1PRODUCT 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 plug-
in 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.
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.

Note:
1. If the car is without an ignition key, please connect the IGN (yellow) wire directly or via a switch to the

2. It is suggested to use a relay in the installation. Otherwise, the DVR will always draw the power from the
vehicle battery.

2. It is suggested to use a relay in the installation. Otherwise, the DVR will always draw the power from the
vehicle battery.
•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.

•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.
•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.
