The Signal MT-18 is a versatile tool designed to facilitate the installation, configuration and maintenance of CCTV systems and computer networks. The meter is compatible with IP cameras (up to 8K) as well as HD-CVI, HD-TVI and AHD (up to 8 MPix, with support for OSD menus and 16:9 aspect ratio at 5 MPix) and CVBS. Thanks to the monitor’s high resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, you can view high-quality images from the cameras, allowing you to fine-tune the most important settings with precision. The large touchscreen and additional control buttons ensure user-friendly operation.The built-in HDMI IN and VGA inputs allow you to connect an external device, such as a recorder. This enables you to display the image from that device and configure it locally. Meanwhile, the HDMI OUT port enables you to connect the tester to an external monitor or other display.The built-in rechargeable battery enables the device to operate for long periods (up to 11 hours) and acts as a power source for other devices, offering the following outputs:2 x DC 12 V / 3 ADC 24 V 2 AUSB 5 V / 2 APoE (802.3 af/at/bt90, max 90 W)Key features:a scratch-resistant, high-brightness 7" IPS touchscreen that can be used even in direct sunlighta high-capacity 57.72 Wh battery (11.1 V, 5200 mAh) providing up to approx. 11 hours’ operationseamless support for various surveillance systems: IP (tools for private protocols such as HIK Test Tool, DH Test Tool, Unv Test Tool, Tiandy Tool, HW Tool, IPC Test, ONVIF Test Tool), HD-CVI, AHD, HD-TVI (support for two-way audio) and CVBScapability to generate a test signal – virtual camera – via the RTSP protocolRS-485 port for controlling PTZ cameras (Pelco-P, Pelco-D and over 30 other protocols)quick search and connection function for IP cameras (automatic subnet matching, option to configure camera parameters)ability to simultaneously display images from up to 32 camerasability to digitally zoom in on camera imagescapability to record video and capture still images from cameras to the built-in memory,HDMI input and output – capability to display the image from the recorder and connect an external monitor; VGA inputWi-Fi support (2.4 GHz)Physical function buttonsSignal tester for video, audio, data, network, Wi-Fi and PoEBuilt-in web browsers2 x UTP TDR reflectometers (detection of cable breaks and short circuits)UTP cable testertesting of SFP modules and connection parametersgeneration of test reports in PDF formatbuilt-in internal memory: 8 GB, supports microSD cards up to 128 GBbuilt-in torchpower output: 2 x DC 12 V / 3 A, DC 24 V / 2 A, PoE (802.3af/at/bt90), DC 5 V / 2 A (USB)The key functions:Supported systemsThe device supports various types and brands of cameras. The meter is compatible with IP cameras (up to 8 Mpix, automatic subnet adjustment, configurable parameters), as well as with the following systems: HD-CVI, HD-TVI, AHD (up to 8 MPix, 16:9 aspect ratio at 5 MPix) and CVBS.Tester, TDR reflectometer for UTP cablesCable tester – an RJ-45 cable tester used to check wire continuity, verify correct connections, detect terminators and test network performance at 1000 Mb/s RJ-45 TDR Test – cable length measurement, identification of transmission pairs, detection of breaks and assessment of cable quality.Wi-Fi TesterSupports 2.4 GHz networks.Displays network data and statistics (frequency, channels, signal strength).Built-in applications for testing IP cameras and recorders:IPC Test – camera discovery, temporary subnet configuration for detected cameras, DHCP server, ping, option to switch to applications supporting proprietary protocols from Dahua and Hikvision, ONVIF connectivityApplications designed for viewing and configuring devices: Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, TiandyMulti Preview – simultaneous preview of 32 camerasRTSP stream playerGeneration of a virtual test RTSP stream (virtual IP camera)RS-485 data analyser, pan-tilt camera controlBuilt-in web browserAudio output, built-in speakerAbility to save recordings and still images on the device, image recording via HDMINet Tool – a suite of network testing toolsIP network scannerPort scanner, sending ICMP packets (PING)Rapid IP discovery – displays which IP addresses are in use on the networkDHCP serverPort flashing – detects which port on a switch is connectedNetwork analysis (connection speed, packet loss, loop detection)Continuous communication test with IP addresses, packet route testingNetwork calculatorPSE – PoE power testerDetecting which pairs are carrying power and the voltage level.Device power supplyPower output: PoE (802.3af/at/bt90), 2 x DC 2.1/5.5 (12 V, 2 A), USB (5 V, 2 A), DC 24 V 1 A.
