Nextiva mDVR Mobile Digital Video Recorder Feature Set

mDVRVerint helps transit authorities protect passengers, assets, and staff with an array of intelligent DVRs designed specifically for bus and rail systems. Nextiva mDVR mobile digital video recorders capture full-motion video from up to 12 analog or digital cameras, with industry-leading system interoperability for outstanding business value.

Integration with on-board equipment, such as G-Force sensors, generates a more complete understanding of events and operations, and allows video to be captured, retained, and retrieved based on the information these systems provide.

Wireless and Wired Transmission

The mDVR leverages existing network resources, with encoding technology that allows video to be transmitted over on-board Ethernet backbones. When used with Nextiva Transit Fleet Manager (in EMEA) or Nextiva Transit Op-Center/Vid-Center (in the Americas), mDVR integration with industry-standard wireless solutions allows for live or scheduled offload of critical video data, while continuous on-board video storage helps ensure that critical images are available when needed.

Specifically Designed for the Mobile Environment

Built for dependability, long life, and low maintenance, the mDVR is designed to withstand the temperature fluctuations and heavy vibration of mobile operations, and features an innovative, spring-cushioned, mobile disk housing to absorb shock and prevent disk damage. Automatic system health monitoring, camera tampering detection, and problem notification streamline management and promote more reliable and effective on-board video surveillance.

Superior Performance and Low Cost of Ownership

Part of the Nextiva Transit solution suite, the mDVR is designed for dependability and low cost of ownership. Its embedded Linux operating platform is independent of third-party operating systems, for more secure and reliable operation. TCP/IP and other interfaces enable the mDVR to communicate easily with other on-board equipment without expensive customization. The mDVR also features an easy-to-use software application for configuration and integration. For enhanced manageability, Nextiva Transit Fleet Manager (in EMEA) or Nextiva Transit Op-Center/Vid-Center (in the Americas) can be used to centrally manage mDVR devices on fleets of buses or train cars. Nextiva Transit Op-Center/Vid-Center also features an easy-to-use software application for configuration and integration.

Feature Summary

Built on more than a decade of experience in thousands of transit deployments, only the Nextiva mDVR lineup offers all this:

A Complete, Contextual View of Events

  • Full-motion video from up to 6 (mDVR-6S) or 12 (mDVR-12 series) cameras per vehicle
  • 2 audio channels
  • Variable and event-dependent resolution (CIF, 2CIF, 4CIF) for each video input
  • Event Manager software for managing all on-board events
  • Collection of incident-related data: speed, location, turn signal, brake, etc.
  • Intelligent and intuitive logical event and alarm configurator software for initiating recording, changing recording frame rate and resolution, and viewing video by event, date/time, station, or other related on-board data
  • Easy-to-use, video review software with investigation management capabilities and event and alarm analysis using a timeline viewer

Optimal Use of Video and Network Resources

  • Dual streaming, so that video can be viewed at high resolution for optimal image clarity, but transmitted at lower resolution to preserve network bandwidth and storage
  • Central and/or local video storage and review
  • Internal storage up to 750GB removable
  • Convenient video offload via removable hard drive, direct Ethernet connection, or wireless connection using Nextiva Transit Fleet Manager (EMEA) or Nextiva Op-Center/Vid-Center (Americas)

Also available in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA):

  • Nextiva mDVE mobile Digital Video Encoder for transmitting encoded video over a train’s existing Ethernet backbone
  • Train Video Transmitter (TVT) that acts as a video matrix, sending analogue video via coaxial or twisted pair cable to an analogue monitor in the conductor’s cabin

Reliability, Long Life, and Low Maintenance

  • Automatic system health checking and problem notification
  • Fanless operation (mDVR-6S) for outstanding MTBF
  • Durable, spring-cushioned housing to extend disk life in high-vibration environments
  • Active cooling/heating to protect disk in extreme temperatures
  • Automatic camera tampering detection
  • 2 Ethernet interfaces (mDVR-12S series) for simultaneous wireless transmission and device maintenance

Nextiva Transit: Comprehensive Video Security for Transportation Authorities

Nextiva mDVR is part of Nextiva Transit, the industry’s most comprehensive video security portfolio for public transportation today. Built on Verint expertise from thousands of successful deployments, Nextiva Transit captures and analyzes video from virtually any fixed or mobile location — in bus and train yards, maintenance facilities, parking lots, platforms, and stations — on board moving buses and trains.

This integrated video portfolio features a wide array of wired and wireless edge devices, versatile video management applications, sophisticated video analytics, and rugged mobile cameras, video monitors, and DVRs. And Nextiva’s easy integration with CCTV, security, emergency response, and on-board information systems streamlines deployment and generates a more complete and actionable view of transit operations.
