Product Overview
Installers working with Hikvision mobile and vehicle camera systems will recognise the 4-pin aviation connector as the standard interface used across the Hikvision mobile DVR camera range. This 16m 4-pin aviation cable provides the extended cable run needed when routing from a vehicle-mounted camera back to a mobile recorder, covering larger vehicles such as buses, trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment where a shorter cable simply will not reach. Featuring the locking aviation-style plug at each end, it maintains a secure, vibration-resistant connection suited to the demands of in-vehicle use. With a 16-metre length, this cable gives installers the flexibility to route cabling cleanly through a vehicle cabin, under panels, or along chassis runs without splicing. It is suited to any Hikvision vehicle camera installation where the standard supplied cable length is insufficient for the vehicle size or routing path.
Key Capabilities
16m Extended Cable Run
At 16 metres, this cable covers the full length of larger commercial vehicles, buses, and trucks, allowing cameras to be positioned at the rear or sides of the vehicle without the need for cable extensions or joins that can introduce signal or power issues.
4-Pin Aviation Connector
The locking 4-pin aviation plug is the standard connector type used across the Hikvision mobile camera range. It carries both power and video signal through a single cable, simplifying installation and reducing the number of cable runs required per camera.
Vibration-Resistant Locking Design
The aviation-style locking connector is designed for environments subject to constant vibration and movement. This makes it suited to vehicle installations where a standard push-fit connector would risk loosening over time due to road vibration and vehicle flex.
Clean Single-Cable Routing
Combining power and video in a single 4-pin cable reduces the number of individual cable runs to manage during installation. This simplifies routing through door seals, along chassis rails, and under interior trim panels on commercial vehicles.
Best For
- Large Commercial Vehicles: Buses, coaches, trucks, and heavy equipment where the standard supplied cable length does not reach from the camera mounting point back to the mobile recorder.
- Rear and Side Camera Positions: Vehicles requiring cameras at the rear or along the side body where routing distance exceeds what a shorter cable can cover without joins.
- Hikvision Mobile DVR Installations: Any installation using Hikvision mobile cameras with the standard 4-pin aviation connector interface, where a replacement or additional-length cable is required.
Why Choose the 16m 4 Pin Aviation Cable
When a vehicle camera installation requires more cable reach than the factory-supplied lead provides, using a purpose-made 16m aviation cable is the correct approach rather than splicing or extending the original. This cable uses the same locking 4-pin aviation connector as the Hikvision mobile camera range, ensuring a direct, secure fit without adapters. The 16-metre length is specifically suited to longer vehicles and more complex routing paths where the camera must be positioned well away from the recorder location. Using a matched connector type also protects the integrity of the power and video signal over the full cable length. Available at Security Wholesalers, this cable is a practical stocking item for any installer regularly working on fleet or commercial vehicle camera projects using Hikvision mobile DVR systems.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Before ordering, confirm that the cameras in your Hikvision mobile installation use the 4-pin aviation connector. Some Hikvision mobile camera models use different connector types or pin counts. Matching the connector type to your specific camera model avoids compatibility issues on the vehicle. If the standard supplied cable already covers your routing distance, a shorter cable may reduce excess cabling to manage inside the vehicle.

Ideal Use Cases
Bus and Coach Installations
The 16-metre length is suited to full-length coaches and articulated buses where rear or interior cameras must route back along the full length of the vehicle to the recorder position, well beyond what a standard 5 or 6 metre cable can cover.
Heavy Trucks and Trailers
Rigid trucks and semi-trailers require longer cable runs to position cameras at the rear of the trailer. The 16m aviation cable provides the reach needed without requiring mid-run joins that introduce potential failure points in a high-vibration environment.
Fleet Vehicle Upgrades
Fleet operators upgrading or replacing Hikvision mobile camera cables across multiple vehicles benefit from stocking the 16m aviation cable as a consistent replacement length, reducing the need to carry multiple different cable lengths on hand.
Complex Interior Cable Routing
Vehicles requiring cabling to be routed through door seals, under floor panels, or along chassis rails often need additional cable length to allow for a tidy, concealed run. The 16m length provides enough slack to route cleanly without leaving exposed joins.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your Hikvision mobile camera installation involves a large vehicle such as a bus, truck, or trailer where the routing distance from camera to recorder exceeds the length of the standard supplied cable, and your cameras use the 4-pin aviation connector.
- Choose a different model if: Your cameras use a different connector type or a different pin count – confirm the connector specification of your camera model before ordering. If your vehicle is smaller and the routing distance is short, a shorter aviation cable may be more appropriate to avoid managing excess cable runs inside the vehicle.
FAQs
- What vehicles is this 16m aviation cable suited to?
It is suited to larger commercial vehicles where a standard cable length is insufficient. Buses, full-size coaches, rigid trucks, semi-trailers, and heavy equipment are the most common applications. For smaller vehicles such as vans or utes, a shorter aviation cable may be more practical to avoid excess cable to manage inside the cabin.
- Does this cable carry both power and video signal?
Yes. The 4-pin aviation connector used in the Hikvision mobile camera range carries both power and video through a single cable. This means only one cable run per camera is required, which simplifies routing through panels and along chassis members on commercial vehicles.
- Will this cable work with all Hikvision mobile cameras?
This cable is compatible with Hikvision mobile cameras that use the 4-pin aviation connector. Not all Hikvision mobile cameras use the same connector type or pin count, so you should confirm your specific camera model uses a 4-pin aviation interface before ordering. Using a cable with an incorrect pin count will not provide a working connection.
- Why use an aviation connector rather than a standard BNC or RJ45 connector for vehicle cameras?
The locking aviation connector is designed to resist vibration and accidental disconnection, which is a genuine concern in vehicle installations. Unlike a standard push-fit connector, the aviation plug locks into place mechanically, maintaining a stable connection even on rough roads or with constant engine and chassis vibration over time.
- Where can I purchase this cable and is it stocked for installer use?
The 16m 4-pin aviation cable is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is available for installer and trade purchase. It is a practical stocking item for mobile vehicle camera installers who regularly work on fleet projects using Hikvision mobile DVR systems and need extended cable lengths on hand.
