Triplett 8150-BR-KIT CamView IP Pro 5 HD CCTV Camera Tester with Waterproof Borescope
Quick take
The Triplett 8150-BR-KIT combines a 5-inch touchscreen camera tester with a waterproof inspection borescope so installers can test feeds and also look behind walls or into hard-to-reach areas. It supports IP and analog camera testing, provides PoE and DC power, and can create a Wi-Fi hotspot for setting up compatible Wi-Fi cameras. The biggest buyer caveat is that borescope recording and snapshot behavior depends on what the tester itself supports, and buyer-review evidence is limited.
Pros and cons
Pros
- 5-inch IPS touchscreen tester for viewing both network HD (1080p) and analog video during installation work
- Multiple connectivity options (HDMI, BNC, RJ45) plus support for IP cameras, analog cameras, and common analog-over-IP formats
- Includes a waterproof (IP67, lens only) 8mm borescope camera with 2m cable and 6 adjustable LEDs
- Built-in field power options, including 24W PoE and DC 12V/3A outputs for testing
- Wi-Fi hotspot function can help with Wi-Fi camera setup
Cons
- Borescope capture features like snapshot and video recording are dependent on the tester’s capabilities
- There is only limited public review evidence to confirm real-world performance trends
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is too limited to draw a reliable pattern about real-world durability, long-term reliability, or consistent performance. With only a small amount of feedback available, it’s best to evaluate this kit primarily by its documented capabilities, port/power options, and whether the borescope feature set matches your installation workflow.
Who this camera tester kit is for
The Triplett 8150-BR-KIT is designed for CCTV installers and technicians who need a portable way to verify camera operation and signal quality in the field. It is especially relevant if your work often involves both network and analog environments, and if you frequently need to inspect behind walls, through conduit, or around obstacles before committing to a final install.
If your day-to-day includes setup of Wi-Fi cameras, the tester’s ability to create a Wi-Fi hotspot can reduce the friction of connecting and verifying camera connectivity on site.
Key features that matter on the job
5-inch touchscreen tester for IP and analog feeds
The kit’s 8150 CamView IP Pro 5 tester uses a 5-inch IPS touch screen and displays up to 1920 x 1080 resolution for network HD and analog camera video during installation and troubleshooting. For many field checks, having a built-in screen and touch controls can be more efficient than relying on a separate monitor.
Power and ports built for field testing
For hands-on installation work, the tester includes practical outputs and connections, including:
- HDMI output for larger viewing options
- BNC support for common analog workflows
- RJ45 for network connectivity
- 24W PoE power output (plus DC 12V/3A power output) to help power cameras during testing
It also includes PING and IP address searching to help identify devices during troubleshooting.
Protocol and camera type coverage
The tester is positioned for maintenance and installation across IP cameras, analog cameras, and multiple camera technologies (including TVI, CVI, and AHD). It also supports testing of 4K H.264/H.265.
It further supports ONVIF PTZ and analog PTZ control, along with compatibility with more than 30 protocols. If you regularly encounter mixed systems, that breadth can help reduce how often you need different tools.
Built-in borescope inspection with IP67 lens protection
The included SBR2M borescope adds a waterproof inspection camera to your kit. The lens portion is rated IP67 waterproof, and the borescope uses an 8mm camera head with a 2m (6.5ft) cable. It also includes 6 adjustable LEDs controlled via thumbwheel, which is useful for illuminating darker voids behind walls or in conduits.
Power for the borescope is provided by the camera tester (12V 1/2/3A), so you are not relying on separate batteries for the inspection camera. The borescope connects using cables intended to pair with the tester, and it uses the tester’s display resolution for viewing.
Important limitation: snapshot and video record behavior is dependent on what the camera tester can do, so if recording is a key requirement for your process, confirm the tester features you plan to use.
Pros and cons in plain terms
Pros
- One portable device covers both camera testing (IP and analog) and behind-wall inspection, reducing the need to bring separate inspection tools.
- Field-friendly power (PoE and DC) supports common testing scenarios without always requiring external power supplies.
- Wi-Fi hotspot support can simplify setup for compatible Wi-Fi cameras.
- Waterproof borescope with an illuminated 8mm lens and adjustable LEDs helps visibility in tight spaces.
Cons
- Borescope “capture” features (snapshot/video record) depend on the tester’s own capabilities, so plan your workflow accordingly.
- Limited available review evidence makes it harder to confirm consistent performance and longevity across many users.
Is it worth it?
The Triplett 8150-BR-KIT is a strong fit if you want a single kit that combines an HD CCTV camera tester with a waterproof inspection borescope for difficult inspection angles. It is most compelling for mixed camera environments (IP and analog types) and for technicians who benefit from built-in PoE/DC power and on-device viewing.
Consider alternative options if your priority is extensive borescope recording and documentation, since those capabilities are tied to the tester. Also, because public buyer-review evidence is limited, you should focus your decision on the documented feature set and ensure it matches the systems and workflows you service.

FAQ
Does the borescope need its own batteries?
No. The borescope is powered by the camera tester (12V 1/2/3A), so you do not need separate batteries for the inspection camera.
What does the IP67 rating mean on this borescope?
The waterproof protection is for the lens portion only, rated IP67. This is intended to help you inspect in environments where water or moisture exposure is possible.
What camera types can the tester check?
The tester is intended for IP cameras, analog cameras, and camera technologies such as TVI, CVI, and AHD, plus testing 4K H.264/H.265.
Can it power cameras during installation?
Yes. It includes power outputs including 24W PoE and DC power output (12V/3A) to support field testing.
Does the kit work with Wi-Fi cameras?
Yes, including support for creating a Wi-Fi hotspot for Wi-Fi camera connections during setup and testing.
Will the borescope be able to record video?
Snapshot and video record functions depend on the camera tester’s capability. If recording is essential for your workflow, verify the tester features you plan to use.
What comes in the kit?
The bundle includes the SBR2M borescope and the 8150-BR-KIT components such as an AC adapter/charger, DC cable, BNC, RS485, and audio cables, wrist strap, and a carrying case.
Bottom line
If you install and troubleshoot both IP and analog CCTV systems, the Triplett 8150-BR-KIT gives you a portable HD tester plus a waterproof inspection camera for behind-wall checks. It is a practical “two tools in one” approach, with the main thing to verify being how well your specific inspection and documentation workflow fits the tester’s borescope capture capabilities.

Triplett 8075 CamView IP Pro-X CCTV Camera Tester with PoE
The Triplett 8075 CamView IP Pro-X is a field-focused CCTV installation tester that combines IP camera network checks, SD/analog HD/HD over coax testing, and PoE power in one handheld unit with a 7-inch touchscreen. It is a strong all-in-one option for installers who need quick connectivity, audio/video signal checks, and common cable/PTZ controls, with the main tradeoffs being limited Wi‑Fi support details, occasional interface hangs, and buyer-fit questions around certain camera brands or firmware update expectations.
AngelBox detects and Connects All Your Security Cameras (99% Compatible)
AngelBox is a plug-and-play IP camera connector designed to detect cameras on your local network and stream them through Angelcam with an encrypted connection. It can simplify setup (especially compared to port forwarding and public IP work), but it works best when all cameras are on the same network and camera onboarding may be slower or more finicky if you’re trying to add many cameras at once.
