2.6 Simple Instruction for Common Interface Wire
A:Power Cord
As shown by below pictures, one end is a 6PIN white plug, which will be connected to the 6PIN power
input connector on the rear panel of the device, the red and black wires are connected directly to the
vehicle battery or the gathered electric which go through battery and fuse; red wire links to positive while
the black line links to negative, the yellow wire links to firing wire, the main device automatically start up
when the vehicle s key is turned on, and shut off automatically after a delay when vehicle s key is
turned off; yellow wire links to the position when vehicle s key turn on all dashboard lights (the position
before vehicle starts the motor).
Power Line
Alarm I/O
1:Need to make sure the battery voltage is between 8V-36V before connecting, otherwise above voltage
will burn out the device
2:Pay attention to the insulation among the power cord after connection to prevent the short circuit of the
power cord which will burn out the battery and other electrical equipment in the vehicle
3:It is recommended to link the yellow wire to the firing wire, otherwise the device will not support the
delayed shutdown;
4:The installation of vehicle-mounted is recommended to directly take from battery positive and negative,
or pick from the main electrical with fuse, do not use ground because ground will produce negative pulses
which will interfere with the normal operation of the host. The diameter of positive and negative power
cord must be more than 1.5mm;
Above are the general ways of MDVR rear plate interface wiring, 4PIN testing wire is only used in the test which
is not recommended to be used in installation, it is recommended to use 4PIN audio and video extension cord during
installation; MDVR need dedicated 4PIN output wires when it is connected to the audio and video output, while the
3.5 Phone Jack interface in the front panel can also output audio and video. Its peripheral interface can be optional
3G/GPS, which then will need to use 3G antenna and GPS antenna, as shown in Figure 2-11

B peed alarm setting system menu - alarm settings - speed setting
If the vehicle selects the GPS to get speed information which requires normal status of the GPS signal, then
we need to set a high threshold speed limits, such as 100km/hthatisthemaximumspeed limit, alarm is
opened when vehicle is started;, vehicle will output alarm when the vehicle speed exceeds 100KM / H
If you choose to obtain speed information from the vehicle, it must be connected to the speed pulse sensor,
which is used to calculate the speed ratio (coefficient = pulse/speed), the pulse sensor is connected to the two
wires SPEED-A and SPEED-B of our device, the speed ratio will be measured according to the set speed and
pulse during vehicle s moving, which is a little complicated to operate; simple wiring in Figure 3-5.
Pulse sensor
C The acceleration alarm recording system menu - alarm settings - acceleration
Impact acceleration can be understood to be for a three-dimensional XYZ coordinate axis which can denote
three groups of status---up and down, left and right, front and rear; the bouncing up and down, accelerate,
Emergent brake, rollover, sharp turns, etc. during the moving process of the vehicle can all be expressed in
XYZ. Threshold needs to be set by an associated value, it is firstly needed a calibration after the installation
onto the vehicle, the calibration means to clear parametersX/Y/Z,secondly measure the allowed range of
emergent brake & acceleration & bouncing up and down as well as the change value of a sharp turn of the
vehicle during the operation, thereby to determine which axis s value changes a lot. These run status will be
in real-time display and change. After setting the threshold, when the vehicle runs exceed above threshold,
the alarm will be uploaded if the "alarm" opens.
D Motion detection alarm recording System Menu - Alarm Settings - Motion Detection
Turn on the motion detection enabled switch, set the sensitivity level of high, medium and low based on the
need, general settings is medium, and the next step is mostly to set the sensing area of the motion detection,
motion detection area will use diagonal set, please refer to Figure 4-30. As long as you set the motion
detection area and set the video mode as alarm recording, the image move will trigger the video to generate
alarm recording files (Note: it can only take effect after setting and saving)
3.3 Video settings
2 Timer recording
Firstly modify to be timing video under the System menu - Video Settings - General Settings - Video
mode, save and return to the previous menu level to be video plan, and then set the time period of the
video; save it after setting finished.
3 Alarm recording
Firstly modify to be alarm recording under the System menu - Video Settings - General Settings - Video
mode, then set the alarm pre-record time (range 0 -60s) and alarm video delay (30-900s); alarm output
delay (5S-255S), which can be set according to the actual external alarm device.
Secondly it is needed to install the corresponding external alarm input device, such as the emergency
button set by sensor, power switch for open/close door, brakes lights and other sensors; the following are
the several main alarm settings of this device:
A:The sensor input alarm system, system menu - alarm settings - sensor settings
Set the menu (in Figure 4-21) with high or low trigger level, and then turn on the alarm; this menu is
corresponding with four external alarm input SENSOR IN (which can be for eight external alarm output),
it must be connected to the corresponding external sensing switch device, such as door-magnet power
supply, emergency button, turning signal switch, brake lights (Figure 2-12), etc; rough connections are
shown in Figure 3-4.

After wiring and parameters setting of PTZ, users can only use remote to control PTZ after
selecting the channel access to PTZ, for example, if PTZ connects through channel 2, then
you need to switch to channel 2 maximize on the monitor interface to control it.
Setup steps
Firstly, select the PTZ protocol: divided into PELCO-D and PELCO-P protocol, most of peoplewill choose
PELCO-D
Secondly, set the baud rate: there are four options 1200/2400/4800/9600 which must be corresponded with
thebaudrateonPTZ
Thirdly, set the address code: directly input the address value corresponding with PTZ setting, corresponding
is required. Generally the defaulted PTZ address code is 1, PTZ address code has adjustable DIP, it is needed
to set different address codes to identify when there is many PTZs.
Fourthly, wiring: Connect control wire 485 on the PTZ to the RS485-A positive pole, connect the other one
to the RS485-B negative pole.

Fifthly, there are three ways of wiring, the first way is connecting the 485 control wire to the wire 485A and
485B on host, connecting the video cable to the host video input and then provide power to PTZ; this kind
of wiring needs to set the MDVR host data be corresponding to PTZ data, and then use the remote controller
or platform to remotely control PTZ.
The second way, the head of the 485 control wire directly connect to the three-dimensional control keyboard,
do not need to connect the MDVR host, the video cable connects to the host video input, separately power
supply to the PTZ and three-dimensional keyboard, and then set the keyboard parameters to be corresponding
with PTZ. This wiring way is the most practical one, because it uses three-dimensional keyboard to control
PTZ, which is faster, easier and more practical. It is recommended to use this way to install PTZ
The third way is to connect to both car host and three-dimensional control keyboard, so that both can be
controlled and platform remote can also be controlled.

As shown by Figure 3-8, the screen show of playing the file in Figure 3-9

Step 1: Install the SIM card, 3G card which supports WCDMA / EVDO / TD-CDMA, detailed installation please refer
to Chapter II, 2.2, and 2.7
Step 2: Enter into the system menu after starting up, firstly modify the host s device number, System Menu -
General Settings - Vehicle Information - Device Number, device number range is from 00000 to 99999. Server
identifies the host according to the device number, so it is very important to modify the device number.
If the modified device number cannot be reported sometimes, please check the server device number has
been used or not.
Step 3: Modify the vehicle identification number; the vehicle information displayed on gServer platform is based on
vehicle identification number. If it is not modified, it will display 00000 in default. If all are in default, it would cause
inconvenience to find vehicles. So it is proposed to modify the vehicle identification number.
Step 4: Enter another menu settings, System Menu - General Settings - Network Settings, set the server IP and
control port, the server
can be self-built, and can be affiliated to the manufacturer s server as well, enter the server IP and control
port, which is typically 6608, the save by end.
The main process of gServer quick reporting is as Figure 3-10 below.

Step 6: Previous steps are the network connecting ways. When the network is connected, the next step is
the operation of software management on the PC gServer, which is divided into two steps. One step is the
gServer Manage username allocation and vehicle adding, if it is a self-built server, this work can be done
internally; if affiliated to manufacturer s server, this will need assist from the technical staff to add. The
other step is to log in gServer Client by user name to review, which ultimately achieves gServer reporting,
please refer to the CD-ROM gServer technical documentation for client's detailed operation
C:local IP settings
Local IP setting is the setting after the RJ45 port access
the network cable, set the local IP and central server
