A Quality DVR for Your Thermal Scope or Digital Night Vision Device

The UNV - MVDR is available with connectivity solutions for virtually every thermal imaging and digital night vision device that supports a standard NTSC/PAL video output. Options include custom rugged video cables for the ATN ThOR, IR Hunter, Pulsar Digisight, Sightmark Photon, FLIR RS series and more! We are continually adding video cable options to our line of custom rugged video cables. If you do not see a video cable for your device please contact us.

One Button Operation Video Recording Solution
The UNV MDVR features a trigger switch that allows the user to power the MDVR on and start recording in under 5 seconds(on position). The 2-position trigger switch will also stop the MDVR during recording and power the MDVR off when flipped the opposite direction(off position). This is a critical feature to capture footage in the field for 2 reasons. First, instead of fumbling for the power button and then the record button, or looking for a loose remote or fob, the trigger switch takes care of both of those functions with a simple flip of a switch that takes less than 1 second. The trigger switch can be mounted in a variety of places which allows the user to configure the activation to their liking. The trigger switch can be flipped quickly for a slightly audibly click, or can be flipped slowly for no audible click, but always offers a positive position change report to the tip of your finger. The trigger switch also has a raised indicator bar on the side of the switch that powers the MDVR on, just in case you need to confirm the MDVR is on or off. Second, opening the recorder pouch is a bad move in the field especially during a stalk or just before a shot. Opening the recorder pouch will allow light from the MDVR's LCD display to get you busted by that big hog or give your position away to that wise old coyote you were just about to have a shot on. It's also unnecessary movement and wasted time which decrease the likelihood of a successful stalk. The trigger switch takes care of these problems and offers a hassle-free solution. All you need to do is make sure your scope is connected to the MDVR and the MDVR is configured correctly before your hunt. You won't have to fumble in the dark looking for a record button, fob or expose the display causing you to miss the video that you wanted to capture.

Cable Quality, Customization, and Orientation
Here are UNV we are avid night hunters, and we have been at the forefront of designing and developing quality custom video cables for a wide variety of thermal night vision scopes. After years of testing, broken cables, and missed video opportunities we have developed a line of rugged and reliable video cables for thermal and digital night vision scopes. We use only the best multi-strand copper cable components and assemble each cable with an extremely high standard for quality assurance and attention to detail right here in the USA. Each cable assembly has be thought through, tested in the field, modified, and improved upon to create the most rugged and easy to use cabling for your night hunting needs. You will notice that our line of custom cables come in various lengths and orientations depending on the device that the cable is intended to be used with, and these customized solutions all have a reason - to make recording video easy and reliable.

A Quality Mini DVR
There are a wide variety of mini DVRs on the market today that are constructed with cheap plastic and don't handle recoil. From the cheapest DVRs to the DVRs over $500, we have tested them all and are proud to say the MDVR is just as good if not better! The MDVR housing edges are made of aluminum for reinforced stability around the micro LCD display. When a DVR is going to be taken into the field night hunting it needs to be rugged, and the aluminum housing edges offer a more rugged design. The buttons are low profile and located on the bottom of the housing to reduce the overall size of the MDVR and reduce inadvertent activation. Other DVRs require an external microphone, but the MDVR offers an internal microphone with external microphone capabilities(we recommend level 2 or 3 out of 10).The MDVR also had an LCD off function that automatically turns the LCD off after 10 seconds. The LCD off function is very useful for night hunting because it reduces your visible signature to almost nothing, and also saves battery life for extended use. We have tested many different types of DVRs in the field, and the MDVR is by far the most reliable, feature rich, and easy to use.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Some night vision scope manufacturers have changed the video output connections on current models of thermal and digital night vision devices.

Connectivity guide for thermal and digital devices
Below is a list of common connection cables for currently available thermal and digital night vision devices.

NOTE: The MDVR saves .AVI video files compatible with Windows operating systems. Apple PCs will require a .AVI to .MOV video file converter to view and edit video files.

IR Hunter Video Cables
The UNV - Right Angle IR Hunter video cable connects your IR Hunter Standard or IR Hunter MK II video out port to the video input on a UNV - MDVR portable night vision mini DVR. The cable is designed with military grade braided cable protection along with multiple layers of heat shrink to withstand years of use in the field. With a total length of 14 inches, the IR Hunter Video cable is the perfect length to connect the IR Hunter thermal weapon sight directly to a rifle stock mounted MVDR on a fully extended AR-15 rifle stock or any standard bolt action rifle stock. The precise length of the cable creates a streamlined system eliminating excess video cable.



ATN ThOR
There are 2 types of connections on ATN ThOR thermal scopes. You can easily tell which type of connection your ATN ThOR has by the color and design of the video out port. ATN ThOR scopes manufactured before 2014 use an MCX jack(female) on the right side under the eyepiece. This is a single hole with a gold colored plating. Choose the ATN ThOR MCX cable above for the best connectivity solution to a pre-2014 ATN ThOR scope after checking for the single gold colored jack. Begining in 2014, ATN began manufacturing ThOR scopes with a black 8-pin plug(male). Choose the ATN ThOR cable (8-pin) above for an ATN ThOR manufactured in 2014 after checking for the black connection with 8 pins.
NOTE: TO TURN VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL ON THE ATN THOR PRESS UP AND DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY

    Another Great Order

    Posted by Larry on Jan 24th 2019

    Quick shipping and the order was exactly as pictured. The extra battery was appreciated and the mini DVR is a very small and well designed unit. Everything seemed to work as intended. Rich was very helpful on the phone in selecting the correct cable and he told me how to hook up cables in the kit as an interim measure. Excellent service.

    MDVR Night Vision recorder

    Posted by Wayne on Oct 1st 2018

    I have used the recorder a couple of times and it works good.The only problem I have is that it took 24 days to get my order. The order said it was in process. I had to call to find out that there was a part on back order.

    Posted by Waszy on May 4th 2018

    Completed much research before purchasing. Overall great product, made well, works great, and tech service great as well. Had to call twice for assistance with initial set up and support from Ultimate NightVision was superb. Using on a ApexXQ38 Thermal Scope.

    Everything arrived in excellent condition and functions perfectly as advertised. The instructions are well thought out and made it a breeze to get setup! I showed this setup to a friend I hunt with on a deprivation permit and he will be purchasing one soon!

    A little something for my Photon XT

    Posted by Mike W on Mar 31st 2018

    I’ve been eyeing this little addition for sometime. Wish I had it 2 months ago when I shot 8 hogs in 3 hours. I got it connected to my Photon XT 4.6x and thus far, it works great. Recording quality is slightly degraded compared to the original sight picture but I also understand my NVS is a Gen 1 under $500 so beggars can’t be choosers. I ran into a snag with my shipment. I sent an email to the Ultimate Nightvision. I kid you not, Tyler Adair, with UN, called me about 15-20 minutes after I sent the email. I almost didn’t answer thinking it was a scam call but thought twice when the caller ID read Texas. I’ve never had that happen. Off that alone, I would give customer service 6 stars. I
    I hope to give it a thorough field test in 2 weeks but right now I’m optimistic.

    MDVR Night Vision Mini DVR for Thermal Devices

    Posted by Bob on Mar 31st 2018

    Delivery was fast and order content accurate. An extra battery and two different pouches for the MDVR were a nice bonus. Seeing and shooting feral hogs and coyotes in the dark is great! Even better with a quality, thru the sight, video! Highly recommend Ultimate Night Vision!

    Purchasing an MDVR mini DVr

    Posted by Micah on Jul 25th 2017

    Ordering from UNV was due to a recommendation from Daniel at Down Range Thermal-He didn't sell the MDVR, but he said UNV are the best to go to. I called them and after a little phone tag, I was able to order. Received product in a few days and then experienced problems with image on the screen. I sent an email over the weekend, and within 24 hours, I had an email instructing me what to do. It was a simple fix/change of settings on my scope.
    My experience was a definite WOW! They are good to go Thank you UNV

    DVR works great

    Posted by Tim G. on Jun 3rd 2017

    Fast delivery. The dvr was as described. I connected it to a pulsar apex. The setup was strait forward. It works great but my horizontal cross hair does not show up in my videos. Not a show stopper.
