Remote Monitoring Functions Can Be Developed with ARK-V/S Series Full-HD/HD NVR Solutions

Advantech is pleased to announce ARK-V in-vehicle and ARK-S surveillance IP-based Full-HD/HD NVR solutions. The ARK-V and ARK-S series feature an integrated PoE (Power over Ethernet), certified hardware and intelligent management software design. ARK-V series has in-vehicle power (9~36Vdc, ISO-7637-2), in-vehicle certifications (E-Mark, IEC-60721-3-5 5M3) and vehicle software APIs for space-critical, in-vehicle applications. It also provides for extension and diversity communication (GPS/G-sensor/Wi-Fi/3G/CANBus) for connectivity, high graphics power (up to 1080p/720p @120fps) for video capture, and integrated software for manageability and security.

Certified In-Vehicle, Safety, and Rugged Solutions

For outdoor and rugged environments, vehicle vibration and shock resistance are certified at IEC-60721-3-5 5M3, a higher level than MIL-STD-810F. ARK-V series boasts vehicle power design certified by E-mark and ISO-7637-2. Both series have safety certifications including CE, FCC, CCC, UL, BSMI and CB.

Well-developed Vehicle and Surveillance SDK and APIs

Each ARK-V/S series unit comes with Advantech SUSIAccess software that provides a well-developed SDK and APIs. These add-ons let system integrators conveniently develop their own remote monitoring and control functions, vehicle ignition management, VMS, and peripheral connection management such as PoE status, GPS, and G-sensor.

Multi-Expansion for Diverse Scenarios

ARK-V and ARK-S series support up to four Mini-PCIe slots, including 3G/Wi-Fi/CANbus and mSATA. For example, in public bus information systems, a built-in CANBus module helps connect the vehicle to provide driving behavior such as driving speed, gear use, braking, fuel usage, and so on. Such information is also valuable in determining responsibility or liability in traffic incidents. This connection capability helps driver and traffic center communicate, very valuable when conditions are urgent.

ARK-V and ARK-S series improve efficiency and accelerate the implementation of in-vehicle and video surveillance applications.
