19. What is the power consumption of our MDVR?
It has to be supplied with
12vDC; but when installed with the external DCDC power converter it will work
in a range of 7-28vDC
20. What is the minimum and maximum storage capability?
Using SATA we can go from 80Gb
to 500Gb
21. Can we synchronize time with other devices?
Yes; the MDVR can synchronize
it’s time ONCE A DAY with its GPS or some NTP server.
22. Does the MDVR automatically recycle the HDD?
Yes; by default it will
OVERWRITE the HDD once it has a minimum of 2Gb of empty space; but this
parameter is user changeable.
23. How does the MDVR protect the data from vibration?
The MDVR is designed with built
in shock absorbers in the HDD tray. SAY
Security installs high performance and reliable HDDs designed specifically for

29. How many amps can we get from the VDC output on the MDVR?
The MDVR can handle between 3~5 amps.
30. What kind of information can I find in an AVI file (extracted from a M65 original file)?
The resultant AVI file will have Video + Audio only.
One AVI file will result
