those small motions recorded, and it will take much more time for you to search the data that you want. In addition, the available memory left for later decreases as the file size gets bigger, and the battery fades quickly. 4-2-1-4. FPS (Recording frames per second) Recording frames per second (FPS) depends on the different values for the Image Resolution. Image Resolution 128 x x x x x x 480 Recording Speed (FPS) 1 - - - - 10 1-5 1-4
4-2-1-5. FILE LIM This is to turn on and off the function to limit file sizes being recorded. If this function is turned ON, then a file gets created for every hour or 10MB of file size while recording images. If you turn off this function, then you get just one file regardless of the file size or time elapsed. You are automatically deactivating OVERWRITE function when this function is turned OFF. 4-2-1-6. NOISE CUT In the dark place, there happens many noise of image from the camera. The motion detection algorithm recognizes that noise as a motion and records the noise even if there was no actual motion. Self-Guard can cut this noise using the highly-efficient noise cancellation algorithm. There are five noise cutting levels (LL, L, M, H, HH). If you set this level to LL, then the Self-Guard cuts the low-level noise only. And if you set this level to HH, then the Self-Guard cuts so far as the high-level noise. Most of the noise can be cut by setting this level to M, but sometimes, there could be high-level noise depending on the kinds of cameras. In that case, you can set this level to H or HH to cut the noise.
At dawn, the light becomes bright from dark, generating a lot of noise when the SelfGuard is in such circumstance. And the Self-Guard may recognize those noises as a motion. In this case, you can set this level to H or HH to cut the noise. However, if you set the level to H or HH, then the motion detection algorithm of the Self-Guard may recognize the actual small motions as noise, and does not record those small motions. So, set the level to M except for the special cases.
4-2-1-7. MOTION AREA (Motion Detection) Out of the whole recording area from the cameras view, this function is used when you want to detect motions for the specific areas that you have selected only. The whole recording area is divided into 16 (128x128), 20 (160x128), and 25 (240x240, 320x240, 480x480, and 640x480) blocks depending on the resolution. You can move the cursor among from the blocks by using the direction buttons, and press [ENT] to select (red colored O) or cancel (blue colored -) specific blocks. After selecting all the blocks for the motion detection, press [ESC] to escape from the EDIT mode and to go to the four options below. Select SAVE and press [ENT] to save the selected blocks.

preset time schedule, Self-Guard exits from the Sleep mode and starts to record. If you press [ESC] or [ENT] when the Self-Guard is in the sleep mode, then the LCD will display with a message, CHECK SCHEDULE for 5 seconds. During this message is displayed on the LCD, if you press [ESC], then Self-Guard exits from the sleep mode and goes into the menu mode. If you do not press [ESC] for that 5 seconds, then the Self-Guard keeps its sleep mode.
4-2-6-1. ALL DAY If you turn on this option, then the Self-Guard records for 24 hours, all day long continuously. 4-2-6-2. 08-11: OFF Recording time schedule number 1. Press [ENT] then the next screen appears in the LCD as below. You can change for the time using direction buttons.

4-3. SEARCH SET

Select 3.SEARCH SET using the direction buttons, and press [ENT]. Then the next screen appears in the LCD as below.
4-3-1. REPEAT: OFF If you turn on a. REPEAT, then it keeps repeating playback the file. When it is turned off, then the file stops from playing after its first playback. 4-3-2. AUDIO: ON If you turn on 2. AUDIO, then 3.BT AUDIO automatically becomes OFF, and plays the audio recorded by the microphone (internal or external). If you turn off 2.AUDIO, and select one of the Bluetooth channel (BT1 BT 7), then the audio for the selected channel gets played from the speaker. If you turn off both for the 2.AUDIO and 3.BT AUDIO, then only the video will play without the audio.
4-3-3. BT AUDIO: OFF (SG-3000 only) You can select one from the 8 options (OFF, BT1 BT7). If you select OFF for 3. BT AUDIO, then the Self-Guard does not play the audio recorded by the slave Self-Guard via Bluetooth. If you select one from BT1 to BT7, then 2.AUDIO automatically becomes OFF, and the audio from a Bluetooth channel gets played. If 3.BT AUDIO is OFF and 2.AUDIO is ON, then the Self-Guard play the audio recorded by the microphone. If you turn off both for the 2.AUDIO and 3.BT AUDIO, then only the video will play without the audio. 4-3-4. FASTAUDIO: OFF If you turn on 3. FASTAUDIO, then the audio and video plays together during the High-Speed Play. When it is turned off, then only the video plays during the HighSpeed Play. 4-3-5. TIME SYNC: OFF Time Sync function decides on whether to playback each file saved from different cameras synchronized with the time. During playback, you can switch between 4channel mode and single channel mode by pressing []. If you turn on Time Sync function, and change the channels in a single-channel mode one by one and play it, then the time frames of each file gets automatically synchronized with all files as you press -> (Play), so that that you can play from the same position stopped from the other cameras. In the time frame, if there is no saved image for a certain position (time) from camera 2 to be synchronized with camera 1, then the time frame bar for camera 2 moves to its closest position to that certain time. If this function is turned on and you switch into 4channel mode from single-channel mode, then all four files are synchronized with time. If this function was turned off, and you have played each file in the single-channel mode and stopped in different positions in the time frame bar, but switch into 4-channel mode, then it takes about 2 to 3 seconds for all the files to be synchronized with the time. And the screen displays with the massage, Sync for that time.

If you turn off the Time Sync function, then it does not synchronize with the time even if you change the channels by pressing [], or press -> (Play) or |> (Move forward by 1 frame) after changing the channel. But, if you switch into 4-channel mode and press -> (Play) or |> (Move forward by 1 frame), then the files are synchronized with the exact or closest time regardless of the Time Sync ON, OFF. The reason for synchronizing all the files with the time is to match the video with the audio being played.
4-3-6. SYNC MSG: ON This function is to decide whether to display the massage, Sync on the screen while synchronizing the files. 4-4. DATE/TIME SET
Select 4.DATE/TIME SET using the direction buttons, and press [ENT]. Then the next screen appears in the LCD as below.

4-5-1. LAN SET

4-5-1-1. LAN: OFF If 1.LAN is set to on, then you can connect to the Self-Guard with your computer with the ID and the password by the network from a remote place. But, if 1.LAN is set to off, then you cannot connect to the Self-Guard. When you are not using the LAN, turn it off to save the battery. 4-5-1-2. SET IP ADDR
This function sets the address for IP, GATEWAY, and SUBNET MASK. The default values are 192 : 168 : 001 : (001) : 130 (IP), 192 : 168 : 001 : 001 (GATEWAY), and 255 : 255 : 255 : 000 (SUBNET MASK). You can change these values using the direction buttons, and press [ENT] to save the changed values. [] and [] are for moving the cursor to where you want to change the value with. [] and [] are to increase/decrease the numbers for these addresses. 4-5-2. WLAN SET If you did not purchase the SG-970(Wireless-G Access Point), you do not need to read this part. SG-970 (Wireless-G Access Point) and SG-972 (Wireless-G USB Adaptor) should be used for WLAN SET. Before using WLAN SET, read and follow instructions provided with SG-970 (Wireless-G Access Point) to connect this to the Internet, and then connect SG-972 (Wireless-G USB Adaptor) to the USB port of Self-Guard. After the Wireless-G Access Point is connected with internet properly, you can connect to the

rest of the modes besides RECORD and TRANSMIT, it turns off the power completely. Set the time to 0 to deactivate the 1. AUTO OFF function. 4-9-3-2. SAVE AC: OFF This function is to save the power 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. 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) by setting this function to ON. Caution: Set it to OFF when using the Remote Access (LAN) or the Bluetooth.
4-9-3-3. 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 Remote Access (LAN) or the Bluetooth. 4-9-3-4. ULTRA SAV: OFF This function is used when you are using the battery to operate the Self-Guard, and to maximize the batterys life time. If you turn on this function, then the Self-Guard goes into the Ultra Power Save mode if no motion is detected for 10 minutes. In order for the Self-Guard to come out of this mode, it has to detect an audio. Self-Guard does not come out of the Ultra Power Save mode even if it detects motions if you set on this function. Accordingly, even if there is a motion detected by the Self-Guard, it does not record data if there is no audio detected after the Self-Guard goes into this mode. Be very careful of using this function in such places where there may be no audio detected by the Self-Guard at all. Caution: Set it to off when using the Remote Access (LAN) or the Bluetooth. 4-9-3-5. VIDEO TIME: 5 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 SelfGuard 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 even if it detects motions. 4-9-3-6. AUDIO TIME: 5 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 SelfGuard 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 SelfGuard 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. Caution: If you set this time to 0, then the Self-Guard will not record the sound even if it detects sound. 4-9-3-7. AUDIO DET: OFF This is whether to turn on and off audio detection function. This function is related to the battery life time, and you should turn off this function if you want to extend the battery life. Option ON/OFF AUDIO DET:OFF AUDIO DET:OFF AUDIO DET:OFF AUDIO DET:ON AUDIO DET:ON AUDIO DET:CON When this function is set to OFF: Self-Guard is programmed to record audio when Self-Guard detects motion from the camera and audio from the microphone at the same time. Accordingly, even if there is audio, Self-Guard goes into sleep mode and does not record audio when there is no motion detected for selected time (1-9 sec., default 5 sec.) after the very last motion detection. Self-Guard comes out of the sleep mode every 2 seconds to check if there is a motion, and if it detects motion and audio, then it records audio. However, it does not record audio when there is audio if there is no motion. This will result in discontinuance audio sound during playback. Despite of the audio discontinuance, it is a very useful function to extend the battery life for recording when Self-Guard is placed in a very loud place. When this function is set to ON: Self-Guard is programmed to record audio as soon as it detects an audio even if there is no motion. When there is no motion or an audio, Self-Guard goes into sleep mode, and check if there is a motion every 2 seconds. Self-Guard comes out of sleep mode Video Detection YES YES NO YES/NO YES/NO YES/NO Audio Detection YES NO YES/NO YES NO YES/NO Record Audio YES NO NO YES NO YES
as soon as it detects audio sound even when it is in the sleep mode. In this mode, SelfGuard is programmed to record with any audio detection, so you should be careful in turning this function to ON in a loud place to prevent from wasting the battery. When this function is set to CON: Self-Guard is programmed to record constantly regardless of audio or motion detection. In this mode, battery gets consumed very fast requiring your attention. You are recommended to use this mode only when you need to record very small audio sound under the possible level of audio detection. 4-9-3-8. DET. LEVEL: 1 Select audio detection level from 1 to 26. Lower the level for this function, it will detect smaller sound. If you want to set the unit to record on loud audio detection, increase the level to large numbers. If you set this level to a low value in a place with loud noise, then Self-Guard will detect the noise as audio and thus record this noise. Test before setting this level to avoid detecting and recording of noise.

Set the volume for the alarm when there is a motion detected by the camera of the Self-Guards which are connected wirelessly via Bluetooth. There are 9 different levels for the volume (1 - 9). 4-9-5. SG-921 SET If you did not purchase the SG-921(Wireless Receiver), you dont need to read this part. This function is to control the SG-921, which can receive the data transmitted from the analog wireless transmission camera (2.4 GHz). You must turn it on to activate this function. Using the SG-921 you can record 4 cameras simultaneously or you can turn on and off the external camera(s) you want from OPTION CAMERA SET. For the SG-921, for example, the external camera NO.3 becomes wireless camera NO.1, and the external camera NO.4 becomes wireless camera NO.2, and so on. If this function is set to on, then SENSOR function will be deactivated automatically. When you are not using this function, turn it off. 4-9-6. LANGUAGE: ENG This is to select the language to be displayed in the menu. ENG is for the menu in English, KOR is for Korean, and JAP is for Japanese. 4-9-7. UPGRADE

AUTO Off Function The Self-Guard automatically turns off the power or goes into the powersavings mode if you dont press any button for a certain amount of time (1-9 minutes). This does not indicate malfunction of the system. In RECORD and TRANSMIT modes, Self-Guard turns off only the LCD, battery status LAMP, and recording status LAMP to save the battery. But, in

the rest of the modes except for RECORD or TRANSMIT, it turns off the power completely. Set the time to 0 to deactivate AUTO OFF function. Caution: To maximize the life of the battery, do not turn off AUTO OFF function. Discontinuance of audio sound during playback You may encounter discontinuance of audio sound when you playback files. This does not mean a product defect. Self-Guard is designed and set for the power saving mode to intend longer battery life. Self-Guard goes into sleep mode and does not record when there is no motion detected for selected time (1-9 sec., default 5 sec.) after the very last motion detection. Self-Guard comes out of the sleep mode every 2 seconds to check if there is a motion, and if it does not detect a motion, then it repeats of going into sleep mode and checking any motions in every two seconds. However, it does not record audio when there is audio if there is no motion. This will result in discontinuance audio sound during playback. Self-Guard can be programmed to go into sleep mode even when there is audio sound but without a motion, and this causes audio discontinuance during playback. If you want to record audio sound without disruption, then you should turn ON audio detection function from Power Set. For detailed information on this, refer to 4-7-2-7.

Select RECORD with the direction buttons and then press [ENT]. Then it shows the screen thats being recorded as below, and the Self-Guard starts to record images. When the Self-Guard goes into the RECORD mode, then the color of recording status LAMP changes into red from green. When the Self-Guard detects a motion, the color turns into yellow. So if the Self-Guard continues to detect motions, then the color alternates between red and yellow.
This function saves images from the cameras, sounds from the microphones and data from the sensors. Before you start to record, be sure to check from the LCD that the camera can capture where you would like to record. In RECORD mode, even under the situation of the battery and adaptor power outage, if the power from either of these gets available to the Self-Guard, then the Self-Guard automatically turns on its power, and returns to the RECORD mode. This function is very useful for the users who are in remote places from their Self-Guard, and not able to control it immediately. REC AV: Indication of recording both A (Audio) and V (Video). Shows REC V when recording the video only. C1: Camera channel number 1 being used for recording. If it shows C1345, then C indicates of camera and 1345 indicates for camera channel numbers. If it shows C1B123, then C1 indicates of camera number 1 and B123 indicates of Bluetooth channel 1, 2 and 3. 13:40:34: current time.

FPS (Recording frames per second) Recording frames per second (FPS) depends on the different values for the Image Resolution. Image Resolution 128 x x x x x x 480 4-2-1-5. FILE LIM This is to turn on and off the function to limit file sizes being recorded. If this function is turned ON, then a file gets created for every hour or 10MB of file size while recording images. If you turn off this function, then you get just one file regardless of the file size or time elapsed. You are automatically deactivating OVERWRITE function when this function is turned OFF. 4-2-1-6. NOISE CUT In the dark place, there happens many noise of image from the camera. The motion detection algorithm recognizes that noise as a motion and records the noise even if there was no actual motion. Self-Guard can cut this noise using the highly-efficient noise cancellation algorithm. There are five noise cutting levels (LL, L, M, H, HH). If you set this level to LL, then the Self-Guard cuts the low-level noise only. And if you set this level to HH, then the Self-Guard cuts so far as the high-level noise. Most of the noise can be cut by setting this level to M, but sometimes, there could be high-level noise depending on the kinds of cameras. In that case, you can set this level to H or HH to cut the noise. At dawn, the light becomes bright from dark, generating a lot of noise when the SelfGuard is in such circumstance. And the Self-Guard may recognize those noises as a motion. In this case, you can set this level to H or HH to cut the noise. Recording Speed (FPS) 1 - - - - 10 1-5 1-4
However, if you set the level to H or HH, then the motion detection algorithm of the Self-Guard may recognize the actual small motions as noise, and does not record those small motions. So, set the level to M except for the special cases. 4-2-1-7. MOTION AREA (Motion Detection) Out of the whole recording area from the cameras view, this function is used when you want to detect motions for the specific areas that you have selected only. The whole recording area is divided into 16 (128x128), 20 (160x128), and 25 (240x240, 320x240, 480x480, and 640x480) blocks depending on the resolution. You can move the cursor among from the blocks by using the direction buttons, and press [ENT] to select (red colored O) or cancel (blue colored -) specific blocks. After selecting all the blocks for the motion detection, press [ESC] to escape from the EDIT mode and to go to the four options below. Select SAVE and press [ENT] to save the selected blocks.

ALL: Select all blocks CLEAR: Cancel all blocks EDIT: Select/Cancel blocks SAVE: Save and Exit Caution: If you select CLEAR and save it by pressing [ENT], then the Self-Guard does not record any images even if there is a motion, because no area is selected for the Self-Guard to detect the motions. Accordingly, be sure to select at least one block in order for the Self-Guard to detect and record the images.
4-2-2. AUDIO SET (SG-200, SG-210, SG-300, SG-310 only)
This function turns on and off audio recording function, and you can select either a built-in microphone or an external microphone. When you turn on 3.EXT MIC, be sure that there is an external microphone connected to the external microphone input port to record audio. Set off 1.AUDIO to record video only. 4-2-3. SIZE (Image Resolution for Recording) This function adjusts the resolution of images. The ranges of the resolution are 128x128, 160x128, 240x240, 320x240, 480x480, and 640x480 pixels. 4-2-4. ZOOM When this function is set to ON, and recording with built-in camera(s), then you can record images with a Zoom-In function. This Zoom-In function can be used for the image resolutions of 128x128, 160x128, 240x240, and 320x240. In 128x128 and160x128, you can magnify by 16 times of the image recorded, and by 4 times in 240x240 and 320x240. 4-2-5. OVERWRITE (Overwrite when memory is full) If you set this Overwrite function to on, then the oldest file in dates gets replaced by the new file being recorded, enabling the Self-Guard to continue to record when the memory is full. If this function is off, and the memory is full with the existing files, then the Self-Guard stops from recording the images, and returns back to the initial menu mode, displaying STOP! MEM FULL on the LCD screen. Press any button to remove this message from the screen. If 1.AUTO OFF (4.

During playback, you can switch between 4channel mode and single channel mode by pressing []. If you turn on Time Sync function, and change the channels in a single-channel mode one by one and play it, then the time frames of each file gets automatically synchronized with all files as you press -> (Play), so that that you can play from the same position stopped from the other cameras. In the time frame, if there is no saved image for a certain position (time) from camera 2 to be synchronized with camera 1, then the time frame bar for camera 2 moves to its closest position to that certain time. If this function is turned on and you switch into 4channel mode from single-channel mode, then all four files are synchronized with time. If this function was turned off, and you have played each file in the single-channel mode and stopped in different positions in the time frame bar, but switch into 4-channel mode, then it takes about 2 to 3 seconds for all the files to be synchronized with the time. And the screen displays with the massage, Sync for that time. If you turn off the Time Sync function, then it does not synchronize with the time even if you change the channels by pressing [], or press -> (Play) or |> (Move forward by
1 frame) after changing the channel. But, if you switch into 4-channel mode and press -> (Play) or |> (Move forward by 1 frame), then the files are synchronized with the exact or closest time regardless of the Time Sync ON, OFF. The reason for synchronizing all the files with the time is to match the video with the audio being played. 4-3-6.

The options for this function are OFF, 1-9, and OFF. If you set it with a number between 1 and 9, then the Self-Guard automatically tries to reconnect to each other for that selected number of times, and stops after those number of trials. If it is set to OFF, then the Self-Guard does not try to reconnect even after it gets disconnected. If you set this function to ON, then the Self-Guard will try to connect to other Self-Guards until it gets reconnected. 6-6. ANT TYPE: INT Self-Guard has an internal antenna for the wireless function, and you can select this ANT TYPE to INT (internal) or EXT (external). When you use the internal antenna, the Self-Guard can transmit data up to 100 meters in places with no obstacles. If you use the high gain external antenna, you can increase the transmit range up to several kilometers. And the distance depends on the different kinds of antenna gain. After loading external antenna onto the Self-Guard you must set this type to EXT. 6-7. POWER: OFF This function turns ON or OFF the power for the Bluetooth. Turn it on to access the Bluetooth.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Self-Guard shuts down its power for no reason. The Self-Guard automatically turns off the power or goes into the power-savings mode if you dont press any button for a certain amount of time (1-9 minutes). This does not indicate malfunction of the system. In RECORD and TRANSMIT modes, Self-Guard turns off only the LCD, battery status LAMP, and recording status LAMP to save the battery. But, in the rest of the modes except for RECORD or TRANSMIT, it turns off the power completely. Set the time to 0 to deactivate AUTO POWER OFF function. Caution: To maximize the life of the battery, do not turn off AUTO POWER OFF function. Battery power fades quickly. An external monitor can only be used in the SEARCH mode. If you dont need an external monitor, select EXT MON SET from the menu OTHERS of the menu OTHERS, and set it off. When you dont need to access the LAN, select LAN from the menu REMOTE SET of the menu OPTION, and set it off. When you are not using the Bluetooth function, set POWER to off from the menu BLUETOOTH. (SG-3000 only) If there exists some external cameras, which you are not using, then set off all those cameras from the menu CAMERA SET of the menu OPTION. If I connect the Self-Guard with the docking station or the adaptor, then the SelfGuard turns on its power automatically. Self-Guard has a function named, automatic recovery function, and it automatically turns on its power when it is provided with external power sources. If there is an electricity (a power) failure, Self-Guard automatically starts to use the power from its battery. But the Self-Guard turns off its power, when it is not provided with the power from the adaptor for a long time, and uses up the whole battery. And as soon as the electricity is available to the Self-Guard, it automatically starts to charge the battery with electricity, and returns back to the modes just before it turned off its power (RECORD, TRANSMIT, or to the initial mode). This function is very useful when you have installed the Self-Guard in the remote places far away from you. In the case that you have installed the Self-Guard in remote places, and there happens an electricity failure for some time and the electricity gets available to the Self-Guard again, then you have to go to where the Self-Guard is placed to turn it on, and to set it to the RECORD or TRANSMIT modes. But the Self-Guards have this automatic recovery function, and free the users from the burden. Self-Guards image from the camera or recorded images are blurred. It may happen when there is dust or other particles on the camera lens, so you should carefully wipe out those dust and other particles at times with the rolled up soft fabrics or tissue. I cannot go into magnification mode. You can only go into magnification mode in the case that OPTION mode OHERS EXT MON SET MON OUT is set to off. Audio gets interrupted when playback a file.
