How does the system work?

• Real-time data from recorder installed on each vehicle will be transmitted to the central server system via 3G/4G when the bus is running on the road. People can have access to the recorder real-time data remotely via the Intelligent Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS) platform and App.

• The central server ( including the WiFi downloading server where the recorded files will be uploaded ) is installed at the facility where the vehicles return and park overnight. And a wireless network is set up at this place which has configured to connect to the central server and provide access points in the bus lot.

• When a vehicle returns to the facility and is in the wireless network range, the Wi-Fi radios on each vehicle automatically connect to the access points - directly transmitting any scheduled, automatic event-based, or end-user requested video contents to the WiFi downloading server wirelessly and cost-effectively.

Computers connected to the server via Cellular/Wi-Fi and using the IVMS client software or MDVRPlayer playback software can quickly and easily search the video database on selected criteria. Besides the basic video contents, end-users can also get extensive email alerts and MDVR system reports like the mileage report, alarm reports speed report, etc., recorder health reports based on the operator’s requested.

IVMS ( Intelligent Vehicle Management Software )

The newest IVMS V7 software system is designed and developed by our ICarVisions RnD team independently with our own complete independent intellectual property rights, which includes the new IVMS server software, new IVMS V7 PC, and web platform.

The IVMS server system consists of several cluster sub-servers, they are login server, gateway server, streaming media server, user server, WiFi download server, storage server, database server, and the web server.

The IVMS cluster server system is designed for providing constant and uninterrupted application service for users to access to server-based resources in case any sub-server failed and the other sub-server server programs can continue working well without any affecting.

IVMS V7 PC client, web client, and mobile application are designed to enable users to have access to vehicle real-time video and tracking data 24/7/365 from mobile DVR system directly and easily.

Besides the basic function to provide real-time video and audio, the IVMS platform can also support other multiple features and functions:

More importantly, all the software will be provided for users as free, and they can also enjoy lifetime server license maintenance service and software upgrading service.
