With various aspects of servicing, maintenance, including driver assisted features and vehicle monitoring. For our 1996 Rover 200 and the 04 ZR 120+

In 2013 the DVR 207 was initially used for testing purposes, video quality was better than expected, and performed reasonably well over a 12 month trial period, only exception, was the annoying buzzing sound coming from the unit, due to some earlier models not having a membrane inserted behind the menu buttons, an easy fix, but still needed to update to a better quality dual camera system.

DVR 207 Flip Screen 2013 to 2014  

Opposed to using the supplied screen mount, we created our own designed alloy support bracket, shown located above right of rear view mirror, with camera viewing screen in the closed position. 

From 2014 to present, and now with front and rear remote activated mobius cameras being installed, much smaller than the above DVR 207 about the size of a 'tic tac' box, compact and with no viewing screen, makes for a very secure and stealth fitting with this particular model of 'clown catchers' For setting up the parameters, we use the Mobius mSetup Version 3..0..1..0 With each lens recording in wide angle mode.

Mobius Rear Camera Location 2014   

Centre position of the rear located mobius camera, shown slipped into the supplied holding bracket, high level and discreet, with the power cable fed in along the inside of the rear trim panel.

To power up the mobius monitoring system a drivers side dashboard located button switch activates each camera simultaneously, power is supplied using dual USB cables. the 16gb micro cards we have installed in the cameras, have a combined eight hours recording time before being over written. Which are sufficient to review any incidents en-route.
