Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reect light from the infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft cloth.
The G Series outdoor camera is weatherproof and has an IP66 rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however, the cameras cannot be submerged underwater.
Although the outdoor 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 lowering the quality of the video.
The G Series indoor camera is not weatherproof.
General Guidelines
Mount the Camera Stand
The screen remains dark until the cameras are powered up.
SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT
Set Up the Monitor
1. If you are using the Monitor as a stand-alone unit, flip out the stand on the back of the Monitor, and extend the antenna. Connect an AC adaptor to the power input on the side of the Monitor. If you are using the Monitor in the cradle, insert the Monitor into the cradle and connect an AC adaptor to the input on the back of the cradle.
2. Connect the other end of the adaptor to a 240 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.
3. Press and hold the
POWER
button on the top of the Monitor for 3 - 4 seconds to power it up.
4. The Monitor displays the Uniden
Welcome
screen for a few seconds and then transitions to the
LIVE view.

Placement Considerations
Consider the following when placing cameras:
• The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and monitor is best.
Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.
Placement next to windows allows better transmission.
• Optimized motion detection range is 1.8 - 5.5 metres for the outdoor camera. The farther away an object is, the less accurate the motion detection.
• Avoid having a direct light source in the view of the camera, including street lights, ceiling or oor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.
• Rainfall, pool water ripples/reections, tree/shrub leaves blowing in the wind - and the shadows they create - can generate motion detection false alarms.
You can mount the outdoor camera with the stand on the bottom (on a wall or table-top) or on the top (on the ceiling). The indoor camera can be mounted with the stand on any at surface. 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.
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.
3. Before attaching the camera, tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in place.

Attach The Outdoor Camera
If necessary, connect the extension cord to the camera’s pigtail and con­nect the AC adaptor to the extension cord.
Be sure the power plug and the con­nector are tightly twisted together to avoid water leaking in. Make sure the Power status light turns on. If it doesn’t, try reconnecting the AC adaptor, and make sure the power outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.
You should now have video on your Live screen.

Your Monitor’s G Series software operates through a series of screens that let you choose groups of operations. For example, when you tap on the camera icon in the Pop-up menus, you can set how you want the main viewing screen - called the Live screen - to display images from the paired cameras. You can scan between cameras, show all cameras on a single screen (Quad view), or only display a specic camera.
The Live screen lets you view the camera transmissions. It also lets you set up your screen display and make adjustments to it. Icons on the screen itself let you monitor power and camera status.
The G Series system always defaults to the Live screen in Quad mode after being idle for 2 minutes while in any other system screen. This default ensures that the system is ready to re­cord video even if you forget to return to the Live screen. The system can only start a record­ing while in Live screen mode. The operation of the G24 or G27 monitor is identical. The only dierence between the two systems is the physical size of the monitor/receiver and how you extend the antenna.

The Motion Detection default setting is Low. The system records for 2 minutes when motion is detected.
Email Alert
The G Series system can notify you when it detects motion from any camera by sending you an e-mail alert. The email alert contains information such as, the time that motion was detected and by which camera. In order to enable the G Series system, you must enter both incoming and outgoing email addresses.
Uniden recommends you set up and use Gmail as the outgoing mail server.
The outgoing email server (SMTP server) is responsible for sending out the email notication to tell users when the G Series system detects motion from any camera (Motion Detection must be acti­vated).
The incoming mail server (Email To) receives the email notication sent from the SMTP server. The user must be able to receive email on Windows PC or on mobile devices (such as iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet) to receive e-mail alerts from the G Series system.
When you receive an email alert, you can view live video from your Windows PC, an iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone or Andriod tablet through apps. Free apps are available through the iTunes App store or the Android Market.

G Series lets you view live video from your Windows® PC, an iPhone®, iPad®, or Android® smart­phone or tablet. Free apps are available through the iTunes® App Store or the Android Market.
This system uses P2P remote access technology and does not require conguring your router, port forwarding or a remote DDNS service.
You must set up a free portal account to remotely view your system. Multiple users can access live video at the same time as long as they have the User ID (DID) code and security code.
The number of remote viewers is determined by the amount of “available upload band­width” on your home network. Each remote viewer requires ~350kbps of bandwidth on the network.
Overview
The G Series cradle charges your monitor as well as provides an internet connection. When you are connected to the internet, live video will not display on the monitor.
For this procedure, the AC adaptor must be connected to the cradle and not to the monitor. Reconnect the AC adaptor if necessary.
• Microsoft® Windows XP, Vista, or 7
• Internet Explorer® 8 or greater.
• iPhone® 3GS or above, or
• iPad® or

For example your smart phone or tablet is connected to your home net­work via WiFi. In this case, live video will still be displayed on the monitor as well as on the smart phone or tablet.

Go to www.unidenvideo.com to check the current rmware level. Compare it to your system rmware level. If you need to update your G Series rmware, download the most current rmware version to your system’s SD card and then upload that rmware to the Monitor.
1. Eject the SD card from the Monitor.
2. Insert the SD card into your PC.
3. Go to www.unidenvideo.com.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HARDWARE
Monitor
As you use your monitor keep the screen clean by wiping it with a microbre cloth to remove n­gerprints, dust, etc.
Cameras
When dust and grime builds up on the camera lens and glass, it aects night vision capability. The infrared light reects o of the dust and grime, limiting the camera’s “vision.” Use a microbre cloth to regularly clean the cameras or when night vision video is cloudy or unclear.
