PRODUCT CONFIGURATIONS
MDVR with Removable hard drive Storage
This unit is distinguished by a lockable hard drive bay that holds
the portable Hard Drive Carrier. The hard drive stores all MDVR
data. It is available in a SATA or IDE configuration. The SATA
configuration holds one 2.5” SATA drive. The IDE configuration
holds two 2.5” IDE drives. Either configuration can use spinning
disks or solid state drives, for more rugged environments.
The REMOVABLE HARD DRIVE CARRIER must be locked in
place with the key to be recognized by the MDVR. Unlocking it,
even before removing it, will disable it and halt recording. The
removable hard drive mates with the desktop USB HARD DRIVE
READER. This unit operates on wall AC power and is recognized
by the computer as a mass storage device. The MDVR PLAYER
SOFTWARE can be used directly to access stored media files or
files can be copied to a more permanent location. See the section
on FILE STRUCTURE for navigation information.
MDVR with Removable Single SD Card
This unit adds to the base Removable Hard Drive unit a single SD
Card slot. The SD Card is used to extract just the recordings of
Events and for installing system upgrades.
Inserting an empty SD Card initiates copy captured data
surrounding an event. An extractable event is defined by the
MARK trigger response. A configurable pre-event and post-event
time will determine what is extracted. Under the SD Card slot is a
status LED that is initially OFF. The LED will blink Red to indicate
that Events have been recorded and are available for removal.
The LED will blink Green while the copy is in progress and stay
Green when the SD card can be removed. If the LED turns Red
instead, that means the SD card is full but there are more events
to be copied. Replacing the SD Card with another that has free
space will allow the MDVR to continue exporting the event files.
The MDVR keeps track of the events exported so it will not
indicate that events are present after they have been removed.
However, if there is a need to remove the events again, power
cycling the unit will cause the MDVR to rebuild its index and allow
the user to extract the same events again. Note: events, along
