Hardware Requirements
Recording data is one of the most important parts for video surveillance, and hard disk drives are one of
the most important components to safely store the recording data.
It is always recommended that you use the hard disk drives certified by GVD. Find the list of the GVD-
certified hard disk drives at the link below:
http://www.gvdigital.com/gvdweb/html/document/Support_Lists/Certified%20HDD%20List.pdf
NOTE:
* GVD does not guarantee the system performance if a HDD model that is not certified by GVD is used.
* GVD recommends that you always use enterprise-level SATA hard drives for GVD enterprise NVR, Failover Server, Backup Server,
Extended Storage because it supports TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery), higher MTBF, higher Duty Cycles and typically include a
sensor for rotation and vibration.

Mobile NVR M1142 Quick Start Guide 1
Introduction
Thank you for choosing GVD products. The M1142 is the mobile NVR
that comes in the rightful size among M1 Series, GVD's brand new line
of mobile NVRs. Powered by Intel®Celeron™ 1020E, the M1142 is a
fanless NVR to deliver fair CPU calculation with low power consumption.
The integrated Intel®HD Graphics 4000 Controller that brings DirectX11 also allows the NVRs to deliver
superb video and audio.
The M1142 comes with rich data connection including 3G/4G
and WiFi to stay tethered with the control center all the time. The
intelligent power management prevents startup failure and allows
the control center to watch over the car battery usage through 3G,
4G or WiFi. Isolated DIO on the other hand keeps the mobile NVR
connected with other in-vehicle devices such as a car door sensor,
and the change of DIO states can be sent to the control center.
If you opt for a GPS (plus 3G or 4G) module to go inside the mobile NVR, the control center can instantly
locate the vehicle that carries the mobile NVR on the map. Also on option is a G-sensor to measure the
vibration every couple of minutes and feed the data back to the control center. On the other hand the
mobile NVR is verified to be anti-shock and anti-vibration to guarantee more protection to the hard disk
drives onboard and ensures reliable video recording.
Four PoE LAN ports are featured on the M1142. Each port delivers power up to 25.5W and simultaneously
transfers data up to 1000 Mbps over a single CAT-6 cable. The
highly integrated mechanical design on the other hand allows
the M1142 to efficiently distribute the heat generated by the PoE
circuit and therefore makes the M1142 a very stable fanless NVR
with PoEs. The mechanical design is also modular to make the
NVR easy-to-install and maintain.
The simple and sturdy design makes the M1142 ideal for all kinds
of vehicles. It is your best choice for IP video surveillance on the
go.

V+ GND IGN
V+ Positive polarity of DC-in power Connected to car battery (12V/24V)
GND Ground of DC-in power Connected to battery GND
IGN Ignition signal input Connected to the ACC power of vehicle
Cautions:
1. Be sure about the DC-in power voltage you are going to tap. Supplying power over 35V will damage the system.
2. The ignition input allows ACC power of car (12Vdc) or bus/truck (24Vdc). Supplying power over 35V to the ignition
input will damage the system.

*Mode 0 is the ATX mode that doesn't feature any power on/off delay. When the mobile NVR is set to this mode, only the power
button on the front panel is available to power on/off the mobile NVR.
**Mode 1 is the AT mode which is the default setting. In this mode, the system auto powers on once DC power is applied. However
the system will try to repeat the power-on cycle if the system failed to boot to OS.
***Mode 2 is a mode dedicated to the remote on/off control featured at the rst PoE port from the left at the rear panel of the mobile
NVR. Connect an external latched switch to the DC-in power source (8~35V) and ignition input. When the switch is off, the ignition
signal is asserted to initiate a power-on. When the switch is on, the ignition signal is de-asserted to initiate system shutdown. No
power-on/off delays are available with this mode.
