Product SKU: AE-VC143T-ITS
Product Overview
The Hikvision AE-VC143T-ITS is a compact 720P mobile analogue vehicle camera designed for on-board surveillance where broad nearby coverage, audio recording and short-range night vision are required. Its Progressive Scan CMOS sensor delivers 1280 × 720 video at 25 fps through a TVI output, while the fixed 2.1 mm lens provides an exceptionally wide 125° horizontal field of view for monitoring passenger areas, vehicle cabins and entry zones. Integrated infrared illumination reaches up to 5 metres, allowing operation at 0 Lux with IR active, and the built-in microphone captures audio alongside video through the vehicle connection. A shock-resistant design, compact cylindrical housing, low power requirement and operating range from -40°C to 75°C make the AE-VC143T-ITS well suited to compatible mobile DVR and vehicle surveillance installations.
Key Capabilities
Wide 720P Vehicle Coverage
The 1280 × 720 image and very wide 2.1 mm lens are designed for nearby scene coverage inside a vehicle. This is useful where one compact camera needs to observe passengers, a cabin area or a vehicle entry point rather than concentrate on a narrow distant target.
125° Horizontal Field of View
The fixed 2.1 mm lens provides a 125° horizontal, 80° vertical and 148° diagonal field of view. This broad perspective helps reduce blind areas in tight vehicle interiors, where a conventional narrower lens may show only a small section of the cabin.
5 m Infrared Night Vision
Integrated infrared illumination provides night coverage up to 5 metres, with the camera rated at 0 Lux when IR is active. This short-range design is suited to nearby interiors and vehicle entry zones rather than long-distance external surveillance.
Built-In Microphone
The integrated microphone allows compatible vehicle recorders to capture audio from the same position as the video. This is useful for passenger-area and cabin monitoring where sound forms part of the required recording evidence.
Vehicle-Oriented Power and Connectivity
The current specification lists a 9–16 V DC input with maximum power consumption of 2 W. Video, audio and power are carried through the vehicle-oriented connector arrangement, helping simplify installation with a compatible mobile recorder.
Designed for Mobile Environments
A compact cylindrical body, shock-resistant design and broad -40°C to 75°C operating range suit mobile surveillance equipment exposed to changing vehicle temperatures and vibration during normal operation.
Best For
- Passenger cabins: The wide 2.1 mm lens covers a broad nearby interior area from a compact mounting position.
- Vehicle entry zones: Wide coverage and 5 metre IR are useful around doors and passenger boarding areas.
- Taxis and commercial vehicles: Integrated audio and compact dimensions suit on-board recording systems where cabin activity needs to be captured.
- Buses and fleet vehicles: Designed to work with compatible mobile recording equipment in vehicle surveillance installations.
- Low-light vehicle interiors: Electronic day/night operation and short-range IR provide recording when ambient cabin lighting is limited.
Why Choose the AE-VC143T-ITS
The AE-VC143T-ITS is designed for a different job from a conventional building CCTV camera. Its extremely wide 2.1 mm lens prioritises coverage of a nearby vehicle interior, while integrated 5 metre IR allows the same area to remain visible after cabin lighting falls. The built-in microphone means a compatible recorder can capture sound without installing a separate microphone, and the 9–16 V DC power range and vehicle-style connection are suited to mobile recording equipment. Supplied by Security Wholesalers, this model is particularly useful where a compatible Hikvision mobile DVR needs a compact 720P analogue camera for passenger areas, cabins or entry zones and long-distance exterior detail is not the primary requirement.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm recorder compatibility before ordering. The AE-VC143T-ITS is a 720P TVI analogue vehicle camera rather than an IP camera, so the mobile recorder needs to support the camera’s video format, power requirements and applicable vehicle connector configuration.
Buyer Tip: The 2.1 mm lens is intentionally very wide. It is well suited to nearby passenger and cabin coverage but is not intended to provide the same distant identification detail as a narrower lens. Position the camera around the interior area that must remain visible rather than expecting long-range exterior performance.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the AE-VC143T-ITS if: You need a compact 720P TVI vehicle camera with a very wide 2.1 mm view, built-in microphone and short-range 5 metre IR.
- Choose a narrower-lens vehicle camera if: The main requirement is more detail on a smaller or more distant area rather than broad interior coverage.
- Choose an IP mobile camera if: The vehicle recorder is designed around network cameras rather than TVI analogue video inputs.
FAQs
- Is the Hikvision AE-VC143T-ITS designed for vehicle surveillance?
Yes. The AE-VC143T-ITS is a compact mobile analogue camera designed for on-board video applications. It uses a Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, 720P HD-TVI output, a shock-proof design and a compact cylindrical body suited to vehicle installations. Its wide 2.1 mm lens and 5 metre infrared range make it particularly useful for nearby cabin, passenger-area and entry-zone monitoring rather than long-distance exterior surveillance.
- What viewing angle does the 2.1 mm lens provide?
The fixed 2.1 mm lens provides a very wide 125° horizontal, 80° vertical and 148° diagonal field of view. This makes the AE-VC143T-ITS useful where one compact camera needs to observe a broad nearby area inside a vehicle. The wide lens prioritises scene coverage over distant identification, so camera position should be selected around the cabin, doorway or passenger area that needs to remain visible.
- How far does the infrared night vision reach?
The AE-VC143T-ITS has a specified infrared range of up to 5 metres. It is rated at 0.1 Lux at F1.2 with AGC enabled and 0 Lux with IR active. This short-range illumination suits nearby vehicle interiors and entry areas rather than long-range external surveillance. Actual usable detail still depends on camera placement, reflective surfaces, subject distance and the lighting conditions inside the vehicle.
- Does the AE-VC143T-ITS have a built-in microphone?
Yes. The AE-VC143T-ITS includes a built-in microphone and carries audio through its combined vehicle connector. The current Hikvision specification lists audio support but no built-in speaker, so the camera should be described as providing integrated audio capture rather than two-way audio. This is useful where the vehicle recorder needs both video and cabin sound from the same camera position.
- What video signal does the AE-VC143T-ITS output?
The current Hikvision specification lists TVI video output at 720P and 25 fps. This means the AE-VC143T-ITS is an analogue HD vehicle camera rather than an IP network camera. It should be paired with a compatible mobile recorder that supports the required TVI signal, connector arrangement and camera power. Compatibility should be confirmed before replacing an existing analogue vehicle camera.
- What power supply does the AE-VC143T-ITS require?
The current Hikvision specification lists a 9 to 16 V DC power input with maximum consumption of 2 W. This voltage range is suited to vehicle-oriented installations when used with the correct compatible recorder or regulated supply. When planning the camera through Security Wholesalers, confirm the recorder output, connector type and cable arrangement so power, video and audio are all matched correctly.
- What temperatures can the AE-VC143T-ITS operate in?
The current Hikvision specification lists startup and operating conditions from -40°C to 75°C with up to 90% relative humidity. This broad range is useful for on-board equipment exposed to changing cabin and vehicle temperatures. The camera has no published IP weather-protection rating, so the complete installation should still keep it within the environmental conditions intended by the vehicle system.
- Who should choose the Hikvision AE-VC143T-ITS?
Choose the AE-VC143T-ITS when a compatible mobile recorder needs a compact 720P analogue camera with a very wide 2.1 mm lens, built-in microphone and 5 metre infrared illumination. It is particularly suited to interior vehicle monitoring, passenger areas and entry zones where nearby coverage matters more than long-distance detail. Confirm recorder compatibility, connector type and cable length before ordering.
