The MSVR-168 is specially designed for the transportation industry. It can be set at single-channel real time or 4-channel time-lapse recording. It is equipped with 2.5” removable hard drive allowing users to easily swap the hard drive for continuous recording; plus, it provides an option for playback on a remote PC via an USB Mobile HDD Enclosure (CA-805U2-25M) at their convenience without physically moving the whole unit. Some key features include impact resistance, shock & vibration resistance, compact size, ignition power control and recording and programmable triggering text display.

The MSVR-168 is an affordable 4-ch mobile DVR (digital video recorder), comparable to the traditional mobile VCR systems. It is engineered with powerful digital functions to eliminate VCR disadvantages such as deteriorated video tapes, necessary external lock-box, frequent tape changes, and time-consuming video searches and playback. In the long run, it is more reliable, durable, and economical than mobile VCR systems.

The MSVR-168 is perfect for monitoring drivers, passengers, transportation attendants, strangers, and/or internal/external surroundings of the vehicles. It helps to reduce your liability losses, provide secure feeling for passengers, attendants, and/or drivers, and strengthen administrators’ supervision by supplying recorded images.

Transportation Surveillance Applications: School/city buses, airport shuttles, cars, taxis, RVs (recreational vehicles), emergency vehicles, fire department vehicles, police cars, trains/subway trains, vans, trucks, delivery service vehicles (of FedEx, DHL, UPS, Airborne, Post Office, … etc.), ferries, ships, bank cash transporters, prisoner buses, airplanes, and so on.

Important notes:

•	Actual duration could be different upon different environment and cameras used. Low movement area (lower traffic, slower vehicle speed, and parking place), nighttime and lower frame rate may extend recording duration. High movement area (higher traffic and faster vehicle speed), daytime, higher frame rate, and color camera may shorten recording duration.
•	Grade represents video quality based on different limitations of video data size for capturing and storing. It is not based on resolution. Grade D is the standard default quality setting. More detail, please see product manual.
