Hardware Requirements
Recording data is one of the most important parts for video surveillance, and hard disk drives are one of the most important components to safely store the recording data.
It is always recommended that you use the hard disk drives certified by GVD. Find the list of the GVD-certified hard disk drives at the link below:
http://www.gvdigital.com/gvdweb/html/document/Support_Lists/Certified%20HDD%20List.pdf
NOTE:* GVD does not guarantee the system performance if a HDD model that is not certified by GVD is used.
* GVD recommends that you always use enterprise-level SATA hard drives for GVD enterprise NVR, Failover Server, Backup Server,
Extended Storage because it supports TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery), higher MTBF, higher Duty Cycles and typically include a
sensor for rotation and vibration.

Mobile NVR M1121 Quick Start Guide 1
Introduction
Thank you for choosing GVD products. The M1121 is the light-weight solution of GVD's brand new mobile NVR line, M1 Series. Powered by Intel® Atom™ Bay Trail E3845 Quad-core, M1121 is a fanless NVR to deliver appropriate CPU calculation with low power consumption. The integrated Intel® HD Graphics that brings DirectX11 also allows the NVRs to deliver superb video and audio.
The M1121 comes with rich data connection including 3G, 4G and WiFi to stay constantly connected with the control center. The intelligent power management prevents startup failure and allows the control center to watch over the car battery usage through 3G,
4G or WiFi. Isolated DIO on the other hand keeps the mobile NVR connected with other in-vehicle devices such as a car door sensor, and the change of DIO states can be sent to the control center.
If you opt for a GPS (plus 3G or 4G) module to go inside the mobile NVR, the control center can instantly locate the vehicle that carries the mobile NVR on the map. Also on option is a G-sensor to measure the vibration every couple of minutes and feed the data back to the control center. On the other hand the mobile NVR is verified to be anti-shock and anti-vibration to guarantee more protection to the hard disk drives onboard and ensures non-stop video recording.
Two PoE LAN ports are featured on the M1121. Each port delivers power up to 25.5W and simultaneously transfers data up to 1000 Mb/s over a single CAT-5e/CAT-6 cable. The highly integrated mechanical design on the other hand allows the M1121 to efficiently distribute the heat generated by the PoE circuit and therefore makes the M1121 a very stable fanless NVR with PoEs. The mechanical design is also modular to make the NVR easy-to-install and maintain.
The simple and sturdy design makes the M1121 ideal for all kinds of vehicles. It is your best choice for IP video surveillance on the go.

Note If the mobile NVR is used on a train, it is recommended that you use an additional EN50155-compliant single-output DC-to-DC converter or let the mobile NVR tap from UPS (uninterruptible power supply).
Note The mobile NVR accepts only 8~35 VDC for DC input. Make sure your power source is compliant with this voltage before you tap the power. Supplying power over 35V will damage the system.
Mobile NVR M1121 Quick Start Guide 27
Wire Ignition Signal
The mobile NVR is provided with MCU-based ignition power control. To control the ignition power, the mobile NVR needs IGN signal. The IGN input port is built at the front panel of the mobile NVR by a 3-pin pluggable terminal block (shared with DC-in power ). Follow the guide below to wire the ignition signal:
V+ GND IGN
1. Connect car battery + line (12V for sedan, 24V for bus/truck) to V+.
2. Connect car battery -/GND line to GND.
3. Connect ACC line to IGN.
Caution 1. Make sure your DC power source and IGN signal share the same ground2. The IGN input accepts max. 35VDC. Supplying power over 35VDC may damage
the system.

Mode 1 Power-on delay N/APower-off delay N/AHard-off timeout N/A
When enabled, the system auto turns on when DC power is applied. However the system will try to repeat the power-on cycle if the system failed to boot to OS.
Mode 2 Power-on delay 10 sec.Power-off delay 10 sec.Hard-off timeout 10 min.
Modes 2 to 5 feature a variety of power-on/off delays. And each supports a hard-off timeout of 10 minutes.
