Frequently Asked Questions about
Mobile DVR Systems
Welcome to Eastyle FAQ page. Here you can find answers to the most common questions about our Mobile DVR (MDVR) products and services. As a professional MDVR manufacturer and factory with over 15 years of experience, we are committed to providing high-quality vehicle surveillance solutions for our customers worldwide.
Q1: What is a Mobile DVR (MDVR)?
A: A Mobile DVR (Mobile Digital Video Recorder), also known as MDVR, is a specialized video recording system designed for vehicles such as buses, trucks, school buses, taxis, and other fleet vehicles. Unlike regular DVRs used in homes or offices, mobile DVRs are built to withstand harsh conditions including vibration, extreme temperatures, and power fluctuations. Eastyle MDVR systems support GPS tracking, 4G/WiFi connectivity, and remote monitoring, making them ideal for fleet management and vehicle security.
Q2: How many channels does your MDVR support?
A: Eastyle offers Mobile DVR systems with different channel options to meet various customer needs. Our most popular models are 4-channel and 8-channel MDVRs. The 4CH MDVR is perfect for smaller vehicles like taxis and small trucks, while the 8CH MDVR is ideal for larger vehicles such as buses, coaches, and heavy trucks that require more
Camera coverage. All our MDVRs support 1080P high-definition video recording for clear and detailed footage.
Q3: Does your MDVR support GPS tracking?
A: Yes, all Eastyle Mobile DVR systems come with built-in GPS tracking functionality. The GPS feature allows you to track the real-time location of your vehicles, monitor driving routes, and record speed data. This is extremely useful for fleet management, logistics, and passenger safety. You can view the GPS location data through our CMSV6 or CMSV7 platform, as well as through our mobile app.
Q4: Can I monitor my vehicles remotely?
A: Absolutely! Remote monitoring is one of the key features of Eastyle MDVR systems. With 4G or WiFi connectivity, you can access live video feeds from your vehicles anytime, anywhere. This means you can keep an eye on your drivers, passengers, and cargo even when you are not in the vehicle. Remote monitoring helps improve fleet efficiency, enhance security, and ensure driver compliance with safety regulations.
Q5: What platforms are supported for remote monitoring?
A: Eastyle MDVR systems support multiple platforms for remote monitoring to ensure maximum convenience. We support CMSV6 and CMSV7 platforms, which are professional fleet management software that you can install on your computer. We also have a web-based platform that you can access through any browser. Additionally, we offer mobile apps for both iOS and Android devices, so you can monitor your vehicles on the go using your smartphone or tablet.
Q6: Does the MDVR support 4G/WiFi connectivity?
A: Yes, Eastyle Mobile DVR systems support both 4G and WiFi connectivity. The 4G feature allows your MDVR to connect to the internet using cellular networks, enabling real-time remote monitoring and data transmission from anywhere with 4G coverage. WiFi connectivity is useful when the vehicle is parked at your depot or office, allowing you to download recorded footage and update settings without using cellular data. You can choose the connectivity option that best suits your needs.
Q7: What is the video resolution of your MDVR?
A: Eastyle MDVR systems support 1080P Full HD video resolution, providing crystal-clear video footage. High-definition recording is crucial for identifying details such as license plates, faces, and incident specifics. All channels record simultaneously at 1080P resolution, ensuring comprehensive coverage without compromising on video quality. Our MDVRs use advanced H.264/H.265 video compression technology to save storage space while maintaining excellent video quality.
Q8: How long can the MDVR record video?
A: The recording duration of an MDVR depends on several factors including the number of channels, video resolution, and storage capacity. Eastyle MDVRs support large-capacity hard drives (HDD) and SD cards for storage. With a 1TB hard drive and 8 channels recording at 1080P, you can typically record 15-30 days of continuous footage. For longer recording times, you can use larger capacity hard drives or set the MDVR to overwrite old footage automatically when the storage is full.
Q9: Is the MDVR waterproof?
A: Eastyle MDVR main units are designed with a certain level of dust and water resistance suitable for vehicle installation. However, the MDVR main unit is typically installed inside the vehicle cabin where it is protected from direct exposure to rain and water. Our vehicle cameras, on the other hand, are designed to be waterproof and can be installed outside the vehicle. All our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand the harsh conditions of vehicle environments.
Q10: Does your MDVR support ADAS and DMS?
A: Yes, Eastyle offers advanced MDVR models with AI-powered driver assistance features including ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) and DMS (Driver Monitoring System). ADAS helps prevent accidents by providing warnings for lane departure, forward collision, and pedestrian detection. DMS monitors driver behavior and alerts for fatigue, distraction, smoking, and phone use. These AI features significantly improve driving safety and help reduce accidents. We also offer BSD (Blind Spot Detection) and APC (Automatic Passenger Counting) options.
Q11: What certifications do your products have?
A: Eastyle Mobile DVR products are certified with internationally recognized standards including CE, FCC, and RoHS. We also have SGS certification for our factory and quality management systems. These certifications ensure that our products meet strict quality and safety standards, and are compliant with regulations in major markets such as Europe, the United States, and other regions. As a professional MDVR manufacturer, we take quality very seriously and all our products undergo 24+ hours of testing before shipment.
Q12: What is the warranty period for your MDVR?
A: Eastyle offers a standard warranty period for all our Mobile DVR products. Our MDVR systems come with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects and quality issues. During the warranty period, we will repair or replace any defective products free of charge. We also offer extended warranty options for customers who require longer coverage.

Q14: What is your MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)?
A: Eastyle understands that different customers have different order size requirements. For standard products, our MOQ is relatively low to accommodate small businesses and first-time buyers.

Q17: How do I install the MDVR in my vehicle?
A: Installing an Eastyle Mobile DVR is straightforward but we recommend professional installation for optimal results. The MDVR main unit is typically mounted in a secure location inside the vehicle, such as under the dashboard or in a storage compartment. Cameras are installed at strategic positions around the vehicle (front, rear, sides, interior). Cables are run from the cameras to the MDVR unit, and the system is connected to the vehicle's power supply. We provide detailed installation manuals and our technical support team is available to guide you through the installation process.
Q18: Can the MDVR be used in different types of vehicles?
A: Yes, Eastyle Mobile DVR systems are versatile and can be used in various types of vehicles. Our MDVRs are commonly used in buses, trucks, school buses, taxis, delivery vans, ambulances, engineering vehicles, trailers, and many other types of vehicles. Whether you have a small fleet of taxis or a large fleet of heavy trucks, we have the right MDVR solution for you. Our systems are designed to work reliably in different vehicle environments and operating conditions.
Q19: What is the difference between 4CH and 8CH MDVR?
A: The main difference between 4-channel and 8-channel MDVR is the number of cameras they support. A 4CH MDVR can connect up to 4 cameras, which is suitable for smaller vehicles that need basic coverage (front, rear, and two side views). An 8CH MDVR can connect up to 8 cameras, providing more comprehensive coverage for larger vehicles like buses and coaches that need monitoring of multiple areas including front, rear, sides, interior passenger areas, and cargo areas. Both models support the same features including GPS, 4G/WiFi, and 1080P recording.
Q20: Do you have a mobile app for viewing live video?
A: Yes, Eastyle provides a mobile app for both iOS and Android devices that allows you to view live video from your MDVR systems on the go. With the mobile app, you can access real-time video feeds, check vehicle locations via GPS, review recorded footage, and receive alerts and notifications.
