UDC 360 POWER UP

OPERATION AND SUPPORT PUBLICATION

• The UDC 360 Under Door Camera is powered by four 3Volt Photo Lithium batteries. Most manufacturers of these
cells designate them as size 123 or CR123A. Tactical Electronics systems draw high current; use only GE SANYO,
ENERGIZER, or DURACELL batteries. Testing has proven those batteries to provide the longest run time in our
products.

• Run times will vary, components in this system are designed to optimize power management and power sharing
when hard-wired together. Usage of IR LEDs will also contribute to varied run times.

• The diagrams below demonstrate proper battery installation and power-up for the UDC 360 Under Door Camera.

» Battery Compartment & Power-Up Procedure:

The UDC 360 (left) requires four 3V Lithium batteries for
operation. Use the battery orientation diagram adhered to the
UDC 360 for reference.

NOTE: For SD card recording, ensure the SD card is inserted
before powering ON the UDC 360.

The power switch for the UDC 360 is a push button located on
the side of the unit. The picture (left) identifies the UDC 360
power button. Fully depress the power button to power ON and
OFF the UDC 360.

* Always remove batteries when not in use

Immediately after the UDC 360 is powered ON the LED indicator
will illuminate a solid blue for approximately 8-10 seconds while
the system initializes. Once the power-up phase is complete
the LED indicator will illuminate a solid green indicating full
operational use (If no SD card is inserted, the LED indicator
will flash red).

Tactical Electronics & Military Supply

NOTE: When the UDC 360 is powered ON all IR LEDS are
powered OFF by default.

To power OFF the UDC 360, hold down the power button for 3
seconds to begin power down cycle - when the LED illuminates
blue release the power button and the unit will power OFF
within 5 seconds.

NOTE: DO NOT open the battery door before powering OFF the
UDC 360. Failure to properly power OFF the unit will result in
loss of recorded files.

» Battery Life Indicator:

The LED power indicator will flash red and green to indicate low
battery power.

As battery life continues to diminish the LED indicator will
illuminate solid red. After the LED illuminates solid red the
unit will shut down within 10 minutes.

LED indicators

When battery life is critical the LED indicator will illuminate
solid blue. Once this occurs the UDC 360 will only remain
ON for 10-15 seconds while the system shuts down to protect
recorded video on the SD card.

» Operation:

The UDC 360 Under Door Camera is shown (left) in proper
operating position on a flat surface as if it were being slid under
a do o r.

» Insertion Panel:

The distal tip of the UDC 360 houses both the forward and
upward camera lenses, the IR flood illuminator, and the
microphone. The 0.005 lux camera chip is located in the tip of
the insertion panel and slides into the room when the panel is
placed underneath a door.

The unit's IR flood illuminator is mounted on the insertion panel
for enhanced viewing in low-light situations.

» IR LED Modes:

The UDC 360 provides two stages of IR illumination. By default
IR flood illuminator is powered OFF upon every power up of the
UDC 360.

To power ON the IR flood illuminator depress the "IR" button
(shown left). The current state of the IR flood illuminator will be
displayed on the monitor screen.

Remote toggle of IR flood illuminator: Depress the "IR" button
on the Wrist Mounted Monitor Pro or the Handheld Monitor Pro
to remotely turn OFF and ON the IR flood illuminator.

NOTE: Use of the IR LEDs directly affects the battery life of the

unit.

Tactical Electronics & Military Supply

NOTE: The UDC 360 body will become quite warm during use,

especially while using the IR flood illuminator is ON. This is
normal.

» Wireless Transmission:

Wireless operation of the UDC 360 is very simple. Follow proper
UDC 360 power-up procedure and the unit will automatically
transmit wireless video signals.

Once the UDC 360 is powered ON, the unit immediately begins
transmission of an RF video signal. When a monitor is powered
ON the monitor begins receiving the video signal from the UDC

360. Cycle through the channels on the monitor until a picture
is displayed.

» Hard-Wire Transmission:

The 0.25 inch jack (shown left) is used for hard-wire operation
between the UDC 360 and the Handheld Monitor. Simply power
ON both the UDC 360 and Handheld Monitor, then insert the
male/male cable into the 0.25in jacks on each unit. Hard-wire
operation disables the wireless signal.

0.25in jack

Outgoing channel selector

» Channel Selector:

To determine which channel the UDC 360 is transmitting,
simply power ON both the UDC 360 and monitor. Use the
channel selector button(s) on the monitor to cycle through each
channel until a picture is displayed on screen.

• Shown left is the UDC 360 Outgoing Channel selector.

The UDC 360 will only transmit on channels 1-4. If a channel
outside this range is selected the UDC 360 will not transmit.
Hard-wire, recording, and IR LED functionality will remain
operational.

» Quad View Camera Selection:

The UDC 360 4-Camera System contains four light sensitive
B/W cameras that provide forward, upward, left, and right
camera views. The forward camera angle provides a forward
view of a room's interior. The upward camera angle provides
a view of the interior side of a door. The left and right camera
angles provide left and right views of a room's interior. All four
cameras are housed within the unit's insertion panel.

Manual toggle of camera views: Depress the "Camera" button
(located on the side of the UDC 360) to manually toggle
between the forward, upward, left, and right camera views.

Remote toggle of camera views: Depress the "Camera" button
on the Wrist Mounted Monitor Pro or the Handheld Monitor
Pro to remotely toggle between forward, upward, left, and right
camera views.

Remote toggle of IR flood illuminator: Depress the "IR" button
on the Wirst Mounted Monitor Pro or the Handheld Monitor Pro
to remotely turn OFF and ON the IR flood illuminator.

Push Pole attachment

» Telescoping Push Pole Attachment:

The UDC 360 supports a Telescoping Push Pole. The Push Pole
is designed with a magnetic ball attachment, located at the end
of the pole.

To attach the Push Pole to the UDC 360 simply place the
magnetic ball onto the mount located on top of the UDC 360.
Once the Push Pole is attached the user is capable of placing
the UDC 360 on target and maneuver via the Push Pole.

To detach the Push Pole from the UDC 360, rotate the pole
until the steal pin at the end of the pole pushes away from the
unit and releases from the magnetic mount.

» SD Card Recording:

Insert the SD card into the SD card slot with the UDC 360
powered OFF. DO NOT insert or eject the SD card with the
UDC 360 powered ON; otherwise, recorded video files will not
finalize and will become corrupted.

Immediately after the UDC 360 is powered ON, the LED
indicator will illuminate a solid blue for approximately 2-5
seconds while the system initializes. Once the power-up phase
is complete the LED indicator will illuminate a solid green
indicating operational use and proper SD card recording.

If the UDC 360 system indicates a recording error, “REC
ERROR” will display on the monitor(s) in use. If “REC ERROR”
is displayed, power OFF the UDC 360, reinsert the SD card,
and power ON the unit.

The UDC 360 will transmit video without the use of SD card
recording. If the unit is powered ON without an SD card
inserted "REC ERROR" will be displayed on the monitor(s) in
use. The LED indicator on the UDC 360 will also flash red to
indicate no SD card present.

* Push in SD Card to eject

» SD Card Viewing:

To review recorded video files: Power OFF the UDC 360, eject
the SD card, and insert the SD card into an SD card reader on
a co mputer.

All files will be under the folder DCIM\100Media on the SD card.
Recorded files will be listed sequentially in numerical order.
All recorded video files are AVI files, and are easily viewed in
Windows Media Player or VideoLan's VLC Player. AVI files may
also be viewed in QuickTime with the appropriate plug-in.

» Audio:

The UDC 360 houses an omnidirectional microphone and
records audio and video directly to the SD card for post
operational review.

MONITOR OPTIONS

OPERATION AND SUPPORT PUBLICATION

• Tactical Electronics video systems are designed to operate interchangeably with each wireless monitor: Wrist Mounted
Monitor (WMM), Handheld Monitor (HHM), Monocular Micro Viewer (MMV), Heads-Up Display (HUD), Wrist Mounted
Monitor Pro (WMM Pro), or Handheld Monitor Pro (HHM Pro).

• Each monitor is programmed to receive a frequency transmitted directly from the purchased camera system. If multiple
camera systems are in use, the monitors are equipped to receive separate channel frequencies in order to view and
cycle between various Tactical Electronics camera systems.
