Introduction.
Congratulations on the purchase of the Gatekeeper Systems 304-SD DVR. This Solid State Digital Video Recorder offers
H.264 compression, the same compression technique as used in Blue Ray disk players, which produces crystal clear, best in
class, video imagery.
In place of a spinning hard drive the 304-SD records to a removable SD memory card. Utilizing state of the art surface mount
components the 304-SD is built to withstand the shock and vibration of vehicle operation. In order to play back the recorded
video the 304-SD utilizes custom video viewing software, the “G4 Viewer”, a very easy to use application which allows users to
quickly find the video of interest and save a clip. With the press of a button users can print images and then send them to
qualified staff.
The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle before working on the electrical system of the vehicle when installing,
servicing or removing Gatekeeper products.
All Gatekeeper employees or contractors who preform electrical work (install, service or remove a DVR, installing a backup
camera system for example) on a customer vehicle shall ensure that the battery in the vehicle is disconnected before work
commences.
Customers shall be responsible for addressing any systems on the bus which require attention as a result of disconnecting
the bus battery. This includes, but is not limited to, entering a radio theft code, programing radio stations etc.
Glossary.
DVR
Digital Video Recorder; A DVR functions similarly to a VCR, except it uses a disk to record, as
opposed to video-tapes.
H.264
H.264 contains a number of features that allow it to compress video much more effectively than
older standards and offers up to twice the compression of the current standards.
OSD
On Screen Display; Is an image superimposed on a screen picture commonly used to display
information such as volume; channel; time; status, etc. and can be used to change the specific
values for all configurable options.
SD Card
Secure Digital Card is a non-volatile memory card format for use in mobile devices.
UTC
Coordinated Universal Time is a time standard based on International Atomic Time with leap
seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation.

Important Safeguards and Warnings.
The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle before working on the electrical system of the vehicle when
installing, servicing or removing Gatekeeper products.
All Gatekeeper employees or contractors who preform electrical work (install, service or remove a DVR, installing a
backup camera system for example) on a customer vehicle shall ensure that the battery in the vehicle is
disconnected before work commences.
Customers shall be responsible for addressing any systems on the bus which require attention as a result of
disconnecting the bus battery. This includes, but is not limited to, entering a radio theft code, programing radio
stations etc.
Remove Main Power Fuse or Disconnect Vehicle Batteries Prior To Any Electrical Work Or
Jump Starting The Vehicle.
Firmware updates (available from www.gatekeeper-systems.com when released) are system specific, firmware
updates must only be applied to the 304-SD system. If this firmware is applied to any other Gatekeeper Systems
DVR warranty will be void.
The 304-SD has an operating temperature range of -40° C to +65° C. It is good practice to ensure that the 304-
SD is mounted in an area in which acceptable temperature ranges are experienced.
Do not remove the cover of the 304--SD series as this will void any warranty.
When a system has shipped with a GPS antenna, ensure that the GPS antenna is mounted externally on the roof
of the bus, magnetic side down.
If at any time there is a question about how to proceed, contact Gatekeeper Systems Inc. at 1-888-666-4833 or 604-
864-6187 immediately for directions. Review all installation documentation, including technical bulletins. Additional
Technical Bulletins and Product Tutorials can be found in the Gate section of www.gatekeeper-systems.com
