Introduction

The Roadrunner is a Milspec-rated, trunk mounted Digital Video Recorder for mobile applications. It employs MPEG4
compression to record up to 4 cameras and 4 audio sources on a removable hard drive, and can be accessed directly
in the vehicle with a laptop computer, with the optional controller and monitor; or the removable hard drive can be read
directly on a desktop PC with the optional Hard Disk Player.

Note: be sure to pass the wiring through the cable guard if you wish to reinstall it when the wiring is complete.

base). In most cars it will be mounted in the trunk, either on the floor or under the shelf, though other vehicles
