Mobile DVRS with GPS and Maping software

Recommended Posts

Looking for any experience with Mobile DVRs with built in GPS and data logging. I am working with a company that has a large demand for a system like this and I am looking at the options that are out there. Right now they are using http://www.saysecurity.com/ and are looking into http://www.aventuratechnologies.com/default.asp.

 

I am open to all options and I want to see what is out there. The SAY mobile have some nice features but it seems like everything is in beta and we need stuff that is going to work. They have a hosted solution that lets you log into the mobile DVRs and view the live video and track the cars on a Google map interface. You can see the cars moving on the map then you can click on them and a window pops up so you can see a live feed. What other options are out there?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the interest in our products. Our h.264 mobile is fairly new and we are working on porting the full feature set of our old MPEG4 Mobile to the new hardware. This will give the appearance of "beta". We expect to have everything done in the next 6 weeks or so. We are adding new features every week. A new easier to use interface as well as geofencing is being added this week to Mobilelink (our real time vehicle tracking and video streaming DVR web software).

 

If I can ever be of assistance, please contact me.

 

Cordially,

Jason

Is there any cost effective method of GPS tagging a vehicle and tracking its whereabouts with a PC?

 

I believe personal phones can be used if the personal cell/mobile phone is known. Otherwise, I suppose that the vehicle would have to be 'tagged' with a GPS emitter and then that signal would somehow have to be recognised by a satellite which would then pin-point its location. I have advised the Drug Squad to tag a few local drug dealers' cars, but I don't suppose they'll listen to me.

As I noted elsewhere, that's not how GPS works.

 

The tracker passively receives the satellite signals and calculates its position internally... that information can then either be logged for later retrieval, and/or transmitted real-time or at intervals by GPRS, GSM, WiFi, or any other common wireless technology.

Try the DM TransVu (AD Group).

 

Includes a built-in accelerometer and all the usual GPS tracking/Google maps/remote connectivity facilities plus allows connections to the vehicle's CANbus data network so you can also record the vehicle telemetry alongside the video/audio and location.

There are a bunch of small motorcycle trackers on the market that could be used, I think they have a GSM sim in them that reports it's position to a server and then you log on there to view the location.

 

If the cars you want to track are 'friendly' you could use Google Maps and Latitude to track their smart phones.

Is it the one with web access only and formatting USB drive into some strange file system?

I signed up just to post this. I recently purchase a Mobile DVR from Gadspot.

Here's the link: http://www.gadspot.com/p-315-gs3000cdr.aspx

 

I've only used it for about a week. The quality is pretty good, though I wish the night time video would be better. It looks like what you're looking for. It has GPS mapping and also records your speed. It claims to be 5 megapixels and plays 1080p. I haven't compared it with other brands or models, but I'm quite satisfied with this one.

 

They have a youtube video for it if you want to check it out:

 

It's pretty simple to use, I haven't had any problems with it so far.
