UPGRAdING YOUR G Series FIRMwARE

Check your system firmware version on the Network Information screen.
Go to 

www.unidenvideo.com

 to check the current firmware level. Compare it to your system 

firmware level. If you need to update your G Series firmware, download the most current firmware 
version to your system’s SD card and then upload that firmware to the Monitor.

1.  Eject the SD card from the Monitor.
2.  Insert the SD card into your PC. 
3.  Go to 

www.unidenvideo.com

. 

4.  Copy the current firmware to the SD card.
5.  Remove the SD card and reinsert it into the Monitor.
6.  Upgrade the firmware (see “System Upgrade” on page 40).

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HARdwARE

Monitor

As you use your monitor keep the screen clean by wiping it with a microfibre cloth to remove fin-
gerprints, 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 microfibre cloth 
to regularly clean the cameras or when night vision video is cloudy or unclear.
