Setting Up the Equipment
Set Up the Receiver
1. If you are using the receiver as a stand-alone unit, flip out the stand on the back of the receiver
and connect an AC adapter to the power input on the side of the receiver.
If you are using the receiver in the base, insert the receiver into the base and connect an AC
adapter to the input on the back of the base.
2. Connect the other end of the adapter to a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.
3. Press the
POWER
button on the top of the receiver for 2 seconds to power it up.
4. The receiver displays the Uniden
Welcome
screen for a few seconds and then transitions to the
LIVE view.
The screen remains dark until the cameras are powered up.
Mount the Camera Stand
You can mount the camera with the stand on the bottom (on a wall or table-top) or on the top (on
the ceiling). When you are positioning the camera, you might want to bring the receiver 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.
7
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.
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.)
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.

FCC NOTE：
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
