Choose a Location
Before mounting the SmartGuard, please consider and
select a location for the unit based on the coverage
angles as shown on the right and the following conditions:
z For the best results, fix the unit on a solid surface,
2~2.5m above the ground.
z Avoid aiming the unit at pools, heating vents, air
conditioners or objects which may change
temperature rapidly.
z Do not allow sunlight to fall directly on the front of
unit.
z Try to avoid pointing the unit at trees or shrubs or
where the motion of pets may be detected.
z Prior to mounting the unit, remember to position the
motion sensor so that a moving object cuts “across”
its beams, not directly towards them. (FIG. 3a, p.10).
Install a wall switch adjacent to the power source (FIG. 3b). This will help you operate
SmartGuard with ease.

Wire SmartGuard
z Switch off the power source or wall switch.
z Align the mounting straps to the junction box with
the holes. Secure with mounting screws.
z Twist the junction box wires with fixture wires
together as shown below. Secure with provided
wire nuts.
z Align the mounting holes to the mounting
straps, secure with two provided screws.
z Switch on the power source or wall switch.

IMPORTANT
Some local building codes may require installation of this product by a qualified
electrician.
Check your local codes as they apply to your situation. If the house wiring is of
aluminum, consult with an electrician about proper wiring methods.
Maintenance or repairing work such as replacing current fuse shall be done by a
qualified electrician or technician.
Before proceeding with the installation, TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE
LIGHTING CIRCUIT AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX TO AVOID
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
CAUTION:
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST NOT BE MOUNTED ON AN OUTLET BOX
WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY A BAR HANGER or equivalent (NE PAS
MONTER CET ÉQUIPEMENT SUR UNE BOÎTE DE SORTIE FIXÉE À UNE
BARRE DE SUSPENSION or equivalent).

How to View the Video
z Open the cover of SD slot.
z Push in the SD memory card and it will spring out, carefully
remove it from your SmartGuard.
z The recorded file will be saved in .asf format under the
path LIGHT\YMD\time+serial no.asf. Below is an
example of a self generated file name:
17075600
Note: Oldest images are deleted and overwritten as the card reaches capacity to
ensure records of recent events are always available.
Test SmartGuard
It It is recommended to test the SmartGuard after the above steps are completed to
ensure your SmartGuard can reach its optimal performance. The following test is
based upon setting of Scene 1 with time control set in 20 seconds and Lux control
switched to the dusk position.
z Either day or night, walk into and move slowly around the protected area. Once
the PIR detector senses movements, alert sound is on with the light turn on and
camera records for 20 seconds.
z Check the video record. The length of playing time is 20 seconds after the
camera detects a movement plus approx. 4 to 12 seconds of pre-record time
( pre-record image allows you to trace what’s happening before a movement has
been detected).
z If recorded images are blurred at night, check the position of camera lens. Turn
the lens down to avoid taking sky as background. Check if floodlight is spotting
on reflective objects. Move reflective objects or adjust mounting position of the
SmartGuard if it is required.

Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on:
z Confirm that you have made a correct “wiring connection”.
z Make sure that the bulb has not burned out and is installed correctly.
Warning Sound is on after powering up:
z SD card is not inserted.
PIR and LUX is not working:
z Do not allow sunlight to fall directly on to the front of the unit.
Warning sound and video recording is not on:
z They are on only when the unit is triggered.
z Make sure the unit is not on Scene 4.
z Please re-power the unit
Filmed videos can’t be saved into SD card:
z Damage of the videos might be caused by inappropriate retrieval/insertion of
SD card; ensure the unit is powered off before the action is taken.
No action is taken after scene changing:
z Under video recording mode, the scene changing will not happen until PIR
triggering time is finished (e.g. if PIR triggering time is set to 5 mins, the scene
changing will be taken 5 mins later).
Video and sound recording is not executing:
z The function is disabled if the unit is set to scene 4.
The taken images of people are blurred during the night:
z Avoid taking images with sky as background; turn the camera lens down if it is
the case.
z Try not to spot the light on reflective objects; the reflection of light could cause
blurred images.
