2.3.3. POWER CABLE
Below is a power cable, one end is 4PIN white connector which can be insert into the back panel
of MDVR. Red cable and black cable can be connected with the battery of vehicle; red cable is “+”, black
is “–”, yellow is ignition. MDVR will start to work automatically when you turn on the engine, it switches
off when you turn off the engine. The yellow cable should be connected with the key which is related with
the dash board.
Attention：
1) Make sure the voltage is 12V to 36 V before you connect the MDVR to the battery, otherwise, the
MDVR will be damaged by the power which is higher than 36V.
2) Pay attention to the insulation of the wires to avoid short circuit.
3) Yellow cable much be connected with the engine, otherwise, the MDVR will not support the feature
for shut-down delay, which will result in video loss.

2.3.5. ALARM INPUT / OUTPUT
MDVR has 8 alarm input and 2 alarm output. Alarm input works to inspect the electrical level, it can
detect different signals of the vehicle, like braking, turning direction, etc. Please see the diagram below
to simulate the working mode. When you press the brake, the MDVR will detect the high level pulse,
otherwise, it detects the low level pulse.
+24V
Alarm output is level output with 200mA drive capability. If user wants to drive a device of large
power, an external relay is needed.

3．SETTING
3.1. CP4 CONTROL PANEL
User can set parameter, preview, playback and export data via control panel CP4
Remark:
When reporting to CMS server, use serial number.
When using Android pad, you need to select vehicle number, as when insert the wifi hot spot to USB port
of the 4120, the hot spot will get the vehicle number and change its SSID to vehicle number.
