1 Features and Specifications

1.1 Overview

This series mobile NVR is a high-end HD digital video surveillance management product.  It Integrates image process technology, wireless network technology, GPS technology,

structure technology and vehicle information sampling and process technology together.

 Uses strong aluminum alloy case and adopts one 2.5-inch HDDs and one SD card as the

storage media. It supports built-in 3G, WIFI wireless transmission mode and GPS module （optional）.

 Installed on the vehicle, it can realize local audio/video storage and vehicle information

sampling, at the same time it can transmit real-time video and vehicle information to the remote management centre and establish real-time remote wireless surveillance management system.

This series NVR can be widely used in many vehicle areas or mobile surveillance areas such as long-distance passenger transport, city public transportation, public security system, road administration, logistics vehicle.

Important Please note, GPS, WIFI, 3G function are optional. Please make sure you purchased product support these functions.

1.2 Function

Slight difference may be found due to different series products.

It has analog output port, VGA port. You can use monitor or displayer, video wall to realize surveillance function. System supports TV/VGAI output at the same time.

 Storage function Special data format to guarantee data security and can avoid vicious data modification.

 Compression format Support multiple-channel audio and video signal. An independent hardware decodes the audio and video signal from each channel to maintain video and audio synchronization.

 Backup function Support backup operation via USB port (such as flash disk, portable HDD) Client-end user can download the NVR file to local HDD to backup via network.

 Record playback function Support each channel real-time record independently, and at the same time it can support search, forward play, network monitor, record search, download and etc. Support various playback modes: slow play, fast play, backward play and frame by frame play. Support time title overlay so that you can view event accurate occurred time Support specified zone enlargement.

 Network operation Support network remote real-time monitor, remote record search and remote PTZ control.

 Alarm activation function Several relay alarm outputs to realize alarm activation and on-site light control. The alarm input port and output port has the protection circuit to guarantee device safety.

 Communication port RS485 port can realize peripheral device control. RS232 port can connect to keyboard to realize central control, and can also connect to PC COM to upgrade system and realize maintenance. Standard Ethernet port can realize network access function.

 PTZ control Support PTZ control via netwrok . Support various decode protocols to allow the PTZ to control the speed dome.

 GPS positioning The GSP information can activate the record function while the search function can activate the vehicle movement track.

Please note only the unit of GPS module supports this function.

 3G/WIFI network Latest wireless network communication technology allows you to easily control the device.

Please note only the unit of 3G/WIFI module supports this function.

 Removable HDD design The professional removable anti-vibration design. It supports fix and removable operation and can connect to PC to realize fast and convenience data backup.

 Dual–stream Considering the wireless network band is small and the network is not stable, system adopts the dual stream to implement real-time record and network transmission independently, which greatly optimizes the network transmission encode code and enhance the wireless network control compatibility.

 Vehicle status record There are six external alarm ports. You can connect to the door signal, direction indicator lamp signal, reversing light signal, brake lamp signal and etc to prompt the driver and record vehicle status.

1.3 Features

 Aluminum alloy case, small and sound ventilation, high stability.  Built-in power module, convenient installation.  Support PoE, can supply power to the network camera directly.  Abundant functions, support various alarm mode, record mode and support multiple

information, vehicle status sampling and record function.

Check the Overlay button, you can overlay corresponding alarm information on the record

file. d) If the alarm signal is 12V/24V voltage, the trigger type shall be high valid. If the alarm

signal is ground signal, the trigger type shall be low valid. e) The normal open means the alarm signal is usually disconnect, system can generate an

alarm when the alarm signal closed. The normal close means the alarm signal is usually

connect, system can generate an alarm when the alarm signal disconnected. f) You need to set for each alarm channel on the Alarm in item if the device has connected

several alarm channels.

 Alarm in: Here is for you to select channel number.  Event type: There are two types. Local input/IPC offline alarm.

 Local input alarm: The alarm signal system detects from the alarm input port.

 IPC offline alarm: Once you select this item, system can generate an alarm when the

front-end IPC disconnects with the NVR. The alarm can activate record, PTZ, snap and etc. The alarm can last until the IPC and the NVR connection resumes.

 Enable: Please you need to highlight this button to enable current function.

 Type: Normal open or normal close.  Trigger: Here is for you to set activation mode. There are two options: High/low.  Alarm name: You can input customized name here.  Overlay: Please highlight the box here to enable this function. It can overlay alarm

information on the video screen when an alarm occurred.  Anti-dither: Here you can set anti-dither time. The value ranges from 5 to 600s. The

anti-dither time refers to the alarm signal lasts time. It can be seem as the alarm signal

activation stays such as the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, channel record. The stay

time here does not include the latch time. During the alarm process, the alarm signal can

begin an anti-dither time if system detects the local alarm again. The screen prompt, alarm

upload, email and etc will not be activated. For example, if you set the anti-dither time as 10

second, you can see the each activation may last 10s if the local alarm is activated. During

the process, if system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth second, the buzzer, tour,

PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel will begin another 10s while the screen prompt,

alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10s, if system detects another alarm

signal, it can generate an alarm since the anti-dither time is out.  Alarm output: The number here is the device alarm output port. You can select the

corresponding ports(s) so that system can activate the corresponding alarm device(s) when

an alarm occurred.  Latch: When the anti-dither time ended, the channel alarm you select in the alarm output may

last the specified period. The value ranges from 1 to 300 seconds. This function is not for

other alarm activation operations. The latch is still valid even you disable the alarm event

function directly.  Show message: System can pop up a message to alarm you in the local host screen if you

enabled this function.  Alarm upload: System can upload the alarm signal to the network (including alarm centre

and the WEB) if you enabled current function. System only uploads the alarm channel

status. You can go to the WEB and then go to the Alarm interface to set alarm event and

alarm operation. Please go to the Network interface to set alarm centre information.  Send email: System can send out the alarm signal via the email to alert you when alarm

occurs. Once you enable the snap function, system can also send out an image as the

attachment. Please go to the Main Menu->Setting ->Network->Email interface to set.

 Record channel: you can select proper channel to record alarm video (Multiple choices).  Snapshot: You can enable this function to snapshot image when an alarm occurs.  Buzzer: Highlight the icon to enable this function. The buzzer beeps when an alarm occurs.
