report pair status, cable length, attenuation, reflectivity, impedance and skew; LAN port traffic monitoring shows real-time upload and download speeds and other network parameters.
Pinpoint cabling faults and assess link performance on the spot, reducing repeat visits and guesswork.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Focket CCTV Tester IPC-9800 Plus
