NEWTON, Ala. — AngelTrax Bus Video has introduced a new mobile DVR, the HDX, which features built-in wireless capabilities, leverages a 500MHz LAN card and enables clients to receive system health notifications via text message or e-mail.

The compact surveillance device also features four audio-video channels, a 250GB SATA hard drive and H.264 video compression. Recorded data is watermarked and encrypted to ensure video captured is authentic and court admissible.

“We've paired our reliable audio-video technology with a more economical built-in LAN card,” said Richie Howard, AngelTrax's president. "Our customers can still benefit from wireless notification features without busting their budget."

The HDX assists fleet directors with incident management through hands-free wireless transfer of event notifications. Users can set up GSRP wireless notification for DVR such events as video status, over-speed, camera loss, over G-Force and panic events. The panic event feature notifies fleet directors of operator-induced panic events via text message or e-mail, and includes an MJPEG snapshot from one of the onboard cameras.

The HDX can also be fully integrated with MOTOTrax, AngelTrax’s online surveillance management solution, and it offers a delay function built into its firmware, which allows for continued recording up to 999 minutes after the vehicle has been shut down. This ensures operator performance of appropriate post-trip tasks. It can be set onsite or remotely through the MOTOTrax interface.

Moreover, users can customize the HDX to fit their specific needs. An optional VSM module featuring absolute GPS accuracy synchronized with recorded video footage can be added for maximum productivity. The optional G-Sensor feature offers a three-axis inertia sensor that absorbs large shocks and marks audio-video data with an event.

The rugged DVR features a vandal-proof, shock-resistant enclosure with a key-locking front door to ensure the unit’s protection under extreme mobile conditions. A three-year parts and labor warranty is also offered with the unit.
