MOUNT THE CAMERA STAND
GENERAL GUIDELINES
The Uniden Guardian GC45 and GC45W cameras are weatherproof and have an
IP66 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.
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.
