technology featuring up to 180 days standby time. With quick and easy
installation, the camera can be placed anywhere inside or outside of the

when setting up viewing angles.
The App Cam Solo connects directly to the local Wi-Fi network and features
motion detection recording directly to an SD card. Users can access the App

even be used to check on pets or babies while in other areas of the house.
The camera features PIR motion sensor, which detects movement and will
send notifications to the user via the app. Users have the ability to two-way
talk in real time through the camera, for easy communication with visitors

Know Camera’s Field of View
The field of view of Uniden Solo is 130° diagonally. Please make sure the
monitoring area is well within its field of view.
The ideal viewing distance is 2 to 10 meters, which enables you to recognize
a human. To achieve better viewing experience, it's advised not to place the
camera too far away or too high from designated monitoring areas.
PLACING THE CAMERA

18
Understand the Detecting Field of the PIR Motion Sensor
The PIR motion sensor is more sensitive to side-to-side movement than
movement heading straight toward the camera or away from the detection
area of the PIR motion sensor.
For example, when a person moves straight toward the camera, the PIR
motion sensor will be less sensitive to the movement.
Note: To get the best performance of the camera, please make sure the
camera is mounted well within the coverage of your wireless network.
Camera Placement Dos & Don’ts
For reducing False alarms, please note that :
● Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including
sunlight and bright lamp lights.
● Do not place the camera too close to a place where many vehicles move
frequently; 15 meters away from the vehicle is the recommended distance
based on our numerous tests.
● Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier
outlets, the heat transfer vent of projectors, etc.
● Do not install the camera facing the mirror/glass.
● Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including
Wi-Fi routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.
