Welcome to CCTV Camera Pros video product review.  In this product review, we will feature our four inch portable CCTV test monitor which is used by installers while mounting and focusing CCTV cameras in the field.  This product makes it very convenient for one installer to mount and focus a camera without the need of a second installer watching a monitor.  On our test bench, we have all of the parts that come inside the box of this product along with an security camera that we will test with.You can see here that the monitor comes in a leather case with two arm straps.
The top of the monitor has the BNC video inputs for video and RCA for audio.

Here we setup the sun visor, which helps with outdoor camera testing by protecting the screen from  sunlight glare.

The power supply that is included is used to charge the rechargeable batteries that are already installed in the service monitor.

A carrying strap is also included so that this portable monitor can be slung over your shoulder.  The strap attaches to the loops on the sides of the carrying case.

We will now connect the camera to the test monitor for a video test.

The installer connects the video output of a CCTV camera to the BNC input of the service monitor, then switches the monitor power on.

In a few seconds the video out put from our camera will appear on the 4.2 inch screen.

You can see here the the display quality on the monitor is excellent and responds in real time.

Here we demonstrate mounting the test monitor to our installers forearm.

We hope that you have found this product demonstration helpful.  If you have any questions about this service and test monitor or any product related to video surveillance and CCTV cameras, please contact CCTV Camera Pros by visiting our website at www.cctvcamerapros.com.

Welcome to CCTV Camera Pros product review video series.  During this product review, we will feature our two and a half inch CCTV test monitor which is used by installers while mounting and focusing CCTV cameras in the field.  This product makes it very convenient for one installer to mount and focus a camera without the need of a second installer watching a monitor.  On our test bench, we have all of the parts that come inside the box of this product along with an security camera that we will test with.

The cable is capable of connecting to CCTV cameras with either RCA or BNC video connectors.  A BNC connector is included.

CCTV Test Monitor

A CCTV test monitor is a device commonly used by CCTV installers and electricians during surveillance system installations when they need to mount, test, and focus a security camera.  CCTV test monitors, also known as portable CCTV monitors are incredibly convenient because they enable one installer to perform the camera mount and focus.  Typically, and without the use of a test monitor, mounting and focusing a surveillance camera requires two installers: one to adjust the camera and the other to be watching a monitor back at the location of the recorder.  Furthermore, it is always a challenge for the two installers to communicate with each other because the DVR and the camera being mounted are typically not in the same room, so many installers rely on cell phone communication when mounting and back focusing cameras.

There are many test monitors available on the market and as with any electronic device, some are built better and perform better than others.  Below are two models that we have tested and found to perform very well that are supplied by CCTV Camera Pros and range in price from $129.99 to $299.99.  Both of these products are available for purchase on this page: Portable CCTV test & service monitors.
