Installation Guide
Overview
The Safety Vision RouteRecorder® 4C Mobile Digital Video
Recorder with Removable Hard Drive is designed for
mobile digital video recording in rugged automotive
conditions and can be used to upgrade obsolete analog
technology in existing mobile VCR observation systems.

standard PC file format that can be viewed and archived
via a PC connected to a hard drive reader. Programming
options and on-screen display settings can be defined by
the user to meet individual requirements.

(MDVR) records meta-data in addition to each individual
video frame. Meta-data includes system information
such as the date and time and the status of user-defined
input triggers.

monitors, and microphones are available separately.
