II. Installation Guidelines
II-1 Installation Environment Requirements
In order to ensure the reliable operation of your Mobile Digital Recorder (MDR) within the terms of the product
warranty, follow these instructions for installing your MDR
a) Follow all electrical codes, adhere to all requirements for your vehicle and for other connected
equipment while installing and operating the MDR.
b) Use only a regulated 12-volt DC or 24-volt DC (2 ~ 3 Amps) certified power supply for installation in
vehicles. The MDR can handle power ranges from 7v ~ 28v DC. Follow the installation and
operating instructions provided to ensure a steady and reliable source of installation. Handle all
electric equipment and connections properly to avoid injuries.
c) Even though the recording unit may not be turned on, live power exists in the mounting assembly
and precautions should be taken to avoid shock. Disconnect the power supply from its source
before connecting or disconnecting the MDR mounting assembly from the power supply.
d) Do not attach any device specified or approved by Vendor.
e) Do not attach powered input leads that exceed 12-volt DC at 1.5 Amps OR 5-volt DC at 1.5 Amps
supply on any one connection.
f) Attach the MDR ground cable to the vehicle correctly to complete the power circuit.
g) Install the MDR in a dry location shielded from direct contact with excessive humidity and moisture,
rain or other sources of liquid spills. Do not install on a recessed surface where liquids may
accumulate or under surfaces where liquids may drip.
h) Do not handle the MDR with wet hands, while standing in water, or while in contact with other
sources of water or moisture that could create a shock hazard.
i) Install the MDR out of direct sunlight and away from direct sources of heat.
j) Do not mount the unit to a surface subject to excessive vibration.
II-2 Mounting / Enclosing the MDR
a) MDR may be operated in a totally sealed enclosure with no cooling airflow, ensure that the operating
temperature of the MDR does not exceed 140°F (60°C) or that the standing temperature does not
exceed 175°F (80°C). The minimum operating temperature for the MDR is -20°F (-28°C). If the
minimum temperature is expected to exceed connect an auxiliary heat source.
b) MDR assembly may be mounted on a flat surface, provide at least 6 inches (15cm) clearance for
cooling airflow around the remaining sides to provide adequate heat dissipation.
c) To clean any surface of the MDR, use only cleaners approved for electronic equipment or
components. Avoid chemical or household cleaners.
d) Disconnect MDR mounting assembly from the power supply when not in use for extended period of
time.

II-7 MDR Installation Location Guidelines
Following are the general guidelines for the installation purposes. Choose a location in the vehicle
that meets the following items:
Power: It is recommended that the MDR be connected to the vehicle ignition. Battery power is
used only when the vehicle is running. MDR could drain any vehicle battery over time if
the ignition is not turned off.
Connection: Connect only to appropriate power supply and ensure proper grounding of the circuit.
Moisture: Protect unit and connections from environmental sources of moisture and liquid spills.
Temp: Do not install where unit temperature will exceed F140°F (60°C), fall below -20°F (-28°C)
or store the unit where temperatures rise above 175°F (80°C). Avoid direct exposure to
sunlight.
Ventilation: Provide sufficient ventilation with a minimum of 6 inches cooling clearance to ensure
proper operating temperature for the unit.
Vibration: If necessary, provide additional shock mounting to prevent damage and wear by
excessive vibration.
Clearance: Front clearance of 16.5 cm or 6.49 inch is required to slide the recording module from
the mounting assembly.
Wiring: Install where mounting assembly wires have sufficient clearance and will not be crimped
or subject to wire insulation damages due to vibration.
Access: Secure the MDR so that passengers or drivers cannot tamper or damage the unit,
cameras, wires or other accessories. Do not mount where access to any other vehicle
component will be restricted.
Injury: Install the unit, cameras, accessories and wires so that no injuries can be caused
through impact with equipment during vehicle operation. Ensure that all transportation
regulations are followed to avoid passenger injury should they come in contact with the
installed equipment.

GPS Antenna (Optional):
zMDR is capable of embedding GPS coordinates and speed
on the video.
zMDR uses a passive GPS technology which does not
require any service subscription from local service provider.
zPassive GPS receives the signal from satellite as latitude,
longitude and speed after negotiating with the satellite. It
takes approximately 3-5 minutes after boot up to start the
negotiation process with the satellite to receive the signals.
When the negotiation is completed a graphical icon at the
live display shows the availability of GPS.
zIf the negotiation fails an X is marked on the graphical icon
showing the failure of satellite communication.
zThis GPS option can provided the time synch features for
MDR device;
zConnect the GPS antenna provided with your set (if ordered
GPS equipped DVR) and hang it such that the front of the
antenna is upwards facing the sky.
Network Connection (RJ45):
zUsing the network cable to link with MDR to network system, allow browse into the system using
client software or remote access to MDR;
