1 Introduction
Welcome to the MVR1204 Software Installation Guide. The MVR1204 is a H.264
Mobile Video Recorder. The MVR1204 includes an internal 3G modem to
automatically upload recorded video clips to MiX Telematics tracking software.
Video events are triggered and controlled by the FM on-board computer and are
recorded on an event basis and associated and stored with driver violations
and detailed trip information. Customers are able to remotely monitor the
vehicle performance and retrospectively download a high resolution video of a
specific event or incident.
