Introduction 

Thank you for purchasing a MVC300 camera! 
 
The MVC300 camera is a sleek and compact video recording device perfect for in-car mounting: an ideal solution if you 
want  to  capture  any  significant  events  that  might  occur  on  the  road.  It  can  also  be  used  to  augment  any  fleet 
management system with added video surveillance. 

With Ethernet functionality you can take the MVC300 camera out of the car altogether and integrate it into a stationary 
surveillance system, in other words it can perfectly double as a fully-fledged IP network camera. Video viewing also does 
not elude flexibility: it can be done via our Web Users Interface or through any video player capable of processing the 
RTSP streaming protocol.
