Tactical Electronics & Military Supply

* Always remove batteries when not in use

• The UDC Under Door Camera is powered by four 3Volt Photo Lithium batteries. Most manufacturers of these cells designate them as size 123 or CR123A. Tactical Electronics systems draw high current; use only GE SANYO, ENERGIZER, or DURACELL batteries. Testing has proven those batteries to provide the longest run time in our products.

• Run times will vary, components in this system are designed to optimize power management and power sharing when hard-wired together. Usage of IR LEDs will also contribute to varied run times.

• The diagrams below demonstrate proper battery installation and power-up for the UDC Under Door Camera.

» Battery Life Indicator:

The LED power indicator will flash red and green to indicate low battery power.

As battery life continues to diminish the LED indicator will illuminate solid red. After the LED illuminates solid red the unit will shut down within 10 minutes.

When battery life is critical the LED indicator will illuminate solid blue. Once this occurs the UDC will only remain ON for 10-15 seconds while the system shuts down to protect recorded video on the SD card.

» Battery Compartment & Power-Up Procedure:

The UDC (left) requires four 3V Lithium batteries for power up. Use the battery orientation diagram adhered to the UDC for reference.

NOTE: For SD card recording, ensure the SD card is inserted before powering ON the UDC.

The power switch for the UDC is a push button located on the side of the unit. The picture (left) identifies the UDC power button. Fully depress the power button to power ON and OFF the UDC.

Immediately after the UDC is powered ON the LED indicator will illuminate a solid blue for approximately 8-10 seconds while the system initializes. Once the power-up phase is complete the LED indicator will illuminate a solid green indicating full operational use (If no SD card is inserted, the LED indicator will flash red).

NOTE: When the UDC is powered ON all IR LEDS are powered OFF by default.

To power OFF the UDC, hold down the power button for 3 seconds to begin power down cycle - when the LED illuminates blue release the power button and the unit will power OFF within 5 seconds.

NOTE: DO NOT open the battery door before powering OFF the UDC. Failure to properly power OFF the unit will result in loss of recorded files.

» IR LED Modes:

The UDC provides four stages of IR illumination. By default all IR LEDs are powered OFF upon every power up of the UDC.

To cycle through the IR LED modes depress the IR LED button (shown left). The current state of the IR LEDs will be displayed on the monitor screen. The IR LED modes cycle through the following order: NO IR - Forward IR - Flood IR - Both IR

NOTE: Use of the IR LEDs directly affects the battery life of the unit.

NOTE: The UDC body will become quite warm during use, especially while using the IR LEDs. This is normal.

Outgoing channel selector

0.25in jack

» Hard-Wire Transmission:

The 0.25 inch jack (shown left) is used for hard-wire operation between the UDC and the Handheld Monitor. Simply power ON both the UDC and Handheld Monitor, then insert the male/male cable into the 0.25in jacks on each unit. Hard-wire operation disables the wireless signal.

» Wireless Transmission:

Wireless operation of the UDC is very simple. Follow proper UDC power-up procedure and the unit will automatically transmit wireless video signals.

Once the UDC is powered ON, the unit immediately begins transmission of an RF video signal. When a monitor is powered ON the monitor begins receiving the video signal from the UDC. Cycle through the channels on the monitor until a picture is displayed.

» Channel Selector:

To determine which channel the UDC is transmitting, simply power ON both the UDC and monitor. Use the channel selector button(s) on the monitor to cycle through each channel until a picture is displayed on screen.

• Shown left is the UDC Outgoing Channel selector.

The UDC will only transmit on channels 1-4. If a channel outside this range is selected the UDC will not transmit. Hard-wire, recording, and IR LED functionality will remain operational.



Wrist Mounted Monitor



» SD Card Recording:

Insert the SD card into the SD card slot with the UDC powered OFF. DO NOT insert or eject the SD card with the UDC powered ON; otherwise, recorded video files will not finalize and will become corrupted.

Immediately after the UDC is powered ON, the LED indicator will illuminate a solid blue for approximately 2-5 seconds while the system initializes. Once the power-up phase is complete the LED indicator will illuminate a solid green indicating operational use and proper SD card recording.

If the UDC system indicates a recording error, “REC ERROR” will display on the monitor(s) in use. If “REC ERROR” is displayed, power OFF the UDC, reinsert the SD card, and power ON the unit.

The UDC will transmit video without the use of SD card recording. If the unit is powered ON without an SD card inserted "REC ERROR" will be displayed on the monitor(s) in use. The LED indicator on the UDC will also flash red to indicate no SD card present.

» SD Card Viewing:

To review recorded video files: Power OFF the UDC, eject the SD card, and insert the SD card into an SD card reader on a computer.

All files will be under the folder DCIM\100Media on the SD card. Recorded files will be listed sequentially in numerical order. All recorded video files are AVI files, and are easily viewed in Windows Media Player or VideoLan's VLC Player. AVI files may also be viewed in QuickTime with the appropriate plug-in.

» Audio:

The UDC houses an omni-directional microphone and records audio and video directly to the SD card for post operational review.
