generAl gUidelines
The Uniden Guardian GC43 camera not weatherproof.
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.
5
6
•
•
—
Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.
Optimized motion detection range is 6 - 12 feet for the GC43 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, etc.
moUnt the stAnd
You can mount the camera with the stand on the bottom (on a wall or tabletop) or on the ceiling (the camera mount swivels 360°). When 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.
AttAch the cAmerA
Slide the camera on to the stand swivel mount until it clicks in place.
connect to PoWer
1. 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.
2. 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.
