1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: IVS-300 Series Embedded System
The IVS-300 fanless embedded system is powered by Intel®Core™i5-6300U processor
or Intel®Celeron®processor J1900. It is designed for vehicle surveillance applications that
require minimum installation space.
The IVS-300 accepts a wide range of DC power input (9 V–30 V), allowing it to be
powered anywhere. Wi-Fi and WWAN capabilities plus four RJ-45 Ethernet connectors
with PoE ensure smooth network connectivity. The display interface options include VGA
and HDMI with two audio jacks.
Two USB 3.0 ports, two RS-232 ports, one RS-422/485 port and one OBD-II port provide
rich I/O options for various applications. The IVS-300 embedded systems are all capable
of supporting two 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drives.
1.2 Benefits
The IVS-300 embedded system has the following benefits:
Complete integration saves solution development time and cost
Secure storage with SATA SSD supported
Compact size saves space
