3.1.4 Ways of Time Synchronization ⚫ Ways of time synchronization include: satellite, central server and NTP sync. Single option or multiple choices are available. For multiple choices, the device follows the order of satellite, NTP sync and central server. When time synchronization by satellite fails, resort to NTP. If NTP also fails, turn to central server for time synchronization.
also set the start time and choose to delay the time in days or weeks. 3.1.5 Sleep Delay ⚫ Startup & shutdown ways: ignition, timing and ignition/timing. ⚫ Ignition delay: the function can only be enabled when the device is ignited. To be more specific, the ignition delay function is enabled and countdown pops up in the preview screen after the car key is off.
⚫ Sleep is designed to prevent the electrical level of battery from being drained when the voltage of external power supply is below a certain value. Low-voltage protection is added to keep the electrical level of battery from being drained after the car key is off. ⚫...

3.1.8 Application ⚫ FTP server configuration means connecting to the server designated by customers by setting the FTP server parameters. For example, photos captured by MDVR can be configured to upload to the FTP server. The user can upload photos to a corresponding server according to the parameter configuration.
manages the device download, like which vehicles to download, download via which kind of network (4G or WIFI). If the download is completed via WIFI network, the user needs to figure out via which WIFI-AP each vehicle is downloaded and how many vehicles can be connected and simultaneously downloaded for each AP.

and 9 screens as well as how many channels to display. For example, the device of customers has 4 analog cameras and 2 IP cameras. However, we only use 2 IP cameras to enable them to view 4 screens. ⚫ Automatically switch the channel of preview screen. For every switch, the user can set to display which channels and show them in which mode.
Page 18
3.2.2 Record ⚫ Dual-stream recording can choose the storage. However, currently, dual stream only has two storage options: built-in SD card and external SD card. ⚫ Recording mode: sub-stream recording, mirror recording, alarm recording backup and none. 1) Sub-stream recording: MVDR encodes two data streams, namely primary stream and sub-stream.
3.2.3 IPC Setup ⚫ Support auto IPC plug and play configuration, IPC quick settings and manual IPC channel configuration by IP search. ⚫ Support IPC quick settings. 1) MDVR with PON interface: do not support IPC quick settings (X1 and X3 have PON interface).
Page 20
⚫ Each channel supports the IPC search function and displays the searched IPC list information. For IPC settings, there are two situations: (1) the user can view IP address of cameras in Search using Streamax cameras, then he directly checks and views IP address; (2) the user adopts ONVIF protocol, then he clicks the IPC setup button and fills in information related to IP address.
Page 21
⚫ The user clicks “Edit” and the photo above appears. For cameras of ONVIF protocol, this channels binds the configuration channel awith IPC. Please note that modifying IP address here is not to modify IP address of IPC but rebind other IPC. For intelligent IPC channels, such as DSM, ADAS and BSD channels, calibration mode and normal recording mode are optional.
3.3 Data Collection 3.3.1 General ⚫ Device sensor connection cable: For IO cables, IO1~IO8 parameters can be set on this screen. Voltage and pulse are optional for the signal source. IO purpose can be chosen according...

to users’ requirements. ⚫ Serial port. Support two ways of serial port connection-RS485 and RS232. To configure 4 serial ports, 2 485 serial ports can choose 485 bus and 485 bus connects to standard 485 peripherals of Streamax. For each 485 bus, it can mount several 485 peripherals. Each standard peripheral of Streamax has a fixed code.

⚫ Four ways are available for the speed signal source: satellite, pulse, OBD and Atrack. Uinits of KM/H and MPH are optional. “Mileage basic value calibration” and “Auto calibration” are supported. ⚫ “Mileage basic value” calibration function.

3.4.1 Base ⚫ Panel alarm: the alarm will be taken as an actual alarm after the button has been pressed for a while. Effective alarm time means how long the alarm can last before being off; Alarm duration indicates the alarm is recorded as effective alarm only once after being repeatedly given in a certain period of time.
Page 30
3.4.2 Video ⚫ There are three types of video alarm: video loss, motion detection and covered video. They have one common trigger condition, namely “Effective alarm time”. Effective alarm time means that one alarm is regenerated in the set time after the previous alarm is off. These two alarms are regarded as the same alarm.
