Product Overview
Built for Hikvision mobile and vehicle surveillance setups, the MC0201-4 is a 4-metre extended analog aviation cable designed to connect compatible mobile cameras to recording or transmission equipment. The 4-pin aviation-style connector provides a secure, positive-lock interface suited to the vibration and movement conditions typical of in-vehicle installations. Featuring analog signal transmission, this cable is a direct extension solution for installations where the standard cable run falls short, such as larger commercial vehicles, coaches, or trucks where the camera and recorder are positioned further apart. Supplied with a 3-year warranty, it is a practical spare or upgrade component for any Hikvision mobile camera deployment requiring additional cable reach.
Key Capabilities
4-Pin Aviation Connector
The positive-locking aviation-style connector resists accidental disconnection, making it well suited to vehicle environments where vibration and movement are constant factors during operation.
4-Metre Extended Length
At 4 metres, this cable provides the additional reach needed for larger vehicles such as buses, trucks, or coaches where standard cable lengths between the camera and recorder are insufficient.
Analog Signal Transmission
Designed for analog video transmission, this cable is directly compatible with Hikvision’s mobile camera product range, ensuring signal integrity across the extended cable run.
3-Year Warranty Coverage
Backed by a 3-year warranty, this cable is a long-term installation component rather than a temporary workaround, giving installers confidence in the connection over the service life of the vehicle system.
Best For
- Large Vehicle Installations: The 4-metre length addresses the longer camera-to-recorder distances found in buses, coaches, trucks, and other large commercial vehicles.
- Hikvision Mobile Camera Systems: Designed specifically as an extension cable for compatible Hikvision mobile analog camera setups using 4-pin aviation connectors.
- Replacement and Spare Stock: A practical spare for fleet operators and installers who need a ready replacement cable to minimise vehicle downtime in the event of cable damage.
Why Choose the MC0201-4
The AE-MC0201-4 is the purpose-built extension cable for Hikvision mobile surveillance systems, not a generic substitute. Its 4-pin aviation connector is matched to the locking interface used across Hikvision’s mobile camera range, which means there is no risk of connector incompatibility or signal degradation from using an unmatched cable. At 4 metres, it suits the practical distances involved in transit and freight vehicle builds where camera placement at the rear or sides can be a significant distance from the cab-mounted recorder. A generic coaxial cable with an improvised connector cannot replicate the secure locking engagement of the aviation fitting in a vibration-prone vehicle environment. Available through Security Wholesalers, this cable is supplied with a 3-year warranty, making it appropriate for professional fleet installations where long-term reliability is expected.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Before ordering, confirm that your Hikvision mobile camera uses a 4-pin aviation connector. Hikvision’s mobile camera range includes models with different pin counts depending on whether they carry video only or video plus power or audio. Using the wrong pin configuration will result in an incompatible fit. Check your camera’s product documentation or existing cable connector to verify the 4-pin specification before purchasing.

Ideal Use Cases
Bus and Coach Fleets
The 4-metre length suits the extended distances between rear-mounted cameras and cab or underfloor recorders common in passenger transport vehicles.
Heavy Commercial Vehicles
Trucks and freight vehicles with cameras positioned at the trailer, sides, or front require extended cable runs that standard-length cables cannot cover.
Fleet Maintenance and Replacement
Fleet operators can stock this cable as a direct replacement component, reducing downtime when a cable is damaged or needs to be replaced during routine servicing.
Professional Mobile CCTV Installers
Installers working across multiple vehicle types benefit from having the correct Hikvision-specified 4-pin aviation cable on hand for clean, warranty-backed installations.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your Hikvision mobile camera uses a 4-pin aviation connector and you need a 4-metre extension to bridge the distance between the camera and the recorder in a large vehicle installation.
- Choose a different model if: Your mobile camera uses a different pin count (such as 6-pin or 8-pin) for combined video, power, and audio, as this 4-pin cable will not be physically compatible with those connectors.
FAQs
- What signal type does this cable carry?
This cable is designed for analog video transmission. It is intended for use with Hikvision mobile cameras that output an analog signal via a 4-pin aviation connector. It is not designed for IP or digital signal transmission.
- Is this cable compatible with all Hikvision mobile cameras?
It is compatible with Hikvision mobile cameras that use a 4-pin aviation connector for analog video. Hikvision’s mobile range includes cameras with varying pin counts, so you should verify your camera’s connector specification before purchasing. Using a mismatched connector will result in an incompatible fit.
- Why is an aviation-style connector used in vehicle cameras?
Aviation connectors feature a positive-locking mechanism that resists vibration and accidental disconnection. In vehicle installations, cables are subject to constant movement, road vibration, and temperature cycling. The locking design of the aviation connector keeps the connection secure under these conditions, which a standard push-fit connector would not reliably achieve.
- What is the warranty on this cable?
This cable is supplied with a 3-year warranty. This reflects its intended use as a long-term installation component in professional mobile surveillance systems rather than a temporary solution. The warranty is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the standard Hikvision product terms.
- Can this cable be used to connect a mobile camera to a standard fixed CCTV recorder?
This cable is specifically designed for Hikvision’s mobile camera range with 4-pin aviation connectors. Whether it can interface with a fixed recorder depends entirely on whether that recorder has a compatible aviation connector input. Most standard fixed NVRs or DVRs do not use aviation connectors, so this cable is best suited to Hikvision mobile recording systems.
