Brigade Electronics has launched a new and enhanced version of its digital video recorder for the UK market.
The MDR 644 offers the same high-quality recording functionality as its predecessors, although newly augmented with a range of additional features, including:
- 4 channel analogue AHD and 4 channel IP camera inputs
- AHD compatible with Brigade’s 360-degree camera system, the 'Backeye 360'
- 4G and WiFi options for remote connectivity while the vehicle is travelling or automatic downloading at the depot without having to go to the vehicle
- h.265 video compression, helping to reduce file sizes and create more than 30% additional storage space
- New and improved MDR dashboard and mobile app
- 0.5, 1 and 2TB models in SSD and hard disk drive formats
Stuart Davis, MDR expert at Brigade Electronics PLC explains the benefits: “Incidents involving vehicles are difficult for those involved and time-consuming to resolve. A lack of solid evidence can often mean companies automatically accept liability. However, these easy settlements have led to an increase in cases against operators who are considered a soft target.”
False insurance claims, such as 'crash-for-cash', cost businesses millions each year. By capturing footage from vehicle-mounted cameras, Brigade’s MDR system provides an accurate witness and irrefutable evidence in the event of an incident.
The MDR 644 can be combined with a range of other Brigade products to create a CCTV system for commercial vehicles, including 'BRIDGE' - a fully managed cloud service for 4G-enabled systems. This allows fleet managers to live track vehicles, view live-streamed and recorded video, set up geo-fencing capabilities, and receive instant trigger warnings in the event of an incident.
