Buying Fleet Safety Hardware: Samples, MOQ, Lead Times and Customization
Buying Guide
Evaluation samples have no minimum order quantity, and standard samples for road testing typically ship within 3 to 5 working days. Private-label production typically starts from 50 to 100 units depending on the device model, and our engineers reply to inquiries within 24 hours. This guide sets out what to expect at each stage, what to send with your inquiry, and what you can set up and update after delivery.
What to expect at each stage
| Stage | What happens | Typical quantity or time |
|---|---|---|
| Inquiry | You send vehicle types, operating conditions and target functions. Our engineers reply with a proposal and a factory quotation. | Within 24 hours |
| Standard sample for road testing | A listed model, so you can test on your own vehicles before you commit to a batch. | No minimum order quantity. Typically ships within 3 to 5 working days |
| Private-label sample | A sample with your branding on the housing, packaging, manual or boot screen. | Typically 2 to 3 weeks |
| Private-label production | Laser logo marking on the housing and branded packaging on a proven model. | Typically from 50 to 100 units, depending on the device model |
| ODM project with custom tooling | New circuit layout, lens choice, enclosure and thermal design, with sample sign-offs at the engineering and design validation stages. | Typically 6 to 10 weeks to engineering prototype samples |
These are typical figures. The exact quantity and time depend on the model and the scope, and your quotation confirms them for your project.
What to send with your inquiry
- The vehicle types and how many vehicles you plan to fit.
- The functions you need, such as driver monitoring, forward collision warning, blind spot detection or video recording.
- The operating conditions, including the supply voltage (12 V or 24 V) and the cab or body type.
- The platform you want to connect to, or whether you need the CMSV6 platform. See CMSV6 API and Video Integration for the options.
- The destination country, so that delivery and support can be planned for your location.
- Whether you want sample units, a private-label sample or a volume quotation.
Use the inquiry form or the Get a Quote button on any product page. Each product page also has a Request a Sample button and a datasheet request.
Power and installation
The driver monitoring models run on 12/24V vehicle power. The standalone MR688B is the one that can be powered through a cigarette lighter adapter: its standalone version (SV) works on its own with the adapter, and the other versions connect to the vehicle with a 5-pin or 4-pin hardwire cable. Its listed operating temperature is −10℃ to 50℃.
| Model | Power | Mounting |
|---|---|---|
| MR688B | 12/24V. Cigarette lighter adapter or 5-pin / 4-pin hardwire cable, depending on the version | Optional reinforced metal mounting bracket |
| MR810 | 12/24V vehicle power | Optional double-ball-head all-metal mount for rough roads |
| MR830 | 12/24V vehicle power | Ball-joint mount with a locking knob that holds the angle under vibration |
If you need equipment that does not need to be wired into the vehicle, these models are listed as wire-free. None of them is a driver monitoring unit:
| Model | Type | Power | Mounting |
|---|---|---|---|
| CC981-W | 1080p solar wireless camera | 9600mAh battery with a solar panel. Charging over USB 5V 2A takes about 5 hours | Magnetic base, no wiring |
| WP235 | 7-inch wireless monitor kit with two 720P cameras | Each camera has a 9600mAh battery and a solar panel. USB charging takes about 6 hours | Magnetic |
| G501 | 4G GPS tracker | 6000mAh battery | Built-in strong magnet, wiring-free installation |
| G502 | 4G GPS tracker | 1500mAh battery | Wiring-free installation |
None of the driver monitoring pages lists battery operation or a runtime, and the product pages do not describe recalibration after a unit is moved to another vehicle. If you need either, say so in your inquiry and our engineers will confirm what applies.
Setting up and updating the AI functions
Which detection functions a unit has is decided by its hardware version, and your quotation confirms the version. For example, the MR830 has eight versions on one hardware platform and the MR688B has five. After delivery you can adjust how the functions behave:
| What you adjust | How | Models |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm sensitivity, speed thresholds and volume | Smartphone app over Wi-Fi | MR810, MR830 |
| Alarm sensitivity, activation speed, volume and overspeed threshold | Hand setting instrument | MR688B |
| Firmware | Upgrade through the smartphone app, or through the hand setting instrument | MR830 (app), MR688B (instrument) |
| ADAS and DSM alarm parameters | Sent remotely from the CMSV6 platform | Devices that use an active-safety protocol |
| Which alarm types the platform shows | Tick or untick alarm types in the platform | CMSV6 platform |
| Voice prompt language | Default prompts, with custom languages and voice packs on request | MR810, MR830 |
For OEM customers, the customization scope also lists alarm thresholds, on-screen display and the language of voice prompts. The product pages do not describe changing the AI detection model itself after delivery. If you need that, describe it in your inquiry and our engineers will tell you what is possible.
Customization at a glance
| Mode | What changes |
|---|---|
| Private-label OEM | Branding on the housing, packaging, manual and boot screen |
| Firmware and protocol | Protocol mapping, alarm triggers, interface and platform docking |
| Full ODM engineering | New circuit layout, lens choice, enclosure and thermal design |
| Vehicle pre-fit | Factory installation packages for vehicle builders and upfitters |
See OEM Dash Cam and MDVR: What You Can Customize for the full scope and the project steps. The OEM and ODM page lists how a project runs.
Warranty and after-sales support
Listed models carry a 15-month factory warranty from the date of dispatch. For OEM partners the support includes RMA service, spare parts stocking, remote protocol debugging and long-term OTA firmware update maintenance. Warranty terms for OEM projects are set in the project agreement. Every board and finished device carries an individual serial number and QR code for traceability.
Questions about buying
Is there a minimum order for samples?
No. Evaluation samples have no minimum order quantity, so you can test on your own vehicles first.
How long does it take to receive a standard sample?
Standard samples for road testing typically ship within 3 to 5 working days.
What is the minimum order for private-label units?
For standard laser logo marking and branded packaging, the typical minimum starts from 50 to 100 units, depending on the device model.
How long does a private-label sample or an ODM project take?
A private-label sample typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. An ODM project with custom tooling and PCB engineering typically takes 6 to 10 weeks to engineering prototype samples.
How fast will I get a quotation?
Our engineers reply with a proposal and a factory quotation within 24 hours of your inquiry.
Can I buy a unit that runs without hardwiring?
For driver monitoring, the standalone MR688B SV version is powered through a cigarette lighter adapter. No driver monitoring model lists battery operation. Wire-free products on our site include the CC981-W solar wireless camera and the G501 and G502 GPS trackers. Ask our engineers if you need battery operation for driver monitoring.
Can the AI functions be switched on or off after delivery?
The functions of a unit are set by its hardware version, which your quotation confirms. You can adjust sensitivity, thresholds and volume, update firmware, and choose which alarm types the platform shows.
Does the quotation include the CMSV6 platform?
Platform authorization is listed in the standard components of some models, but the platform software cost is not included in a hardware quotation. Dedicated server deployment and custom API integration are available after a technical discussion.
Send your vehicle types, target functions and destination country through the inquiry form, and our engineers will reply with a configuration and quotation.
