7. System diagram
This product is suitable for video monitoring or remote monitoring and applicable for general or special
vehicles. It mainly uses the special designed vehicle camera to acquire the front video signal, then
transmits the signal via a special video cable to the MDVR mainframe for video compression and image
processing and finally stored in the HDD.
It can also locate where the vehicle is in real time via GPS module, and then upload the location
information to the remote server via 3G/4G module. You can download video files from the remote client
to realize real-time remote monitoring of the vehicle. The following shows the actual application model
of this product that may be different depending on vehicle type and peripherals.
13
For Hero-ME40-04,the structure is simple .It is only for recording on the device ,without the network
(3G/4G, WIFI) , so it will not transmit the data to server .You can play on the device directly or by MDVR
player(get the map information and video) .

Now take the Main-stream(Sub-stream is used for uploading）table for example.
It is an approximate data for one camera in one hour, eg. 720P, if the Quality is 1 (best), from the table,
we know it will take up 1800MB /hour.
Take ME41-04 for example, suppose it has 4 cameras, and work 10 hours everyday in one month (30
days).
Total= 1800MB*4(cameras)*10(hours)* 30(days)=2160000MB ≈ 2109GB. And you need a 2TB HDD at
least.
9.2.3.3. Sub stream
27
The sub-stream is used for live streaming. The higher Resolution, bit rate and frame rate, video will be
more clearer, but need more 3G/4G data.
Notice:
1. Currently 3G networks only support CIF real-time network transmission, the default setting is CIF
and fixed.
2. QUA, 1 is best, for saving the 3G/4G data. Please choose 7 or 8.

address(include IP, Mask, Gate, DNS address. For MAC, just use our default setting address,don’t
change), otherwise, it can not be connected. The LAN indicator will be lit. If your don’t know this
information, ask for your ISP supplier or IT team for help.
When connect the IPC camera, make sure the IPC’s address in the same segment with LAN. For
example, if the LAN address 192.168.1.010, the IPC address could be 192.168.1.100, they are in the
same 192.168.1.xxx segment. Or else, it can not link the IPC.
