Important System Use Notes
PC Basic Skills:
The SD4B operates on a PC program viewer program GUI. This program has been designed to be intuitive and
require no formal training to operate the program, as long as the user possesses basic PC skills. Use of this program
is predicated on the assumption that the customer/user of this high tech video file management tool has authorized
personnel who will be operating this program who are competent with the basic operation of their own company PCs.
Companies lacking a trained PC competent authorized user for this system will need to have their designated persons
trained on the basic use of their company PC prior to using this product, as lack of basic PC operation skills and use
could compromise the integrity of the product application, the video files and possibly their admissibility as evidence in a
court litigation procedure. The manufacturer and their representatives are not responsible, licensed or certified to
train users of this program on the basic functions of a customer or company’s own company PCs.
Management Responsibility:
No matter how well conceived, developed, manufactured a safety related product is, it is simply a tool to be used by
concerned, committed, and competent management dedicated to improving fleet driver safety and reducing fleet driver risk.
Investment in the tools to reduce driver risk is just the beginning; it is solely reliant on management oversight, commitment
and effective
follow through in the form of effective reinforcement of company fleet driver policy to determine the level of
fleet driver safety and fleet
driver risk the company is exposed to.
Unadvertised Features:
This document provides service information for several versions of the product line.
This manual is not dedicated for the “Budget Series” SD4B & SD4B-GPS DVR product line.
This User Guide lists, details, and depicts non-advertised features NOT AVAILABLE in the “Budget Series” SD4B &
SD4B-GPS DVR.
Most of these detailed features relate to, but are not limited to, the networking aspect of the DVR as it relates to Wi-Fi, 3G
Live View or Video Streaming and 3-axis “G” Sensor.
The manufacturer advises that only the advertised features of “Budget Series” SD4B & SD4B-GPS DVR product line as
listed on the product PDFs and as quoted be used to determine application value and worth to potential customers, as there
is no promise made or assurance of any kind that these non-advertised, non quoted features will be available or provided
for the “Budget Series” SD4B & SD4B-GPS DVR product line.
Do not base any investment decision on features listed in this document that are not advertised nor listed on the product
quote form at the time of purchase.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications:
As most mobile rated DVRs use Linux operating systems, their hard drives use a Linux type partition. There are drivers to
allow OS7 to read these partitions, but under Vista and 7, you must be running as the “Administrator”, or the driver will
crash.
What MANUFACTURER has found is that some CF4 users (school districts) have strict IT departments that will not allow
any computer on their network unless it is not an “Administrator” account.
MANUFACTURER has suggested the following solutions:
1-Run Windows XP on the PC to be used as a Video Player Viewing Station and this resolves the problem
without any additional cost to the user. This permits full On Screen Mapping via Internet connection.
2-Purchase a stand-a-lone computer with Windows 7 in Administrator mode with the Viewer application installed
