MOBILE DVR USER MANUAL
VX7AI PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Overview
VERSATILE VIDEO STORAGE
Equip your fleet with wireless capability and up to seven
camera views, including one IP, to provide an objective
eyewitness account of what really happened, to protect
innocent drivers and passengers from false claims and to
improve overall risk management for your organization.
The compact, economical Vulcan™ Series VX7AI MDVR
is tested and proven to represent the AngelTrax name for
quality, reliability and performance.
MULTIPLE CAMERA TYPES
Recording two types of camera feeds on the same
system enables the fleet operator to have the IP camera
installed in a key location where clarity is needed most
and to maximize storage by capturing the majority
of camera views with true high-definition or analog
cameras. The VX7AI records multiple camera channels:
six (6) channels D1, WD1, 720P, or up to 1080P for the
bulk of your camera views and one (1) IP channel up to
1080P for optimum clarity where details matter most.
HIGH CAPACITY STORAGE
The VX7AI comes standard with a storage capacity of
512GB in each slot (up to 1TB total). With no moving
parts, solid-state SD cards protect data through the
toughest terrain and are secured behind the MDVR’s
vandal-resistant, locking front cover. Storage can be
backed up to an optional fireproof box.
DELAYOFF SETTING
Selectable by the supervisor and programed at the time
of installation, the delay-off setting allows the system to
continue recording after the vehicle has been turned off,
providing video of post-trip tasks as they are completed
by the vehicle operator.
DRIVER BEHAVIOR
In addition to seven (7) channels of 1080P video, the
VX7AI is capable of recording driver behavior indicators
such as G-Force events and optional AI features.
