the Self-Guard wake up and check if there is a motion. If there is no motion then the
Self-Guard goes into sleep-mode again, but if there is a motion then the Self-Guard
start to record.
This low-powering technology is very important when you are using the battery as
power source for the Self-Guard. But, if you use the AC power for the Self-Guard to
operate, then this low-powering technology is not much helpful to you.
Suppose that if you want to record for a long time and there is no AC power then you
need another battery to operate the Self-Guard for such a long time. If you get battery
with 5 volts output then you can connect that battery to the AC adaptor input port of the
Self-Guard directly. And the Self-Guard does not recognize the difference between the
battery and the AC power connected to the power input port, so that you can save the
battery even though it is connected to the AC power port.
If the Self-Guard recognizes that it is a battery connected to the power input port of the
Self-Guard then this “2.SAVE AC” function is not needed. But the Self-Guard does not
recognizes the difference, and this “2.SAVE AC” function is needed separately from
“3.SAVE BAT”.
In the case that you want to record objects passing once and quickly
before the Self-Guard, then turn off this function.
It can also extend the lifetime of the external battery pack (SG-938) provided by
our company by setting this function to ON.
Caution: Set it to off when using the Bluetooth
.
4-7-2-3. SAVE BAT: ON
This function is to save the battery by using the low-powering technology. If there is no
motion then the Self-Guard goes into the sleep-mode. After 2 seconds have elapsed,
the Self-Guard wake up and check if there is a motion. If there is no motion then the
Self-Guard goes into sleep-mode again, but if there is a motion then the Self-Guard
start to record. This low-powering technology is very important when you are using the
battery as power source for the Self-Guard.
In the case that you want to record objects
passing once and quickly before the Self-Guard, then turn off this function.
Caution: Set it to off when using the Bluetooth.
4-7-2-4. ULTRA SAV: ON
When you set this function to on, then you can maximize the battery usage time.

If this function is on, then the Self-Guard starts to record only if it detects audio not a
movement, so the Self-Guard does not record even if there is a movement.
Caution: Set it to off when using the Bluetooth
.
4-7-2-5. VIDEO TIME: 2
You need to set the “VIDEO TIME” (0-9 seconds) to record the images when the
camera detects motions. For example, if you set the “VIDEO TIME” to 2, then the Self-
Guard starts to record the images from the camera for 2 seconds as soon as it detects
a motion. But if it detects another motion during recording the image for the previously
detected motion, then the recording time for that newly detected motion automatically
becomes another whole set value of 2 seconds.
Caution: If you set this time to 0, then the Self-Guard will not record any images when
it detects motions.
4-7-2-6. AUDIO TIME: 2
This function sets for the audio recording time (0-9 seconds). When “AUDIO DET” is
set to off, then the Self-Guard starts to record audio only in the case that the Self-
Guard detects both the motions from the camera and sounds by the microphone. When
“AUDIO DET” is set to on, then the Self-Guard starts to record audio when the Self-
Guard detects sounds from the microphone regardless of the motions detected from
the camera. Audio recording time set is the same as with the above “Video Recording
Time Set”.
