How to select the perfect Mobile DVR for each vehicle?

There must be a different application or Mobile DVR installation for each car. Each vehicle has its own set of needs. Here, we will provide our suggestions for each vehicle application so that car owners will know what to buy and what not to buy.

Here are some examples for your reference:

1. Taxi and Personal Car:

Since taxi cabs and sedans (personal cars) are often small in size, a 2ch mobile DVR or 4ch Mobile DVR will do. For instance, if you only want to capture both the front and back of the car, a 2 Ch mobile DVR camera plus 1 rear camera would be good enough.

If somehow you want to cover the blind spots, a 4ch mobile DVR with 2 side cameras and 1 rear camera is perfect for you.

2. Buses and Public Transportation:

For a transport vehicle with more than 20 seats, you can get a 4 or 8 channel HDD mobile DVR. These vehicles can also use 4ch SSD Mobile DVR. If you like bigger storage, pick an HDD mobile DVR that has 2TB to 4TB (optional) storage. If the vehicle is only used once in a while, a 2ch or 4ch SD card Mobile DVR is enough.

After you've decided on the ideal Mobile DVR for you, you'll need to decide how many cameras you want to install. Interior cameras are essential for public transportation since they catch the activity inside the vehicle and provide evidence if there is an assault or misconduct inside the vehicle.

3. Oil tank and Cargo Trucks:

Because these trucks are so enormous, they have a lot of blind spots. To avoid mishaps, it is vital to catch as many sides as feasible. Putting a 4ch or 8ch HDD Mobile DVR is advised, as is installing 4 to 8 cameras for complete coverage surrounding the vehicle.

Consider placing an anti-explosive camera on the oil truck and other highly combustible vehicles. It will be an excellent investment because it is fire and explosion-resistant.

4. School Bus:

Assuming a school bus is big enough to carry 20 passengers and up, an 8ch HDD Mobile DVR system is advisable. The system can include an 8 Channel HDD Mobile DVR, a people counting sensor, an RFID machine, several Vehicle Cameras, an LCD monitor, etc. depending on the vehicle requirement.

Since this vehicle carries children, we must consider their safety by adding several cameras and security devices like a people counter camera and RFID which will notify the school or parents that their children arrived safely in school.
