Introduction

The central component of the MobileView system is a high-quality DVR, which records
images from up to twelve cameras (monochrome or color) with dual-channel audio and
information such as the time, date, and vehicle number. You may adjust image storage
capacity by changing your recording speed, selected resolution, and drive size.
The DVR begins capturing video within 90 seconds of receiving the vehicle’s ignition
signal. It continues to capture data while that signal is present and for a programmable
shutdown delay period after the vehicle ignition signal expires. Surveillance and event-
based video data is stored on a mobile-rated, removable hard disk drive caddy. When
available storage capacity is full, the DVR automatically overwrites the oldest data with new
data in a FIFO (first-in, first-out) fashion.
Note: Most MobileView products are not supplied with mounting hardware. Exceptions are noted in the
appropriate sections of the manual.
On the software side, the MobileView solution uses a Video Manager software application
for the review of surveillance and event-based video stored on the DVR. Video Manager is
also used to configure MobileView operating parameters. The Fleet Manager application
adds remote management tools to automate video download, device health checking, e-mail
notifications, and more.
Viewing and retrieving images
The DVR stores the captured digital images as monochrome or color files, which you can
download to a computer using the MobileView Video Manager software. The DVR connects
to a viewing station through a wired or wireless Ethernet connection. The viewing station is
generally a laptop or desktop PC running the Windows XP Professional operating system.
When you are connected to the viewing station, you can view or observe live video and log
data stored on the DVR. You can also transfer recorded data to long-term storage media such
as DAT tapes or recordable CDs.
Note: An Ethernet crossover cable is required to connect the DVR to the viewing station via a wired
Ethernet connection.
