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.

• 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.

Attach the camera

Loosen the wingnut to unlock the mounting post.

Attach the camera

1. For each camera, attach the camera bracket to the mounting screw. You can attach the stand to the top or the bottom of the camera as needed.Tighten it a few turns, then turn the camera to face the direction you want.

2. Tighten the camera brace up against the camera to secure it into place.

post is locked into place.

5. Attach the antenna to the rear of the camera.

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.

7. Make sure the

light turns on. If it doesn’t, try reconnecting the AC adapter, and

make sure the power outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.

Set Up the Monitor

1. Remove the protective plastic from the monitor screen.

2. Flip out the stand on the back of the monitor and extend the antenna.

3. Connect an AC adapter to the power input on the side of the monitor.

4. Connect the other end of the adapter to a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.

5. Press and hold the

button on the top of the monitor for 1 - 2 seconds to power it up.

If... Try this... there is no camera picture Verify that the power supply adapter for the camera(s) is plugged in. the picture quality is poor Clean the camera lens. a white image appears at

night

The camera’s infra-red LED shines invisible light that reflects off surfaces such as glass, causing white light. Place the camera on the other side of windows with the lens flush against the surface to improve the night vision, or place the camera in a well-lit area.

6. The monitor displays the Uniden title

screen and then displays the LIVE view.

7. After the system powers on, adjust the camera viewing position if needed.

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.

SPECIAL FEATURES

This section provides Remote Access requirements and software installation, setup, and usage procedures for accessing your live feeds from a number of wired and wireless devices. It also provides information on other special features such as:

• Recording video and taking pictures through the Portal account

• Viewing live video on TV

• Playing back recorded files on a PC

REMOTE ACCESS

The Uniden USD655 let you view live video from your system on your television or PC (home or remote) or on wireless devices such as an iPhone®, iPad®, or AndroidTM smartphone or tablet. A free Uniden Guardian app is available through the iTunes® App Store or the Android Market. You can also view your recorded video files on any PC with Uniden Media Player installed.

The Uniden Remote System software CD in your kit provides the software you need to install. You will also need to set up a Uniden Portal account. Multiple user accounts on your PC can access live video on their accounts through the Portal account as long as they have the Device ID (DID) code and security code to log in and you have specified that the Portal can provide access to multiple users on that PC when you set up the account.

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.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HARDWARE

Monitor

As you use your monitor keep the screen clean by wiping it with a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.

Cameras

When dust and grime builds up on the camera lens and glass, it affects night vision capability. The infrared light reflects off of the dust and grime, limiting the camera’s “vision.” Use a microfiber cloth to regularly clean the cameras or when night vision video is cloudy or unclear.

If you have any trouble with your system, try these simple steps. If you are still having a problem with your camera, check the manual that came with your camera.
