Overview

• AVC425 series uses 4G network for communication. For these dual-channel 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. Several safety features are included in the system, including DMS, ADAS, exception alerts, and more.
• Furthermore, the 4G capability of the device enables seamless video streaming, live audio alerts, rapid data upload, route replay, and video history playback. With all of these features, fleet managers can coach drivers based on data and improve operations to unlock more benefits, whether they’re managing government, logistics, ride-hailing, or taxi fleets.
