8Microphone: Transmit audio to monitor.

SET UP THE HARDWARE

MONITOR

1. Flip out the stand on the back of the monitor and position the antennas.
2. Connect the 5V AC adapter to the power input on the rear of the monitor. Connect the other end of the adapter to a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.

The monitor comes with a partial charge. Plug it in and let it charge for a full 8 - 9 hours before using it.

1. Press and hold the POWER button on the top of the monitor for 3 - 4 seconds to power it up.

2. 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 UDRC58HD 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:

- 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.

The monitor's battery will last about 2 hours on its own.

1. Install the antennas (if needed), 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 UDR780HD 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 UDR780HD system. See page 17 for details.
• Icon bars. Icons display on the top and bottom of the monitor screen. See page 13 for icon details.

Viewing Modes

The Live View area displays live video from the cameras. Each camera can display in its own section of the screen or on the full screen. The number of cameras that display depends on how many cameras are turned on (see page 24).

There are 3 viewing modes:

• Multi-Channel mode (Dual or Quad).

If you have 2 cameras turned on, video displays in Dual mode.

If you have 3 or 4 cameras cameras turned on, video displays in Quad mode.

DUAL MODE QUAD MODE

- Single Channel mode displays one camera at a time on full screen. From Dual or Quad channel mode, tap the center of a channel's screen to display that channel in full screen. Press to change between the channels. Tap the center of the image to return to the previous mode.

Channel Cycling Modes

There are two ways to cycle between channels - Scan and Auto Sequence.

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. Quickly press and release POWER to turn Scan mode on and off.

In Auto Sequence mode, each channel displays automatically in sequence in full screen. Access this mode from Single channel mode. Tap ☐ to turn on Auto Sequence mode; SEQ displays. Tap SEQ to turn it off and return to Dual mode.

Pairing

Your cameras are paired to the monitor at the factory to channels 1 and 2. When you add a new camera to your system, you have to "introduce" the camera and monitor to each other so they can communicate.

You can also use this procedure to add an accessory camera or to move a camera from one channel to a different channel.

Some things to know about pairing cameras:

• If a camera is already assigned to the selected channel, the pairing operation 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.

Tap the following icons as they appear on the screens:

1. When playback ends, tap to return to the Recording File List.

ADDING NEW CAMERAS

Your monitor supports a total of four active cameras at a time; your UDR780HD comes with two cameras already paired to your monitor. When you add a camera, you have to pair it to the monitor (that is, you have to "introduce" the camera and monitor to each other so they can communicate).

- If a camera is already assigned to the channel you want to assign the new camera to, the monitor overwrites the existing 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.

PAIR CAMERAS

1. From the Pairing Camera screen (see "Pairing" on page 23), tap the camera image you want to pair. A processing icon displays for a 30 second countdown.
2. During the 30 second countdown, quickly press and release the Pairing button on that camera (see "Pairing" on page 23).
3. The system automatically adjusts the Live View screen accordingly.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM

UPGRADING YOUR UDR780HD MONITOR FIRMWARE

We are ready to help you upgrade your monitor firmware if necessary. Go to www.uniden.com and search for the UDR780HD product page. Follow the instructions there.

CAUTION: The monitor MUST be plugged into AC power before you begin the upgrade. If it is not, the monitor will freeze and must be reset (see page 47).

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HARDWARE

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.

MANAGING RECORDED FILES

Over time, your SD card will fill up with recorded files. If there are files you need to keep, transfer them to your computer for storage and remote viewing. Otherwise, reformat your SD card every 4 to 6 weeks (see page 32).

COPYING FILES FROM THE SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER

1. Remove the SD card from the monitor. Insert it into the SD card adapter (included).
2. Insert it into your computer's SD card slot.
3. Navigate to the SD card and locate your files.
4. Copy them to the computer. These files can now be deleted from the SD card or the SD card can be formatted.
