ON/OFF signal connects to the vehicle’s ignition signal. The mDVR303 uses this signal to trigger the power shut-off delay and the timing circuitry. The mDVR303 will remain ON until the shut-off delay time has been reached. The system will then go through its normal shutdown procedures before completely powering down. The GND (Common DC ground) signal should be connected to the vehicle common ground.
The mDVR303 supports a maximum of 3 cameras. These Micro-fit connectors are used to connect the camera inputs to the mDVR303 system (video and audio) using a gang plug adapter for the cameras.
