Abstract

Disclosed is a digital video recorder system. A digital video recorder and a mobile monitor are interconnected by one connector cable since a pair of connectors is installed thereto. The mobile monitor has a control panel, and a control signal generated from the control panel is input to the digital video recorder by means of the connector cable. Several external devices connected to the digital video recorder are rapidly connected at a time through a wire harness connector cable. The digital video recorder system may allow a plurality of external I/O devices such as video camera and alarm device to be rapidly connected to the digital video recorder at a time, and the entire system may be effectively operated and managed with one mobile monitor under the circumstance that several digital video recorders should be distributed to several spots.

Claims

1. A digital video recorder system, comprising:

a digital video recorder for receiving an image signal from outside and recording the image signal in a digital storage medium; and

a mobile monitor including a control panel composed of a plurality of switch buttons for controlling the digital video recorder and a display panel for displaying an image so as to regenerate and monitor the image recorded in the digital storage medium,

wherein a pair of connectors are installed to the digital video recorder and the mobile connector so that the digital video recorder and the mobile connector are interconnected by one connector cable, and a control signal generated from the control panel is input to the digital video recorder by means of the connector cable.

2. The digital video recorder system according to claim 1,

wherein the digital storage medium is composed of a hard disk drive, and the hard disk drive is loaded in a movable carrier and then detachably installed to a fixed frame mounted to a main body of the digital video recorder.
