i-PRO MR-4C-I3-1TB-V5 4-Channel Mobile NVR
The i-PRO MR-4C-I3-1TB-V5 is a ruggedized 4-channel mobile network video recorder engineered for demanding in-vehicle surveillance in law enforcement, transit, and fleet operations. Built with an Intel Core i3 processor and 1TB of shock-resistant storage, this purpose-built mobile NVR delivers reliable video recording under extreme vibration, temperature fluctuations, and variable power conditions inherent to mobile deployments.
Key Features
- 4-channel simultaneous video recording with independent stream configuration
- Intel Core i3 processor for efficient multi-stream processing
- 1TB ruggedized microSD storage with shock resistance
- Wide-voltage DC input (9–36V) compatible with standard vehicle electrical systems
- Extended operating temperature range for unheated/uncooled vehicle compartments
- Solid-state construction for continuous vibration resistance
- H.265 and H.264 compression support with configurable resolution and frame rate per channel
- Flexible evidence retrieval via network connection or removable storage media
Mobile-Optimized Architecture
The MR-4C-I3-1TB-V5 is purpose-built for vehicle environments with engineering focused on reliability under mobile conditions. The system accommodates simultaneous recording from forward-facing, rear-facing, interior, and side-view cameras in a single compact enclosure. Wide-voltage DC input (9–36V) ensures compatibility across fleet vehicle power systems without additional converters. Solid-state components eliminate mechanical vulnerabilities and provide consistent performance despite continuous vibration exposure.
Recording and Storage Management
The 1TB microSD storage capacity provides extended recording for multi-shift fleet operations. Configurable H.265 and H.264 compression with per-channel resolution and frame rate settings allows operators to optimize recording quality against storage retention based on operational priorities. Lower frame rates or resolution on secondary cameras preserve storage for high-priority channels. Video evidence retrieval supports both direct network access and removable storage media for field accessibility and chain-of-custody compliance.
Applications
- Law enforcement vehicle and dash-cam recording
- Public transit bus and vehicle surveillance
- Fleet management and driver monitoring
- Prison transport and specialized vehicle operations

The i3-generation processor paired with 4-channel simultaneous recording represents a practical performance tier for fleet operations where storage efficiency and reliability are prioritized over transcoding capabilities. The wide-voltage DC input (9–36V) is critical in fleet environments where vehicle power systems vary significantly; this eliminates compatibility issues and simplifies deployment across mixed vehicle fleets. The 1TB microSD configuration balances multi-shift recording capability against the physical constraints of mobile enclosures.
For operations requiring extended retention beyond multi-shift cycles, the removable storage design enables media rotation without system downtime. The per-channel frame rate and resolution configuration is essential in mobile settings where bandwidth and storage are finite resources—typically, forward-facing cameras record at higher frame rates while interior or secondary cameras operate at lower settings. Solid-state construction without spinning media is mandatory for vibration environments; this design choice directly supports uptime in fleet operations where downtime carries high operational cost.
