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.

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

Excellent
My First dvr to own and hooked right up to a pulsar thermal xd38a riflescope had a lot of troubles at first the MDVR kept saying on the screen "no signal" I couldn't figure out why, finally after about 30 minutes I realized I had to go in the scope settings and change it to NTSC then the image came right up on the devices lcd screen. Did a little recording in the house and played it back on a laptop and was impressed way easier than holding an iPhone to the back of the scope

Great recorder
Easy to use. Will be flooding YouTube with some cool videos

Neat! But could use a couple of improvements...
There's nothing cooler than sharing the thrill of a kill! However, I have to give it 4 instead of 5 stars for the following two reasons:
1) It is a bit fragile; the case isn't ruggedized, and the screen is fairly easy to scratch.
2) There is a "LOCK" slide switch on the device that disables all of the buttons to prevent inadvertent button presses. It would be a great idea if it would actually record a file with the buttons locked. It will power up when the switch is flipped, but it will not write a file to the card. Since I figured this out, I once managed to inadvertently engage the lock switch, and I missed a video of a double hog kill.
All that said, you can't beat the price when you buy a IRD TWS from UNV (is that enough acronyms for ya?). It's basically FREE - because UNV sells the IRD scopes at MSRP, and they throw in this gadget at no extra charge. Can't top that! Give Tyler a call and order yours TODAY!

Great Purchase Experience
Ordered Mini DVR for thermal scope......
It arrived even quicker than expected. I am really pleased with the Mini DVR... Awesome design and I really like the way it operates with one simple press of a button you are recording what's on the screen of your scope. I can't get over how compact the unit is and I secured it to the shoulder stock. Great set up. Will order from these guys again. -
Glad I waited
Checked out several DVR after finding this one and read the reviews went with this one from Ultimate NV. I couldn't be more happier. Easy to use. Fast shipping. Great company to work with. Thanks again!

love it
First I Started with a cvr640.. get even get me started with that... So far this thing has recorded great... very good quality and frame rate
-
Good buy
Easy to use, works great. Only thing is I wish the directions would expand on the type of SD cards and size for that unit. Unless it does say it some where and I just missed it.
Note: SD card specs lists in Tech Specs tab above. Storage type: SD card(supports up to 32G) Recording time is 20-40 minutes per gigabyte.
Thanks! - UNV -
