SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT
Set Up the Camera
General Placement Guidelines
The Uniden UDSC15 cameras included with your monitor are weatherproof and have an IP66
weather rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however, the cameras
cannot be submerged underwater.
Although the cameras can be exposed directly to the rain, it is recommended that, if they are used
outdoors, they be mounted under some type of cover like a patio overhang or eave. As rainwater
drops start to dry on the camera glass, it can create spots that will reflect the light from the infrared
LEDs used for night vision, thus causing lower quality video.
Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reflect light from the
infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft cloth.
Consider the following when placing cameras:
•Clear line of sight video transmission distance is up to 500 ft.
— Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.
— Placement next to windows allows better transmission.
•Avoid having a direct light source in the view of the camera, including street lights, ceiling or
floor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.
•The cameras are equipped with built-in infra-red LEDs so you can use night vision for 24-hour
surveillance. The LEDs will automatically activate at night and the picture viewed will turn to
black and white. The night viewing range is up to 40 ft. Avoid pointing the camera lens directly
at clear glass; the night vision LEDs will cause a blurred image.
•Optimized motion detection range is 6 - 18 feet for the UDSC15 camera. The farther away an
object is, the less accurate the motion detection.
6
Page 7
•Avoid pointing the camera directly at any bushes, tree branches, or moving objects that might
naturally move due to winds. Otherwise, the motion detection feature may record unnecessarily.
You can mount the camera with the stand on the bottom (on a flat surface such as a table-top), on
the side (on a wall), or on the top (on the ceiling). When you are positioning the camera, you might
want to bring the monitor along; it’s much easier to get the camera into the right position when
you have the display handy.
Mount the Camera Base
The following tools are required:
•Electric Drill
•5mm Drill Bit
•15mm Drill Bit
•No. 2 Philips Screwdriver
1. Hold the base of the camera stand where you want
to mount it and mark the location of the screw
holes.
2. Use the included screws and anchors to attach the
base to the wall or ceiling. You can also screw the
base into a flat surface such as a tabletop if needed.
3. Before attaching the camera, tug gently on the
stand to make sure it is securely in place.

6. Connect one end of an AC adapter to the camera’s power pigtail and plug the other end into
a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet. (If necessary, connect the extension cord to the
camera’s pigtail and connect the AC adapter to the extension cord.)
Be sure the power plug and the connector are tightly twisted together to avoid water
leaking in.

The camera’s infra-red LED shines invisible light that reflects off

Pair a New Device
Your cameras are paired to the monitor at the factory to channels 1 and 2. You can add up to 2
more accessory cameras to your system; see our website at www.uniden.com for more information
on how to buy accessory cameras for this system. When you add an accessory camera, you
have to pair it to the monitor (that is, you have “introduce” the camera and monitor so they can
communicate).
Some things to know about pairing cameras:
•If a camera is already assigned to the selected channel, the monitor overwrites that camera link
with the new one.
•Only pair one camera at a time! The monitor links to the first camera it detects. If two or more
cameras are in pairing mode, you can’t control which camera the monitor will detect first.
