i-PRO MR-BAT-8C Battery Back-up Unit for MR-8C

i-PRO MR-BAT-8C Battery Backup Unit Overview

The i-PRO MR-BAT-8C is a dedicated battery backup unit engineered specifically for i-PRO mobile network video recorder systems, providing uninterruptible power protection during vehicle power transitions, engine start/stop cycles, and unexpected power interruptions. This purpose-built UPS ensures continuous video recording and evidence capture in law enforcement, transit, and fleet surveillance applications where even momentary recording gaps can compromise critical evidence integrity.

Power Protection Architecture

The MR-BAT-8C monitors vehicle power continuously and seamlessly transitions to battery power when the vehicle's electrical system drops below operational thresholds — such as during engine cranking, accessory power cycling, or voltage sags from high-draw accessories. The transition occurs without interruption to the connected NVR, maintaining active recording sessions, preserving video buffer integrity, and preventing database corruption that can result from uncontrolled power loss.

Controlled Shutdown Management

When prolonged power loss is detected (such as vehicle shutdown at end of shift), the MR-BAT-8C provides sufficient runtime for the mobile NVR to complete an orderly shutdown sequence — flushing write caches, closing recording files, updating the database index, and parking drive heads. This controlled process prevents the data corruption and recovery delays common when mobile NVRs experience abrupt power cuts, ensuring recorded evidence is immediately accessible when the system restarts.

Environmental Durability

Designed for the demanding thermal and vibration environment inside service vehicles, the MR-BAT-8C operates reliably across extended temperature ranges and withstands the constant shock and vibration of daily vehicle operation. The sealed battery chemistry requires no maintenance and delivers consistent performance across hundreds of charge/discharge cycles typical of daily vehicle duty cycles.
