Overview

The MVX1000 System is an advanced video recording system intended for law enforcement patrol and
surveillance activities (see Figure 1-1). The system collects video evidence, enables reviewing and managing the
video incidents and adding metadata evidence files (data retrieved by the in-car system or entered by the officer
during operation).

The in-car MVX1000 system consists of the MVX1000 Unit, Mobile Computer or a LCD Control Head running a
user interface application, Cameras, Wired Microphones, Wireless Microphones and other components installed
inside the vehicle (see In-car MVX1000 System Components on page 1-3). Using a combination of automatic and
manual functions, the officer operates the in-car system to document law enforcement incidents and other dynamic
policing situations.

The Data Transfer System is generally installed in a garage or external parking place of a Back Office Facility
where the agency vehicles are parked. Video and metadata evidence files recorded by the in-car MVX1000
System are transferred automatically or manually over wire, wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection or
Wide Wireless Area Network to a Back Office Server through a Wire/Wireless Access Point/Cellular radio or a
Manual Upload Station for processing the evidence.

The Back Office Server, located in a precinct, headquarters or station facility, consists of computer hardware and
software tools for performing data management functions quickly and efficiently and exports the evidence on a
media such as DVD to be presented in court.

IMPORTANT While reading this chapter, you may observe that certain hardware features have been

configured to meet the specific requirements of your agency. Before using the MVX1000
system installed in your vehicle, ensure you are familiar with the specific hardware setup of
your vehicle.

In-car MVX1000 System Components

The MVX1000 system may include the following components (see Figure 1-2):

•

MVX1000 Unit: An advanced digital video recorder for capture, storage and retrieval of video,

audio and related metadata on a removable Solid-State Drive (SSD) memory device. The
MVX1000 is controlled by a Mobile Digital Video Recorder (mDVR) User Interface Application that
runs on a Mobile Workstation or Mobile Laptop or by the LCD Control Head. The MVX1000 also
serves as a client/server unit that communicates by wired or wireless LAN with the docking station
for uploading the evidence files and downloading software updates.

•

Front/Rear View Camera: A high resolution, zoom-controlled color camera. The camera is used

for recording video outside the vehicle. Up to three such cameras can be used in a vehicle to
capture the view from the front, side and rear windows of the vehicle.

•

Motorcycle Camera: A high resolution, fix zoom color camera. The camera is used for recording

video when installed on motorcycle.

•

Passenger Camera: A compact camera with fixed wide angle lens and a smart Infrared (IR)

capability for low light video recording. The camera is used to capture activity in the back seat area
of the vehicle under any lighting conditions.

•

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Antenna: Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) diversity

antenna for wirelessly uploading recorded video instances and metadata evidence files to the back
office server.

•

GPS Antenna: The MVX1000 includes an internal GPS receiver. The unit uses received signals

from satellites to determine the accurate location of the vehicle and for time tracking. The GPS
readings are part of the metadata files that complement the video events stored in the MVX1000.

Sensors Mode Screen

The Sensors Mode Screen displays the status of sensors (input devices) as recorded during an incident.

Sensors installed inside the vehicle trigger recording and provide metadata to the MVX1000 for pre and
post event

evidentiary
timeline each time a signal is received from a sensor. The Sensors Mode enables you to review the
recorded status of each sensor during an incident.

Your vehicle system may have up to eight sensors installed. Usually, all connected sensors are labeled
and identified on the Sensors screen (Passenger Door Lock, Crash Sensor, Siren, Brakes etc). Non connected
input ports are labeled GPIO #

purposes. The MVX1000 automatically creates a notification in the playback

(General Purpose Input Output)

.

An Off status of a sensor indicates a non active sensor. An ON status of a sensor indicates an active
sensor.

Table 4-11 describes the optional indications displayed on the Sensors Mode Screen.

NOTE Your system may include other sensors not specified inTable 4-11. Some sensors may be

configured to trigger recording, while others only provide status of the relevant condition during
active recording. For example, brake signal does not trigger recording, but is saved in the
metadata as part of the recorded incident, including pre-event buffer.
For more information on the sensors installed in your vehicle, consult your agency system
administration.

No. Indication Description

Sensors Mode Screen - Optional Indications

1 Brake The brake sensor is activated whenever the vehicle brakes are used. The output

signal of the brake is recorded as an evidence by the MVX1000 System.

2 Siren The output signal of the siren sensor triggers the MVX1000 System to save and

record pre and post event evidence.

3 Lights The output signal of the emergency light bar sensor triggers the MVX1000

System to save and record pre and post event evidence.

6 Crash Sensor The crash sensor is activated if the vehicle is involved in a collision. The output

signal of the sensor triggers the MVX1000 System to save and record pre and
post crash evidence. The crash sensor can be manually reset using a button at
the top of the sensor.

7 GPIO The General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) indication is displayed if the current

port is not connected to a sensor.
