1. Introduction
The MDVR adopts ARM DSP fast dual-core processor running on the Linux embedded OS,
and also integrates the most advanced H.264 video encoding/decoding in IT industry, 3G/4G
network, GPS and WiFi, as well ascircuit protection, HDD shock absorption, HDD heating,
operation at wide voltage rangefeatures. It is characterized by strong functionality, good
scalability, good stability and high performance cost and extensively applied in public buses,
logistics vehicles, school buses, police cars, financial convoy cars and fuel tankers.
2. Preparations

1. To turn the electronic lock clockwise to lock it after HDD/SD card and SIM card
are installed; otherwise, the device will not be powered on;
2. To ensure prolonged and stable operation, it is advised to have the device
horizontally installed and take waterproof measures;
3.It is recommended to install 3G/4G, GPS and WiFi antennas in a place where it
will not be blocked signal or be able to receive strong signal;
4.This product has 8 channels of alarm inputs, 1 channels of alarm output, one
RS485, and two RS232 extended externalports which allow connection
toappropriate devices according to requirements of vehicles;
3. Power Connection
To connect the yellow cable of the power cord to ACC, the control circuit switch of the
vehicle, and the red and black ones are respectively connected to positive and negative electrode
of the vehicle power supply and then to vehicle MDVR. When testing the wiring condition,
twisting the red cable and yellow cable together and connect to the positive electrode, while the
black one is connected to the negative electrode.
Figure 2 Power Wiring Diagram
It is suggested that the MDVR power cable to be directly connected to the positive and negative
terminals of the vehicle battery cell (or the vehicle battery cell with fuse box). DO NOT connect
the MDVR power cable to any metal conductor subjects of the vehicle, which may influence
normal operation of the MDVR due to negative pulse; The power cable used for positive and
negative terminals shall have diameter of φ1.5mm or above.

Notice ,when connect 4channel 720P AHD cameras or 4*960H+1*1080P IPC camera ,need to
use High speed SD card（4K card，speed more than 80M/S）
4.2 Software Setting
After connecting the camera according to above connection
methods, from the Setup menu →Channel Mode interface, select
the desired connection mode and save it and the system will
automatically restart. Then, from the Setup menu →Record Setup
→Main Stream and IPC setting, where you can set video resolution,
frame rate, picture quality, audio recording and IP address for each
channel (Following figures show JH4-HYBRID setting interface.
Settings for the 8 channelsMDVR are similar).
After Channel Mode is selected, the MDVR will automatically restart and enter the related setting
interface. IPC setting is not available if only an analog camera is connected.
