5. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a MVC300 camera!

The MVC300 camera is a sleek and compact video recording device perfect for in-car mounting: an ideal solution if you
want to capture any significant events that might occur on the road. It can also be used to augment any fleet
management system with added video surveillance.

With Ethernet functionality you can take the MVC300 camera out of the car altogether and integrate it into a stationary
surveillance system, in other words it can perfectly double as a fully-fledged IP network camera. Video viewing also does
not elude flexibility: it can be done via our Web Users Interface or through any video player capable of processing the
RTSP streaming protocol.
