Introduction.
Congratulations on the purchase of the Gatekeeper Systems 816-HD DVR. This 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.
The 816-HD records to a removable Hard Disk Drive, The COMRAD™. The COMRAD™ contains up to 2 spinning or solid state
drives. Utilizing state of the art surface mount components the 816-HD is built to withstand the shock and vibration of vehicle
operation. In order to play back the recorded video the 816-HD utilizes custom video viewing software, “G4 Viewer”, which is 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.

Using the COMRAD™ Docking Station.
The 816-HD utilizes a COMRAD™ drive system which can contain up to Two hard disk drives (max 2TB total Capacity) making it
extremely portable and thereby easy to download; view and share video files.
NOTE: It is essential that the COMRAD™ Docking Station be physically connected to the COMRAD™ and also connected to a PC by
using either the supplied USB or ESATA cable prior to the ac power adapter cable being applied.
Failure to follow this procedure may result in damage to the COMRAD™ Docking Station; the COMRAD™, or both devices.
The COMRAD™ Docking Station is a small device designed
specifically for the retrieval and viewing of recorded video from
an 816-HD system. To use the COMRAD™ Docking Station the
COMRAD™ must first be removed from the 816-HD, ensure
that the 816-HD has fully powered down prior to its removal.
Once the COMRAD™ has been removed place it on a flat, stable
surface in proximity to a Windows based PC.
The COMRAD™ Docking Station is of a Keyed design
ensuring correct alignment of the pins contained on the
COMRAD™ to the housing on the COMRAD™ Docking
Station.
Align the Alignment key, (located on the right hand side of
the COMRAD™ Docking Station when looking at the back),
on the COMRAD™ Docking Station to the Alignment Key
Slot on the COMRAD™ and push the two devices
together.
Once this is complete connect either the USB or ESATA
cable to the back of the COMRAD™ Docking Station and insert the other end of the cable into the corresponding port on a
Windows based PC. Once these connections have been made, insert the powered AC Power adapter to the back of the
COMRAD™ Docking Station. Once Video has been reviewed; clipped; exported, etc. and the COMRAD™ is to be replaced into the
816-HD remove the power from the COMRAD™ Docking Station before disassembling the two devices.
Once the COMRAD™ Docking Station has been connected and powered up, the
indicator LED’s on the rear will become active. If the COMRAD™ Docking Station has
been connected via the supplied USB cable the Yellow LED will be illuminated below the
title USB. As the COMRAD™ Docking Station is being accessed the LED’s for HDD1 and
HDD2 will alternate as the drives are being accessed, this situation will only occur if the
COMRAD™ has Two hard disk drives installed. The ESATA/USB connection will auto-
detect which cable is being used of the transfer of data between the COMRAD™
Docking Station and the PC.

15
Once the COMRAD™/ COMRAD™ Docking Station/Computer connection has
been made, when G4 Incident Management Software is launched underneath the
HDD heading the connected COMRAD™/ COMRAD™ Docking Station will appear.
Please note that even if the COMRAD™ has two internal Hard Disk Drives only One
HDD will appear when the COMRAD™/ COMRAD™ Docking Station is connected.
