iCustodian® iC9800MDVR-AI Hybrid Mobile DVR
4-Channel Vehicle CCTV Recorder with 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Encryption & Remote Viewing
Intelligent Vehicle CCTV That Does More Than Simply Record
The iCustodian iC9800MDVR-AI is an advanced 4-channel Mobile Digital Video Recorder designed for commercial vehicles, fleet operators and vehicle owners who require reliable video recording, remote monitoring and intelligent driver-safety features.
Unlike a standard mobile DVR that only records what happens, the iC9800MDVR8-AI can also analyse the road, monitor the driver and detect activity around vehicle blind spots. It can provide warnings when it detects potentially dangerous driving conditions or unsafe driver behaviour, helping fleet managers improve safety and investigate incidents more effectively.
The system supports up to four Full HD 1080P cameras, together with 4G, Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity. Once connected and configured with our CMSV6 remote viewing server, authorised users can monitor vehicles from a mobile phone or computer, wherever an internet connection is available.
Why Choose an AI Mobile DVR?
A traditional mobile DVR mainly records video for later review. The iCustodian iC9800MDVR8-AI adds intelligent safety monitoring that can identify risks while the vehicle is being driven.
Depending on the connected cameras and selected configuration, the AI system can monitor:
- The road ahead
- Lane position
- Distance from the vehicle in front
- Pedestrians and possible collision risks
- Driver tiredness
- Driver distraction
- Mobile phone use
- Smoking
- Yawning
- Closed eyes
- Seat-belt use
- Vehicle blind spots
This means the system does not simply provide evidence after an incident. It can also help alert the driver to potentially dangerous situations as they develop.
The AI functions are designed to support the driver and fleet operator. They do not replace careful driving, proper vehicle checks or normal road-safety procedures.
Main Features
Four-Channel Full HD Recording
Connect up to four compatible AHD vehicle cameras and record several areas at the same time.
Camera positions may include:
- Road-facing camera
- Driver-facing camera
- Left-side camera
- Right-side camera
- Front blind-spot camera
- Rear blind-spot camera
- Vehicle interior camera
- Load or cargo-area camera
The recorder supports selectable recording resolutions including:
- 1080P
- 720P
- D1
- CIF
It can support up to four channels of 1080P recording, depending on the system configuration.
Advanced H.265 and H.264 Video Compression
The iC9800MDVR8-AI supports modern H.265 and H.264 video compression.
H.265 helps reduce video file sizes while maintaining good image quality. This allows more footage to be stored than with many older recording systems using less efficient compression.
Audio is recorded using the G711a format.
Intelligent AI Safety Features
ADAS Road-Safety Monitoring
The Advanced Driver Assistance System monitors the road ahead using a dedicated forward-facing camera.
It can support warnings for:
Forward Collision Warning
The system can detect when the vehicle may be approaching another vehicle too quickly and provide a warning.
Lane Departure Warning
The system can detect when the vehicle begins moving out of its lane without the expected lane positioning.
Pedestrian Collision Warning
The road-facing camera can help identify pedestrians ahead and warn of a possible collision risk.
Vehicle-Too-Close Warning
The system can warn when the vehicle is travelling too close to the vehicle in front.
These functions can help encourage safer following distances and more attentive driving.
DMS/DSMX Driver Monitoring
The dedicated driver-facing camera monitors the driver for behaviours that may increase the risk of an accident.
Supported detections include:
- Driver fatigue
- Closed eyes
- Yawning
- Distracted driving
- Mobile phone use
- Smoking
- Abnormal driver position
- Seat-belt detection
- Driver not visible
- Camera obstruction or video occlusion
- Sunglasses identification
The system can provide alerts when selected behaviours are detected, helping the driver remain focused and helping fleet managers identify repeated unsafe driving habits.
Blind-Spot Detection
Large vehicles can have significant areas that are difficult for the driver to see. The optional BSD system uses external cameras to monitor selected blind spots around the vehicle.
Supported camera positions can include:
- Front
- Front right
- Front left
- Right side
- Left side
- Right rear
- Left rear
The system supports the selection of two BSD monitoring positions, depending on the installation and vehicle requirements.
Compatible BSD cameras are rated IP66 for outdoor vehicle use and can be combined with an optional audible and visual alarm.
4G and Wi-Fi Remote Viewing
The iC9800MDVR8-AI supports both 4G mobile-network connectivity and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing the recorder to communicate with a remote monitoring platform.
Once the recorder has been correctly configured with our CMSV6 server, authorised users can remotely access vehicle information using a compatible computer, mobile phone or tablet.
Depending on the CMSV6 account, server configuration and installed equipment, remote functions may include:
- Live camera viewing
- Multi-camera monitoring
- Remote video playback
- Vehicle location viewing
- GPS route history
- Alarm and event monitoring
- Device-status checking
- Vehicle and fleet management
- Remote device restart
- Remote configuration and management
- Video analysis and incident investigation
Remote viewing requires a suitable SIM card or Wi-Fi internet connection, correct APN and server settings, sufficient mobile data and an active CMSV6 account.
GPS Vehicle Tracking
The recorder supports integrated satellite positioning using:
- GPS
- BeiDou
- GLONASS
When connected to CMSV6, the positioning system can help fleet operators view vehicle locations and review routes alongside recorded video.
This can be especially useful for:
- Fleet tracking
- Route verification
- Delivery monitoring
- Driver management
- Incident investigation
- Confirming where an event occurred
- Reviewing vehicle activity
The GPS antenna should be installed with a clear view towards the sky and away from metal obstruction or electronic interference.
Flexible Video Storage
The iC9800MDVR8-AI supports two storage options:
- One 2.5-inch HDD or SSD
- One SD card with a capacity of up to 512GB
Using both storage options provides flexible recording capacity and additional storage security.
The recorder supports automatic loop recording. When the selected storage becomes full, older standard recordings can be overwritten by newer recordings, depending on the configured recording settings.
The lockable storage compartment helps protect the installed HDD or SSD, SD card and SIM card from unauthorised access.
Power-Loss Protection and Delayed Shutdown
Sudden power loss can damage ordinary video files. The iC9800MDVR8-AI includes power-loss protection designed to help protect video data when vehicle power is interrupted.
The recorder also includes an independent delayed-shutdown circuit. This allows the unit to continue operating for a selected period after the vehicle ignition has been switched off.
The delay time can be configured according to operational requirements.
This is useful for recording activity immediately before and after the driver leaves the vehicle.
Multiple Recording Modes
The recorder supports several recording methods, including:
- Automatic recording
- Continuous recording
- ACC ignition-controlled recording
- Manual recording
- Alarm-triggered recording
- Event recording
Recording can begin automatically when the vehicle is started, depending on the power and ACC configuration.
Easy Video Search and Playback
Recorded video can be searched by:
- Date
