Introduction to MDR 500 Series Technology
Brigade’s MDR-508XX-X-XX-XXX(XX) and MDR-504XX-X-XX-XXX(XX) are advanced Mobile Digital Recorders (MDRs) designed to record and
playback 8 or 4 channels. 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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

files and geo-fence files. Please note Config Files are created by the user.
Configuration
7.5.1.1
Config File
Config File Export creates a configuration file
and saves this to a USB flash drive. This file includes
all settings except network and geo-fence related
settings. This file can only be read by an MDR 500
Series model. This is channel dependent.
A configuration file named CONFIG.CONFIG will be
created on the root of the USB flash drive.
Warning: Network settings and Register Info
settings are not contained in a
configuration file. To support MDR fleet
setups with an identical configuration
file.
Configuration File Figure 105
Note: If a configuration file with the same name is
present, this will be overwritten.
Config File Import is used when you have an
existing configuration file on your flash drive and wish
to import those settings to the MDR.

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.

• EXPORT - an executable file containing an embedded version of the MDR-Player 5.0
• AVI – industry generic video format (without metadata)
Aside from exporting features and event/log display, the MDR-Dashboard 5.0 can read directly from the MCU (Mobile Caddy Unit) or the internal
SD card. These features are not available with MDR-Player 5.0.
9.1
PC System Requirements
The system requires a PC with a USB 2.0 Type-A connector, which will connect the MCU to the PC. A USB cable with USB standard type A
plug to standard B plug is provided with the MDR. The MDR-Dashboard 5.0 is compatible with Microsoft™ Windows™ 7, 8.x (32-bit or 64-bit
version) and 10.x operating systems.
Note: To use the maps feature, an internet connection is required.

Retrieving HDD Data (Quick Guide)
Open the software by right-clicking on the icon
. Select Run as administrator. This will allow the software to read information from the
MCU. The default username: admin and “default password”: LEAVE BLANK. Once users have filled in username (this must be lower case) click
OK.
In Local mode you have two playback options, HDD and Directory. HDD - is active when the physical MCU (Mobile Caddy Unit) is connected to
your local PC.
Double-click the vehicle icon
. This will display ALL calendar events. Double-click on the relevant calendar date this will display the pre-
playback screen. Click on the CLIP button
. Only accessible during while video is being played or paused. Click on the OK button.
The clip settings window will open. Double check start time and end time. Check the number of channels you want to download. The more
channels you choose the bigger the file size.
Choose an option to download your file. Standard is for backing up/for users with the software installed. As it clips and creates video files in
proprietary format (H264). Export will export the footage into an executable when playing back you do not need Dashboard software installed.
We recommend this option if you are sharing this file with a third party (file must not be larger than 1.5 GB). AVI files playable by common
players such as Windows Media Player (WMP™). Each channel is saved separately so unable to view all channels simultaneously. This
solution is the portability of the format. The disadvantage is the lack of protection and missing metadata information. Files can be played and
edited by anyone. We do not recommend this option as it is not secure. Choose the path where to save your file then click OK.

• Once satisfied click on the OK button
• The following window will appear to choose the channels, clipping time (when
unhappy with the markers) and the kind of exporting function. There are three types
of exporting:
➢ Standard
➢ Export
➢ MP4
• The STANDARD option cuts the clip and creates a folder structure containing the
video files in original proprietary format (H264) onto a local storage device (e.g.
HDD).
• Note: Users are not allowed to use the same location as the original folder. Once
clipped, the files will be found in a folder named with the following format:
\Company_Name-Vehicle_Number\YYYY-MM-DD\record
Clip Settings Figure 190
• The EXPORT option allows users to export clips into a single .exe file with an embedded MDR-Player 5.0. This option is the recommended
solution as it contains metadata and the Clip. It MUST be password protected and played without the need of any additional player software. If
a password is not created, the file will not be accessible. Maximum size of the file is 1GB to 1.5GB depending on system.
• The MP4 option creates .MP4 files playable by common players such as Windows Media Player (WMP™) and Video Lan Client (VLC). The
advantages of this solution are the portability of the format. The disadvantage is the lack of protection and missing metadata. These files can be
played and edited by anyone. The only information contained in the video image is selected by the OSD options.
• Users may monitor the progress of current/completed download tasks under in the downloads area. Click the
button.
• See Current Download Tasks Figure 191. Task priority is a first come first serve basis. If another task has a higher priority, use

For Mobile Network / Wi-Fi MDR
models: Serial Numbers is shown
under MDR
Only for Mobile network or Wi-Fi
MDR units.
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.

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).

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.

When you connect a Fireproof box to the MDR.
This needs to be enabled in the OSD. Go to
Surveillance > Record > SD > FPB SD.
The MDR may restart to engage this new
hardware device.
All new fireproof boxes must be formatted before
use.
Please follow the below steps to do this:
➢ Format as FAT32 first so the correct storage
capacity displays
➢ Then format as MDR5 so the MDR can
record to this storage
The process above will never have to be repeated
Finally confirm storage under system information,
it should show under SD(FPB) as 31.2GB.
