Place your device
1 - Remove your HomeGuardian from the box, plug the USB cable into the back of the device, and screw the mounting tripod into the device’s base.
2 - Place your HomeGuardian in a high-traffic area in your home (approx. 2m off the ground) where the device would see a large area.
a - Tilt the mounting tripod slightly downwards so the HomeGuardian’s circular sensor can “see” a large, unblocked portion of the area's floor.
Set up your app
1 - Visit hello.homeguardian.ai on your computer, or homeguardian.ai/apps on your mobile phone.2 - Enter your login details. Once you log in, you’ll be prompted to check your registration information in the “Who is the HomeGuardian for” section.3 - You can then scroll down and register your emergency contacts.
a - Enter their name, mobile phone number, and relationship to you in the marked boxes, and tick “Update”. Make sure the box marked “Active” is set to “Yes”.
b - Under the “Notification Settings” box, select how you’d like HomeGuardian to notify your contacts during an incident (eg. SMS or Phonecall).
Enable Wi-Fi
1 - Tap the Menu icon on the top left corner of the screen and choose the “Settings” menu option.
2 - Press the blue link at the bottom of the page that says ‘Connect HomeGuardian Devices to your Wi-Fi Network via QR Code.’
3 - Scroll down, and make sure the Wi-Fi drop-down says “Enable Wi-Fi”.

How to label
Labelling your device is helpful for letting your emergency contacts know where you are if something happens.
Log into the HomeGuardian User Portal or app, and click “Devices @ Home”. Select the device you’d like to label, and create a label in the “Device Name” section. Click “Update” to finalise your changes.
We recommend labelling your device after the room in which you’ve placed it (eg. 'Kitchen' or 'Bedroom').

You can easily log into the HomeGuardian app on your mobile phone, or your computer. Full instructions on how to install the app can be found on Page 5.

To set a reminder, log into the HomeGuardian app or User Portal and click the Reminders button in the Menu. Press the ‘Add a Reminder’ button, select how often you’d like the reminder to repeat, and which device you’re setting the reminder for.
You then have the option to set the reminder “sound” or “speech”. Sounds will just act as an alarm, playing at the same time each day. With the speech function, you can type a sentence (like “time to feed the cat” for example), and the HomeGuardian will “say” it at the selected time.
You can add as many reminders as you need. To remove a reminder, click the red ‘delete’ button.
