Do you think you can be sure that Guangzhou WangLu Technology is actual manufacturer? In addition to North American re-brands, there are dozens of Chinese companies claiming to be manufacturer of this unit, so I was wondering if you did any research on that.

How good was image quality?
Is there a datasheet available online anywhere?
Thank you!

Can you do remote zoom/focus with this tester ?

We also bought these monitors from Metricu. But we have got many problems with LCD part. Our engineers opened few to check whats happened and inside they simply found Chinese style of finger soldering.
Now we use testers from another manufacturer which we have found during CPSE last year. As far as I know Dahua also use same test monitors currently so we think quality is approved.

Is it available to replay promotion movies or open PDF files which was downloaded by laptop to the SD card? If so, this would be the perfect promotion device that sales guys don't need to carry any other presentation materials!

Wanglu emailed me and sent a price list. Prices are, not surprisingly, lower than Amazon.
On the other hand, I am now even less clear who the real manufacturer is.

My IPC-8600 is compatible with TVI 2.0 however TVI is at 4.0. Is there a software upgrade out there. I plugged my unit to the Internet but it timed out with no upgrade available.

I just purchased and received the latest IPC Tester from WangLu in China - The x9 has an 8" 2k display with multipoint touchscreen. Its based on Android OS 4.4 (KittyCat)
Out of the box it powered up and worked and has many features and functions. The first thing to note about these units is that they come in several versions that have certain options included or omitted. I purchased the fully loaded unit directly from china and it came via DHL air freight in about 48 hours.
I was impressed with the unit as it came from the factory but noticed that it came with many down-rev applications. For instance the Chrome borwser, Dahua gdmss, Hikvision iVMS-4500 HD and several others. It was also missing some tools that I use all the time.
The best part about this device is that with a little OS familiarity you can configure and load most all the apps that you could want. I was able to delete the out dated versions and replace them with the latest and greatest. It's sort of like getting a new laptop - you get basic stuff but if you really want to make it work for you, it's going to need some configuration.
So far I have tested the TDR, CVI, AHD, IP, POE, Network tools, Dahua, Hikvision, OnVif, DMM and several other apps. They all are very helpful and work.
It will take a little time before I can use all the features of this tester, however I fully intend to. I was skeptical and a little concerned when I made the purchase. There are so many rebranded versions of these devices and I'm sure that many of the OEMs add their own modifications. I decided to buy from the manufacture straight up. I will post more in the future as I learn other things you can do with this piece of test equipment.
Feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer here.

Leland,
Sorry I didn't see your response sooner. To start there are two functions that you need to understand. First - how to delete applications that you do not want and second how to install applications.
I take no responsibility for the following - please use this information as you wish. I have only done this on the latest 7" and 8" versions of the IP CCTV tester running Kitkat android software. Please post your results for others.
First - deleting application happens under the control panel setting "Software Versions" - find the app you want to remove and you can delete it from there.
Second - You need a way to get new apps loaded onto the tester, and you need access to a library of good .APK files.
*.apk files are the raw application files. Normally these are installed on android devices through the Google Play Store. The tester does not have a Google Play store so you have to do this manually. Also note, that since there isn't the google play store with tested and debugged apps that have been tested to work on your hardware you may find that some apps don't fully work or don't work at all. (If you load an app that doesn't work the way you like, delete it)
There are many .apk repositories on the web. and like any FREE software it's possible for the .APK files to have viruses or malware added to the original files. do some research to find good sources for .apk files. I like APKPure but there are many out there.
APKPure website
There are several ways to install .apk files onto the tester. This is the way I do it;
You need to take the MicroSD card out of the tester and download the APKPure installer from a PC or Laptop on to the MicroSD card then replace the MicroSD card into the test and run it. From there you can use the tool to install and find .APKs
APKPure installer
Once you are able to install .APK files you can begin to customize your test. There are .apks for Google Chrome, Dahua gdmss, Hikvision iVMS-4500 and just about any application you can find for the android platform.
Lastly, one feature I like about the APKPure application is that it acts like a Google Play Store in that it will let you know when a newer version of an app is available and provide the update function for you.
Hope this helps and good luck.
