From Amptronix, a DVR With Rugged Removable HDD

Continue the success of Amptronix Mobile DVR-350 Series in aviation, military and industrial applications, Amptronix Inc. has pushed the boundary of Mobile Surveillance by introducing Mobile DVR ARM354 (MDVR354-RM) Series integrated with the most rugged, patent-designed removable hard drive for applications with advanced data transport and security concerns. The rugged device is designed to meet the MIL-STD-810F in shocking, vibration, and operating temperature to provide uninterrupted video recording under harsh environment mobile surveillance needs, such as aviation, military vehicle, school buses, trains, law enforcement, fleet, trucks, and other industrial applications.

Amptronix Mobile ARM354 (MDVR354-RM) Series features high capacity, high performance storage disk in a ruggedized package that can survive the rigors of fleet transportation and distribution systems. The rugged disk features up to 5,000Gs/0.5ms (non-operating) 300Gs at 2ms (operating) shock resistant and up to 3G (2.5~500Hz) non-operating 0.67Gs (5~500Hz) vibration-resistant removable storage media utilize 2.5-inch hard drive cartridge up to 160GB (Cartridge with Solid State Disk is available upon request by projects).

Operating temperature ranges at 5°C~55°C and storage temperature at -40°C~65°C. The rugged disk not only engineered to withstand harsh mobile environment by meeting military standards, but also designed as the most compact pocket-size removable storage device in an ultra lightweight and rugged enclosure. Compare to other removable HDD device in the market, ARM354 (MDVR354-RM) series provide additional convenience to users as there is no extra reader needed in reviewing the recorded data from this rugged disk. Users can simply connect rugged disk to PC with SCSI, IDE, or USB Firewire cables. The disk can be used as the most compact portable floppy disk for external data storage media on the move.
