Best 8-Channel Vehicle DVR


The YUWEI 8-Channel Vehicle MDVR is the core equipment of modern fleet safety management. It provides eight channels of high-definition video surveillance, AI active safety warnings, and remote fleet management for commercial vehicles such as buses, school buses, trucks, and fire engines.

Best 8-Channel Vehicle DVR

8-Channel 1080P Full HD Video Recording

The YUWEI 8-channel MDVR supports the simultaneous input of eight channels of 1080P Full HD video. It provides a clear view of the inside and outside of the vehicle, the driver, and blind spots. Combined with a 360° Around View Monitor (AVM) algorithm, it completely eliminates visual blind spots. The device adopts H.264/H.265 video compression technology. Compared to H.264, H.265 improves compression efficiency by 20% to 50%. With the same storage space, it can save more video recordings. Even in low-bandwidth environments, video transmission remains smooth.


AI Active Safety: ADAS + DSM

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

ADAS monitors road conditions ahead in real-time, providing various early warning functions:

1.Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Issues an alarm 2.7 seconds before an estimated collision to prevent rear-end accidents.

2.Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Monitors lane lines when the vehicle speed is ≥55km/h to prevent unintentional departure.

3.Headway Monitoring Warning (HMW): Displays the distance (in seconds) to the vehicle ahead and alarms when approaching a dangerous distance.

4.Pedestrian Collision Warning (PCW): Identifies pedestrians ahead and provides advance warnings in dangerous situations.

5.Zebra Crossing Detection: Identifies zebra crossings ahead and reminds the driver in advance to yield to pedestrians.

Driver Status Monitoring (DSM)

DSM analyzes the driver's status in real-time via cameras:

1.Fatigue Driving Alarm: Identifies continuous eye closure and yawning, distinguishing between mild and severe fatigue.

2.Distracted Driving Alarm: Identifies when the driver is looking around, looking up, or looking down for an extended period.

3.Phone Calling Alarm: Identifies phone calling gestures.

4.Smoking Alarm: Identifies smoking postures.

5.Driver Absence & Replacement Alarm: Identifies if the driver leaves the seat or if the face changes.

6.Driver Identification: Performs facial recognition through a local face database.

Note: ADAS and DSM function normally during the day, at night, in tunnels, and on rainy days. When the camera is blocked, the system automatically triggers a fault alarm.


BSD Blind Spot Detection & APC Passenger Counting

The YUWEI 8-channel MDVR can also integrate BSD (Blind Spot Detection) algorithms. When the vehicle turns or changes lanes, BSD monitors pedestrians and vehicles in blind spots in real-time, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. The APC (Automatic Passenger Counting) algorithm automatically counts the number of boarding and alighting passengers, providing precise operational data for transit and passenger fleet operators.


Remote Fleet Management

The device supports 4G, Wi-Fi, and GPS connections. Administrators can achieve the following via PC or a mobile APP:

1.Real-time positioning and historical track playback

2.Online viewing and playback of video files

3.1Electronic fence (geofencing) setup and out-of-bounds alarms

4.GPS mileage statistics and blind spot data re-upload

5.Base station assisted positioning

The system is compatible with platforms such as CMSV6 and WIALON. It supports the JT808 protocol and API integration. Customers can directly use the provided client software or integrate it into their own fleet management systems to achieve data exchange and information sharing.


Comprehensive Alarm and Event Recording Mechanism

The YUWEI 8-channel MDVR features multiple built-in alarm triggers:

1.15-Second Pre-recording: Automatically saves 15 seconds of footage before an accident is triggered to restore the entire event.

2.Emergency Panic Button: Triggered by the driver with one click to upload on-site footage immediately.

3.Overspeed Alarm & Warning: Alarms immediately upon exceeding the speed limit.

4.G-Sensor Collision Detection: Automatically locks the video recording at the moment of collision to prevent it from being overwritten.

5.Other Alarms: Parking overtime alarm, route deviation alarm, power loss alarm, low voltage alarm, GPS fault alarm, GPS/4G antenna open/short circuit alarm.

6.ADAS+DMS+BSD Linkage: Active safety events automatically trigger video recording and uploading.


DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Report)

The device supports the DVIR function. Drivers complete a vehicle inspection before their daily departure, and the system automatically generates an inspection report. This standardizes the inspection process and helps fleets meet safety compliance requirements.


Large Capacity Storage

Video storage utilizes large-capacity SD cards, with sizes selectable according to your needs. The device uses a patented streaming file system. Even in the event of a sudden power loss while driving, the video files will not be corrupted. Combined with driving behavior analysis (rapid acceleration, harsh deceleration, idling, harsh braking, etc.), fleets can comprehensively evaluate driver performance.


Remote Cloud Management

YUWEI devices support remote fault diagnosis and debugging, remote automatic program maintenance, remote parameter configuration, and terminal operation statistics. Installation and maintenance efficiency is greatly improved, saving time and costs. Combined with remote audio monitoring, two-way voice intercom, and TTS text broadcasting, the dispatch center can communicate with drivers in real-time.


Applicable Commercial Vehicle Types

The YUWEI 8-channel MDVR is suitable for all types of commercial vehicles, including transit buses, coaches, tour buses, school buses, box trucks, fire engines, emergency vehicles, passenger cars, trucks, and other fleet vehicles.
