Integrated Control for Your Mobile Security Infrastructure

Gardiyan DVR Management Module is an integrated platform designed for the centralized supervision of in-vehicle mobile security systems and their associated DVR (Digital Video Recording) devices. This solution consolidates distributed mobile recording units under a single framework, providing fleet managers with comprehensive analysis and management capabilities.

The module incorporates critical functions to ensure the uninterrupted and reliable execution of field operations. Vital data such as the real-time GPS location of vehicles, the online/offline status of devices, instant alarm notifications, and the health status of recording storage units are continuously monitored by the system.

Leveraging its capability for full integration with other components of the Gardiyan ecosystem, this module enables the monitoring of not only DVR devices but also the overall status of the entire vehicle fleet and mobile security infrastructure through a single management dashboard. Consequently, managers can monitor the pulse of the entire operation from a single vantage point.

Core Usage Layers

On-Premises

Installation is performed on-premises, within the organization's own data center or fleet control unit.

  • Low-latency monitoring via a local network (LAN) connection.
  • Full control over device management and maintenance processes.
  • Ensures sensitive vehicle location data remains within the organizational boundaries.

Cloud

Offers a scalable structure via cloud architecture, supporting multi-location fleets.

  • A management dashboard accessible from anywhere.
  • Centralized reporting, alarm notifications, and location history logs.
  • Ease of backup, updates, and accessibility.

Cloud Transition

Enables gradual integration of existing local systems with cloud infrastructure.

  • Hybrid monitoring (e.g., vehicle DVRs on-premises, management dashboard in the cloud).
  • Minimization of risks and costs through a phased transition.
  • Seamless migration and preservation of data integrity.

Use Cases

Log Record Management 

Gardiyan DVR module centrally collects and analyzes all system, connection, and alarm logs originating from all devices.

  • The event, error, and connection history of each DVR device is recorded.
  • User-based and system-based log records are stored securely for auditing and traceability.
  • Detailed analysis based on specific dates, vehicles, or event types is possible through log filtering and search functions.

Map-Based Monitoring

Thanks to the real-time GPS-based tracking feature, the location of vehicles and the status of DVR devices are displayed on a single map interface.

  • Vehicles' live location data and historical route records are tracked via an interactive map.
  • The online/offline status of DVR devices is visualized with color-coded icons.
  • Vehicles experiencing connection problems or triggering alarms are instantly flagged on the map.
  • Field operations can be geographically analyzed through regional filtering and layered views.

Alarm and Notification Management

To prevent operational disruptions, all DVR and camera events are monitored by an automated alarm system.

  • Instant alerts are generated for situations such as device malfunction, connection loss, storage capacity full, or camera failure.
  • Alarms are communicated to the operator both on the system dashboard and via email or mobile notifications.
  • Alarm history can be reported based on type and time, and prioritization can be applied.
