1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Full-feature video surveillance in the palm of your hand: The EverFocus EMV200S/EMV400S digital video recorder features a built-in 3-axis G-sensor, an external plugin GPS module for location tracking, and H.264 compression for efficient recording and fast network transmission of recorded data.

The EMV200S supports 2 channels while the EMV400S supports 4 channels. The user can record real-time video and audio on each channel (up to 30/25fps per channel at D1 resolution). This device’s compact size allows easy installation in almost any usage scenario; such as inside a vehicle, fast deployment at a temporary fixed site, or portable battery-powered surveillance.

This DVR provides multiple interfaces, including two USB ports, a wired Ethernet port, IR remote control, 2/4 alarm inputs and 1 SPDT (Form “C”) alarm output. Featuring shock and vibration-resistant terminal block & D-sub connectors, this DVR is rugged enough for reliable operation even when the host vehicle encounters bumpy roads. Add to this a new, easy-to-read GUI that is specially designed for use with portable small-screen monitors, and you get a powerful surveillance solution in a small package.

Additionally, this DVR’s power supply provides surge protection and voltage regulation. It also features SD card recording (only the 32GB SD cards from Transcend and Sandisk have been tested), speed reporting and ‘virtual fencing’ (using the embedded G-sensor and plug-in GPS module), as well as support for control via a hand-held IR remote controller, making it the best choice for applications that require 1~4 channel portable/mobile surveillance.

1.8 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

• Unpack Everything

Make sure you have everything you need before you begin the installation.

• Equipment Required

The following tools may help you to complete the installation:

•Drill

•Screwdrivers

•Wire cutters

• Choosing the Installation Location

Choose a location that:

•Provides convenient access (and leaves enough room) for installing or removing the hard drive

•Allows air to flow around the DVR’s fan vents. Inadequate air flow can impede proper operation of the unit

Avoid any location …

•That is subject to high vibration

•That receives direct sunlight or is subject to solar heating

•That is exposed to rainwater or dampness

•Where passengers can interfere with the unit

•That is near a heater duct

The following table lists the recommended location options.

Bottom of passenger seat next to the driver

Underneath bulkhead-horizontal mount

Front of bulkhead-horizontal mount

Beside deriver seat-horizontal mount

Caution: Do not install the DVR on the floor or on the transmission access hatch. These locations have the highest levels of vibration and may be exposed to water infiltration.

• Fixing the DVR to the Selected Installation Surface

Step 1. Place your EMV200S/EMV400S in the most suitable location in the vehicle. Make sure the screw holes and screw plate are pointing toward the anchoring surface. The anchoring surface must be able to easily support the weight of the DVR.

Step 2. Place your screws in the 4 screw holes and screw them in tight.

Your DVR is now successfully mounted. You can now attach your connection cables and devices.

LCD Monitor

• Installing the Camera(s) and Monitor

The DVR is typically connected to one camera that is installed inside the car. Other cameras can also be installed in different locations in the car (for example, use a waterproof camera on the outside of the vehicle). A typical monitor’s power supply would usually connect to the car’s cigarette-plug adapter. For installation procedures, please refer to the guides that came with the camera(s) and monitor(s) you purchased. The monitor and all cameras must be purchased separately.

LCD Monitor

• Connecting the Camera(s) and a Monitor

Connect the Video Output cable of each camera to a corresponding BNC-Female connector (marked “VIN”) that is attached to the supplied D-Sub harness adapter. Connect the Audio Output cable of each camera to a corresponding RCA-Female connector (marked “AIN”) that is attached to the supplied D-Sub harness adapter. Adjust each camera according to your requirements (usually by hand and via an OSD menu displayed on an attached monitor). The EMV200S/EMV400S gives you the option of attaching one monitor to it. If you want to install a monitor in the vehicle, attach the monitor’s Video and Audio Input cables to the BNC-Female and RCA-Female connectors marked “VOUT” and “AOUT”. You can use this monitor to view all the feeds from your attached cameras – one at a time or simultaneously.

1.9 VIDEO I/O REQUIREMENTS

Cameras and CCTV monitors attached to this DVR must use copper-based 75 Ohm video cable (e.g. RG-59, RG6, or RG-11) with BNC connectors (preferably male, or female via a female-female adapter).

Due to the possibility of impedance mismatch and undesired loss/reflections, 50 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG-58) and 75 ohm foil shield antenna cable and other types of coaxial cable are not compatible.

All connected video sources must provide a 1 Vpp NTSC or PAL video signal.

When converting other transmission types (twisted pair, fiber optics, radio) for the video inputs, be sure to verify accurate receiver calibration and signal levels.

ATTENTION: In order for the system to auto-detect the appropriate video format (NTSC or PAL), make sure that there is a video signal on Video Input 1 (“VIN 1”) upon power-up.

1.10 AUDIO INSTALLATION

This DVR provides 2/4 line level audio inputs (4 in the case of the EMV400S) and 1 line level audio output.

PLEASE NOTE: The direct connection of a non-amplified microphone is not supported (a microphone amplifier is required). The audio output requires an amplifier to drive a speaker or headphones.

The installation must be done with audio coaxial cable and RCA connectors.

AUDIO RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY:

Audio recording is activated / deactivated on a per-camera basis in the DVR’s Camera Menu. Please check and always comply with local laws and regulations when using audio recording.

The audio channel is recorded with the video channel and is independent of the image recording rate. Audio recording is standard and do not require any further setup.
