SG Home® Electric & Battery CVRs Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your SG Home® Cloud Video Recording System (CVR). Before getting started, allow
us to introduce some of the main features of your hidden camera. SG Home® CVR cameras allow for live
viewing of the camera and cloud storage of the event recordings. You can access the camera or video
recording from anywhere using our free SG Home® App. Event notifications alert you when the hidden camera
detects activity in your home or office. Connect up to 4 cameras on one ultra-secure cloud account, view live s
video and download your recordings from all cameras onto your tablet or smart phone. You can immediately
record or take pictures of any suspicious event in real-time allowing you to view them from your local drive and
in the SG Home® App.

For all event notifications, our cameras use PIR to detect motion. PIR (Passive Infrared) is the most accurate
form of notification, creating less false triggers than other motion activated cameras. There is a 2 second start
up, so place your camera accordingly to see how to best place your camera using the PIR Chart (on page 12).

Our SG Home® CVRs do not come standard with a subscription account. In order to take full advantage of our
Cloud Recording System, you need to sign up for a cloud subscription plan. A subscription plan is required for
storage of your video files you can select the plan with the number of recordings that would work best for you
(see page 4). Follow this link to purchase your subscription plan. www.sghomecloud.com/subscriptions

Our entire line of SleuthGear® hidden cameras are designed and assembled in Nashville, TN USA backed by
our 1 year warranty. Visit www.sleuthgear.com to see the entire line of SleuthGear® hidden cameras.
