Product Overview
Built specifically for vehicle-mounted surveillance, the AE-VC211T-IRS is a compact 1080P analogue dome-style camera engineered to handle the vibration, temperature extremes, and low-light conditions that mobile installations demand. Featuring a 2MP progressive CMOS sensor and a choice of 2.8mm or 3.6mm fixed focal lens, it captures full HD footage at 25 or 30 fps through an Aviation Port connection, making it directly compatible with mobile DVR systems used in buses, rail carriages, fleet vehicles, and heavy transport. Equipped with Smart IR up to 20 metres and an auto day and night function, it maintains usable footage after dark or in poorly lit vehicle bays. The internal 3-axis adjustment bracket allows pan, tilt, and rotation to be fine-tuned during installation without requiring an external mounting adapter. With a DC 9V to 16V power range and an operating temperature from -40°C to 60°C, the AE-VC211T-IRS is designed to run reliably across Australian conditions from alpine winters to outback summers.
Key Capabilities
1080P Resolution via Aviation Port
The camera outputs full 1080P video at 25 or 30 fps through a single Aviation Port connector, the standard interface used by mobile DVR systems in fleet and public transport applications. This simplifies cabling inside vehicle cabinets and reduces connection points.
Smart IR with 0 Lux Operation
Smart IR illumination reaches 10 to 20 metres, adapting intensity automatically to prevent overexposure at close range. At 0 Lux the sensor switches to full IR mode, covering interior cabin areas or loading zones that have no ambient lighting at night.
Internal 3-Axis Adjustment
Pan, tilt, and rotation are all adjustable internally within the camera housing, with a pan range of -30° to 30°, tilt of 0° to 75°, and full 360° rotation. Installers can precisely aim the lens at a target zone without adding external articulating brackets.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Rated from -40°C to 60°C, the AE-VC211T-IRS is built to survive the thermal demands of vehicle environments, including prolonged exposure to summer heat inside unventilated cabins or sub-zero start-up conditions in cold-climate fleet operations.
Built-in Microphone
A built-in microphone captures audio from the monitored area, such as inside a passenger cabin or at a vehicle entry point. Audio is output through the Aviation Port alongside video, providing a single-cable audio and video feed to the connected mobile DVR.
Best For
- Public Transport Cabins: The wide-angle 2.8mm lens with 101° horizontal FOV covers passenger areas inside buses or rail carriages, while the built-in microphone captures audio for incident documentation.
- Fleet Vehicle Interior Monitoring: The compact dome profile and 3-axis internal adjustment allow flush ceiling or overhead mounting inside van, truck, and coach cabins without interfering with headroom or passenger flow.
- Low-Light Vehicle Bays and Loading Docks: Smart IR to 20 metres and 0 Lux operation keep coverage consistent in poorly lit areas where vehicles are stationary overnight or during shift changes.
- Mobile DVR Systems Requiring Aviation Port Connectivity: The Aviation Port video and audio output integrates directly with mobile recording systems without the need for adapters or signal converters, simplifying the installation in vehicle equipment bays.
Why Choose the AE-VC211T-IRS
Vehicle surveillance demands hardware that a standard fixed CCTV camera is not designed to provide. The AE-VC211T-IRS is purpose-built for mobile environments, with a power input range of DC 9V to 16V that tolerates the voltage fluctuations common in 12V vehicle electrical systems, and an operating temperature ceiling of 60°C that covers interior cabin conditions during Australian summers. The Aviation Port interface eliminates the need for BNC-to-aviation adapters, keeping connections tidy and secure against vibration. The internal 3-axis adjustment lets installers lock the camera angle at fit-out without relying on external pan-tilt brackets that can loosen over time. A built-in microphone adds audio capture without a secondary device. For integrators specifying a reliable analogue HD vehicle camera for fleet, transit, or transport projects, the AE-VC211T-IRS is available through Security Wholesalers, noting that this model carries a 6 to 8 week lead time and should be factored into project scheduling accordingly.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm that your mobile DVR accepts Aviation Port analogue HD input before ordering. The AE-VC211T-IRS outputs via Aviation Port, which is standard on most mobile DVR units designed for 1080P TVI or AHD signals, but is not compatible with standard BNC-input DVRs without an adapter. Also choose between the 2.8mm lens for wider cabin coverage and the 3.6mm lens for a tighter field of view focused on a specific zone such as a driver cabin entry point.
