What is 4-channel vehicle DVR?

The 4-channel vehicle DVR is a type of in-car monitoring system that supports up to 4 camera inputs. It can monitor the front, rear, and left side of the vehicle, as well as the driver's cabin. Typically equipped with a large-capacity SD card and hard drive, it enables long-term video recording and allows for online playback and replay through corresponding software.

Installation positions for the four cameras are as follows

1. Front-view camera: Mounted at the front of the vehicle to monitor the road ahead, obstacles, and the vehicle's speed and distance.

2. Rear-view camera: Installed at the rear to monitor rear vehicles, pedestrians, and the vehicle's reverse trajectory.

3. Left and right cameras: Installed on the left or right side of the vehicle to monitor the vehicle's sides and surrounding pedestrians or vehicles.

4. Built-in camera: Usually installed in the driver's cabin to monitor the driver's actions, such as fatigue, smoking, etc.

Key features of the 4-channel vehicle DVR include

1. Real-time 1080p video monitoring: Allows real-time viewing of the vehicle's interior and surroundings through devices like PCs or mobile apps, aiding in monitoring the vehicle's operational status and the surrounding environment.

2. HD video playback: Enables the replay of recorded videos, helping in locating specific time or events, such as identifying involved vehicles or resolving disputes.

3. Alarm functions: Can be set to trigger alarms when specific events (e.g., theft, collisions) occur, automatically recording and saving videos.

4. In-car GPS positioning system: When used with a GPS module, it can display the vehicle's real-time location and travel trajectory on a map.

5. Motion detection: Supports motion detection, automatically recording and saving videos when moving objects enter the monitoring area.
