Design & Build Quality

This MNVR is built like a tank. It uses aviation-grade M12 connectors and a vibration-resistant design, perfect for Indian roads full of potholes and rough conditions. The industrial-grade processor and wide temperature range (-25°C to +85°C) make it reliable in extreme heat or cold.

It’s compact enough to install on a bus dashboard or in a fleet vehicle, yet feels solid and professional.

Installation & Setup

Installation is targeted at professional installers:

Mount the unit securely in the vehicle.
Connect up to 8 PoE IP cameras via M12 connectors.
Wire 72–110 VDC power (common in vehicles).
Install SSDs for storage.
Configure 5G SIM, Wi-Fi, and GPS.

The system supports ONVIF, so it works with most CP Plus and third-party IP cameras. The web interface and local GUI are straightforward for setup.

Key Features Performance

AI Intelligence — One of the strongest points. Supports face recognition, smart motion detection (IMD), and advanced RDAS (Driver Assistance) features like drowsiness, yawning, distraction, phone call, and smoking detection. Excellent for fleet safety and compliance.
5G + GPS — Real-time video transmission and live location tracking. Auto fallback to 4G ensures connectivity.
Storage & Recording — SSD-only support (better for vibration), up to 8TB. H.265/Instastream saves bandwidth and storage.
Live View & Playback — HDMI/VGA output, multi-channel playback with smart search.
Ruggedness — Designed for rail, metro, and road vehicles with excellent environmental tolerance.
