SET UP THE HARDWARE
MONITOR
1.Flip out the stand on the back of the monitor, and position the antenna.
2.Connect an AC adapter to the power input on the side of the monitor. Connect the other end of the adapter to a 120 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 Guardian screen for a few seconds and then transitions to the LIVE view.
The screen remains dark until the cameras are powered up.
CAMERA
General
The UDR744 cameras included with your monitor are weatherproof and have an IP65 rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however, the cameras cannot be submerged.
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.
Placement Considerations
Consider the following when placing cameras:
10
•• 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 6 - 18 feet for the 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 floor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.
•• Rainfall, pool water ripples/reflections, tree/shrub leaves blowing in the wind - and the shadows they create - can generate motion detection false alarms.
INSTALL CAMERAS
When you are positioning the camera, bring the monitor along; it’s much easier to get the camera into the right position when you have the display handy.
1.Position the camera where you want it, plug it into power, and check video on the monitor. Move the camera if the view is not what you want.
2.Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location of the screw holes.
3.Use the included screws and anchors to attach the base to the wall or ceiling.
4.Tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in place.
MONITOR SCREEN
The UDR744 monitor’s screen has 3 main parts:
•• Live View area. The main screen area displays live video from the camera(s).
•• Pop Out Menu Tab. Tap this tab to display 4 menus that let you manage the UDR744 system. See page 18 for details.
•• Icon bars. Icons display on the top and bottom of the monitor screen. See page 14 for icon details.
11
Viewing Modes
The Live View area displays live video from the cameras. Each camera can display in its own section of the screen (quadrant) or on the full screen.
Camera 1 |
|
Camera 2 |
|
|
|
Camera 3 |
Camera 4 |
|
There are 4 viewing modes:
••
••
Quad mode splits the screen’s image area into 4 quadrants and displays active camera video in each quadrant. Tap the center of the quadrant to enter Single Channel mode.
Single Channel mode displays one camera at a time on full screen. Press 
to change between the channels. Tap the center of the image to return to Quad mode.
•• With Scan mode, the monitor’s screen and speakers are off until a camera detects motion. That camera then displays at full screen (sound and video on) until there has been no motion for 15 seconds. After that, the monitor screen turns off again. Press and release POWER to to turn Scan mode on and off.
•• Auto Sequence. Displays each channel automatically in sequence in full screen display. The system defaults to Auto Sequence mode when Scan mode is turned off. Tap SEQ to turn Auto Sequence mode off and return to Quad mode..
UDR744 OPERATION
Your UDR744 monitor operates through a series of screens that let you choose groups of operations. For example, when you tap PLAYBACK in the pop-up menus, you can view recorded
12
files. Tapping GENERAL SETTINGS lets you set up how your system will operate (i.e., camera setup, recording schedule, motion detection sensitivity, etc.).
LIVE VIEW SCREEN
The Live View screen is the monitor’s main screen that displays video from your camera(s). You can have the system display a single camera or you can set the screen to display all of them. You can also set the screen to cycle between all live video feeds. Tap the icon to change the Live screen video displays.
The UDR744 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 record in Quad, Single, or auto sequence mode.
UDR744 LIVE SCREEN ICONS
Different icons display on the monitor screen depending on what is going on with your cameras. This image shows an example of what could be on your screen (the video image is removed to make it easier to see the icons). A table follows of possible icons and their definitions.
