i-PRO MR-4C-I3-4TB-V5 Mobile NVR
The i-PRO MR-4C-I3-4TB-V5 is a ruggedized 4-channel mobile network video recorder engineered for law enforcement, transit, and fleet vehicle surveillance. Built to withstand extreme vibration, temperature fluctuations, and variable power conditions, this purpose-built mobile NVR delivers dependable in-vehicle video recording in the most demanding mobile deployment environments.
Key Features
- 4-channel simultaneous video recording with independent stream configuration
- Intel Core i3 processor for reliable real-time encoding and processing
- 4TB shock-resistant storage for extended multi-shift recording capacity
- Wide-voltage DC input (9–36V) compatible with standard vehicle electrical systems
- H.265 and H.264 codec support with per-channel resolution and frame rate control
- Solid-state design engineered for continuous vibration resistance
- Operating temperature range optimized for unheated or uncooled vehicle compartments
- Flexible video retrieval via direct network connection or removable storage media
Mobile-Optimized Architecture
The MR-4C-I3-4TB-V5 is purpose-built for vehicle environments from the ground up. Its wide-voltage DC input accommodates the electrical variability of fleet vehicles, while solid-state components eliminate mechanical vulnerabilities to constant vibration. The compact 4-channel design supports simultaneous recording from forward-facing, rear-facing, interior, and side-view cameras in a single enclosure, reducing installation complexity and vehicle integration footprint.
Recording and Storage
The 4TB ruggedized storage provides extended recording retention for multi-shift fleet operations without frequent offloading. Configurable H.265 and H.264 compression per channel allows operators to balance video quality against storage retention based on operational priorities. Video evidence retrieval supports both network-based access and removable storage options, ensuring operational flexibility and secure evidence handling.
Applications
- Law enforcement patrol and pursuit vehicle documentation
- Public transit bus and train surveillance
- Commercial fleet and armored vehicle security
- Border patrol and mobile perimeter monitoring
- Emergency response vehicle recording

The MR-4C-I3-4TB-V5 addresses a critical gap in mobile surveillance: reliable, compact, multi-channel recording in vehicles where traditional NVR infrastructure cannot operate. The Intel Core i3 processor provides sufficient encoding performance for 4-channel simultaneous recording without the thermal load of higher-tier processors, critical in vehicle compartments where cooling is limited. The 9–36V input range is particularly valuable in fleet operations where vehicle electrical specifications vary—this eliminates the need for external voltage regulators or model-specific configurations.
The 4TB storage capacity balances evidence retention with physical space constraints. For typical 24/7 fleet operations, this supports approximately 2–4 weeks of 4-channel recording depending on resolution and compression settings. The microSD expandability option provides cost-effective offline evidence archival and supports rapid deployment across vehicle fleets.
Operators should plan codec and resolution settings around actual network upload capabilities—vehicles may record at high quality but face bandwidth constraints during evidence transfer. The per-channel configuration flexibility mitigates this by allowing lower bitrate interior or side cameras while maintaining higher quality on primary forward and rear feeds.
