Howen just announced a breaking new AI solution, including the AI MDVR, together with the latest DMS and ADAS, which make up the most powerful and proactive mobile DVR solution ever in the telematics video industry.
Unlike the traditional MDVR solution, Howen took a leap in innovation and initially introduce the AI MDVR to the public. By embedding with a quad-core CEVA DSP processor that specialized in the commercial vehicle, it can run 20 times faster than any MDVR and able to process neural network algorithms. The specialized DSP core is more capable to execute continuously digital signal processing algorithms that can process images in the fast-moving scene better even under the pressure of multiple video inputs. Furthermore, the core features higher power efficiency and data compression technology that accelerate transforming speed.
Comparatively, the processor in AI MDVR overwhelmingly beat the same level Hisilicon chipset, no matter in computing power or compatibility. What’s worth mentioning is that, unlike other similar products that equipped with the Hisilicon process, Howen AI MDVR won’t face the sanction in international trade.
In addition to the revolutionary AI processor, the AI MDVR features a rich interface that supports a variety of I/O connection that joint to different peripherals and sensors, making it a more powerful and future-proof tool for fleet companies. By integrating with network modules such as 4G/5G, WIFI, Bluetooth, and so on, you can easily connect it with our powerful VSS platform or platforms provided by our partners. Ultimately, Howen AI MDVR is your best one-for-all solution covering surveillance, location tracking, and Artificial Intelligence functions.
Most powerful DMS+ADAS by neural algorithms
What’s worth mentioning is that the in-depth algorithms in the Artificial Intelligent systems (DMS+ADAS), are specially encoded by the world’s best image algorithm company who is also the algorithm provider of DJI and 80% of the smartphones’ camera system. Howen have been closely working with the algorithm company and simulate different scenarios and developing the most adaptive algorithms for vehicles’ real-world applications. Now, our algorithms are exemplified to have extraordinary performance in complicated light environment, therefore showing a better detection accuracy compared to similar AI products in the market.
The Driver Monitoring System(DMS) and Advanced Driver-assistance Systems(ADAS) are powered by a compound system that consists of two high-performance customized cameras as the “video signal catchers” and the AI MDVR as the “neural center”. These camera members are well-tested and tuned to work with our complex algorithms.
By configuring a 1080p HD camera and accurate FR algorithm, the DMS can effortlessly identify human state and facial characteristics. Plus, it can execute real-time driver evaluation and initial interventions to ensure drivers are prepared to take the control of the vehicle. Likewise, the ADAS supported by a high dynamic range camera and specialized algorithm transform road condition into driver alert, enabling drivers to take proactive actions.
Built to be more intelligent and stable
Besides the huge progression we made on hardware, we also upgraded the Mobile DVR system to dual-firmware to increase the systemative stability. The brand new firmware supports Smart H.265 video compression technology that is estimated to save up to 80% of storage room and data cost compared with the H.264.
Additionally, the new built-in six-axis sensor has a higher accuracy for displacement detection for harsh acceleration, harsh break, harsh cornering. What it means to the vehicle industry is a more comprehensive evaluation of driver KPI and promote safer drivers’ behaviors.
Furthermore, we made the AI MDVR smarter by developing the self-adapting functions for video mode and camera configuration. With these functions, fleet companies are no longer need to manually adjust camera resolution and switch from PAL mode to NTSC mode, saving time and setup processes in installation.
All-platform supported
We now unify the H-protocol for our VSS platform and FMS platforms. Our users can easily and directly joint our up-to-date VSS vehicle management platform or the FMS platforms provided by our reliable partners. It’s notable that the Howen VSS platform now supports review and export AI graphic reports from the evaluation of the DMS and ADAS. With the prompt development of the platform, more and more AI functions will come out to optimize fleet management performance.

Driving buses and trucks at night have always been a high-risk event for fleet companies. Despite 60% less traffic at night, over 35% of truck accidents happened at night. On the one hand, extremely low light environments largely limit driver view sight. One the other hand, marathon-style driving for over 8 hours drained off drivers’ energy. Both of these situations expose fleets in a dangerous environment that deserves exceptional management from fleet companies. Without effective vehicle camera solutions and solid videos for evidence, fleet companies could confront millions of losses and plenty of safety issues.
United States – A total of 4,951 people died in large-truck crashes in 2018. The number of deaths has increased 46% since 2009 (3,380 deaths).
Howen took this situation into consideration and just released a series of vehicle cameras for better video surveillance: V25, V26, V36. They are all manufactured with solid industrial structures that are specially designed for commercial vehicles. More importantly, these vehicle cameras are equipped with our selected CMOS solution to resolve video recording in low-light situations. Traditional vehicle cameras can only record night videos while lost control of the image dynamic range, which might help with nothing when the fleet management would like to analyze further more details in the videos.
Stunning video recording quality
The latest Starlight camera series powered by Howen Starlight solution perform far beyond the traditional vehicle cameras. We cooperated in-depth with the partner who supplies the most sophisticated sensors in the world to develop this low-light solution. Besides the 960P high-resolution record capability, vehicle cameras featured with Starlight solution can provide a clearer view with distinct objects as well as colorful videos. In our comparison under the late-night environment (>0.01 lux), the Starlight cameras present a sharper, clearer, and higher dynamic range viewing.
Solid quality made for commercial vehicles
Aside from the decent image quality, our new lineup is all crafted with structures that certificated with industrial level by authoritative sections.
V26andV36 both are certificated with IP68 protection level, which can support video recording outdoor in all seasons. What’s worth mentioning is that V26 vehicle cameras were adopted as rear cameras in Howen’s concrete trucks projects inMorroco and Guatemaladue to their uncompromised reliable quality.
V25 has two different models according to application purpose and environment. V25-1MK is a vandal-proof camera marked by level IK10, the highest EU protection level to resist external mechanical impacts.Vehicle cameras with IK10 protection can protect the fleet asset from theft or damage while keeping important information in the recording.
Similar to V25-1ME’s record capability, V25-1ME can withstand higher external impacts. Its outer shell is made by high-density steel 304 which reaches the level Exdllc – the highest level in EU standard to protect cameras from gas hazards like flame and explosion. Vehicle cameras certificated with ExdIIC are specifically applied in gas or oil transportation. In our Donimica’s project, V25-1MK cameras were installed on oil and gas trucks with our fireproof cable to help our client safeguard their asset.
