Ranger Hybrid DVR
What's New
New
  • System ignores Stop-Arm detection events for first 15 minutes after power on or vehicle speed exceeds 5MPH for first time. This prevents videos from being generated during the pre-trip inspection in the bus parking area. A note has been added to the stop-arm page on the DVR to reflect this as well. If the “Unit ID” is set to the default “PVVS” the stop-arm will work like normal at boot, allowing QC techs and installers to check the stop-arm without waiting 15 minutes.
  • Added support to new 4G modem model/type (EC25-NA)
  • Added 5 seconds to power off delay time to ensure proper shutdown if record delay and power off delay are set to same length.
Changed
  • Default display output (SD and HD) mode set to cameras 1-8
  • Disabled unused VGA output to reduce system operating temperature
  • Disabled Telnet and enabled SSH for more secure advanced troubleshooting by engineering
  • Add option to turn OSD on/off across all cameras on “Record” settings page
  • Improve Stop-Arm camera recovery if signal interruption occurs
  • Change default Wi-Fi SSID name to show serial number (instead of MAC), for example PV_RANGER_2207H9HD0012
  • Change Stop-Arm OSD to show “SARM” when Stop-Arm is open and “V” when a violation is detected
  • Improved Wi-Fi connection security
  • Improved post firmware update verification to ensure system stability
Fixed
  • Fixed issue where camera 10 (Stop-Arm) did not show on video output (SD or HD)
  • Fixed issue where camera 10 (Stop-Arm) videos not being sent up during video requests
  • Fixed issue where Stop-Arm Violation videos sometimes get sent to Alarm folder
  • Fixed issue where time zone might not match options from the dropdown list on “Date/Time” settings page
  • Fixed various web interface loading and refreshing bugs
