Integrated DVR

Microbus introduces the Integrated Video Recorder (iDVR) feature to the Microbus M-PC2 In-vehicle computer. As an optional extension to the wide range of features already supported by the M-PC2, iDVR records audio and video in MPEG2 format. By using a dedicated video encoder there is little or no affect on the main CPU performance and therefore existing applications can run unaltered.

·       Easy to use DVD quality recording whilst in the vehicle
·       No Back Office Software required
·       Continues to record audio and video during playback
·       Recordings can be time stamped with easy retrieval
·       Timestamp storage to local disk, Flash Drive, or DVD
·       Full shift recording available for download
·       “Car too close” feature

·       Little or no affect on the CPU’s performance

Ease Of Use

Once started, the application will record audio and video to the integrated M-PC2 hard disk until the application is stopped. This can be set to always start when the system turns on or may be used selectively. Incident logging is simply activated by pressing the start button and then, by pressing the stop button, a timestamp is created. The incident may be reviewed and both the start and end time can be adjusted in 5 minute, 1 minute or 10 second steps with storage to local disk, Flash Drive, external hard drive or DVD. The "Car too close" feature enables easy assessment that a car was within 0.5 seconds of the vehicle in front. For more details or a demonstration please contact Microbus. 

On Screen Display

This optional module allows the user to overlay text on video recordings made using the Integrated Digital Video Recorder. The text is saved as an integral part of the recording and remains in place for playback. For example, GPS position.
