March Networks Mobile DVR Engineered for the Toughest Environments

The March Networks 5308 Mobile DVR is purpose-built for port authority, first responder and bus/light rail transit and severe industrial environments. The system is designed to the highest standards for shock, vibration, dust, moisture and EMI resistance. It supports up to eight cameras, and offers an extended operating temperature range, removable high-capacity internal storage, optional wireless video streaming, and synchronization of video with GPS vehicle location/speed data.

Extensive engineering of the hardware has the unit designed to the most aggressive standards (J1445, IP65 and others) for environmental protection. This protection extends beyond the sealed chassis and includes the removable hard-drive caddy, ruggedized drive, plus all gaskets and connectors. The fully compliant J1455 power system auto-switches between +12 VDC and +24 VDC environments to protect against vehicle power imperfections, and includes a back-up battery for stand-by power and extended video coverage on vehicle shutdown. Conduction cooling, an embedded Linux operating system and comprehensive hardware/software watchdog circuitry add further reliability.

The 5308 MDVR boasts a modular chassis and docking-station architecture that dramatically eases system installation – including horizontal and vertical mounting – and servicing, especially in tight vehicle locations. The removable power and wiring box supports both 100 ohm unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and RG-159 coax cabling, and provides individually conditioned power for all eight cameras (NTSC/PAL inputs).

The high-performance 5308 MDVR supports video capture at less than one frame per second/camera through to 30 fps/camera and stores video efficiently to a 30GB or 60GB removable hard-drive for days of storage on a single drive.
