1.1 The MDVR-50 is a function extensibile, device designed for on-board video
monitoring and remote monitoring, It employs an embedded Linux platform, combined with the
most advanced H.264 video compression / decompression technology and GPS.
With an SD an card for storage, the MDVR can perform many functions such as
audio-video recording, vehicle's driving information recording and remote management.
With central control software, it can realize the central control of alarm linkage, remote
management and playback analysis. With a simple and modern appearance, the MDVR
is vibration-proof and installation-friendly, with advanced features.

of the equipment, please follow the instructions below.
1. When you install and operate this equipment , please obey the products guidelines and the
requirements of equipment connected to it.
2.Power supply andequipment ground: Voltage input rangeof the power source is DC 8V-36V.
Do not apply inverted power. Use local codes to select power wiring. When the equipment isshut
down ,it may becharged, so please avoid short circuit . Before connect with other external devices,
disconnectionthe equipment from thepower supply.The input modeof equipment sensor is level
mode. Input voltage below 4Vis considered aslow level,above 4V and below 30V is considered
highlevel. Above 30V will damage the equipment. Correctly connect theground wires of the device
to the vehicle. If you don't use this MDVR for an extended period, disconnect the power source
to extend service life.
3.Humidity requirements:Install equipment ina dry environment. Avoiddamp, misty places.

4.Installation position:
Toextend the lifeof the equipment, install it in a place with low vibration, such as behind the
driver'sseat. The equipmentshould be installednear the vehicle's ventilation outlet.
Equipment should be at least 6 inches (15 centimeters) away from other objects to assure
good air flowfor heat dissipation. Don't install it in an enclosed area, such as car trunk.
The MDVR can be installed on its right side.The external wiring must be anchored properly
and have flame retardant protection; wiring should not be bentor subject to wear and vibration.
Keep the equipment away from heat sources.
5.Equipment safety:
Ensure passengers in the driver can't interfer with or damage the MDVR, camera, wire and
other accessories. Don't install the equipment near other components in vehicle.When you install
equipment components including the MDVR, camera,accessories and wire,ensure they are
anchored properly before moving the vehicle to prevent damage to those components.
Installation notes:
1. Equipment contains theelectronic devices, pleasehandle gently during transport.
2. All installation andmaintenance must beperformed by a qualified professional.
3. Don't installed this product where corrosion from rain or other liquids exists.
4. Installation hardware must beable to support the weight of the MDVR.
5. Keep the MDVR away from the heat sources, dust andstrong magnetic fields.
6. Do not putheavy objects onthe MDVR.
7. Never expose the equipment to liquids when cleaning the vehicle.
8. Do not connect the output power to devicesthat are not recommended for it.
9. Keep fingersand other objects away from connectors while operating the equipment.
10. Please do not open the equipment without professional guidance.
11. Don't changeany modules in the MDVR when it is is powered on.

Power cable:
As the following photo shows, one end has a 6-pin white plug; connect it to the white connector on
backpanel. Connect the red and black wires directly to the car battery. The red cable is connected to
the positive terminal, the black cable is connected to the negative terminal. Connect the yellow cable
to the ignition line. MDVR equipment starts automatically after starting the car with the car key.
Autodelay stops the MDVR after shutting off the car. The yellow cable connects to the wire
where the car key powers on the dashboard lights (the key position before starting the motor).

1. Ensure the batteryvoltage is between8V-36V beforeconnection. Otherwise, it
will damage the equipment.
2. Before the battery cableis connected, ensure the insulation between the
conductors is sufficient prevent shortcircuits.
If a functional MDVR has above kinds of accessories, the 4-pin test cable is only used during
the test; please do not use it for the installation. When installing equipment, to use the 4-pin
audio extention cable. Function model MDVR usesthe 4 PIN-AV cable when connecting to the
audio input. Do not use this cable for video only input. Use the AV interface on the front panel
only. To use GPS, a GPS antenna must be installed.
Video cable of the simple MDVR is aviation head;there are some differences between the
corresponding interfaces. See Figure 2-11.

1. If you select GPS to determine vehicle speed, press ENTER. The MDVR must have a GPS module
installed and a good GPS signal.
2. If you select "Vehicle" to determine the speed, a pulse sensor is used to calculate the speed ratio
(coefficient = pulse /speed ). The pulse sensor connects to ports SPEED-A and SPEED-B.
3.Unit of speed (SPD UNIT) is switchable. You can also enable low speed thresholds and high speed
thresholds, and record when thresholds are exceded.

Select MOTION DETECTION in MANAGE TOOL menu to access the motion detection settings.
When moving objects are discovered in the detection area, information is written into the log file
(MD ALARM). If acontinuous alarm,or several alarms in 30 seconds, the system will write the
log every 30 seconds. You can view the information under manage tool Log query.
If you set Alarm recording as the recording mode, when motion detection occurs, video during
this period will also be recorded. You can playback this video through an alarm recordings
