The Hikvision AE-MN5043(RJ45) is a professional-grade 4-channel mobile NVR engineered for vehicle video surveillance across buses, trucks, taxis, and fleet vehicles. Supporting H.265/H.264 compression, dual 2.5” HDD/SSD bays, built-in GPS, optional 4G/Wi-Fi modules, and wide 9–36V DC input, this rugged mobile recorder delivers reliable HD recording, secure data storage, and real-time remote transmission for demanding transport environments in Australia and New Zealand.
Product Description
The Hikvision AE-MN5043(RJ45) mobile NVR is purpose-built for vehicle-based surveillance and fleet management applications. Running on a stable embedded Linux operating system, it provides high-definition recording up to 5MP per channel (from firmware V5.6.4), dual-stream encoding, and advanced data protection features.
Designed for public transport, school buses, mining vehicles, logistics fleets, learner-driven vehicles, and taxis, this unit supports four IP cameras via PoE interfaces, with expansion capability via a PoE switch. Its aluminum die-cast, fanless chassis ensures durability in harsh environments, while the built-in super-capacitor and power-off protection safeguard critical recordings during sudden power loss.
With built-in GPS/GLONASS positioning, G-sensor integration, alarm I/O, and driving information interfaces (braking, reversing, turning), the AE-MN5043(RJ45) provides comprehensive vehicle monitoring and event recording.
