WIRELESS DVR OWNER’S MANUAL
WDVR42 AND WDVR42 HDD
INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
The Wireless Digital Video Recorder (WDVR) system is currently available in 2 configurations: - HDD and
non-HDD. The WDVR receiver supports an optional external USB HDD, comes with an 8GB microSD
card, and supports an external USB hard drive (not included). The WDVR HDD receiver comes with an
internal 1TB HDD. Most operations are identical between the two configurations, and this manual refers
to the WDVR for simplicity. Features and operations unique to the WDVR or WDVR HDD are discussed
separately.
The WDVR system provides up to 4 video channels and can accommodate up to 4 digital video cameras.
This manual covers the 4 channel-2 camera configurations; hence, the model names are WDVR4-2 and
WDVR4-2 HDD.
INTRODUCTION
The WDVR system consists of a WDVR receiver and digital wireless cameras. The WDVR receiver stores
video and audio data from up to 4 cameras. You can view the data in real-time, later, or remotely via
mobile device(s) with an internet connection (smartphone, tablet, etc.).
The Digital Wireless Camera(s) wirelessly transfers compressed video and audio data in digital format.
This digital format offers an efficient, secure, and interference-free wireless connection to the WDVR
receiver. Transferring audio and video is secure and private, with no need to run cable(s) between the
receiver and the cameras. Installation is quick and easy.
USING THE WDVR
You can manage your system remotely (using Uniden’s WDVR app) or through the mouse (using an
internal management system in the WDVR receiver).
