B:Notices

In order to ensure the safe use of MDVR to get satisfying performance, please consider the

following factors completely in the installation of device:

1:Comply with the specifications of all electronic products, requirements of the vehicles

and other connected devices when install and operate this device;

2:Power and Device Grounding:

Device power input range DC 8V-36V, please be careful not to reverse, the output cannot be

short-circuited. Please pay attention to the power supply capacity of the power cord. Even if the

device is turned off, the machine is also charged, please avoid a short circuit. Disconnect the

device and the power before connecting to other external devices; Its output voltage is 12V, only

can be used for the camera power supply. Please do not use on any other devices without

permission. The sensor input mode is electric frequency mode, it is considered as low frequency

electric when is less than 30V but greater than 4V, in case of 30V above, it will result in device

damage when device grounding is recommended.

3: Humidity requirement:

Install the device in a dry environment, avoiding wet, dripping, spray and other places. Do

not install device in depression place or liquid dripping wet places; Do not touch the device with

wet hands; Do not touch the device when stand in water contact, which will have risk of electric

shock;

4: Installation location:

In order to extend the life of device, please try to install the device in the location with less

vibration on vehicle, Such as the back of the driver‘s seat. It should be installed in the airy place

inside the vehicle; it should keep 6inches (15 cm) from other objects when installed in plane, in

order to facilitate vehicle; it should keep 6inches (15 cm) from other objects when installed in

plane, in order to facilitate air circulation and heat dissipation; it cannot be installed in a closed

space, such as the vehicle trunk. It is recommended to be put straight up which can extend the life

of hard disk, while side-mounted can easily damage hard disk; external wire must have enough

interval and protection by fire –retardant pipe, to ensure that the wire will not be bent or leakage

due to vibration and wear; please ensure that the device is away from the heat source on the

vehicle, and it is prohibited to place any debris on the device.

5: Device safety:

Make sure that the passenger or the driver cannot interfere and damage the piece of device,

cameras, wires and other accessories do not install the device near any restricted vehicle

components, cameras, accessories and wires, must make sure that the vehicle is stationary during

the installation process to prevent the device from falling.

1.This device includes electronic

components, please handle with care

during transportation.

2. Installation and maintenance must be

performed by professionally qualified

persons.

3. It cannot be installed in any eroded

places by rain or other liquid

4. It cannot be put under any heavy stuffs

5. Keep it away from heat, dust, and

strong magnetic field, do not directly flush

6. Do not replace any module when main

body is powered on.

7. Do not open or disassemble the device

without guidance of professionals.

8. Device output power shall not lap any

non-recommended

1.2 The MDVR products application connection

diagram

Please refer toFigure1-1，This product can be used for video surveillance or remote

monitoring which applies in common or special vehicles such as buses, logistic vehicles, trucks,

long-distance coaches, taxis, tankers, cars, school buses, police cars, patrol cars. In front-end it

mainly collects video signal by dedicated automotive camera ,then transmit to the MDVR host via

a special video cable to do the video compression and image processing, which is locally storage

in SD card .it can also be remote monitored or remote video recorded and downloaded by the

remote client if with 3G models .It can real-time locate the vehicle position;Figure1-1 schematic

diagram is a common model of application, each function during actual use will vary with the

presence of module.

power input connector on the rear panel of the

device, the red and black wires are connected directly to the vehicle battery

or the gathered electric which go through battery and fuse; red wire links to

firing wire, the main device automatically start up when the vehicles key is

turned on, and shut off automatically after delay when vehicles key is

turned off; yellow wire links to the position when vehicles key turn on all

dashboard lights(the position before vehicle starts the motor).

audio and video output, while the

φ 3.5 phone Jack interface in the front panel can also

output audio and video .Its peripheral interface can be optional 3G/GPS, which then will need to

use 3Gantenna and GPS antenna, as shown in Figure2-8

Alarm input&output

This device has 4 alarm input and one alarm output interface ,alarm

input detection are all level detection which can be accessed by a variety

NOTE:

1:Need to make sure the battery voltage is between 8V-36V before

connecting, otherwise above voltage will burn out the device;

2:Pay attention to the insulation among the power cord after connection to

prevent the short circuit of the power cord which will burn out the battery and

other electrical equipment in the vehicle;

3:It is recommended to link the yellow wire to the firing wire, otherwise the

device will not support the delayed shutdown;

4:The installation of vehicle-mounted is recommended to directly take from

battery positive and negative, or pick from the main electrical with fuse, do not

use ground because ground will produce negative pulses which will interfere

with the normal operation of the host. The diameter of positive and negative

power cord must be more than φ1.5mm;
