Important User Information
Minimum System Requirements for DVR-Player Function:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3.4 GHz, RAM: 6GB (4GB, 8GB would be better),
Video standard: Intel(R) HD Graphics
About On Screen GPS Mapping
This feature requires unrestricted access to Google maps, so some highly restricted proxies servers may prevent this.
If the Internet access is prevented at the customer side, the free On Screen Mapping feature may be prevented from
functioning. This does not affect the speed of the vehicle recorded on the screen during the trip. Also we have found
the GPS antenna location needs to be on the vehicle roof to assure the best function.
Memory Storage Required
The SD4HD, SD4HW and SD4HC series are sold WITHOUT memory storage device, as the size of the SD memory
cards will not only be up the customer but in many cases customers can source the cards at a lower cost than ABV
can. ABV recommends use of Transcend SD memory cards Class 10 or faster, for optimum use as some other
brands have had issues with several mobile DVR brands over the last 10 years.
Basic PC Skills Are Required
The Mobile Digital Video Recorders (MDVR) we provide operate on a PC program viewer program called a Graphical
User Interface aka GUI. These programs have been designed to be intuitive and require no formal training to operate
the program, include a manual for those who seek additional guidance, as long as the user possesses basic PC skills.
This is where some problems with PC skills begin for some who are not well versed in the use of their district or
company computers. Use of these GUI programs are predicated on the assumption/requirement that the customer of
this high tech video file evidence management tool has authorized personnel who will be operating this program who
are competent with the basic operation of their own company PCs.
Companies lacking a trained PC competent authorized user for this system will need to have their designated persons
trained on the basic use of their company PC prior to using this product, as lack of basic PC operation skills and use
could compromise the integrity of the product application, the video files and possibly their admissibility as evidence in
a court litigation procedure. The manufacturer and their representatives are not responsible, licensed or certified to
train users of this program on the basic functions of a customer or company’s own company PCs.
ABV does not supply the resources required to teach customers how to operate their PCs to a degree that they may
then operate programs running on them. It is the customer’s responsibility to learn how to operate their own PC
before implementing a product that requires operation on their PC. Simply stated; if the intended customer system
operator is incapable of downloading files from the internet, opening programs under Administration access, running
or executing application files under Administration access, cannot download Media Player Program codec plug-ins,
cannot save a file, cannot transfer a file or browse for a file, nor make a screen capture of the program viewer GUI,
cannot send a saved file by e-mail, cannot plug a USB SD card Reader into a removed memory storage device,
cannot save a file to a portable digital storage device, then you are not ready for a digital vehicle surveillance system.
Basic PC skills are a requirement of all who intend to operate these products.
Network System Administrator (In-House) Required for CMS Operation (Wi-Fi & Cellular)
Should you have Wi-Fi equipped DVRs but are not using the Wi-Fi Wireless function then this does not apply, as you
will not be using the CMS software.
Those customers incorporating the Central Management Software (CMS) Server or Client Software in order to
enable the Wi-Fi or Cellular functionality in their mobile video application must have in-house a Network
