Overview
AVC400 series uses 4G network for communication. For these dualchannel
digital video recorders (DVRs), except to be able to record simultaneously,
the two cameras can also record locally and live stream remotely at the same
time. The frontfacing HD camera is used for reeltime recording; while the
cabinview camera with IR LED for monitoring at night time. Combined with DMS,
driving behavior analysis, multiple alert options, and much more, they can
assist the management in monitoring the vehicle condition and the driver’s
behavior at any time. This is very useful to coach driver’s behavior, improve
management efficiency, and lower operation cost, making AVC400 series an ideal
option for remotely managing ridesharing, rental, public, government, and
enterprise fleets.

Will, it automatically erases & replace old data?
– YES. The device’s internal storage can store 23 hours of substream
video(640
– Ok! So in this case, will it be possible to create a code on the Firmware to
automatically transfer data to Cloud Servers. Under the current situation: the
SD card has to be removed for transferring data. But in a scenario where a
vehicle has been assigned to a third party person / not available / records
are required for analysis purposes.
Is there a restriction on the API to share only one Video Playback file,
thru social media at a time? It would be great if we can have an option to
share multiple videos at the same time.
– Your platform can send a video playback file request to our platform, our
platform will give you the URL of the video playback file.
– Can this feature not be directly allowed to Amber Platform
What is the aspect ratio of live video playback in regards to Frames/Sec?
* – Aspect ratio:16:9; Resolution: 640360
Are the Historical videos stored on your server or device only?
– The video recorded by the device is stored in two places, the main video
stream(19201080) stored on TF card and sub video stream (640360) stored on
the device’s internal storage.
How can we retrieve videos in case of an emergency situation?
– They will be in the Event Video. The video is stored on TF cards, not on our

recording. The device will delete the oldest video to achieve the loop
recording feature.
Is there a function to automatically export TF data to cloud servers by
setting up a time frame or is there a possibility to create such an algorithm
for uploading Images

and upload them by an interval. PICTIMER,ON,X,1
Thru TF Card & OTA
– The device will connect and query our OTA server, if our server releases a
new FW, the device will autodownload FW and complete the FW upgrade.
