1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1. INTRODUCTION
DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder with one common goal, allowing end-users to record / retrieve real time
video files with a few mouse clicks. Within the last decade, video encrypt/decrypt algorithms achieved noticeable
improvement along with the availability of large capacity digital storage devices that draw attention to designing
DVR systems. With this in mind, 247Security Inc. has designed and built the mDVR303 Series equipment to make
this transition smooth for the in-vehicle applications, specifically the transportation industry.
The mDVR303 employs high performance video compression modified h.264 standard to optimize
video/audio data stream so that it can be sent over a network or stored directly on a local disk. The compression
algorithm mainly runs on a DSP Engine, therefore freeing up valuable resources within the system to do other jobs.
The mDVR303 has features such as dynamic bit rate, controllable frame rate (max 60fps total), image quality
control, real-time previewing on all channels, alarm triggers, sensor configuration, easy retrieval and transfer of
video files over WIFI/LAN, GPS tracking and much more. In addition, mDVR303 allows end-users to independently
manipulate these parameters for each camera if desired.

delay and the timing circuitry. The mDVR303 will remain ON until the shut-off delay time has been reached. The
system will then go through its normal shutdown procedures before completely powering down. The GND

This LED is to notify the operator that the vehicle’s ignition has been turned on which will then turn on the DVR.
This LED will be blinking when ignition is turned on and until DVR powers on. This LED will also blink very quickly
when ignition is turned off and until DVR powers off completely.
3.1.2 POWER LED

3.1.3 ERROR LED
This LED is to notify operator that the system has encountered a problem and cannot continue normal operation
when lit solid. Please call tech support for troubleshooting procedures. If the LED is flashing once about every five
seconds, the feature notifying you of a marked event has been checked in the system tab of the set-up menu.
3.1.4. VIDEO LOST INDICATOR LED
This LED is to notify operator when any of the enabled cameras loses video signal meaning the cable is cut, not
connected or the camera is having a problem.
3.1.5. RECORD LED
This LED indicates if the DVR is recording.
3.2. HDD ON/OFF LOCK
The HDD On/Off lock mechanism is employed to prevent unauthorized operators from removing the media
storage and tampering with video data. Turn key to position “Close” to lock media storage or “Open” to unlock. The
mDVR303 will NOT record video if the lock mechanism is in the “Open” position
3.3. MEDIA STORAGE REMOVAL
The media storage is hot swappable and can be removed and inserted without turning the ignition of the vehicle
off. This process will take roughly 10 to 20 seconds to complete. The feature is helpful when access to video is
needed but vehicle is still running its’ route. User can remove the media storage and insert a new one so that the
needed video can be retrieved right away.
1. Turn key to the “Open” position
This process is necessary so that the mDVR303 can properly close all video/audio files and safely turn the
HDD power off. Open the door and wait until only the ignition light is still light before removing the media.
2. Gently pull media storage out from the bay
3. Insert new media storage – Wait for at least 30 seconds (Power LED is OFF) then insert new/original
storage media, close the door.
4. Turn key to the “Close” or locked position
The mDVR303 will now turn the HDD power on, detect the new media and start recording again.
3.4. WIRELESS VIDEO RETRIEVAL
(Refer to SmartServer manual) Although the 303 does not have built in WIFI capability, the DVR can still
be made WIFI ready with the use of an external WIFI bridge available for purchase separately.
