set up the monitor  
1. Flip out the stand on the back of the monitor, and extend the antenna. 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.  
2. Press and hold the PoWer button on the top of the monitor for 3 - 4 seconds to power it up.  
3. The monitor 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  
General Guidelines  
The Uniden Guardian GC45 cameras included with your monitor are weatherproof and have an  
IP66 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 GC45 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.  
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 monitor 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.

unIDen GuarDIan soFtWare oPeratIon oVerVIeW  
Your monitor’s Uniden Guardian software operates through a series of screens that let you choose  
groups of operations. For example, when you tap on the camera icon in the Pop-up menus, you  
can set how you want the main viewing screen - called the Live screen - to display images from the  
paired cameras. You can scan between cameras, show all cameras on a single screen (Quad view),  
or only display a specific camera.  
The Live screen lets you view the camera transmissions. It also lets you set up your screen display  
and make adjustments to it. Icons on the screen itself let you monitor power and camera status.  
The Uniden Guardian 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 only  
start a recording while in Live screen mode.

Changing How the Live screen Displays  
The Live screen displays in 2 views - Quad view or Full view. Quad view divides the screen’s image  
area into 4 quadrants and displays camera video in each quadrant. If less than 4 cameras are on,  
only those cameras’ video will display on the Live screen.  
Full view displays a single camera’s video on the entire screen. If you are in Quad view, tap on the  
camera quadrant you want to expand to Full view. Tap on that image to return to Quad view.  
using the PentaZoom™ Feature  
While in any camera’s full screen view, selecting the + icon on the right side of the screen enables  
the PentaZoom feature. PentaZoom lets you select from 5 sections of the video image. Tap on a  
section and it will digitally zoom to full screen. Tap on the screen to return to full screen mode or, to  
go back to the PentaZoom screen, tap

adding new Cameras  
Your monitor supports a total of four active cameras at  
a time. 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).  
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.  
Pair Camera  
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 60 second countdown.  
2. During the 60 second countdown, quickly press and release the Pairing button on that  
camera’s power cord (see ”Pairing” on page 23).  
3. The system automatically adjusts the Camera On screen accordingly.

email alert  
The Uniden Guardian system can notify you when it detects motion from any camera by sending  
you an e-mail alert. The e-mail alert contains information such as the time that motion was  
detected and by which camera. In order to enable the Uniden Guardian system, you must enter  
both incoming and outgoing email addresses.  
Uniden recommends you use Gmail to set up as the outgoing email server.  
The outgoing email server (smTP server) is responsible for sending out the email notification to tell  
users when the Uniden Guardian system detects motion from any camera (motion Detection must  
be activated).  
The incoming mail server (email To) receives the email notification sent from the smTP server. The  
user must be able to receive email on a Windows PC or on mobile devices (such as an iPhone, iPad,  
or Android smartphone or tablet) to receive e-mail alerts from the Uniden Guardian system.  
When you receive an email alert, you can view live video from your Windows PC, an iPhone, iPad,  
Android smartphone or Android tablet through apps. Free apps are available through the Apple  
App store or the Android market.
