Product Overview 

WitnessPro/VTracker is a cost-effective and well-designed HDD/SD card based Mobile Digital Video Recorder 
specially designed for vehicle surveillance and remote monitoring and combined with a high-speed processor and 
embedded operating system. The advanced H.264 video compression and decompression, wireless transmission, 
and GPS location make WitnessPro/VTracker a very powerful and perfect solution for vehicles.   

 
WITNESSPRO/VTRACKER VIDEO AND AUDIO FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES 
 

  Four channels for video input capable of 30 fps per channel on CIF and 12fps/15fps per channel on D1 with 

continuous or priority video recording and live view display.

 

  Semi-transparent GUI allows setting for GUI and live display simultaneously.   

  Proprietary file system NVRFSTM which allows for the security of data, self-recovery, self-check, self-backup for 

certain critical data and avoidance of data fragments that can affect system efficiency. 

  Mirror recording feature records additional video simultaneously for up to 8 hours on internal SD card in case

  Watermark which prevents any modification of a recorded file, (most law enforcement agencies require this 

feature). 

  Dual-Stream for wireless transmission for wide or narrow bandwidth. 

  Better compression rate at H.264 (50% less than MPEG4) which enhances the recording storage rate in the 

most efficient way. 

  Each video channel is synchronized with audio.   

  User friendly criteria to playback events. 

  Automatic timer to resume the live display if the unit is idle.
