GPSMAP® 8412xsv - 12" GPS-sounder combo

The GPSMAP 8412xsv can integrate third-party and Garmin network cameras, providing superior video monitoring. You can view the video on all chartplotter screens on your boat or multiple video streams on a single combined display. It supports touch gestures to control the camera, such as pinch to zoom and swipe to pan and tilt. Current GPSMAP chartplotters, including the 8412xsv, feature built-in video encoding and will share connected video via their composite video input across all screens on the boat.

Yes, the GPSMAP 8412xsv is compatible with FLIR marine cameras, including the M and MD series. FLIR cameras are automatically detected by the network and displayed in the source list without prior configuration. For FLIR dual-payload models, composite video cables for V/IR and IR-only are available, allowing switching between daytime and infrared video.

For flush-mount installation of the GPSMAP 8412xsv, the required cutout is 254.0 mm (10 inches) wide by 199.9 mm (7 7/8 inches) high. It is strongly recommended to use the template provided in the product box to ensure precise cutting, as Garmin is not liable for damage resulting from incorrect cutting.

Yes, a Garmin Power over Ethernet (PoE) isolation coupler (part number 010-10580-10) must be used to connect standard Ethernet equipment, such as a network camera, network switch, or PoE injector, to a Garmin marine network. Directly connecting a PoE device to a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter will damage the chartplotter and potentially the PoE device.

Yes, the GPSMAP 8412xsv supports camera tracking functions. These include:

Compass Lock: keeps the camera fixed on a specific heading.Vessel Lock: locks the camera at a fixed angle relative to the boat.Target tracking: allows tracking of AIS targets, MARPA targets, or waypoints (slew-to-cue).To use these functions, specific sensors and cameras must be connected to the chartplotter via a Garmin marine network or an NMEA 2000 network, such as a marine camera compatible with tracking, a GPS antenna, and a heading sensor. For AIS/MARPA tracking, a compatible AIS receiver or compatible radar device is also required.

You can update the GPSMAP 8412xsv software in two main ways:

Via the ActiveCaptain® app: For detailed instructions, refer to the owner's manual.Via an SD card: Insert a 16 to 32 GB SD card formatted as FAT32 into your computer, use Garmin Express™ to copy the update file, then insert the card into the chartplotter after powering it on. Select "Update Software" and wait for the process to complete.It is recommended to ensure the system software is up to date before any service intervention.

Yes, the GPSMAP 8412xsv is compatible with NMEA 2000 networks. It is possible to test the NMEA 2000 functionality via the device's test mode to verify proper communication with other devices connected to this network.

For a flush-mount installation of the GPSMAP 8412xsv, it is strongly recommended to use the mounting template provided in the product box. If you must print a template, you must follow Garmin’s instructions precisely, including selecting 'None' for page scaling and ensuring the paper format is larger than the template. Garmin disclaims any liability for damage or expenses resulting from incorrect cutting of the mounting surface due to failure to follow these instructions.

The GPSMAP 8412xsv is compatible with a variety of marine cameras. It supports integration with third-party network cameras, as well as FLIR cameras from the M and MD series. Analog or composite cameras, such as the Garmin GC™ 14 (010-02667-00), and network cameras like the Garmin GC™ 200 (010-02164-00), can also be connected. FLIR IP cameras are generally 'plug-and-play' on the Garmin marine network.

To connect standard Ethernet devices, such as a network camera, network switch, or PoE injector, to a Garmin marine network, you must use a Garmin Power over Ethernet (PoE) isolation coupler (reference 010-10580-10). Directly connecting a PoE device to a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter will damage the chartplotter and potentially the PoE device. It is recommended to use a shielded cable, such as a CAT 5e F/FTP, for enhanced protection.

Yes, the GPSMAP 8412xsv is designed to be compatible with NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and J1939 networks. The service manual specifically mentions test procedures for these ports, confirming their integration and functionality with the device.

Yes, the GPSMAP 8412xsv includes Wi-Fi and ANT capabilities. The service manual includes dedicated sections for testing these features, indicating their presence and support on the device for wireless connectivity.

If your camera does not appear in the video sources menu after installation, several checks are required. Ensure the camera’s power supply is connected and the circuit breakers are correctly set. Verify that the Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter is powered on and that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to your chartplotter. Confirm that your router and switches are powered on and operational. Finally, ensure the camera itself is working correctly (refer to its user manual) and is compatible with Garmin systems.

If you experience issues controlling your FLIR camera from the GPSMAP 8412xsv, first verify that the correct video input source on the chartplotter is linked to the FLIR camera. Also ensure you selected the proper camera during the initial pairing with the chartplotter. These steps are critical to establish communication and control between the chartplotter and the camera.

If your GPSMAP 8412xsv chartplotter displays a message indicating it cannot connect to your camera, this is often due to a password issue. The chartplotter may attempt to access the camera using a default password. If the passwords do not match, the connection fails. In this case, you must reset your camera's password to its factory default settings. Refer to your camera manufacturer's instructions for how to perform this reset.

The GPSMAP 8412xsv can be configured to display multiple video sources. However, if your device has multiple built-in composite video inputs, only one video function within a screen combination can use a built-in composite video input. To display multiple simultaneous video streams from network cameras, it is recommended to connect them via the Garmin Marine Network, optionally with a multi-port PoE switch and isolation couplers.
