Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reect 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/reections, 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.
10
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 specic 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 dierence between the two
systems is the physical size of the monitor/receiver and how you extend the antenna.

Changing How the Live Screen Displays
The Live screen displays in 2 views - Quad View or Full View. Quad View divides the screen’s image
area into 4 quadrants and displays camera video in each quadrant. If less than 4 cameras are on,
only those cameras’ video will display on the Live screen.
Full view displays a single camera’s video on the entire screen. If you are in Quad View, tap on the
camera quadrant you want to expand to Full View. Tap on that image to return to Quad View.
Using the Pentazoom™ Feature
While in any camera’s full screen view, selecting the + icon on the right side of the screen enables
the PentaZoom feature. PentaZoom lets you select from 5 sections of the video image. Tap on a
section and it will digitally zoom to full screen. Tap on the video to return to full screen mode or to
go back to the PentaZoom screen, tap .
