Introduction
1.1
Welcome to Your New Y58
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Gatekeeper Systems Y58.
The Y58 is an 8 channel and single HDD/SSD storage based Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR). The
MDVR supports 6 Analog High Definition (AHD) channels and 2 IP channels. Each AHD and IP channel
supports up to 1080p and up to 30 FPS with 8 selectable quality levels. This MDVR offers H.264 and
H.265 video compression. H.265 produces crystal clear video imaginary and longer recording times (15%
to 20% less data compared to H.264). The Y58 has built-in dual band WIFI 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz that can
be configured either as access point mode or client mode. The Y58 records to a removable HDD (Hard
Disk Drive) up to 4TB, an SSD (Solid State Drive), or a SD Card. The Y58 is built to withstand shocks,
vibration, and the environmental stresses inherent in any types of vehicle operation.
To playback the recorded video or search for any sensor alarm triggers, the Y58 utilizes
Gatekeeper’s
custom video viewing software, “G4
Viewer Plus
”
. G4 Viewer Plus is an easy to use application that allows
users to quickly find the video of interest and save as a clip in MP4 format. G4 Viewer Plus is available
as a free download from Gatekeeper System website (www.gatekeeper-systems.com).
