What Is an MDVR?

These days, it's no longer enough to have a fleet that simply meets the technical requirements to operate. Instead, the company, drivers, cargo and vehicles need to be supervised against any unknown or unexpected risk. 

‍

And when it comes to supervising vehicle fleets, a Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR) system is now the best option. We know this at HUNTER because we have our own MDVR system, Hunter Video.

‍

That way, we use the best features of the products and technology on the market and add our more than 15 years of security experience. So if you want to know what an MDVR is, read this article to get the  information you need.

‍

Origin of the MDVR 

The MDVR is the evolution of the Digital Video Recorder (DVR). The big innovation of the DVR was the introduction of a device with technology capable of recording and playing back images in digital format. 

‍

Its contribution to recording and broadcasting television programs substantially improved programming quality. From there, the DVR kept evolving with more sophisticated technology capable of recording in different settings, and that's how the MDVR came about. 

‍

An MDVR is a digital recording system designed for vehicles. Because they are constantly on the move, fleets of taxis, trucks, vans or any other type of vehicle require some special features. 

‍

Main features of an MDVR

• Provides live, real-time images of the events it records.
• Records images of events as they happen and allows access to the recordings later.
• The system can be installed in one or several vehicles.
• Images can be monitored remotely.
• Each vehicle can have several cameras in different locations.

‍

In addition to these features, our MDVR system, Hunter Video, adds other elements that make it unique and exclusive in the market. These are:

‍

• Monitors events inside the vehicle through interior cameras.
• Monitors traffic events through exterior cameras. 
• Uses a wireless network connection to access images.
• Captures images in HD.
• The system is vibration-resistant, so it works on any type of road or route. 
• Images and recordings can be accessed remotely through a web platform and Android and iOS mobile apps.
• Highly durable equipment that withstands the test of time and harsh weather conditions. 
• The web platform shows images from all of a vehicle's cameras on a single screen.
• Includes a Playback section to fast-forward or rewind recordings.
• Images come with real-time audio.
• Cameras record and transmit images with night vision or in low-light areas.
• Access and control through Hunter's monitoring center.

Benefits of an MDVR for drivers

There's no doubt that drivers gain many benefits from an MDVR. Some of the most important are:

‍

• The ability to prove they were driving correctly if they're involved in a traffic accident.
• Additional viewing angles for parking maneuvers or moving forward along their routes.
• Route supervision that deters theft and other crimes against the vehicle and/or passengers.
• Footage and data that show their driving habits so they can improve them.
• Evidence to clear them of liability before insurance companies and company obligations.
• Better communication with the company while on the road.
• Fraud prevention by verifying the driver's identity when a vehicle is moved.
