Public Notice Compliance
American Bus Video Inc. makes no representations concerning the legality of certain product
applications such as the making, transmission, or recording of video and/or audio signals of others
without their knowledge and / or consent. We provide public notice decals of recording of Audio &
Video for public awareness with shipments of systems. Should you purchase single components
these public notice decals will not be provided, should you require them please ask. We encourage
you to check and comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations before
engaging in any form of surveillance or any transmissions of radio frequencies.
Basic PC Skills Required (Agency implies Stewardship)
The Mobile Digital Video Recorders (MDVR) we provide operate on a PC program viewer called a
Graphical User Interface or GUI. These programs have been designed to be intuitive and require
no formal training to operate the program, as long as the user possesses basic PC skills. This is
where some problems with PC skills begin for some who are not well versed in the use of their
district or company computers. Use of these GUI programs are predicated on the
assumption/requirement that the customer 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.
Simply stated; if the intended customer system operator is incapable of downloading files from the
internet, open, running or executing application files, cannot download Media Player Program
codec plug-ins, cannot save a file, transfer a file or browse for a file, nor make a screen capture of
the program viewer GUI, cannot send a saved file by e-mail, cannot save a file to a portable digital
storage device, then you are not ready for a digital vehicle surveillance system. Basic PC skills are
a requirement of all who intend to operate these products.
Notice on Tampering:
Mobile video solutions like the SD1m, SD4m and SD4 are of conventional multi component design
with heavy-duty metal case camera, steel-locking devices to limit the access to the memory cards
and deter vandalism and driver tampering. Non conventional solutions like those listed on this page
are susceptible to vandalism and driver tampering so they are not intended for or well suited for
applications or environments where those being monitored have direct access to the recording
devices. All applications or environments that expose the devices to vandalism or tampering should
be equipped with the conventional vandal resistant products such as the SD1m, SD4m and SD4
series systems.
Risk of Loss
All items purchased from American Bus Video Inc. are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This
means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.
Security Tampering Decal:
These are sold in rolls of 100 & 500, these decals self-destruct when removed so when placed over SD card
slot they can deter & detect tampering or unauthorized card access.

Resistant
Important Notice:
The SDBB “Bare Bones” DVR is a low cost configuration with abbreviated programming lacking some features of our standard
mobile video solutions in order to reduce the cost. The SDBB does not have a metal locking case, mounting brackets (mounts
with Velcro) no GPS option, and comes with a portable power connection (permanent hard wire option available). Those who
require GPS On Screen Mapping on the video playback should invest in the SD4mG series as they offer this feature at a low
cost.
