Installation Guide
Overview
The Safety Vision PatrolRecorder™ 4C Police In-Car

System perform mobile surveillance and evidence
collection using digital recording technology. Components

be used for shift-based, continuous recording, rather than
event-based recording.)

operated in any vehicle used for law enforcement or
security. The system includes a GPS interface, and an
optional radar interface is available. Programming options
and on-screen display settings can be defined to meet
individual requirements.

MDVR, which features both manual event recording
and automatic input trigger recording for 7 input
triggers, plus a vehicle ignition trigger that
automatically powers up the PatrolRecorder™ 4C
system
