performance and reliability. With support for up to 24 video camera channels, the Y724 provides
high-definition video recording (1080P), high-efficiency video compression (H.264), and smart
thermal management technology. The state-of-the-art suspension system will compensate for the
shocks, vibrations, and environmental stresses your vehicle will encounter over the course of its
daily operations.
The Y724 maximizes flexibility in its support for touch-screen, wired, and infrared remote-
control interfaces. In addition, Gatekeeper’s ‘G4 Connect™’ application will provide wireless
(WiFi) access to your video data via an Android compatible mobile device (not included).
