COQUITLAM, British Columbia — The Explorer DX12 is a new mobile digital video recorder (DVR) from Seon Design Inc.

The DX12 delivers outstanding image quality with advanced video storage technology (H.264). The system offers 12 channels with the ability to simultaneously record 30 frames per second at 720x480 resolution on all channels. Dual hard drives provide double the recording capacity of conventional DVRs, according to the company.

The DX12 also facilitates better incident management through dual streaming technology, which records two video streams — one lower resolution stream for viewing over a cell phone network and one high-resolution stream for playback on a PC. The DX12 includes an inertia sensor, which logs and displays G-Force data, allowing system administrators to monitor driver behavior, including speed, turning, signals, braking and idling. The system also provides incident alerts, giving transportation authorities the opportunity to respond to events instantly.

In combination with vMax Commander video management software, the company’s automated health check feature monitors DVR and hard drive status. The system will notify the administrator of any issues to ensure that all onboard events are captured. Supported features include geo-fencing, which allows the administrator to designate a geographic boundary and receive notification if a vehicle deviates.

The software allows transportation authorities to track vehicles and retrieve key details about an incident using video footage synchronized with mapping software. The DX12 DVR can be installed through a graphical configuration user interface.
