When you have a large fleet equipped with outdated equipment and need to upgrade your technology, would you rather spend much more to replace the entire system or just replace the part that has a shorter service life, such as the DVR?
The mobile DVR (MDVR) is the heart of the system and the recording device. It stores files on a memory storage device, such as an SD card, SSD, or fragile hard drive.

There are times when you must move forward with new technology in your vehicle video camera recording systems, and this may call for replacing the cameras as well as the DVR. However, in most cases, the technology is good, but the DVR’s service life may have reached its end. In this case, many companies will force the customer to upgrade their new system because the connectors will not work on older and newer cameras or DVRs.

What this means is they designed product obsolescence into their product line, and the end result is their existing customers get screwed when all they need is a DVR replacement.
Large fleet owners or material handling devices may wish to consider our Forklift HD Industrial Operator Safety Camera Systems for their high reach order pickers, man-up order pickers, skid loaders, or other industrial lift truck applications as in the future when the previously purchased Forklift HD Industrial Operator Safety Camera need to be upgraded due to DVR service life end, the cost will be much less and they do not have to replace every component as they may have to with competitor systems.

It saves them about half the cost of the new DVRs and allows the new DVR to seamlessly integrate into the older cameras already installed on the vehicles.
