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.

Introduction
Thank you for choosing GVD products. The M1184 and M1284 are the
heavyweights of GVD's M1 Series, the brand new line of mobile NVRs.
Powered by Intel®Core™ i5-3610ME, M1184 and M1284 are capable of
high performance and low power consumption. The integrated Intel®HD
(4000) Graphics that brings DirectX 11 also allows the NVRs to deliver
superb video and audio.
The M1184 and M1284 come with a WiFi module. If you opt for a 3G or
4G (plus GPS) module to go inside the mobile NVR, the mobile NVR can
stay constantly connected with the control center. And the intelligent power
management can prevent startup failure and allow 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
so 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 non-stop video recording.
Rugged and sealed M12 connectors are featured on the PoE LAN ports
of M1284. These connectors withstand harsh-industrial and weather
environments and ensure reliable connections in the vehicles and trains
that are moving. And the modular mechanical design also makes these
NVRs easy-to-install and maintain.
The simple and sturdy design makes the M1184 and M1284 ideal
for all kinds of transportation. They are your best choice for IP video
surveillance on the go.
