The March Networks 5308 Mobile DVR (MDVR) is a robust, four-to-eight camera system purpose-built for use in bus and light rail transit systems, first response vehicles (e.g., police, fire, medical), and other fleet operations. Its industry-leading design standards (IP65, J1455 and others) provide full protection against vibration, shock, dust, water and EMI, and also make it ideal for harsh environments such as remote or industrial facilities. The 5308 MDVR is fully ruggedized yet feature-rich, delivering high-quality video capture, storage and retrieval in conditions where other recorders and traditional CCTV systems simply cannot perform. A modular, docking-station architecture, removable power and wiring box, and built-in camera power make the system very easy to install and service in vehicle environments. An embedded Linux operating system, intelligent hardware and software watchdog circuitry, and built-in back-up battery make it extremely reliable. The system offers 8 NTSC/PAL inputs for video capture, and uses advanced H.263 or MPEG-4 compression to store this video very efficiently to a locking, ruggedized, removable hard-drive. Video resolution and frame rate are flexible, delivering up to 15 fps on 4 cameras and even 30 fps on 2 cameras, for a range of mobile monitoring and surveillance applications. Per-camera frame rates can also be increase on alarms for high-quality event records. The 5308 MDVR offers complete networking features, as well as optional enhancements for GPS vehicle location and speed tracking (synchronized with in-vehicle video), and wireless network access for streaming of video on alarm or on demand to a central station. Video evidence images or clips can be exported in JPEG, BMP or secured .AVI formats. All system functionality is access controlled, and managed through powerful March Networks DVR Software, which is common across all our platforms. The bottom line is this combination of features, performance and reliability make the 5308 MDVR from March Networks the world's toughest mobile DVR. |
