Product SKU: AE-VC236T-1MM
Product Overview
The Hikvision AE-VC236T-1MM is a 2MP low-illumination BSD square camera designed for compatible onboard vehicle surveillance systems where extremely wide coverage is required. Its 1 mm fixed fisheye lens provides a 202° ±5° horizontal and 123° ±5° vertical field of view, making it particularly useful for monitoring broad blind-spot areas close to a vehicle. The camera captures 1920 × 1080 video from a 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor and supports HDTVI coaxial output through an aviation plug. Minimum illumination is rated at 0.01 lux at F1.2 with AGC enabled, while the metal enclosure carries IP68, IP69K and IK10 protection ratings. With a 9 to 16 V DC supply range and a stated -40°C to 75°C operating range, the AE-VC236T-1MM is built for demanding mobile installations where wide-angle visibility and environmental durability are key priorities.
Key Capabilities
202° Fisheye Coverage
The 1 mm lens provides an exceptionally wide 202° horizontal field of view, helping the camera cover areas beside or around a vehicle that would require multiple narrower-view cameras in some installations.
2MP 1080p Vehicle Video
A 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor delivers 1920 × 1080 imaging, providing HD video for compatible mobile surveillance systems where broad situational awareness is required.
Low-Light Colour Imaging
Minimum illumination of 0.01 lux at F1.2 with AGC on helps maintain usable colour video in low-light conditions where some ambient lighting remains available.
Rugged Exterior Protection
IP68 and IP69K protection combined with an IK10 impact rating makes the metal-bodied camera suitable for exposed onboard mounting positions subject to water, dust and physical impact.
HDTVI Aviation Output
The camera provides one coaxial HD output conforming to HDTVI through an aviation plug, supporting integration with compatible Hikvision onboard analogue recording equipment.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
A specified -40°C to 75°C operating range supports installations exposed to significant temperature changes in vehicle and outdoor operating environments.
Best For
- Vehicle Blind-Spot Coverage: The ultra-wide fisheye view is particularly useful for observing broad areas beside or close to commercial vehicles.
- Trucks and Heavy Vehicles: Rugged environmental protection suits exposed exterior mounting where cameras may encounter water, dust and impact.
- Buses and Fleet Vehicles: Suitable for compatible mobile surveillance systems needing broad situational awareness from a single fixed camera position.
- Low-Light Vehicle Environments: Useful where colour video is required in areas with limited but available ambient illumination.
- Wide Near-Field Monitoring: Best suited to broad close-range coverage rather than narrow, long-distance identification.
Why Choose the AE-VC236T-1MM
The main reason to choose the AE-VC236T-1MM is its unusually broad 202° horizontal field of view. A conventional fixed camera can leave significant areas outside its view when mounted on a vehicle, whereas the 1 mm fisheye lens is intended to capture a much wider surrounding area from a single position. The rugged IP68, IP69K and IK10 construction also makes the camera a stronger choice for exposed mobile applications than equipment intended only for protected indoor mounting. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model is best suited to compatible HDTVI onboard systems where wide blind-spot awareness is more important than narrow long-distance viewing or audio functionality.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The 1 mm fisheye lens prioritises extremely wide coverage. Choose this camera for broad awareness around the vehicle rather than applications where a narrower field of view and concentrated long-distance detail are more important.
Buyer Tip: Confirm recorder and connector compatibility before purchase. The AE-VC236T-1MM uses HDTVI coaxial video through an aviation plug and should be matched to compatible onboard recording equipment and the correct interface pin configuration.

Ideal Use Cases
Truck Blind Spots
The 202° horizontal fisheye view can cover broad areas alongside a vehicle where conventional fixed cameras may leave larger gaps in visibility.
Bus and Coach Sides
Useful for wide exterior views where operators need visibility across a large area close to the side of the vehicle.
Commercial Fleet Vehicles
Suitable for compatible onboard recording systems requiring a rugged camera for exposed exterior mounting positions.
Wide Rear or Side Awareness
The fisheye lens is useful where a single camera needs to observe a broad surrounding zone rather than a narrow corridor of view.
Exposed Vehicle Mounting
IP68, IP69K and IK10 ratings suit mounting locations exposed to harsh weather, wash-down conditions and physical impact.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a very wide fixed view around a vehicle, 1080p HDTVI video, low-light colour imaging and a rugged IP68/IP69K/IK10 enclosure.
- Choose a narrower-lens camera if: Your priority is concentrating more image detail on a smaller, more distant area rather than covering a very broad near-field zone.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires built-in audio, integrated illumination or an interface other than the specified HDTVI aviation-plug output.
FAQs
- Is the Hikvision AE-VC236T-1MM suitable for vehicle blind-spot monitoring?
Yes. The AE-VC236T-1MM is positioned as a BSD camera and its 1 mm fisheye lens provides a very wide 202° horizontal field of view, making it well suited to broad coverage around a vehicle. Its fixed view is designed for awareness across a wide area rather than narrow, long-distance identification, so installation position should be chosen around the blind-spot zone that needs to be observed. - What resolution does the AE-VC236T-1MM provide?
The AE-VC236T-1MM provides 1920 × 1080 resolution from a 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor. It outputs HD video over coaxial HDTVI and operates at 1080p at 30 fps by default, with 1080p at 25 fps also supported. This combination is intended for compatible onboard analogue surveillance systems that need a wide vehicle-mounted view. - How wide is the field of view on the AE-VC236T-1MM?
The 1 mm fixed fisheye lens provides a horizontal field of view of 202° ±5° and a vertical field of view of 123° ±5°. This extremely wide coverage is the key reason to choose the AE-VC236T-1MM when a vehicle installation needs to see a broad area close to the camera rather than concentrate on a narrow distant scene. - How does the AE-VC236T-1MM perform in low light?
The AE-VC236T-1MM is specified down to 0.01 lux at F1.2 with AGC on. This makes it suitable for low-light vehicle surveillance where some ambient light is available. It is a colour camera and the supplied specification does not state built-in infrared or white-light illumination, so the installation should not assume the camera provides its own night lighting. - Is the AE-VC236T-1MM suitable for exposed exterior vehicle mounting?
Yes. The camera is rated IP68 and IP69K for water and dust protection and IK10 for impact resistance. Its metal body and stated -40°C to 75°C operating range also suit demanding onboard environments. When supplied by Security Wholesalers, installation should still use the correct mounting location and connector protection appropriate to the vehicle and intended exposure. - Does the AE-VC236T-1MM have a microphone or speaker?
No. The AE-VC236T-1MM does not include a built-in microphone or built-in speaker. It should therefore be selected for video coverage rather than audio capture or two-way communication. If audio is required in the overall onboard system, it needs to be provided by other compatible equipment that specifically supports that function. - What video connection does the AE-VC236T-1MM use?
The AE-VC236T-1MM provides one coaxial HD video output conforming to HDTVI and uses a 1 Vpp composite output through an aviation plug. Because its interface is intended for compatible onboard analogue equipment, confirm the recorder input and pin configuration before installation rather than assuming compatibility with any analogue recorder. - What should I consider before choosing the AE-VC236T-1MM?
Choose the AE-VC236T-1MM when you need a very wide fixed view, 1080p onboard video, low-light performance and a rugged exterior-rated housing. Its 1 mm fisheye lens prioritises broad near-field coverage rather than narrow long-distance detail. Also confirm that the recorder accepts the camera’s HDTVI aviation-plug output and that the available 9 to 16 V DC supply suits the installation.
