Single-camera systems miss critical angles.

When incidents happen, you need complete visibility. Single-camera dash cams leave blind spots that cost fleets thousands in disputed claims and extended investigations.

Limited camera coverage

Side impacts, reversing incidents, and passenger compartment events go unrecorded. Single cameras capture forward view only, leaving your fleet exposed to liability gaps.

Video storage challenges

Multiple cameras generate large files. Without proper storage management and compression, critical footage gets overwritten before incidents are reviewed.

Incident retrieval delays

Pulling SD cards from vehicles wastes hours. Claims teams need immediate access to multi-angle footage, not next-day retrieval from field technicians.

Multi-channel recording built for commercial fleets.

Professional MDVR systems designed for heavy vehicles, long-haul routes, and high-risk operations. Record every angle with commercial-grade hardware that handles harsh Australian conditions.

Multi-channel recording

Support for multiple cameras covering forward view, driver cabin, side angles, and rear. Configurable channel layouts match your vehicle type and coverage requirements.

  • Simultaneous recording across all channels
  • Independent resolution settings per camera
  • Supports wide-angle and night vision cameras

HD quality with smart compression

HD recording with efficient compression balances video clarity with storage efficiency. Capture incident details clearly without overwhelming storage or upload budgets.

  • Adjustable bitrate for cellular upload
  • Configurable recording quality per camera
  • Night vision and low-light optimisation

Local storage with cloud backup

Flexible storage options support ongoing recording and incident workflows. Critical events can upload to the cloud for fast access by safety and claims teams, without relying on manual SD card retrieval.

  • Configurable local storage options
  • Automatic event-based cloud upload
  • Tamper alerts if storage is removed

Event-triggered recording

G-sensor detects harsh braking, acceleration, and impacts. Critical events are flagged, protected from overwrite, and uploaded automatically for immediate review.

  • G-force threshold alerts
  • Manual driver-triggered event button
  • Pre and post-event buffering for better context

From incident to evidence in minutes.

MDVR systems integrate with Ctrack platform to deliver multi-angle footage exactly when you need it. No SD card retrieval. No waiting for drivers to return to depot.

1

Event captured across all cameras

Harsh braking triggers recording across all connected cameras. System locks the footage and flags it as a critical event in local storage.

2

Automatic cloud upload

MDVR uploads flagged footage to Ctrack via 4G connection. All camera angles are synced with GPS and telematics data for complete context.

3

Instant review in dashboard

Claims team views multi-angle footage in Ctrack dashboard. Playback is synchronised across all channels with timeline scrubbing and zoom controls.

Works with Ctrack platform

MDVR systems connect to Ctrack for unified fleet management. View video alongside GPS tracking, driver behaviour scores, and compliance logs in a single dashboard.

MDVR systems FAQ

Common questions about multi-channel mobile DVR systems for fleet vehicles.

Ctrack MDVR systems support multiple camera channels depending on the model and vehicle type. Common setups include forward road view, driver cabin, rear view, and side angles where needed.

Our team helps you design the camera layout based on your risk profile, routes, and operational requirements.

Storage duration depends on the number of cameras, recording quality, and retention settings.

You can protect critical events from overwrite, set upload rules for key time periods, and use event-based cloud upload so safety and claims teams can access footage quickly when it matters.

Yes. MDVR systems connected to Ctrack platform support live streaming over 4G connection. You can view any camera channel in real-time from the dashboard.

Live view is commonly used for dispatch verification, driver assistance during reversing, and incident investigation while the vehicle is still at scene. Cellular data usage applies, so most fleets use live view selectively rather than continuous monitoring.

MDVR systems send tamper alerts to Ctrack platform if storage is removed or cameras are disconnected. These alerts include timestamp, vehicle ID, and GPS location so fleet managers can follow up immediately.

Critical events are uploaded to cloud storage within minutes of occurrence, so even if storage is removed after an incident, the footage is already secured offsite. Some fleets mount MDVR units in locked enclosures for additional physical security.

Yes. MDVR systems can integrate with AI-powered driver-facing cameras that detect fatigue, distraction, and mobile phone use. When AI cameras detect unsafe behaviour, they trigger the MDVR to flag and upload the incident across all channels.

This gives you both the AI alert (fatigue detection) and the multi-angle evidence (what was happening on the road at that moment). Most fleets run driver-facing AI cameras on channel 2, with forward road view on channel 1 and additional angles on remaining channels.

Yes. Many Ctrack customers start with single forward-facing cameras and upgrade to multi-channel MDVR systems as their fleet grows or risk profile changes. The MDVR unit replaces your existing camera system.

If you are already using Ctrack platform for GPS tracking or telematics, MDVR integration is straightforward. Our installation team handles camera mounting, cable routing, and platform configuration. Most vehicles are back in service within 2-3 hours.
