ETEKJOY IPC-9800ADHS-Plus CCTV Camera Tester - 7in IPS Touch Monitor

Our review of the ETEKJOY IPC-9800ADHS-Plus finds it best suited for technicians and integrators who need one portable device to test both IP and analog CCTV systems. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of a responsive 7 in IPS touch screen with wide protocol support - including H.265, HD-TVI, AHD, CVI, SDI and 8K IP playback - which lets a single technician verify camera feeds, power, and network links on site without hauling multiple testers.

Key Features

• 7 in IPS touch display: A 1280x800 screen gives a clear, capacitive touch interface for live viewing, menu control and framing while testing cameras in the field.
• Multi-format video support: Native support for H.265/H.264, HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and SDI lets the unit display and record both modern IP and legacy analog signals for compatibility across installations.
• IP and analog dual window: Dual-window testing enables comparing an IP camera and an analog feed or HDMI input side by side for fast troubleshooting and configuration checks.
• Network and cable tools: Built-in RJ45 TDR and UTP cable tests report pair status, length and other parameters while IP discovery and DHCP server simplify network setup and verification.
• Power and connectivity: Onboard DC12V and DC48V PoE++ output supplies cameras on site and the HDMI input/output plus WIFI hotspot and 8G TF recording enable flexible recording and remote display.

Who It's For

The tester is aimed at CCTV installers, service technicians and security integrators who need an all-in-one handheld tester capable of handling both legacy analog and modern IP cameras. It is especially useful when working across mixed fleets where verifying coax signals, PTZ control and IP streams from one device saves time.

Casual users or home hobbyists who only need a simple BNC monitor or a single-format tester may find the IPC-9800ADHS-Plus more feature-rich and expensive than necessary; likewise, those who require specialized cable tracing hardware that this model does not support should consider a dedicated cable tracer alongside this tester.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Wide codec and format coverage including H.265 and 8K IP playback for future-proof testing.
• Integrated RJ45 TDR and UTP diagnostics combined with IP discovery streamline network checks on site.
• HDMI in/out and dual-window mode allow analog-to-digital conversion checks and simultaneous comparisons.
• Built-in WIFI hotspot and app compatibility let you mirror or display on mobile and PC for collaboration.

Cons

• The unit does not include a cable trace function, so tracing buried or hidden cables requires separate equipment.
