DTP Qatar - Compiled from Howen quotations (17 Jul 2026), proforma invoice HNHW260727012-PI02 (27 Jul 2026), the Howen 2026 company presentation, and product datasheets.
78 line items across 6 product categories plus archive, 17 with confirmed pricing, the rest under RFQ.
Last built: .
VSS demo: granted - demo account + guidance videos received. (Was refused for weeks; conceded after the 2 Aug pressure email + call to Jack.)
CE certification: certificate received (RED 2014/53/EU, HK2207062913E, Aug 2022) covering ME40-01..04, MC30-01..04 and MA90-01..04 dashcams. Note: the BC03 bodycam is NOT on it.
Correct datasheets: received for the actually-quoted cameras - V40 IP (85°, IP68, 168g - not wide-angle as assumed), V16 IP (IP68, 258g), C60S0V4 AHD (IP67, 18 IR LEDs).
Full price list: declined - Howen doesn't maintain one; they quote complete solutions per project. Consequence: our RFQ must be a concrete configuration (the kit builder output), not a catalogue request.
Sensors (slide 26): Door, Temp & Humidity, OBD/CANBUS and RFID readers sold directly by Howen; fuel-level and weight sensors are partner brands sourced separately.
Lead time / stock: sample prep ~1 week (PI's 15 working days is the maximum); some PI items in UAE stock for fast testing purchase, rest from China.
Sample pricing: "will do our best to apply special pricing support" once order + quantities confirmed - still not a number.
Still open
Ignored in the 3 Aug reply: MDT production-resume timeline (their #6), evaluation/licensing units on loan or at-cost (#7), volume pricing tiers at 1k/5k/10k/25k (#10), Qatar territory & channel protection (#11). Re-raise all four.
NDA: they asked for our template - send it. Nothing else proceeds unsigned.
FCC certification (CRA simplified type-approval can use CE or FCC - CE now in hand, FCC status unknown) and BC03 bodycam certification of any kind.
MA90 series: appears on the CE certificate but nowhere in any quote, presentation or the website - what is it?
UAE stock: exact list of PI items available from the UAE reseller, prices, and the reseller contact Rocket offered.
PoN switches: anything bigger than the 3-channel PON03? Can PON03s be stacked/daisy-chained, and can they hang off a DVR/NVR rather than only a dashcam?
AVM output: AHD/CVBS/HDMI only per spec - is there an IP-output variant?
IP PTZ: none in the range - available/planned, or justification for AHD PTZ + AVM in an otherwise-IP system?
Pillar camera: housing dimensions + mounting drawings for V16 / V29 / V30 dome (custom in-pillar bracket will be fabricated). Any flush/pinhole camera not on the website?
Water ratings: still unconfirmed for V26 IP, V30/V10 IP domes, AVM exterior cameras, PON03, cables, BC03. (V16/V40 IP68 and V4 IP67 now confirmed.)
Marine use: ME41-02M on jetskis (salt/spray/vibration)? MC30/ME40 in boat cabins (humidity)?
ME35 MNVR: 4G (hard requirement) and storage type/capacity.
Recorder channel splits: confirm AHD/IP splits for ME32-06, ME31-12, ME31-16 (currently assumed in our kit builder).
VSS licensing: per camera/channel or per device? One-time or recurring?
BC03 storage: SD-card version or customization for removable storage? And storage media generally: include SD/SSD/HDD options and capacities in solution quotes, or do we source separately?
Remaining detail: C60S0V3 pricing (datasheet sent 19 Jul, never priced), S vs H suffix meaning, OBD reader vs CANBUS license overlap, AI license bundled-free confirmation at volume, AVM recommended recorder pairing, BSD vs Hands-Off-Detection mutual exclusivity scope.

Hero-MC30-02 H
Quote 17 Jul + PI
MC30-02 H Dashcam Bundle
The base dashcam unit for cars, vans and taxis. Two cameras are built in (front + in-cab), and it takes one IP camera natively, expandable to three external IP cameras total once you add a PoN switch (below). Compare to the ME40-02: this is the lighter, cheaper tier, with no RS232 port and only 1 TF card slot instead of 2. Buy this for cars, taxis and light patrol vehicles; move to the ME40-02 if the vehicle needs RS232 peripherals, a dedicated AHD camera channel, or more onboard storage. Water rating: none published - in-cab unit; boat-cabin/marine use is an open Howen question. CE certified (RED 2014/53/EU, cert HK2207062913E, received 3 Aug - covers the MC30-01..04, ME40-01..04 and MA90 series; the BC03 bodycam is NOT on this certificate).

ME40-02 V8 Pro Dashcam
The heavy-duty recorder for trucks and logistics vehicles, one tier up from the MC30-02H. Per Howen's datasheet it supports 4 external cameras total: exactly 1 AHD (analog) camera plus up to 3 IP cameras (1 direct, 2 more via the PoN switch above), and adds an RS232 port, CANBUS, a built-in panic button, and 2 TF card slots instead of 1. Buy this for trucks and larger vehicles needing serial-peripheral integration, a dedicated analog camera channel, or more onboard storage; the MC30-02H is cheaper and enough for cars, vans and taxis that don't need those extras. Water rating: none published - in-cab unit; boat-cabin/marine use is an open Howen question. CE certified (RED 2014/53/EU, cert HK2207062913E, received 3 Aug - covers the MC30-01..04, ME40-01..04 and MA90 series; the BC03 bodycam is NOT on this certificate).

Datasheet 19 Jul
Motorcycle AI Dashcam/MDVR
The only motorcycle-specific unit Howen offers - a small waterproof (IP67) box with 2 built-in channels plus 2 external AHD cameras, using its own fixed 1.7m cable and a 4-pin BMW connector rather than the aviation cabling used everywhere else in this list. None of the extension cables above are compatible with it. Relevant only if the program includes motorcycle patrol units; irrelevant for cars, vans, trucks or buses. Water rating: IP67 confirmed - rain/splash proof; jetski use plausible, marine confirmation requested from Howen.

MC30-02 N2
Company Presentation 2026
Mini AI Dashcam (2+2ch)
Sits between the base MC30-01 tier and the already-priced MC30-02H: still an AI mini dashcam, but capped at 2 external cameras instead of 3. Only worth pursuing if a specific vehicle genuinely needs exactly 2 external cameras and the small cost saving matters; otherwise stick with the MC30-02H already negotiated, since going off-list resets pricing from zero.

6ch AI Dashcam V9
An upgraded sibling of the already-quoted and priced ME40-02 V8 Pro, positioned for heavier logistics trucks with richer interfaces. Only worth investigating if a specific vehicle's wiring needs exceed the V8 Pro's 4 external camera ports, RS232, and single CANBUS; for everything already scoped, the V8 Pro already priced covers it.

MC30-01 H
Company Presentation 2026
Mini Eco-Dashcam (1+1ch)
A step down from the already-priced MC30-02H: fewer channels (1 built-in + 1 external, versus 2+3) and, going by the naming, likely no AI license bundled at all. Only worth considering for a bare-bones, recording-only unit with no face/DMS/ADAS requirement - which conflicts with the AI-heavy scope already discussed for this deployment, so treat this as an unlikely fit.

MC30-01 S
Company Presentation 2026
Mini Dashcam Variant (S-series)
Listed alongside the MC30-01H as an 'S' variant. Howen's naming typically uses S/H suffixes for hardware or cost variants of the same tier rather than a different feature set. Don't treat this as a separate purchasing option until Howen confirms exactly what differs from the H version - it may just be a factory SKU variant, not a real choice.

V40 Rear View IPC Camera
Rear-facing IP camera - datasheet received 3 Aug corrects earlier assumptions: standard 85° horizontal view with a 3.6mm lens (NOT wide-angle - the 175° V40 is the AHD version only). Electrically identical to the V16 side camera (2MP 1/3" CMOS, H.264/H.265, ONVIF, 11 IR LEDs to 5m, 6-pin M12 aviation connector), in a compact 168g rear housing. Part of the PI-validated combo Howen recommends for guaranteed compatibility (V40 + V16 + C60S0V4). Water rating: IP68 confirmed by datasheet. Operating -20 to +70°C.

V16 Side View IPC Camera (Eco)
Same IP camera family as the V40 above, in a side-facing housing, marketed as the cost-reduced 'Eco' tier. Confirmed by datasheet: 2MP, 3.6mm lens, 85 degree horizontal field of view, H.264/H.265, ONVIF support, 6-pin M12 aviation female connector, IP68. Use it for side or blind-spot coverage; it shares cabling and recorder-slot type with the V40, so the choice between the two is purely about where on the vehicle the lens points. Water rating: IP68 (datasheet-confirmed). Full datasheet re-confirmed 3 Aug: 258g, 11 IR LEDs to 5m, -20 to +70°C, part of the PI-validated combo.

V4 Rear View AHD Camera
An analog (AHD) camera, not an IP camera - this family outputs raw analog video over a 4-pin aviation connector rather than compressed digital video, and needs its own dedicated analog decoder channel on the recorder instead of a shared, expandable IP port. That's exactly why the ME40-02 only ever fits one of these: its single AHD channel is fixed in hardware, unlike the IP cameras above, which multiply with a PoN switch. Use this for the ME40-02's one AHD slot (typically the rear view); don't confuse it with the C62 IP cameras above, which use a different cable family entirely (6-pin, not 4-pin). Datasheet received 3 Aug: 18 IR LEDs, 1MP/2MP variants, 0.3kg, -20 to +70°C, part of the PI-validated combo. Water rating: IP67 confirmed.

Rear View IP Camera (Metal)
The metal-cased rear IP camera, sibling of the plastic V40 wide-angle already priced. Same 6-pin IP family (2MP, 12 IR LEDs, 3.6mm lens, 90 degree view), tougher housing for exposed rear mounting. Choose between this and the V40 by housing and view width: V40 gives a 175 degree panorama in plastic; this gives a standard 90 degree view in metal. Not in any quote yet - needs pricing from Howen.

C60S0V3 AHD Side View Camera
The side-mounted sibling of the V4 rear camera above, same AHD family (analog, 4-pin aviation connector, no audio). Howen sent a datasheet for this exact side variant on 19 Jul, but every quote and the PI since then have only priced the V4 rear camera - so if an AHD camera pointed sideways is actually wanted (as opposed to the already-priced IP side camera, C62S0V16), Howen needs to be asked directly to price this SKU; it isn't in any total yet.

BMW-to-Aviation Ext. Cable (5m)
The adapter cable that bridges the recorder's own multi-pin socket (a locking round-pin design the industry calls a 'BMW connector', unrelated to the car brand) to the aviation-connector standard the IP cameras use, 5 metres long. You need at least one of these for every external camera run - it's what plugs into the recorder itself. Different from the IP Camera Ext.

Aviation Ext. Cable (9m)
A 4-pin extension cable, longer (9m) than the 6-pin IP Camera Ext. Cable above. The pin count tracks which camera family it serves: 4-pin fits the AHD camera (C60 series, above), 6-pin fits the IP cameras (C62 series). Buy this only if the AHD rear camera needs to reach 9m from the recorder - a long bus or truck chassis, for example; for cars, the shorter cables above are already enough.

PoN Switch (3ch)
A small hub for the IP-camera side of the system. Howen's own spec sheet for the ME40-02 confirms it natively takes only 1 IP camera directly and 'supports PoN switch to add 3 IPC' - so the recorder's single AHD channel is fixed in hardware, but its IP camera capacity is expandable, and this switch is what does the expanding, similar in role to a small PoE switch on an office network. Buy exactly one per vehicle needing more than one IP camera (e.g. side + side + rear coverage); skip it if only a single IP camera is needed, since that plugs in directly without a switch. Water rating: unconfirmed - ask Howen (mounts hidden, but boats/washdowns make it relevant).

Hero-ME40-04 N3
Datasheet 19 Jul
4ch Economical AI MDVR (Bus/Truck)
A cheaper 4-channel recorder, but architecturally different from the ME40-02 above: per its own datasheet, all 4 of its camera inputs are AHD (analog) - there's no IP-camera port and no PoN switch support at all. That matters because the IP cameras already priced (C62 V16/V40) would not plug into this unit. A reasonable fit only if a vehicle is being wired entirely with analog cameras from scratch; if the fleet is standardizing on the IP camera family already quoted, look at the ME35 series (IP-based MNVR, below) instead.

ME41-04
Company Presentation 2026
4ch AI Dashcam/MDVR
A genuine step up in class from the motorcycle-only ME41-02M and the mini MC-series dashcams: proper 4-channel MDVR territory, with CANBUS library support and Ethernet networking built in, rather than the vehicle-port aviation cabling used on the dashcam-tier units. Relevant for a vehicle needing four simultaneous camera views with full network/CAN integration, but not truck-scale enough to need the bigger ME32/ME31 units below. Water rating: none published - in-cab recorder.

ME32-04
Company Presentation 2026
4ch AI MDVR
A heavier-duty 4-channel MDVR than the ME41-04 above, aimed at buses and trucks rather than cars. Choose between this and the ME32-06 below purely by camera count - 4 versus 6 - not by any other confirmed feature difference. Water rating: none published - in-cab recorder.

ME32-06
Company Presentation 2026
6ch AI MDVR
Same MDVR tier as the ME32-04 above, with 2 more camera channels. Pick this over the 04 variant only if the vehicle genuinely needs 6 simultaneous camera views (e.g. a bus with front, rear, both sides, door, and cabin coverage); otherwise the 4-channel version is the cheaper fit. Water rating: none published - in-cab recorder.

ME31-08 V5
Company Presentation 2026
8ch AI MDVR
The next step up in channel count from the ME32 pair above, for large buses or trailer-trucks needing more than 6 camera views. Skip it unless a vehicle genuinely has more than 6 camera positions to cover - it's overkill, and presumably priced accordingly, for standard patrol cars or vans. Water rating: none published - in-cab recorder.

ME31-12
Company Presentation 2026
AI MDT / 12ch Platform
One of the largest-channel recorders in Howen's range, grouped with the MDT dispatch tablets and the ME31-08 in the product line grid. Realistically only relevant for the biggest vehicles in a fleet - large buses, command vehicles - wanting near-total camera coverage; substantial overkill for anything smaller. Water rating: none published - in-cab recorder.

ME31-16
Company Presentation 2026
AI MDT / 16ch Platform
The largest-channel sibling of the ME31-12 above - same guidance applies, just for an even larger vehicle or one with an unusually high number of camera positions. Not a realistic fit for standard patrol or light vehicles. Water rating: none published - in-cab recorder.

ME35-04/08
Company Presentation 2026
4/8ch AI MNVR
The IP-camera-only counterpart to the ME32/ME31 MDVR line above - an MNVR (network video recorder) takes purely IP cameras, no analog/AHD inputs at all. If a vehicle's cameras will all be IP-based (the same C62 family already priced, rather than the C60 AHD family), this is the more architecturally consistent choice over the mixed-input ME32/ME31 units. Pick 4 or 8 channels by camera count needed. Water rating: none published - in-cab recorder.

ME30-04
Company Presentation 2026
Basic 4ch MDVR
The 'no AI' option in the MDVR range - a plain 4-channel recorder with no face/DMS/ADAS processing at all. Cheaper, but it won't satisfy any requirement calling for driver-monitoring or collision-warning features, which this program's earlier requirements explicitly wanted. Only relevant for a vehicle that's genuinely just about recording footage with zero analytics.

8+4ch MHVR
Company Presentation 2026
Hybrid DVR (8 analog + 4 IP)
A hybrid recorder that takes both analog (AHD) and IP cameras on the same box - useful specifically if a vehicle already has analog cameras installed and IP cameras need adding without ripping out existing wiring or running two separate recorders. Choose this over a pure MDVR or MNVR only if that mixed-camera situation actually exists on a given vehicle.

Hybrid DVR (8 analog + 8 IP)

Others (Licenses & Software) (2)
Platform and AI licenses. VSS connects units to remote viewing; the AI license ships bundled free with the main dashcams.
VSS-ME
Quote 17 Jul + PI + email 27 Jul
VSS Platform License
Not a device - the software subscription that connects a recorder to Howen's video-management server for remote live viewing, clip pulling, and event push. Without it, a unit just records locally with no remote visibility; with it, dispatch or command can see and pull footage off-vehicle. Every recorder and dashcam in the fleet needs one, so budget it per unit, not per vehicle (a vehicle with two recorders needs two licenses). Whether it's a one-time or recurring fee is still unconfirmed in writing - a negotiation point, not a buying one.

Hero-AL05-FDA / AL07-FDA
Quote 17 Jul x2
AI License (Face+DMS+ADAS)
The unlock for the face-recognition/DMS/ADAS features built into the camera hardware - without it, the unit still records plain video, but none of the AI overlays (drowsiness alerts, lane-departure warnings, face capture) run. It's already bundled free into both dashcam prices above (line shows $0 - Howen isn't charging for it separately on either the MC30-02H or ME40-02), so there's no separate purchase decision to make; it's listed only to confirm the AI features aren't a hidden extra cost.
Screens, dispatch terminals, sensors and add-ons not part of the camera-kit scope. Kept for reference; expand to view.
D8 DMS Camera (new design)
Company Presentation 2026
Driver Monitoring Camera
A standalone driver-monitoring camera doing the same job (fatigue, smoking, phone use, seatbelt, attendance detection) already bundled free into the MC30-02H and ME40-02's AI license above. Only worth buying separately if deploying on a recorder that doesn't already include DMS, or if the DMS camera needs to be positioned independently from the main dash unit rather than using the dashcam's own in-cab lens.

A7 ADAS Camera (new design)

Advanced Driver Assist Camera
A standalone ADAS camera (forward collision, lane departure, pedestrian warnings) - the same functions already included in the MC30-02H and ME40-02's bundled AI license via their built-in front camera. Same guidance as the D8 DMS camera above: only relevant as a separate purchase if deploying on hardware that doesn't already include ADAS.

Hero-CAN-01
Quote 17 Jul + PI
CANBUS Library License
A software unlock, not a physical part - it lets the recorder decode a specific vehicle's CANBUS traffic (real speed, RPM, odometer, fuel level, door status, depending on what the vehicle's bus exposes and which manufacturer library Howen has mapped). This overlaps in purpose with the OBD/CANBUS Reader listed under Accessories below - confirm with Howen whether that hardware reader is actually needed on top of this license, or whether the license alone through the recorder's built-in CAN port is sufficient. Buy it for real vehicle telemetry (not just GPS-derived speed) for driving-behavior or fuel-fraud analysis; skip it if GPS location and speed alone covers the requirement.

MDT AT5 V5
Company Presentation 2026
Android Taxi Dispatch Terminal
A rugged Android tablet for taxi dispatch, cashless fare payment, NFC/RFID driver ID, and passenger counting, with OIML/MID certification for fare-metering programs - genuinely useful if the deployment includes taxi-style fare/dispatch operations. It cannot currently be bought, though: Rocket's 27 Jul email confirmed production and quoting are suspended (component shortages, no timeline given). Don't plan around this until Howen lifts the suspension.

Android Dispatch Terminal (alt.)
An alternate, likely older tier of the same dispatch-tablet family as the AT5 V5 above. The production suspension mentioned for the V5 hasn't been separately confirmed for this variant, but given they're the same product line, assume the same restriction applies until Howen says otherwise.

People Counter Module
Company Presentation 2026
Passenger Counting Camera
Passenger counting was explicitly excluded from the dashcam requirements agreed on 19 Jul, and for good reason: Howen's own materials tie passenger counting to the full MDT dispatch-tablet solution (the AT5 series above), not a standalone camera add-on - and that MDT line is currently suspended anyway. Don't pursue this item; it doesn't fit as a simple accessory and the path to it is blocked regardless.

OBD/CANBUS Reader
Company Presentation 2026
Vehicle Diagnostics Reader
A physical device that taps the vehicle's OBD-II/CANBUS port - the hardware counterpart to the CANBUS Library License above (that's the software that decodes what this hardware reads). Ask Howen directly whether the ME40-02's built-in CAN port already covers this, or whether this separate reader is genuinely required in addition to the license; buying both without confirming risks paying twice for the same capability.

Driver/Passenger ID Reader
Identifies a driver (or passenger, for fare payment) by tapping a card or tag - useful if the program wants to log who was driving a given vehicle at a given time, tying footage and events to a specific person rather than just a vehicle. Worth checking whether MOI wants that driver-accountability layer; if not, this is an unnecessary extra.

Panic Button
Company Presentation 2026
Emergency SOS Button
A physical button wired into the recorder's existing SOS input - both the MC30-02H and ME40-02 already have a panic-button input built in per their datasheets, so this is just the button itself, not new capability. Buy it only if officers or drivers actually need a manual panic trigger; if that input would otherwise go unused, there's no reason to add the button.

Fireproof Protective Enclosure
Company Presentation 2026
MDVR Crash-Survivable Housing
A fire-rated box around the recorder itself, so footage can potentially be recovered even if the vehicle burns after a serious crash - the vehicle equivalent of an aircraft's black box. Adds cost and installation complexity for a scenario that's low-probability for most patrol vehicles; a budget and risk-tolerance decision rather than a technical necessity, worth it mainly for higher-risk vehicles or where post-incident evidence assurance really matters.
