3. MDVR Installation Guide
3.1. Preparation before installation
1. Tools: cross screwdriver, set copper wrench, electrical waterproof tape, cable tie,
wire stripper (oblique pliers), needle-nosed pliers, 12V---36V test pencil (multi-
meter) and so on.
2. Make sure that there is a storage medium(SD card/hard disk) for recording storage.
3. Select the location where the terminal equipment is installed: mainly consider the
wiring safety and convenience of installation, avoid high temperature, ensure

waterproof and shockproof.
a) Waterproof: choose a location that is not easy to enter the water, and keep
away from the air conditioner as much as possible to prevent condensation from
accumulating inside and outside the terminal equipment when the temperature
changes, which seriously affects the service life of the product;
b) Shockproof: the terminal cannot be suspended or installed in a long-term
vibration position;
c) Anti-high temperature: the terminal should avoid the high temperature part
inside the car;
d) Wiring: some large vehicles have a total control switch. At this time, the
installation position of the terminal equipment should also consider the connection of
the power cable. The wiring should be wrapped and secured with electrical
waterproof tape and cable tie.
3.2. Wiring method
Wiring from the rear panel, details of each interface definition can be seen from 2.4.4
Rear Panel Interface Definition:
POWER: Red line connects to input positive (PWR+)
Blackline connects to input negative (PWR-)
Yellow line connects to start signal (ACC)
CAM (1-4): one port for one camera
AV OUT: GND: 12V power output negative
12VDC: 12V output positive
AUDIO: output audio signal
CVBS_OUT: output CVBS (video) signal
Note:
1. Confirm that the battery voltage is between 8-36V, otherwise the equipment will be
burned out.
2. Pay attention to the insulation of the power cable to prevent the power supply from
short-circuiting the battery.
3.The equipment power supply must take power from the positive and negative poles
of the battery, can not be grounded to make the ground, the ground will produce a
negative pulse to interfere with the normal operation of the host.
3.3. Booting
In System Settings -> Power On/Off
If it is set to ignition mode(ACC), it needs to meet three conditions to start:
a) POWER that requires POWER+ to connect to high level, PWR- to ground
b) POWER ACC connects to the ACC ignition wire of the car
c) Needs to lock the electronic lock on the front panel
When initial booting, the default isACC ignition mode
