Your SafeScout Unit
The SafeScout is a sophisticated monitor that includes a PIR motion
detector, digital imager, microphone, memory and modem. When the unit
detects motion, images and sound are captured. The unit dials out on
your existing telephone line and sends the images and sound to the
Sentinel Vision automated control center. From there, the alert and
images and/or sound (as predetermined by the owner who registered the
system) are sent to the owner’s selected contacts.
The SafeScout monitoring unit and wireless siren have 9-volt alkaline
backup batteries in case of a power outage. These batteries will last for
approximately thirty minutes depending on use and available battery
capacity. If the battery in the SafeScout monitoring unit dies, it will wait
until the power comes back on, and then return to the state it was in prior
to the loss of power. For example, if the system was armed when the
power outage occurred, the system will be armed when power is restored.
It is recommended that these back up batteries be replaced once every 6
months or following any power outages.

We recommend that you test the battery located in your SafeScout
monitoring unit once a month. This can be done by unplugging the AC
charger cord from the back of the SafeScout monitoring unit while the
unit is in the disarmed state. Once the cord has been removed use the
keypad or your keyfob to arm the unit. If the unit will not arm it is
recommended that the 9 volt alkaline battery be replaced. Once the test is
complete reconnect the AC charger cord to the back of the SafeScout
monitoring unit.
The SafeScout system does not record images or sound unless it is
armed. In this way, it is similar to a digital camera sitting on a desk--it
requires an action to activate. The SafeScout monitoring unit is equipped
with a privacy door, which can be moved into place to cover the lens and
microphone when you are home, if you do not wish images or sound to
be recorded.
The system is user-friendly, delivering reliable information that allows
you to make informed decisions.
Proper Positioning
We highly recommend that you give special attention to the proper
positioning of your SafeScout monitoring unit to maximize the protection
area. Place the unit at a height at least Four (4) feet from the floor and on
the edge of a flat surface. Placing the SafeScout monitoring unit back
from the edge of your chosen location will reduce its coverage area. You
can set the position of the SafeScout to protect the desired area by using
the view guide on top of the SafeScout monitoring unit. (See the walk
test section on page 12 for additional testing tips.)
The SafeScout system comes with a clear U-shaped mounting bracket to
allow flexibility in location and a vertical angle of view. With this
bracket, you can position the SafeScout monitoring unit 360 degrees
looking down or up as needed. This bracket also makes it easy to mount
your SafeScout monitoring unit to a wall or under a cabinet. It could also
be mounted to the ceiling in the corner of a room.
