The system uses Analog High Definition (AHD), Phase Alternating Line (PAL) or National Television System Committee (NTSC) television systems. The resolution can be CIF, WCIF, HD1, WHD1, D1, WD1 or AHD. Information related to recording parameters, alarms and trigger status can be recorded along with speed, location and G-Force data. In addition, data related to the unit itself such as voltage and temperature are recorded and plotted graphically in MDR Software (MDR-Dashboard 5.0 and MDR-Player 5.0). This information is called metadata. Recordings can be searched, viewed and exported (clipped and saved locally) using MDR-Dashboard 5.0 software. This allows users to access all the vehicle’s travel information, including route tracking. Recordings can be easily exported in three different ways: as a simple audio/video AVI file playable by consumer media players; as native proprietary format clips or as a password protected .exe file with an embedded MDRPlayer 5.0. The main storage unit is a large capacity Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid-State Drive (SSD). The secondary storage is an internal SD (Secure Digital) card for sub-stream, HDD mirror (simultaneous) or alarm recording. The SD card stores video data and frame information only in chosen image resolution and frame rate. This is useful in extreme scenarios where the primary storage media reaches its limitations (e.g. an HDD/SSD write error during a collision). Mobile network and Wi-Fi settings found in this manual relate to wireless products as described below. These features can be attained by upgrading the MDR 500 Series units. 8 channel models allow users to modularly upgrade. These units can be upgraded by various expansion modules. 4 channel units do not have a modular design to allow for mobile network/Wi-Fi upgrades. To complete firmware upgrades, configuration imports/exports and video exports a bus-powered hub (minimum 2 ports) is required. It is imperative that Brigade MDRs are fitted and commissioned by competent and trained technicians. The installers are responsible for the correct setup of the overall system and must adhere to relevant regulations and legislation.

MDR-508XX-X-XX-XXX(XX) SIM card Installation Figure 14 3.10 Antennae Installation The information found in this sub-chapter may be found in the FCS1362:2016 UK CODE OF PRACTICE for the installation of mobile radio and related ancillary equipment in land-based vehicles. Please use this document for further details. Please see Appendix Chapter 17 General Antennae Guidelines for more information. GPS antenna Installation (Included) The GPS antenna needs to have an unimpeded view to the sky. The antenna positioning and orientation is critical to ensure effective operation. Horizontally mounted on a metal plate is optimum. Wi-Fi antenna (Depending on Model) Before a magnetic mount antenna is fitted both the underside of the base and the selected body panel surface should always be cleaned to avoid damage to the paint work. ➢ They must be directly placed on a flat area of steel ➢ They should not have any other material inserted between the magnetic base and vehicle body other than a protective pad or boot supplied by the antenna base manufacturer. This is to avoid reduction in the magnetic retention strength and any effect on the coupling to the ground plane. Mobile Network antenna (Depending on Model) On-glass antennas must be: ➢ securely fitted and fixed away from any metal which could deflect the signal ➢ located such that driver visibility is not impaired ➢ avoid heated screen elements ➢ mounted outside of the swept area of the windscreen 14 4 MDR On-Screen Display (OSD) This chapter describes the configuration of the MDR. Brigade’s 500 Series MDR displays a start-up screen. See MDR Initialisation Screen Figure 15. During this period, the MDR completes a disk check which helps in identifying any file errors or bad sectors. In doing so, the MDR will avoid writing to these sectors to maintain data integrity. If required, the MDR will attempt to repair any bad sectors prior to entering its recording state. The MDR 500 Series takes approximately 50 seconds to enter a recording state once ignition has been applied. Warning: The start-up time to recording for the MDR 500 series is approximately 50 seconds. Please wait at least 3 minutes after ignition is applied. Brigade will not be responsible for any events not recorded during this start-up period. There are three ways in which a user can tell if the MDR is recording: a visible blue HDD and a green SD card on each channel; MDR REC LED will be on; Remote Panel REC LED will be on (optional accessory). 4.1 MDR Initialisation Screen Figure 15 Quick Menu After initial ignition on the MDR, there will be a window pop up to notify user changing their MDR default password. User can choose “Yes” to proceed customize the Admin and User account password, or simply press “No” to keep current default password. See Start-up Screen Figure 16. To access the quick menu, use the right button on the mouse .Right click the mouse to show the Quick Menu. Clicking this button again will make any currently displayed OSD disappear. The right button can also be used as a quick exit button. By default, the quick menu appears on the bottom of the display area. Although, if this is blocking any key information, you may click, hold and drag the quick menu up or down to change its position. See Quick Menu Position Changed Figure 17. Start-up Screen Figure 16 Three different view options are available in the quick menu: Single, Quad and 9-Split. See Start-up Screen Figure 16, Single View Figure 18 and 9-Split View Figure 19. Playback requires login details to access; this will be covered in Chapter 5 Record Search. Sys Info will be covered in Chapter 8 System Information. Quick Menu Position Changed Figure 17 Single View Figure 18 9-Split View Figure 19 15 4.2 Login By default, there are two user accounts: admin and user. The password for the admin account is admin. The password for the user account is user. We recommend changing the password after first login which must be documented and controlled by the company. Monitors should scale the MDR video output automatically, but some monitors do not do this. If your screen is being partially cutoff, the MDR output margins can be manually adjusted by navigating to Setup -> Surveillance -> Live View -> Preview -> Margins Setup. Ensure all white borders are visible. See 7.2.1.1 Preview for further details. Note: When accessing the menu, recording continues without any interruptions. MDR Login Screen Figure 20 Once the login is successful, the OSD menu is displayed. See Menu Structure Figure 23. The menu is navigated using mouse movement and the left button. See MDR-MOUSE-01 Figure 6 for further information. Prior to using the MDR please set the MDR to default settings and clear all history information. Default settings are achieved by: Setup → Maintenance→ Reset → Factory Settings → Restore. Clear history information by: System Info → History→ Clean. MDR Default Users Figure 21 A complete OSD map is found in Chapter 12 On-screen Display Map. Language is supported in current MDR firmware versions. 9 language options in total, which are English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Polish, Dutch, Russian. MDR Language Options Figure 22 Once you have logged in, the menu structure will be displayed as shown in Menu Structure Figure 23. This menu consists of: Recordings Search, System Information, Log Search, Setup and Logout. There are help buttons found throughout the MDR OSD menu. These buttons contain additional information to help explain features, settings and functions. Menu Structure Figure 23 4.3 Logout Logout is used to log off a user account that is used to access the MDR menu. Ensure that you log off once you have finished your configurations.

Log Search Figure 34 Log Details Figure 35 Operation Log Figure 36 18 7 Setup This chapter describes the setup of the MDR. Settings related to basic setup, surveillance, events, alarms and maintenance. All settings are contained in the MDR Docking Station (DS). This means that Mobile Caddy Unit (MCU) swapping is easily supported if vehicle registrations are completed. 7.1 Basic Setup Use SAVE which is located at the bottom of each page after making any changes. Warning: Leaving a page prior to saving will cause changes to settings to be lost. Register Information 7.1.1.1 Vehicle Information Vehicle Registration is an important field which should always be populated. The vehicle registration is stored on the docking station and is then copied onto the current MCU recordings. This helps in identifying which vehicle the MCU was in at the time of recording. This is vital information if a fleet of vehicles swap MCUs. Vehicle Number is typically used in fleet/bus applications where a vehicle has an associated fleet number. This can be captured in this field to assist in identifying the vehicle. Vehicle Info Figure 37 7.1.1.2 Driver Information Driver Number is typically used in fleet/bus applications where a driver has an associated number. This can be captured in this field to assist in identifying the driver in the event of an incident. Driver Name may be populated which would make it easier in linking a driver’s name with their number. Driver Info Figure 38 7.1.1.3 Company Information Company Name can be used in various type of fleets. The name filled in this blank will be synchronized to display on MDR-Dashboard 5.0 vehicle information section, which is under the vehicle fleet window. Company Branch will make the vehicle information more detailed. Also, this will be displayed in the MDRDashboard 5.0 as well. Company Info Figure 39 19 Time Setup 7.1.2.1 General Date Format can be set to either DAY/MONTH/YEAR, YEAR-MONTH-DAY or MONTH/DAY/YEAR. By default, it is set to DAY/MONTH/YEAR. Time Format can be either 24 Hours or 12 Hours. By default, it is set to 24 Hours. Time Zone includes worldwide time zone options. By default, this is set to (GMT) DUBLIN, EDINBURGH, LONDON. Default is found on most settings pages. This allows you to easily restore the factory settings for those settings Time Setup Figure 40 7.1.2.2 Time Sync Date/Time can be entered manually here. GPS should be ticked and the GPS antenna should be mounted in a vehicle location where signal can be achieved easily. This is the simplest and more reliable option. NTP sync refers to network time protocol that is used to synchronize time with NTP Server PC time. This should only be used for mobile network or Wi-Fi MDR units. Note: When GPS and NTP sync are enabled simultaneously, GPS takes highest priority. Only if GPS fails, NTP sync will be used by the MDR. Time Sync Figure 41 7.1.2.3 Daylight Saving Time (DST) Allows users to enter the date and time in which the DaylightSaving Time will be activated. In the U.K, it starts on the last Sunday of March at 1:00 AM and ends on the last Sunday of October at 2:00 AM. Enter the correct time and date of the country in which the vehicle will be utilised. Whenever DST is not in use, turn this option to off. DST Enable is enabled by default. This setting determines whether daylight savings time is active. Start represents the month, date, day and time at which DST begins. By default, this is set to UK DST. If the time zone has been changed to another country, other than the UK, then the DST settings will need to be amended to reflect the selected country. End represents the month, date, day and time at which DST finishes. Daylight Saving Time Figure 42 Power 7.1.3.1 On/Off On/Off Mode has three different modes: IGNITION, TIMER and IGNITION OR TIMER. This option determines the conditions for which the MDR will power up. By default, it is set to IGNITION, which means that the MDR only turns on when an ignition signal is applied (yellow wire). Note: Timer mode must not be used for extended periods of time – this will damage your vehicle’s battery. Non-stop allows the MDR to record infinitely. Enabling this will disable Shutdown Delay. Warning: Using the MDR for prolonged periods of time without ignition (vehicle running) can drain the vehicle’s battery. Recommend that the Low Voltage Protection feature is enabled. See 7.1.3.2 Voltage for details. On/Off Figure 43 Shutdown Delay refers to the period the MDR will remain on and recording once the ignition has been turned off. The range is 0 to 86399 seconds (24 hours). By default, this is 600 seconds (5 minutes). The shutdown delay period may show up on the OSD for a period longer than your setting, please see the note below for an explanation. Note: MDRs are required to be continuously on for approximately 6 minutes. If an MDR has not been continuously on for 6 minutes, MDR shutdown delay will be equal to 6 minutes minus MDR on time plus your current shutdown delay period. 20 10:00 MDR on for 2 mins 10:03 Ignition removed MDR Shutdown delay = 4 mins + 5 mins 10:00 10:06 Ignition removed MDR on for 6 mins MDR Shutdown delay = 0 min + 5 mins 10:12 MDR Shuts down 10:11 MDR Shutdown Delay set to 5 mins MDR Shuts down Timer From becomes active once an On/Off Mode that includes timer is chosen. 7.1.3.2 Voltage Low Voltage Protection Enable is off by default. This feature is important to use to protect your vehicle’s battery from damage. Ensure this feature is activated when using the non-stop shutdown delay feature. Low Voltage is the voltage level which is a dangerously low value. For a 24V vehicle, the limits are from 21V to 23.5V. For a 12V vehicle, the limits are from 8V to11.5V. Start-up Voltage refers to the minimum voltage the MDR must receive before powering on. For a 24V vehicle, the limits are 24V to 26V. For a 12V vehicle, the limits are 12V to 14V. Observe Time is the amount of time the low voltage value must be observed for. This is to ignore any sudden dips in voltage that recover. Shutdown Delay is a countdown which begins once the observe time has been completed. This countdown is displayed on the MDR OSD. LV represents low voltage. See Low Voltage Shutdown Delay Figure 45. Voltage Figure 44 Low Volt Upload (scroll down on OSD using ) can only be used if a wireless or mobile network MDR is used. MDR Server software is a requirement for this feature. Once the MDR detects a low voltage level, it will send this data back to the MDR Server where it gets stored. This can then be reviewed later. Depending on MDR model. Proposed Low Voltage Protection Settings for lead-acid batteries (Note: Please check if these are suitable for your vehicle): 12V Vehicles Low Voltage:11.7V Voltage of Start:12.5V Observe Time:15 minutes Shut Down Delay:5 minutes 24V Vehicles Low Voltage:23.7V Voltage of Start:24.5V Observe Time: 15 minutes Shut Down Delay:5 minutes Low Voltage Shutdown Delay Figure 45 User Setup Menu Idle Time refers to the period for which the menu will remain active and logged in. Once this period finishes, the MDR will automatically log off the user. Username is the name you use to log onto the MDR. By default, there are two usernames: admin and user. User Group represents the level of access to the MDR OSD. There are only two types: Admin and Normal User. Admin has access to all settings and features. Normal User has restricted access: sys info, playback and export logs and videos. Add is used to create additional user accounts. A maximum of three user accounts can exist. Edit is used to change existing user account details. To remove any password requirements, save the user account with a blank password. User Setup Figure 46 Check Password is used to allow MDR check the login password. If the password is default or vacant, a notification window will pop up every time after MDR boot up to notify driver to change the password to a more complex combination. By default, it is on. Note: if click “No” on the start up screen notification window, it will automatically disable the Check Password and prevent the notification to show up again. 21 Network 7.1.5.1 Ethernet There are two modes available for Ethernet adaptor addressing, DHCP and Static. DHCP Mode refers to the Ethernet adaptor of the MDR obtaining an IP address automatically from the network. Static IP is used to specify the exact network details you would like the MDR Ethernet adaptor to use. IP Address refers to the internet protocol address of the Ethernet adaptor. This address is used to access the MDR Ethernet menu via LAN cable. Recommended to ask your internal IT for information and assistance. Subnet Mask is used to identify network address of an IP address. By default, this is 255.255.255.000. Ethernet 1 Figure 47 Gateway helps route the network traffic. By default, this is 192.168.001.254. Obtain DNS Automatically refers to the domain name system. A DNS server takes the website addresses that you type in and resolves them into the actual IP address of the site. While MDR attempts to get an IP address for itself from the DHCP server, it will simultaneously attempt to resolve address. Use Following DNS the MDR will use these DNS addresses regardless of what the DHCP server is using. Preferred DNS Server by default, this is 008.008.008.008. Alternate DNS Server by default, this is 008.008.004.004. 7.1.5.2 Ethernet 2 Figure 48 Ports Web Port is used for when a PC is connecting to the MDR Ethernet page. If this is incorrect, the web page will not open. By default, this is 80. Ports Figure 49 7.1.5.3 Wi-Fi These settings are dependent on your MDR model. This requires a wireless MDR model. Enable is used to turn the Wi-Fi module off or on. Once enabled, the settings found below will become active. SSID is the service set identifier. It is used to identify a wireless LAN and is usually unique to an area. This is where you will enter the name of the wireless network that the MDR will connect to. Encryption refers to protocols used to protect your network. MDR supports WEP and WPA/WPA2. We suggest using WPA2, as it is the newest encryption form and thus the most secure. This is case-sensitive. Password is the wireless network password, this should be entered carefully as it is case-sensitive. Wi-Fi 1 Figure 50 22 Static IP is used to turn the Wi-Fi module off or on. Once enabled, the settings found below will become active. IP Address refers to the internet protocol address of the Wireless module. This address is used to join the wireless network. Subnet Mask is used to identify network address of an IP address. By default, this is 255.255.255.000. Gateway helps route the network traffic. Wi-Fi 2 Figure 51 7.1.5.4 Mobile Network These settings are dependent on your MDR model. This requires a mobile network MDR model. Enable is used to turn the mobile network module off or on. Once enabled, the settings found below will become active. Server Type is an auto-populated field, indicates the mobile network connection type. Network Type refers to the type of mobile network connection that is used by the MDR to connect to the internet. Currently 4G is the fastest connection speed. APN refers to Access Point Name. This information is dependent on your mobile carrier network. Username obtain from your SIM card provider. Mobile Network 1 Figure 52 Password obtain from your SIM card provider. Access Number refers to the dial up phone number needed to connect to the network. By default, this is set to *99# Certification refers to the authentication mode, can be set to either CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). CHAP should be chosen as this is a more secure authentication protocol. This is chosen by the network operator. SIM Phone Number is not a required field. You may enter the phone number of the SIM card found inside the MDR for future reference. Mobile Network 2 Figure 53 7.1.5.5 Server Centre Server refers to the MDR Server PC. A maximum of 6 centre servers can be saved. Add adds another centre server, a new blank page is displayed with a new number. Delete removes the currently displayed centre server. ON enables the current centre server. Protocol Type refers to the protocol used by the MDR unit to send its data (video and metadata) to the MDR Server. By default, this is set to MDR5. Maintenance is not currently used. Network Mode refers to the network communication module used for to communicate with the MDR Server. The options are Ethernet, Mobile Network and Wi-Fi. This is discussed in further detail in MDR 500 Series Network Connectivity SW&Infrastructure Manual. This can be found on the Brigade website. MDR Server IP Public IP address of the firewall which forwards any traffic to the server PC or IP address of the server PC hosting the MDR WiFi Server. Server 1 Figure 54 MDR Server Port is used for device access to server. By default, is 5556. Media Server IP should be the same as MDR Server IP. Media Server Port should be the same as MDR Server Port. By default, is 5556. Server 2 Figure 55 23 Application 7.1.6.1 FTP Server FTP Enable is for set up an FTP server for storing snapshots. The FTP is used for building up a channel between software and MDR hardware, which allows users to download footage or snapshot through MDRDashboard 5.0. Recommend enabling it all the time. Server is filled in by default, recommend not to change. Port is set by default, recommend not to change. User name is for the FTP server login. Password is for the FTP server login, void by default. FTP Server Figure 56 7.2 Surveillance Live View 7.2.1.1 Preview Note: The MIRROR and FLIP VERTICAL feature affects both the live and recorded views. Live Audio is used to send real-time audio from a microphone enabled camera to a speaker enabled monitor. By default, this is disabled. Image Setup is used to control BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, COLOUR and SATURATION. By default, this is set to mid-point (31). Each channel can be setup individually. All Settings (except mirror and flip vertical) can easily be duplicated across all channels by using the COPY TO button. A MIRROR and Preview Figure 57 Image Setup Figure 58 FLIP VERTICAL button may also be configured per channel. Margins is used to adjust the MDR displayed output, this is a key feature to adjust. By default, MARGIN-TOP is 20, MARGIN-BOTTOM is 20, MARGIN-LEFT is 45 and MARGINRIGHT is 45. Start-up Screen refers to the configuration the MDR will display once it has fully booted up. The options are SINGLE, QUAD and 9-SPLIT. By default, a 4 channel MDR will have quad and an 8 channel will have 9-split. Channel controls which cameras that you want to show on Start-up Screen. If IP cameras are connected but 5 and 6 are not ticked, then the IP camera will not show. Margins Figure 59 7.2.1.2 Autoscan Autoscan Enable must be ticked to enable all the options. Screen is used to identify the different autoscan views. Delete removes autoscan views. Edit Screen is where autoscan views are setup. Mode refers to layout options, such as single, quad, 9-split (8CH only). Autoscan Figure 60 Edit Screen Figure 61 Layout is where you choose your channel arrangement. Duration refers to time displaying the autoscan. 1-300 seconds. 24 7.2.1.3 Live OSD This refers to information that is displayed on the live monitor view at all times. The options are: Date/Time, Vehicle Reg, Alarm, Vehicle Num, Recording State, Speed, GPS, Channel name and G-Force. You can change the position of each live OSD by using the Setup button. Recording states’ position is fixed and cannot be changed. This will be displayed in the setup screen. Live OSD Figure 62 Live OSD Position Figure 63 Record 7.2.2.1 General Video Format is used to choose the output video format. The options are PAL - AHD or NTSC - AHD. By default, PAL is chosen. This will be the same for all camera inputs. Note: Brigade’s monitors have automatic detection of these standards. HDD/SD Overwrite refers to when an HDD and SD cards will overwrite its stored data. The options are BY CAPACITY, BY DAYS and NEVER. By default, BY CAPACITY has been selected which means that when retention expires, locked files will automatically be unlocked and overwritten. Once the HDD has 4GB of space remaining (1GB for SD card), older recordings are erased and replaced by newer recordings except locked files. The NEVER option is when overwrite is deactivated. The MDR will stop recording when the HDD reaches 2GB of free space. The user must either replace the storage or manually delete recordings. Note: If records time conflicts, for example, crossing time-zone which cause time change 1 hour ahead. Records during the overlapping timeline won’t be covered or erased, still saved in the storage medium, but can’t be playback by MDR. Recommend exporting the conflicting video out through USB port on front panel then use MDR-Player 5.0 to playback the certain footage as needed. Refer to Conflict Footages Show in Computer Figure 65 Record Figure 64 Conflict Footages Show in Computer Figure 65 Locked File Retention This represents the length of time (in days) for which alarms cannot be overwritten by the MDR. When the retention expires, the locked files will automatically be unlocked and deleted. Alarm Pre-recording This value specifies the length of time prior to an alarm recording. This will be added before the actual alarm. For example, if ALARM PRE-REC is set to 10 minutes and an alarm of 5 minutes is triggered at 4:00pm and ALARM POST REC is 180 seconds, the alarm recording will begin at 3:50pm and will end after 4:08pm. See Chapter 7.4 Alarms for more information. 7.2.2.2 ALARM PRE-REC TIME 3:50 pm ALARM 4:00 pm ALARM POST REC 4:05 pm 4:08 pm HDD These settings are used to set the resolution, frame rate and quality per channel independently. Channel is used to identify the channel. 1 to 6 for 4 channel models and 1 to 16 for 8 channel models. Channel Name is used for an 8-character name which each camera channel can be associated with. These can include lower/upper alphanumeric characters. This is displayed on the live OSD. Enable Recording allows the activation/deactivation of the camera channel. This should be used if not all camera channels are utilized to avoid video loss errors. When using a 4 camera MDR, channels 5 and 6 are not accessible because they are IP camera dedicated channels. Users need to enable them firstly in IPC Setup page. When using an 8 camera MDR, channels 9-16 are not accessible, the same reason as above. HDD 1 Figure 66 Resolution allows users to choose the resolution for each channel. The options auto adjust based on camera inputs. The options are: CIF (lowest), WCIF, HD1, WHD1, D1, WD1 and AHD (720p and 1080p) (highest). For 4 channel models, you can set FULL HD 1920x1080 @25fps (PAL) / @30fps (NTSC). For 8 channel models, you can set FULL HD 1920x1080 @12fps (PAL) / @15fps (NTSC). By default, it is D1. AHD will only show when 25 an AHD camera is connected to the MDR. Refer to 19 Specifications for further information on each resolution. Frame Rate allows users to choose different frame rates for different channels depending on resolution settings. Options are 1 to 25 for PAL and 1 to 30 for NTSC. By default, it is 20. Quality has 8 levels. Level 1 is the best quality whereas level 8 is the lowest quality. Record Mode has three modes available – all modes require the IGNITION signal to be applied, or timer auto-boot to be set up: • NORMAL - allows continuous recording after powering up until the device shuts down. Alarm recording is included in this mode. • ALARM - allows users to record only when an alarm has been triggered. Alarms can be configured to be activated by triggers or other alarms (such as under/over speed, GForce, Panic Button, etc.) • TIMER - allows users to specify timeframes in which the recording will be activated. Refer to the OSD map to program these timeframes. HDD 2 Figure 67 Record Mode – Timer - Schedule allows users to choose schedules based on different days. Click on the day and choose the desired day of the week. Then setup the Start Time, End Time and Video Type. Video Type can be Normal or Alarm. Note: This record mode timer prevents an MDR from turning off, but this timer is unable to control when an MDR turns on. This has a higher priority than the ON/OFF TIMER. Record Mode – Timer Figure 68 Audio activation allows users to enable/disable the audio recording from the camera channels individually. This setting depends on the utilised cameras having microphones. Record Rate Users may choose either Normal or I-Frame. IFrame allows the recording of 1 frame per second for all channels to save recording space although there is a loss of smoothness during playback. Alarm Quality has 8 levels. Level 1 is the best quality whereas level 8 is the lowest quality. Brigade recommends using a higher quality for Alarms for a higher level of image detail. Encode Mode refers allows users to choose between Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR). The difference is minimal as the Variable Bit Rate is not efficient as it involves more processing power and may introduce some visible artefacts due to higher compression rates. 7.2.2.3 HDD 3 Figure 69 SD Record Storage options are Internal SD or fireproof box. A fireproof box (optional accessory) is connected to the MDR via its USB-B port on the rear. By default, internal SD is chosen. Record Mode options are Sub-stream, HDD (Main Stream), Alarms (HDD) and None. By default, sub-stream is chosen. Turn this option to NONE when an SD card is not present in the unit. SD card data includes frame information only. Once you have chosen the record mode, tick which channel you would like to record to the SD card. The sub-stream option enables you to customise audio function, set resolution, frame rate and quality. Easily copy to all channels with the Copy To button. HDD (Main Stream) mode will mirror record HDD settings onto SD card. SD Figure 70 Alarms (HDD) only the alarms will be recorded onto the SD card. Note: When SD cards/HDDs are replaced, it must be formatted using an MDR prior to use. Sub-Stream CH by default enables all available channels. If the IP camera dedicated channels have not been enabled in IPC Setup (explained in chapter 7.2.3 IP Camera Setup), the channel box is grey-out and unable to operate. 26 Setup allows you to configure the functions below for each SD card channel. See SD Setup Figure 71. All the functions below are related to the Sub-stream option. These do not apply to HDD (Main Stream) or Alarms (HDD). Enable this controls which channels you would like to sub-stream video and save to the SD card. When using a MDR 504, channel 5 and 6 is not accessible and grey-out (channel 9 – 16 for MDR 508) until they been enabled in IP Setup. See IPC Setup Figure 73. Audio activation allows users to enable/disable the audio recording from the camera channels individually. This setting depends on the utilised cameras having microphones. Resolution can be setup per channel. Options are: QCIF, CIF, HD1, D1, AHD (720p and 1080p). These options are dependent on input to MDR. SD Setup Figure 71 Frame Rate allows users to choose different frame rates for different channels depending on resolution settings. Options are 1 to 25 for PAL and 1 to 30 for NTSC. Quality has 8 levels. Level 1 is the best quality whereas level 8 is the lowest quality. Brigade recommends using a higher quality for Alarms for a higher level of image detail. Copy to function is available to copy settings to all or individual channels. 7.2.2.4 Record OSD Record OSD refers to information that will be “burned” onto the video image directly. This means that if AVI is used for the export option, then the enabled information will be shown on the image. The options are: Date/Time, Vehicle Reg, Channel Name, G-Force, Speed, GPS, Vehicle Num and Alarms. You can change the position of each live OSD by using the Setup button. By default, DATE/TIME, VEHICLE REG, CHANNEL NAME, SPEED and ALARMS are enabled. Record OSD Figure 72 IP Camera Setup To connect Internet Protocol Cameras (IPCs) to this MDR, a Power Over Ethernet (PON) switch or Brigade IP-1XXXC cable is required. This allows 2 IP cameras to be connected to a 4channel MDR and 16 IP cameras to an 8 channel MDR. To enable a channel or use FAST SETUP, an IPC must already be connected. By default, the LOCAL ADDRESS for MDR itself is 10.100.100.1. For more IP camera setup and operation, please refer to IP Camera Operational Guide. IPC Setup Figure 73 27 7.3 Events General 7.3.1.1 IO IO Number refers to the input sensor number. There are 8 input triggers. This will correlate to a physical wire on the MDR-IO-01 cable. IO Description is filled in for additional information. This is usually completed by the installer to aid in identifying an input trigger in the future. Up to 8 alphanumeric characters can be used. This is an important field to be filled in, it is displayed under alarm description in the event log within MDR-Dashboard 5.0 software. IO Figure 74 IO ID is a 2-alphanumeric character identifier. This is an important field to be filled in as this information is then carried over to the MDR-Dashboard 5.0 software. This is shown in frame information. It is also shown on the LIVE OSD and the RECORD OSD. By default, Brigade uses IO1 for left indicator (Li), IO2 for right indicator (Ri), IO3 for reverse (Rv) and IO4 for brake (Br). The IO wires have a priority with OI1 being the highest and IO8 the lowest. It is possible to duplicate the field information to all 8 input triggers, but this is not advised as each trigger will be connected to varied sources. 7.3.1.2 Peripherals Please see 2.2 Optional Accessories for part numbers Remote Panel is an accessory that consists of 4 diagnostic LEDs and a panic button. In a scenario where the MDR is installed in a box away from the driver or the MDR output is not being viewed, the remote panel LEDs will alert the driver to any hardware or software faults. By default, this is off. The panic button can be used for varied scenarios. For example, when using a mobile network/Wi-Fi MDR, this button can be used to trigger real-time emails to the fleet manager. G-Sensor is enabled if there is an external G-sensor being used. This is optional. By default, this is off. Peripherals Figure 75 Peripherals Figure 72a Remote Panel and G-Sensor 7.3.1.3 Speed Unit refers to the speed setting. This can either be in miles per hour (MPH) or kilometres per hour (KM/H). By default, this is set to MPH. Source has two options. GPS or Speed Pulse. In majority of applications GPS signal is the simplest to use. Brigade’s MDR comes as standard equipped with a GPS antenna. Speed source from the vehicle is recommended when the GPS signal is absent or poor (e.g. mines or major city centres). The vehicle speed signal may be a more reliable source. By default, GPS is the source used. Speed Figure 76 28 Speed Pulse - Calibration Mode has two options, Input Manually and Auto Correct. Auto Correct is currently unused. To use input manually, connect the speed cables on the IO cable then click save. Start the vehicle and then click start. Drive for at least a minute with a minimum speed of 40 km/h or 25 mph. Once you have stopped the vehicle, click the finish button. Now, you will have a mileage value (from your drive). Input the mileage value into the box and click calculate. Finally, your pulse ratio has been calculated. The pulse ratio will not change without speed pulse data input. (This section can only be viewed by selecting “Speed Pulse” in the Source dropdown box). Start is used to begin the analysis of your drive. Calculate is used to obtain the pulse ratio once you have entered the mileage value. 7.3.1.4 Speed Pulse Figure 77 Mileage Total Mileage displays the total mileage of the vehicle once it has been confirmed in mileage setup. The speed unit controls whether this value is displayed in miles or kilometres. Actual Mileage is a field that is manually entered. Type the current value mileage value once the MDR is installed. Mileage Setup is used to submit the mileage value to the MDR memory, click confirm once you are happy with the value. Click clear to zero the total mileage value. Prompts will display to ask for user confirmation. Mileage Figure 78 Snapshots Snapshot refers to an image of the video data displayed on an MDR channel. 7.3.2.1 Time Snap Time Snap must be ticked to enable all the options. You can have a maximum of 8 snap entries. By default, time snaps are disabled. Delete removes a time snap entry. You cannot delete entry 1. Snap Link Setup is where your time snap is setup. Start time refers to the time you would like time snaps to start. End time refers to the time you would like time snaps to end. There is no limitation of the number of snaps, but this uses the same storage limit as recordings. If the storage is full, then the oldest snap will be written over. Snaps are stored by vehicle registrations and time. Time Snap Figure 79 When exporting snaps to a USB flash drive. A folder named picture found in the following path F:\MDR-504xx-xxxx\”vehicle registration”\”date”\picture will be created. Channel is the channel that would like to setup a time snap for.

IO Snap Figure 81 7.4 Alarms General There are various alarms that can be configured in the MDR. Such as speed, panic, IO, video loss, motion detection, blind detection, G-Force, Geo-Fencing and HDD/SD Error. Alarms and events are different. Alarms are reported to the Centre Server (depending on MDR model). Events are stored but do not get reported to the Centre Server. (Please click into the Alarm Link before the following function can be viewed. See Speed Alarm Figure 84). All alarms use the Alarm Link Setup page. (See Alarm Link Setup 1 Figure 82) Channel is used to choose which channels you would like the alarms to be triggered based on. The options are 1 to 6 (4CH) and 1 to 16 (8CH). Post Record specifies the period of recording appended at the end of an alarm. For instance, if a sensor is triggered for 1 sec and the alarm duration is 30 seconds and the post recording is 15 seconds, the total amount of recording time will be 45 seconds. By default, this is 10 minutes. Lock represents whether an alarm cannot be overwritten by the MDR. When the retention expires, the locked files will automatically be unlocked and deleted. Refer to Chapter 7.2.2.1 General on how to set lock expiry timeframes. Alarm Link Setup 1 Figure 82 Alarm Output Link refers to the 2 outputs found on the IO cable. These outputs can be activated based on a linked alarm. Enable this for a high on the alarm outputs. Alarm Output Duration represents the amount of time the alarm output will be active for. This can be between 0 and 255 seconds. Channel Link can be used to display a single or quad configuration. Panic Button Alarm Duration is active when an external remote panel is connected to the IO cable. This will sound the remote panel’s buzzer for the specified time. By default, this is 0 seconds. The options are 0 to 255 seconds. Buzzer refers to the built-in buzzer inside the MDR docking station. Once this is enabled the duration can be configured. Buzzer Duration can be configured in two ways depending on the type of alarm being triggered. The options are ALWAYS (the buzzer will sound continuously without interruption) or TIMER (the buzzer will sound for the defined period). Timer can be set between 5 and 60 seconds. For example, video loss is a catastrophic failure and Brigade suggests using ALWAYS for such an alarm. Alarm Link Setup 2 Figure 83 Alarm Snap can be enabled, the settings are based on the alarm snap link setup. Refer to 7.3.2 Snapshots to define what a snapshot is. 7.4.1.1 Speed Alarm Overspeed Enable is used to activate overspeed alarms or events. Alarm Type can either be alarm or event. Alarms are saved to the Centre Server (depending on MDR model, requires 4G/Wi-Fi)) and are displayed in the alarm log in Live view in MDR-Dashboard 5.0 Server mode. Events are stored but do not get saved to the Centre Server. Events are not displayed in the live view alarm log. Trigger Setup is used to control the conditions for the trigger. (See Speed Trigger Figure 85) For Alarm Link Setup details refer to 7.4.1 General. Speed Alarm Figure 84 30 Early Difference is an early warning for drivers to curb their speed. For example, if you set the speed to 70mph, and early difference is set to 5mph, then when your speed reaches 65mph, the MDR will sound a short beep to warn the driver. By default, early difference is set to 10 mph. Speed refers to threshold value for which speed will be considered an overspeed and recorded as an alarm. Duration Time specifies different lengths of time which allow for longer/shorter alarm durations. If the alarm duration is set to 30 seconds and a short 2 seconds alarm occurs, this would be treated as a 30 second alarm. Can be set between 0 to 255 seconds. By default, the duration time is 10 seconds. Speed Trigger Figure 85 Alarm Off-Delay is a period in which rapid activations/deactivations can occur, which must be ignored. This is applied when indicators or hazard lights are connected to an input trigger where the offtime is ignored. By default, this is 10 seconds. 7.4.1.2 Panic Alarm Panic Button Enable refers to the panic button found on the external remote panel. This is connected to the MDR via the IO cable.

Data Export Figure 108 Upgrade A bus-powered USB hub (minimum of 2 USB ports for USB mouse and USB flash drive) will be required for upgrade procedures. FMW/MCU Upgrade is used to upgrade firmware and MCU (Microcontroller) version. Firmware contains MCU version (combined package) for an easier upgrade. Although, you can also do individual firmware and MCU version upgrades if there have been newer versions released with new features. Please check Brigade’s website regularly for updates. Upgrades require a USB bus-powered hub. Firmware upgrades take approximately 5 minutes to upload. Firmware is OSD (on-screen display) related software and directly affects the user interface. MCU version is software related to MDR hardware functions. Create a folder named upgrade in the root directory of your USB flash drive. Copy either the MCU version or firmware files (or the combined package). Plug the USB flash drive into USB bus-powered hub which is then connected to the front of the MDR. Click upgrade to start the upgrade process, see Upgrading Progress Figure 110. After the upgrade, the MDR will restart and display System Upgrade Figure 111. Check if the firmware/MCU version has been upgraded successfully by checking system information. Upgrade Figure 109 Automatic upgrades can also be carried out. To complete this type of upgrade, create a folder named autoupgrade in the root directory of your USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive into USB bus-powered hub which is then connected to the front of the MDR. The process will only begin once the MDR boots up after ignition or after a 35 manual restart. The MDR will look for the folder during the start-up period. If it does see a different firmware, then you will be shown Autoupgrade Figure 112. If the firmware version is the same version installed on the MDR then no upgrade will occur. Warning: Do not connect an external HDD to the front USB port. Only USB Flash drives (which contain flash memory) is supported by this port. Brigade will not be held responsible for incorrect use of this port. Warning: Ensure the flash drive is not unplugged from the MDR during this process. Power must be supplied to the MDR without any interruption. Both firmware and MCU upgrades are very sensitive operations and any power loss may permanently damage the MDR. Upgrading Progress Figure 110 IPC Upgrade refers to IP camera upgrades. Refer to IP Camera Operational Guide. System Upgrade Figure 111 Autoupgrade Figure 112 Storage Format is used to remove data from the different storage types. It is possible to format HDD, SD (Internal), SD (Fireproof Box) and Front USB. You will be asked to confirm if you would like to format prior to the MDR starting the format process. See below. To format the fireproof box, click format then choose MDR5. This will format the device into a proprietary format that the MDR can record to. A USB flash drive that is plugged into the front USB of the MDR can also be formatted to MDR5 or FAT32 format. After formatting the HDD, the MDR will restart automatically. Storage Figure 113 Warning: Formatting the different storage types will delete all the data from that storage. Note: SD (Fireproof Box) and Front USB will only be shown on the OSD if plugged in Reset Factory Settings Restore use this feature to restore the configuration to its default factory settings. Any configuration will be lost, except video recordings and historical data (highest/lowest temperature, mileage etc.). System Restart is used to force the MDR to restart.

Timer mode must not be used for extended periods of time - this will damage your vehicle's battery. Non - stop allows the MDR to record infinitely. Enabling this will disable Shutdown Delay Warning. Using the MDR for prolonged periods of time without ignition (vehicle running) can drain the vehicle's battery. By ticking this box the MDR will check the complexity of your login password. If the password is default or too simple a window will pop up after the MDR has started up and will to ask you to change its password to be more complex. This will show every time the MDR starts up, a mouse is required to remove the notification each time. Automatically obtains IP address from network. Close This will ensure that alarms that are set as locked files will be stored for this time period. Locked files are automatically deleted once this period is over, regardless of remaining storage capacity. Timer prevents an MDR from turning Off - higher priority than on/off timer. This timer CANNOT control when an MDR turns ON. I.Frame MDR will record using one frame per second in order to save storage, but once an alarm is triggered, the MDR will record with the current frame rate. Normal MDR will record using the correct frame rate. Choice of a maximum of 6 options. Non-Stop allows the sensor output infinitely as long as the MDR is within the Geo-Fence region. Note: the region can be set in MDRDashboard 5.0 software. 85 14 Mounting Dimensions 14.1 MDR-504XX-X-XX-XXX(XX) For mounting centre holes please refer to MDR-BKT-01 drawing.

Do you wish to continue?” prompt at the beginning of the setup. This will have no effect if the DisableStartupPrompt [Setup] section directive was set to yes. /SILENT, /VERYSILENT Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Other prompts display as normal, for example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven’t disabled it with DisableStartupPrompt or the ''/SP-'' command line option explained above) If a restart is necessary and the ''/NORESTART'' command isn’t used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? messagebox. If it is very silent it will reboot without prompting. /NORESTART Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it is necessary. /LOADINF="filename" Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having checked the command line. This file can be prepared 89 using the ''/SAVEINF='' command as explained below. /SAVEINF="filename" Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file. /DIR="x:\dirname" Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Directory wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified. If the [Setup] section directive DisableDirPage was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored. /GROUP="folder name" Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. If the [Setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored. /NOICONS Instructs Setup to initially disable the Don''t create any icons check box on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. /COMPONENTS="comma separated list of component names" Overrides the default components settings. Using this command line parameter causes Setup to automatically select a custom 15.8 Events Table The following table illustrates the type of events recorded. This is illustrated in the event list search of the MDR and MDR-Dashboard 5.0. Event Type Event Name Video Loss VL Blind Detection Motion Detection Triggers Speed Alarm G-Force BD MD Name of the Trigger (e.g. IO1, IO2 etc. or PB for Panic Button) H-Speed G-Force Description Video loss alarm (e.g. the camera has been either deliberately or inadvertently disconnected). Blind camera alarm (e.g. the camera has been intentionally obstructed or a large object is obstructing the entire view). Motion detection for video capturing when vehicles are unattended. GPIO (general purpose input/output) trigger sensor alarm. Overspeed can be flagged and recorded. Excessive G-Force can be flagged and recorded. 16 Testing and Maintenance 16.1 Operator Instructions This information is addressed to the operator of the vehicle where a Brigade MDR 500 Series System is installed: 1) The Brigade MDR 500 Series is intended to be used as a mobile digital recorder. Drivers and operators should not interact with the MDR setup menu. The remote control should be strictly used by technically trained operators when the vehicle is stationary. 2) Testing and inspection of the system should be carried out in accordance with this manual. The driver or operator is responsible for ensuring the Brigade MDR 500 Series System is working as intended. 3) Operators using this equipment are strongly recommended to check the system’s operation at the beginning of every shift. 4) Improved safety can be achieved when used in conjunction with Brigade’s camera-monitor systems. This may allow triggering camera views and providing additional vehicle information during manoeuvring. It is necessary to read, understand and follow all instructions received with the Brigade MDR 500 Series System. 5) The Brigade MDR 500 Series System for digital recording is intended for use on commercial vehicles and machinery equipment. Correct installation of the system requires a good understanding of vehicle electrical systems and procedures along with a proficiency in installation. 6) Keep these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining and/or reinstalling the product. 16.2 Maintenance and Testing This information is addressed to the operator for maintenance and testing of a vehicle with the Brigade MDR 500 Series System installed. This is also to familiarise the operator with the features and behaviour of the system. More frequent inspections should be performed in cases where: • The vehicle is operating in a particularly dirty or harsh environment. • The operator has reason to suspect the system is not working or has been damaged. Procedure: 1) Clean the camera lens and housing of any accumulation of dirt, mud, snow, ice or any other debris. 2) Visually inspect the cameras and MDR unit and verify that they are securely attached to the vehicle and are not damaged. 3) Visually inspect the system’s cables and verify that they are properly secured and not damaged. 4) Ensure the area in front of the cameras is clear of obstacles and has the right coverage area to view objects. If any of the following tests fail, follow the appropriate sections of this instruction guide or contact Brigade if still in doubt. 5) Activate the Brigade MDR 500 Series System and verify the LEDs (on the MDR unit front) are illuminated, it should take approximately 50 seconds for HDD recordings to start after a file-system check. 6) This test can only be performed when the MDR video output is displayed on a Brigade monitor. Ensure that both the SD card and HDD are recording. Recording is shown with an SD card symbol and HDD symbol. 7) Other tests can be performed depending on the configuration. For instance, if Video Loss is activated, any disconnected or malfunctioning camera is detected. 8) Sensor trigger activation can also be diagnosed. For instance, if a trigger is setup to turn a channel on full screen or set an alarm. This will be identified by the channel occupying the full screen or a red-letter A (if a Brigade monitor is connected). 9) GPS, G-Sensor, Supply Voltage and Heater functioning can be accessing SYS INFO using the mouse (if a Brigade monitor is connected). 90 17 General Antennae Guidelines (a) Ensure that the cable is: • properly secured but ensure that the cable is not strained or distorted • routed in such a way as to avoid sharp bends • not run in parallel with vehicle wiring wherever possible • routed as far away as possible from any electronic module (b) Excess coaxial cable should not be coiled up as this may affect the tuning of the antenna as well as producing electrical interference. Excess cable should be laid out over a larger area to avoid potential coiling. (c) Before connection to the equipment the antenna system should be DC tested at the equipment end of the coaxial cable for continuity and to ensure there is no short circuit. (d) Antenna positions should be planned to achieve best separation between antennas while maintaining a suitably sized ground plane for each one. Each antenna should be separated by at least 50cm where possible. This includes antenna already fitted to the vehicle, for example; radio, phone and GPS devices. (e) Record and playback a short section to check recordings do not have or cause interference. EMC issues may cause interference to in-car entertainment equipment or other vehicle electrical equipment. Also, the antenna may pick up noise received from the vehicle or other fitted role equipment such as light bars, GPS processors and other digital (computing) equipment and present it to the radio equipment as interference. Repositioning may be required. 18 Troubleshooting 18.1 MDR Unit Scenario Loss of recording data System Power loss Data Corruption due to Power loss Video Loss No recording on SD or HDD MCU failure Failure due to Environment Docking Station Failure HDD inconsistent functionality (HDD Repair) Detection 1.
