SolarCat 0 Posted April 17, 2008 I'm looking for a 4 channel mobile DVR that has rechargable batteries. Anyone know of one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
securitymonster 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Thats going to be a tough one. Most mobile devices that are battery operated are single channel recorders, and your lucky to get 8 hours of operation on a single charge of batteries. Whats your application? Maybe we can point you in the right direction if we can further understand your project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolarCat 0 Posted April 17, 2008 It's going to be used inside a commercial vehicle and it has to supply power to the cameras. I'm mistaken, it just has to have 12v in and no batteries. quote="securitymonster"]Thats going to be a tough one.

securitymonster 0 Posted April 18, 2008 I think power is an easy solution as they make good inverters that you can hardwire to a vehicle and achieve the power requirements for just about any DVR. Your biggest issue is going to be shock protection for the DVR if you end up using a standard type IDE or SATA hard drive. I don't have a mobile solution off the top of my head but I'll see what my guys can drum up. Some of the other guys will soon enough chime in with some options! I do however know that ARM electronics has a Mobile 12 volt 4 Channel DVR with audio and GPS that MSRP's at around $1,250.00. Part # MDVR4A80GPS, I would be a little hesitant as its ARM and they DVR's haven't been known as "reliable". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
