6SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENTSet Up the CameraGeneral Placement GuidelinesThe 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.
7 •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 BaseThe following tools are required: •Electric Drill •5mm Drill Bit •15mm Drill Bit •No. 2 Philips Screwdriver1. 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.
8Attach the camera1. 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.3. Unlock the mounting post by turning the wingnut to the left a few turns.4. Set the mounting post to the correct angle, then tighten the wingnut until the 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 Power status 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 Monitor1. 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. 1243Loosen the wingnut to unlock the mounting post.Attach the camera to the mounting screw and turn it to the desired direction.Adjust the post to the correct angle, then tighten the wingnut to lock the post into place.Tighten the brace against the camera tosecure itin place.
94. Connect the other end of the adapter to a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.5. Press and hold the POWER 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 nightThe 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.PAIRING ACCESSORY CAMERAS TO THE MONITORThe two cameras that come with your UDS655 are paired to your monitor at the factory.
