101AV 23.6 in 5MP Super HD-TVI/AHD/CVI Security Monitor - True Coax

In this review the 101AV 23.6 in 5MP Super HD security monitor is evaluated for professional surveillance setups that need true coax-to-monitor clarity. The bottom line: this unit is for installers and businesses that require a dedicated high-resolution display that preserves camera detail without additional conversion. Its biggest strength is the ability to accept up to 5MP Super HD video over a single coax run and display it natively, which keeps images sharp and avoids the blur or artifacts that often arrive after recorder or converter processing.

Key Features

• Super HD 5MP display: The 23.6 in panel supports up to 2592x1944, delivering much clearer detail than standard BNC monitors for identification and evidence review.
• Direct BNC input support: Two Super HD BNC inputs accept camera signals directly over coax so the monitor can show original camera quality without DVR conversion artifacts.
• Multiple outputs: Two BNC video outputs allow a second monitor to be placed elsewhere, enabling multi-room monitoring from the same feed up to long cable runs.
• HDMI input: One HDMI port provides flexible connection to DVRs, NVRs or PCs for mixed-system environments and easy source switching.
• Preserves image integrity: Designed to avoid pixelation or compression-induced distortion, the monitor keeps recorded or live feeds looking as intended for surveillance use.
• 24/7 professional design: Built for continuous operation in commercial security environments and backed by vendor support channels.

Who It's For

The 101AV 23.6 in monitor is best for security integrators, small business owners, and property managers who run Super HD-TVI, HD-AHD or HD-CVI cameras and want to view full-resolution video directly on a display. It is particularly useful where image clarity for identification is critical and where multiple viewing locations are needed via BNC outputs.

It is less appropriate for casual home users who only need a simple consumer TV or for installations that rely solely on network IP cameras; those buyers should consider standard HDMI/PC monitors or IP-focused displays instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Native Super HD 5MP BNC support preserves fine detail from modern analog HD cameras.

Cons

• Not optimized for IP-only camera systems where network switching and PoE are primary needs.
• Physical installation may require run lengths and BNC cabling planning for large sites.
