Product Description
Moxa MxNVR Industrial Video Recorder Introduction
2-2
Overview
The MxNVR-MO4 is a streaming DVR (digital video recorder), which can transmit and record H.264 or MJPEG
video streams simultaneously. With a rugged design that meets EN50155 criteria for power characteristics,
EMC, vibration, shock and temperature (T model, TX temperature level), the MxNVR-MO4 especially excels in
rolling stock IP video surveillance applications. Moreover, the MxNVR-MO4 has passed EN 61373 standard
anti-vibration testing with a 2.5 inch hard disk (purchased separately), delivering highly reliable storage
performance for rolling stock applications. The MxNVR-MO4 can be triggered to record by system boot, by
event, by schedule, or by external commands, such as CGI or SNMP. The embedded DynaStream™ function
increases the network transmission efficiency by dynamically adjusting the video frame rate. To prevent
unauthorized access, advanced 802.1X authentication is available to provide high network security. The
MxNVR-MO4 also supports the OnVIF standard to easily integrate and interoperate with third party systems
and software.
High performance H.264/MJPEG compression
Video input can be efficiently compressed into H.264/MJPEG video stream packets in real time. This is done
without sacrificing remote monitoring capability or storage. Five levels of compression quality and four different
image resolutions provide greater versatility.
Dual video streams for meeting versatile application requirements
The MxNVR-MO4 is a powerful streaming video recorder. Aside from the high quality H.264 video compression,
it can also generate a maximum of two video streams: one H.264 and one MJPEG simultaneously, to meet the
needs of specific applications. For example, the user can view the h.264 video streams with full D1 (720x576)
resolution at 20FPS and record the MJPEG video streams with CIF (352x288) resolution at 20 FPS.
NOTE
When
using simultaneous H.264 and MJPEG video streaming at Full D1 (720x576
) resolution, the total FPS of
these 2 video streams will be about 25
-30 FPS. For example, if MJPEG is set to
10 FPS, then H.264 must be set
a
t 20 FPS.
Easy-to-use video recording functions
The MxNVR-MO4 supports both IP video streaming and local video recording. With the built-in SATA interface,
the user can attach one 2.5-inch hard disk or SSD (solid state disk) to record the video streams in a continuous
record, event record, or 24-hour daytime schedule record. All of these recording behaviors are easy to set up
and automatically executed once the MxNVR-MO4 is powered.
Moxa DynaStream™ for network efficiency
DynaSteamTM is a unique and innovative function that allows for adaptive frame rates in response to events on
the network, such as event triggers and system commands. When network traffic becomes congested,
DynaStream™ allows MxNVR-MO4 or MxNVR-MO series products to respond to CGI, SNMP, and Modbus
commands from SCADA and automatically decrease video frame rates to reduce bandwidth consumption. This
reserves bandwidth for the SCADA system to maintain Quality of Service (QoS) and guarantees that the SCADA
performance will not be impacted by video traffic. For example, the frame rate can be set low during regular
streaming to reduce bandwidth usage and automatically switch to a high frame rate during triggered events to
ensure quick transmission of critical video data or video streams, or to provide detailed visual images for
problem analysis.
Low video latency: under 200 ms (milliseconds)
For some mission-critical applications, low video latency is one of the key requirements. For example, highway
transportation systems monitor very fast moving vehicles; videos displayed at the central traffic control center
need to reflect the latest traffic conditions. Therefore, the video latency must be under 200ms.
Two audio inputs supported for a complete surveillance solution
The MxNVR-MO4 supports two audio inputs for audio streaming from the field site. These 2 audio streams will
be synchronized with the video streams for complete video/audio surveillance applications.
Moxa MxNVR Industrial Video Recorder Introduction
2-3
Rugged design for industrial environments
The MxNVR-MO4 is an industrial video recorder, which means that it is designed for harsh industrial
environments. It is compliant with the most essential sections of the EN 50155 standard: EMC, shock, vibration
and temperature criteria (T model supports TX temperature level with -40 to 75°C operating temperature; SSD
required). Most importantly, the MxNVR-MO4 passes IEC/EN 61313 vibration testing using a built-in 2.5” hard
disk, which makes it a highly reliable mobile digital video recorder.
Modbus/TCP supported for convenient communication with SCADA/HMI
Most automation applications use SCADA/HMI systems to monitor and control field site devices and equipment.
Many SCADA/HMI systems now require real-time video for remote monitoring, and for this reason, the
MxNVR-MO4 supports the Modbus/TCP protocol, which enables direct communication between the
MxNVR-MO4 and the SCADA/HMI system, allowing administrators to easily determine the status of their
MxNVR-MO4s for maintenance purposes.
RTSP streaming for easy integration
RTSP (Real-time Streaming Protocol) is a client-server multimedia presentation control protocol, which enables
the interoperability of video devices and software. Hardware or software that supports RTSP streaming can
easily identify and decode the video stream without the hassle of codec installation. For example, users can
view video images from the MxNVR-MO4 directly with Quick Time and VLC, both of which support RTSP
streaming.
Multicast (IGMP) transmission for network efficiency
Transmitting digital video images via an IP network requires many times the bandwidth required for
transmitting general data. For this reason, the efficiency of network bandwidth management is one of the most
important factors that determine the performance of a video over IP surveillance system. The MxNVR-MO4 364
supports multicast transmission with the IGMP protocol, which can reduce the bandwidth requirements when
multiple clients access the same video stream, and greatly increases the efficiency of network bandwidth
management.
Easy web access using standard browsers
There is no need to install new software to access the video recorder, since the embedded web server allows
users to use any popular web browser to access the video recorder from anywhere over the Internet. As long
as you are connected to the network, you will be able to view the same images seen by your cameras.
Built-in 3 area-selectable Video Motion Detection (VMD)
External sensors are not required, since the video channel can be configured to detect motion in 3 areas,
making it easy to set up a security system either in your office or in the field. And the customizable settings
allow you to tune the system for both object size and sensitivity, making the video recorder adaptable to
different environments.
Weekly schedule for automated surveillance
The user-defined time period will check security settings on a weekly basis, and send notifications or drive
external devices, making the MxNVR-MO4 suitable for more versatile applications.
Flexible I/O control for external devices
4 opto-isolated sensor inputs and 1 relay outputs are provided to control external devices, giving system
integrators the option of turning an analog system into an advanced security system.
SDK support for developers
The high-performance video recorder can be integrated into many applications—without busting your
budget—and the complete programming interface of the Moxa VPort SDK PLUS makes the developer’s job easy
and straightforward. To ask about SDK requirements, please contact a Moxa sales representative for details
and an application form.

ATTENTION
A ground loop isolator is recommended to be used between the camera and the
MxNVR-MO4
to avoid a sudden
current
that burns out the VPort’s chips and boards, generated by the electric potential difference between
these
two device’s ground power.
Step 4: Install the 2.5” HDD (hard disk) or SSD (solid state disk)
The MxNVR-MO4 has a HDD tray located in the bottom. There are few steps to install the HDD or SSD.
NOTE
It is recommended to
remove the power input before installing the hard disk.
1. Loosen the 2 thumbscrews and use them to pull out the HDD tray.
2. Remove the protective membrane of the thermal pad located on the top of the HDD tray.
3. Install the 4 yellow anti-vibration pads into the 4 HDD screw brackets, and loosen the 2 screws of the SATA
connector holder
4. Connect the 2.5-inch HDD or SSD with the SATA socket, and then screw the 4 HDD screws on it with the
HDD tray.

5. Remove the protective membrane of the thermal pad located on the bottom of the HDD tray.
6. Push the HDD tray back into the MxNVR-MO4, and then fix the 2 thumbscrews to complete the installation.
NOTE
When push
ing the HDD tray back into MxNVR-MO4, please be careful not to damage the SATA cable.
NOTE
The
MxNVR-MO4 is designed for high-vibration environments.
For best results when using a normal 2.5 inch
hard disk, we recommend the
Toshiba MK series 2.5-inch hard disk. The 2.5-inch hard disk used in the
MxNVR
-MO4 to pass the vibration criteria of EN/IEC 61373 was the Toshiba MK10596SM (1 TB).
NOTE
For using MxNVR
-MO4-T in -40 to -75°C environments, a SSD (solid state disk) with -40 to 75°C operating
temperature capability is required. The SSD
installed in the MxNVR-MO4 used to pass the -40 to 75°C
operating
temperature test
s was an Intel SSD.
Step 5: Configure the MxNVR-MO4’s IP address
After powering on the MxNVR-MO4, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The STAT LED
turns green to indicate that the POST process has completed. The IP address will be assigned when the 10 or
100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks. The IP address assigned after the POST is completed depends on the network
environment.
Network Environment with a DHCP Server
In this case, the IP address of the MxNVR-MO4 is assigned by a DHCP Server. Use the DHCP Server’s IP address
table, or use the Moxa MxNVR-MO4 utility to determine the IP address that was assigned by the DHCP Server.
NOTE
After powering on the
MxNVR-MO4, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The IP
address
will be assigned when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks.
