AC50 App Video Camera
Which app is the right one for my camera?
Please use the app "OMGuard HD". In case you still use "OMGuard", please change to "OMGuard HD".The camera does not connect to my WiFi.
Please check if the SSID and password have been entered correctly. Also check which WiFi standards are supported by your router / which standards are set in the WLAN settings of your router. Please consider the following:
- In your router settings, standards B+G must be set. If only the Wireless-N-Standard is set, you have to change to „mixed mode“ (the denomination can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer). This means that not only the Wireless-N-Standard but also B+G need to be selected (i.e. B+G+N). As the AC50 does only support B+G, it should then be able to connect to WiFi.
- Moreover, one of the channels 1-9 must be set; please be careful with auto settings of your WLAN router - they might lead to connectivity issues.
Is it possible to adjust the image resolution/recording rate?
Yes. Please proceed as follows:
- Tap „operation“ and then „settings“ to enter the system information
- To access the settings, tap the „Advanced“ field. Enter your Admin password (default password 123456) and confirm with „OK“.
- Tap „Video Setting“ and select the „better image“ (higher resolution) under „Video Quality“>> see manual
- Note: The transmission rate of the pictures depends on the quality of the WLAN connection between camera and router as well as between router and smartphone.
There is no automatic recording if a motion is detected.
Please make sure that you have inserted a microSD card. Please also make sure that you have selected „high“(for higher sensitivity of the motion detection) in the Sensitivity Setting. In case „off“ is selected, there will be no automatic recording (see manual chapter 9 and 12).The App crashes in the advanced settings.
Please make sure that you have downloaded the current version of the app.There is condensed water in front of the camera lense.
The camera housing itself is weather-proof (IP66). However, humidity might enter if the rubber strap remains open when installing the SD card and at the same time there is a high air humidity. If condensed water has developed, the camera needs to be operated with opened rubber strap for about 1 hour. Afterwards, the rubber strap can be closed again. To prevent condensed water formation, please make sure the camera is always supplied with electricity when installed outside.The infrared function of the camera does not work.
It may occur that the infrared filter is stuck, i.e. it is not drawn back at night time. This means that the picture remains dark although the IR-LEDs light up. Normally, this problem can be solved by carefully knocking on the housing or pulling out the power plug.Where can I find „notify enable“ to activate push notifications?
For Android devices:In the App, tap the information button (see picture). Among others, the menu item „notify“ appears in which you can activate the setting „notify enable“.

I receive push messages, but only sporadically.
In general, the camera sends push messages with an alarm interval of 2 min meaning that if a push message is sent after motion detection, the next message will be sent at the earliest 2 min after the previous message, even if another movement is detected within this time slot (the recording function remains unaffected).Besides, a push message schedule might be activated. In this case, push messages are only sent within the set time.I don't receive push messages (with Android 8 or 9.
With Android 8 and 9, please do not select the battery optimisation in the application.

CA300 Compact Alarm System
I cannot make the unit alarm.
If you have connected the batteries and the wires, have armed the unit and tried to activate the alarm without success, please check the following:
- Check that the spring on the tamper switch on the back of the control unit is depressed. If this is not depressed the unit will not alarm.
- The unit is possibly not yet armed because you are still in the detection area. The unit allows you minimum 30 seconds to leave the room / the detection area. If during this time a movement is detected the exit delay of 30 seconds starts again. A detection during the exit delay is signalled by a peep sound and a flash of the red LED. When the green LED goes out the system is fully armed.
- Check that you have waited for the exit delay (min. 30 seconds) and the entry delay (8 seconds after detection).
- Check by moving across the detection area of the PIR movement detector, do not move directly towards the PIR movement detector.
The unit is not responding correctly.
- Check that the batteries are still good.
- Check that the spring of the tamper switch on the back of the control unit is depressed.
How can I test the detection area of the movement detector, without setting off an alarm?
Arm the control unit - the green LED illuminates to signal the exit delay period. Every detected movement will be signalled by a flash of the red LED and a peep sound. When you have walked around to check the detection area then you can disarm the system. When no movement is detected during a period of 30 seconds, then the system is fully armed. If this happens you should quickly disarm the system. The PIR movement detector does not respond to a movement.
The reason could be:
- The person or object is not moving enough or too slowly.
- The temperature of the person or object is too close to the ambient temperature.
- The movement must be across the detection area. Movements directly towards the PIR movement detector are not detected as quickly.
An alarm has sounded for no apparent reason.
The PIR movement detector reacts to the movement of an anything which is warmer (or colder) than its surroundings. Possible causes of false alarms are for example:
- Movement of animals or pets
- A radiator, heater, air conditioner, fan, coffee maker, fax machine or similar switching on or off.
- Strong sunlight shining in through a window
- Electric lights turning on or off
Remove any potential disturbing factors or change the location of the PIR movement detector.How large is the detection area of the PIR movement detector?
Under standard conditions (around 20°C) the detector can cover an area of approx. 90° to a distance of up to 6m. It is recommended that the PIR movement detector be mounted in a corner of the room such that the expected movement is across the detection area. The maximum range can vary with high or low temperatures and humidity. Test the detection area, holding the PIR movement detector in the proposed location, before you start with the installation.What happens after an alarm?
The external siren and the siren in the control unit sound for up to 60 seconds. You can interrupt the siren by disarming the system. If the system is not disarmed the siren will stop automatically after 60 seconds. The system remains armed: If further movement is detected the alarm will be repeated.The system does not react to my code.
- Whenever the batteries are removed the code (as well as other programming) will revert to the original factory settings.
- Try using the factory set code of "11". If this works, then you can reprogram your own code (refer the user manual).
Can I leave the system with the factory set code?
Of course you are free to use the factory set code (11). However, we strongly recommend using a different code for security reasons.How long do the batteries last?
Under normal use alkaline batteries will last over one year. If the batteries in the control unit need to be changed, this will be indicated by a peep sound and a short flash of the red LED every 20 seconds. If you are not regularly in the protected building we recommend that you change the batteries once a year. Always change the batteries in the external siren and the control unit at the same time.Can I install the components outdoors?
The control unit and the PIR movement detector are designed for use indoors (or inside smaller buildings such as garden sheds and garages). The external siren can be mounted outdoors, it should however be protected from direct rainfall (mount it beneath a roof overhang for example).The external siren sounds, but there is no alarm at the control panel.
- The external siren and the control panel have become disconnected.
- There is no power in the control panel. Maybe the batteries in the control panel are run down or have been removed.
The control unit makes a peep sound and the red LED flashes regularly every 20 seconds.
The batteries are used up. Replace the batteries in the control unit and in the external siren with new ones. After the battery change remember to reset your code.

The unit gives an alarm signal although the window is closed.
- The distance between the magnet and the Alarm unit is too large. The distance must be less than 10 mm.
- The arrow on the magnet must point to the mark on the side of the Alarm unit.
Can I use the window alarm for a door?
Yes. It is however, not recommended for the main entrance door of a house or flat when you are absent, as you yourself will cause an alarm on leaving and entering the property.
Can I use the window alarm for cupboard doors, display cases or drawers?
Yes. However if you position the mini alarm on the inside, you yourself will cause an alarm when you open the door or drawer.Can the window alarm operate on metal framed windows?
Metallic surfaces can reduce the strength of the magnetic field. Test the function of the unit by holding the components on the window and window frame, before final fixing. If no alarm sounds when the magnet is removed (window opened) then try the following:- Reduce the distance between the magnet and the Alarm unit.
- Insert a wooden or plastic spacer under the magnet and if necessary under the Alarm unit in order to separate them from the metal surface.
The surfaces of outer and opening window frame are not level.
Hold the Alarm unit and the magnet in the proposed position and by opening the window test the function. If the initial distance is too great the alarm will not stop when the window is closed. The following should help:
- Use a plastic or wooden spacer under the magnet or alarm unit to reduce the distance.
- Mount the magnet on the side of the opening window frame (see the picture below).

GA50 Gas Alarm
When plugging the mains adapter into the socket, the POWER LED doesn't light up.
- Is the socket live? Test with another appliance which you know works.
- Is the mains adapter pushed fully into the socket?
- Are the cable ends of the mains adapter connected to the terminal screws on the gas alarm?
- Are the terminal screws fully tightened? (Remove the mains adapter from the socket before checking the terminal screws.)
The unit generates an alarm as soon as I connect it to the power supply.
Once the power supply has been connected, an automatic self-test is carried out. The gas alarm emits several loud alarm signals. After a few seconds, the alarm will stop and the POWER LED will light up to indicate readiness for operation.
Is it normal that the unit is warm?
The sensor is heated while the unit is on. For this reason it is normal that the unit is slightly warm.Where do I have to install the gas alarm?
Depending on the type of gas, at the top or the bottom of the wall (see instruction manual).What is the lower explosive limit?
The lower explosive limit is the minimum gas concentration in the air which makes an explosion possible.When is the gas alarm triggered?
The gas alarm is triggered when a gas concentration of approx. 5-6% of the lower explosive limit is reached.When does the alarm stop?
The alarm will sound as long as the gas concentration is higher than approx. 5-6% of the lower explosive limit. As soon as the gas concentration falls back to below this threshold, the alarm will stop automatically and the unit will return to its normal status.Can the unit be triggered when there is no gas in the air?
The sensor reacts to inflammable gases. An alarm may also be triggered by fumes from detergents, paint, varnish, sprays, cooking, tobacco or candles.Can the unit be operated with batteries?
The gas alarm must be operated with 12V DC. The required current of 150mA may be supplied by a car battery. Smaller batteries are not able to supply this amount of power.Can I use the unit in an area under the risk of explosion?
The gas alarm is intended for use in private households, where, under normal circumstances, no gas leak is expected. It is not authorised for the use in hazardous locations.How can I test the gas alarm?
Use a gas cigarette lighter (without the flame being lit!) to test the function of the gas alarm (see "Function test" in the instruction manual).How long does the gas alarm last?
After approx. 5 years of operation, the gas alarm should be replaced.Does the gas alarm react to sleeping gas / knockout gas?
No, there are special alarms for these types of gases.Does the gas alarm react to carbon monoxide/dioxide (CO / CO2)?
No, there are special alarms for CO and CO2.My gas fire/cooker was not lit. I could smell gas but the alarm did not sound.
The odorising substance added to natural gas is designed to be smelt at very low concentrations, which can be below the alarm threshold of the gas alarm. Never try and test the gas alarm by using a gas appliance as there is a danger of explosion! Use a gas cigarette lighter as described in the instruction manual. If you smell gas or the alarm sounds at any time follow the instructions in the manual.The gas alarm emits a continuous low level noise.
It could be due to a low level of gas in the room which is not sufficient to set off the alarm. Check the function in another room where there is lots of fresh air. If the noise stops in fresh air, have your gas installation checked.The unit is making short beeping noises and the yellow LED is blinking.
For your safety the GA 617 has a diagnostic feature. Possible malfunction is indicated by simultaneous beeping noise together with blinking of the yellow fault LED. Please consult the user manual.GB01 Glass Breakage Alarm
The alarm following a previous alarm is shorter than 50sec.

MA80 Alarm and Emergency Telephone Dialler
Can I change the number of times the programmed telephone numbers are called?
Yes, you can select between one and five times (see user manual).
If someone answers the call will the other numbers still be called?
Yes, the dialler will always try to ring as many times as programmed. It will only stop if the alarm is disarmed.Can I extend the telephone cable?
Yes, use a normal telephone extension cable.Can I see on the remote control if the alarm has been set off?
No.How can I test the movement detector without setting off an alarm?
You can activate the "gong" function. Each detected movement will be confirmed by "ding dong" sound.Can I use the unit as an emergency dialler without the movement detector?
Yes, the unit will respond to the panic button when even when the alarm is not armed. If you just wish to use external sensors, the PIR on the unit can be covered completely with one of the stickers supplied.The alarm has been set off although no one was present.
The PIR movement detector reacts to the movement of an anything which is warmer (or colder) than its surroundings. Possible causes of false alarms are for example:- Animals
- Sunshine
- Heaters, air-conditioning, coffeemakers, printers, fax machines or similar devices turning on or off
Remove any such possible sources of false alarms from the field of view of the PIR, change the position of the unit or the direction the PIR is pointing. TIP: you can use the enclosed stickers to restrict the field of view of the PIR.The alarm does not ring the number I have programmed.
Check that the dialling function is activated. If this symbol 
is visible in the LC-Display then the dialling function has been deactivated.The unit is trying to call the numbers but does not get through.
- The telephone number is incorrect or incomplete.
- There is no connection to the telephone line. Check that the telephone plugs are connected correctly.
- If you have an ISDN telephone connection, please note that the unit cannot be connected directly to the ISDN line (S0) but only via an analogue connection onto your telephone system.
- Your telephone system or socket is not wired correctly. Test the unit on a normal analogue telephone socket (without a telephone system) at a friend or relatives house.
- Some telephone systems require a short pause before the number to establish a dialling tone. Add one or more "pauses" as described in the user manual.
- If you normally have to dial a number to reach an outside line remember to include this. It may be necessary to include one or more "pauses" before and after this number.
The unit does not accept my user code.
The settings may have been lost. Try the factory set code or carry out a reset to restore the factory settings.
I can't remember my user code. What can I do?
Carry out a reset to restore the factory settings.Why is the red LED on the alarm unit blinking every 3 seconds?
There is no back-up battery installed or it needs replacing.Can the unit be set to impulse dialling?
No.What does the person who receives the alarm call hear?
They hear an alarm siren. An individual message cannot be stored.Can someone with the same type of remote control turn my dialler on/off?
No. Each remote control is individually coded. The code is "learnt" by the dialler in the factory.Can I use more MA80 devices with one remote control?
Yes, you can activate/deactivate more MA80 devices with one remote control. Therefore, the remote control needs to learn the code from all MA80 devices. Please follow the following steps:- Insert the battery into the remote control. The MA80 must be disarmed (“ARM” must not be visible on the display).
- Open the cover of the connections compartment on the back of the main unit.

PA6 Personal Alarm
How long do the batteries last?
It depends on how often the alarm or the light is used. If they are not used at all the batteries can last up to 3 years. With new batteries at least 15 one minute alarms can be given.
The sound is no longer as loud as it was.
The batteries are near the end of their life. You should replace it straight away.The alarm makes (quiet) noises although the pin is in place.
The pin is probably dirty. Please wipe it with a clean dry cloth.The alarm does not sound when I remove the pin after fitting a new battery.
Check that the batteries are fitted the correct way.The straps on my bag are too wide to attach the key ring.
Use an additional ring or similar fixture to attach the alarm.The cord is too short for my use.
You can use any suitable cord to extend it.RA220F Smoke Alarm
How can I delete already connected smoke detectors?
Push the test button of the smoke detector for 16 seconds until the LED lights up permanently and starts to flicker. Release the button, the LED lights up permanently. Push the button two times within one second. The smoke detector confirms the deletion of the code with a beep.
RA280Q Smoke Alarm
My RA280Q beeps. Why?
You have have activated the muting key of your smoke detector. During the mute mode (ca. 5 minutes), the smoke detector is beeping every 30s.
RA290Q Smoke Alarm
My RA290Q flashes in rapid succession without an audible signal.
If the smoke detector RA290Q flashes 12 times in rapid succession without an additional acoustic warning signal, it is in pre-alarm status. A certain amount of particles was measured in the smoke chamber and a pre-alarm was triggered. If an increased number of foreign particles is still detected in the smoke chamber during the subsequent control measurement, an alarm is triggered. If this occurs sporadically or once, it may be due to insects in the smoke chamber or a temporary dust concentration. If you observe the behaviour regularly, the smoke detector should be cleaned according to the instructions.
SA101 Stove Alarm
The stove alarm signals during normal cooking.
After the stove alarm is installed, it needs to adjust to the kitchen environment. If the stove alarm starts to signal in a normal cooking situation, reset the alarm during the pre-alarm signal. This will cause the stove alarm to adjust its sensitivity.
The stove alarm does not signal in a hazardous situation.
- Test the alarm by pushing the push-button (see manual) until you hear a warning tone. If the stove alarm neither emits a tone nor flashes its light, the batteries may be flat. Replace the batteries (see "Battery replacement" in the manual).
- Set the sensitivity level to a more sensitive level (see "Manually setting the sensitivity level of the stove alarm" in the manual). The stove alarm does not always signal immediately in a hazardous situation. This is because it needs to take into account different cooking scenarios: if it would always signal immediately, too many false alarms would be triggered. If you would rather have the stove alarm to react earlier, increase the alarm's sensitivity by one or two levels (see "Manually setting the sensitivity level of the stove alarm" in the manual).
If the device still doesn't work, ask your retailer.
What to do when changing the cooker?
If the hob type has changed (e.g. from electric hob to gas hob), change the stove alarm hob type setting (see section "Operation" in the manual).How long do the batteries last?
The battery lasts for up to five years. Please find information concerning the battery replacement in your product manual.My cooker does not have a cooker hood.

Unfortunately the Stove Alarm is not suitable for these kinds of cookers.
SL02 Light Controller
Why does the light stay on in the morning even though it is already light?
There can be a delay of up to 45 minutes before the SL02 turns the light off.
Why does the light sometimes go out for a few seconds?
The SL02 turns the light off approx. every 45 minutes to check if it is still dark.Can I use the SL02 outside?
Yes, but only in a weatherproof lantern.Can I use the SL02 with a dimmer switch?
No.After installing the SL02 I cannot turn the light on immediately.
Switch off the light and wait at least 15 seconds, then turn on the light again. If the light still does not work then check the bulb is OK.After activating the unit there was no confirmation blink from the light.
The command has not been accepted. Turn off for 15 seconds and try again (please follow the instructions in the manual exactly).How long is the light on for when the random function is activated?
On average the light will be on for about 80% of the time during the first half of the night. In the second half it will be on for about 20% of the time.Can I change the length of time the light is on?
No.Can I use a timer to switch the unit on and off?
No. The functions can only be activated by the ON-OFF-ON sequences. This cannot be simulated by a timer.Do I have to restart the unit every night?
No, If you have not operated the light switch the function remains active. Switching the light off deactivates the function.ST700 Smart Security System
Important note: The latest firmware has to be loaded onto your gateway. If you don't use the latest firmware version, the functions can not be used in the full extent. In the settings under „firmware update“ you can check if your firmware is up-to-date and if updates are available.How can I connect the central unit with my router?
You can either connect the central unit to the router via network cable or via dlan/ powerline that permits to place the central unit wherever you like in your house.
Can I use the system when my WLAN connection is disrupted?
Yes, the system is still operating. The wireless components continue to communicate with the central unit. However, the app can only be used with WLAN connection. Alternatively, the system can be activated/ deactivated with the help of the wireless remote control.When starting the app OMGuard SHC, it crashes/ doesn't react.
This problem is linked to the reaction time of the app. Please wait for 5 seconds until you connect with the central unit or when you control the system via app to guarantee that no background processes are running any more.My system is activated and the panel beeps, but there is no alarm.
A delayed reaction time has been selected for one or more movement detectors or door/window contacts and the detector has not been added to an activation scenario. Please select an input delay of 0 seconds (no input delay) and add the detector to a scenario.TM02 Acoustic Pressure Mat
Do I have to cover the pressure mat?
The pressure mat should be covered for the following reasons:
- To prevent it from slipping away
- To protect the surface of the pressure mat
- To hide the pressure mat (from burglars/visitors)
- To prevent wear and damage
What can I cover the pressure mat with?
- With a carpet, a mat, a cloth or a doormat
- The covering material must not be too heavy or stiff, since the pressure mat reacts to points of pressure (no coconut mats or similar).
When is the pressure mat activated?
As soon as there is pressure on the mat. However, if the mat stays pressed, no further signal is generated.
The unit does not generate a signal. What do I have to check?
- Is the battery still functioning and has the correct polarity?
- Is the unit switched on (not to "0")?
- Is the cable connected correctly (is the plug inserted tightly) and is it not damaged?
- Press another part of the mat to check its functioning.
- Is the mat wet? If necessary, let it dry.
- Does the mat lie on an uneven surface? There must be no bumps in the mat.
- Are there any stones etc., on or under the mat?
- Is the mat damaged?
The signal is generated for no obvious reason.
- If the mat lies on an uneven surface or gets damp, the sensor may become too sensitive. In this case, even wind or draught can trigger the signal.
- Animals may trigger the signal.
- Switch off the pressure mat, if you do not need it .
The cable is not long enough.
You may cut the cable and extend it by using a two-core cable. The total length must not exceed 30m. Please note: This leads to the expiry of all warranty claims.
How does the siren function work?
If the switch is in the "siren" position and the mat is pressed, an alarm sound can be heard for 30 seconds. The alarm can be interrupted by switching the switch to "0". If the switch stays in the "siren" position, the siren function is still active after the 30 seconds. If the mat is pressed once more, the alarm will sound for 30 seconds again.SPECIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE USE OF THE PRESSURE MAT AS A "CAT DOORBELL"
My cat won't sit on the mat.
The mat must always be covered. Cover the pressure mat with a soft mat or a cloth your cat likes to sit on.
Can my cat be hurt by the pressure mat?
No, the pressure mat is safe for cats. There is no radiation or other danger.My cat is frightened by the acoustic signal.
Switch to the quiet setting or position the alarm unit further away from the door.The unit reacts to people and other cats.
All active pressure loads will trigger the acoustic signal. You should only switch on the unit when your cat is outside and you need the signal function.VT35 Video Door Intercom

ZM03 PIR Mini Alarm
How should I mount the unit to protect an area of the room?
Mount the unit so that the lens is horizontal or slightly tilted downwards. In the horizontal mounting position movements across the protected area will be detected. Mount the unit so that the expected movement will be across the detection area.
 |
Mounting height approx. 1m to 1.50m |
 |
 |
| good sensitivity to movements across the protected area | not as sensitive to movements directly towards the unit |
How should I mount the unit when I wish to protect an entrance?
Mount the unit above the door. The protected area is now like a "curtain".
 |
 |
What does the unit react to, what should I be aware of?
The unit reacts to movement of heat sources. People are heat sources. Other heat sources are for example:
- Pets and other animals
- Paper from a copier, printer or telefax machine
- Warm air from a radiator
- Warm air generated by sunlight
- Air movements caused by air conditioning or fans
When you decide where to position the alarm unit, take into account that such possible disturbances should not be in the field of view of the unit. They could cause an unwanted alarm.
The unit has reacted when no persons were present.
Check what disturbances could have caused this (see third question). If necessary change the location of the unit.The unit reacts slowly or only when somebody is very close to the unit.
How quickly a movement is detected and how far the area of detection will be, is dependent on various factors:- On the temperature difference between the object / person and the surroundings. If there is a larger temperature difference the movement will be detected quicker.
- On the speed of the movement. Very slow movements will not be detected.
- On the direction of the movement (see first question).
- On the ambient temperature. At higher temperatures the maximum detection range and the sensitivity for detection of people will be reduced.
Can the unit "see through" walls, objects or windows?
No, the unit reacts to movement of heat sources to which it is directly exposed. If the unit is pointing towards a wall, curtain or window then it will react to the surface temperature of that material. It will not react to temperature changes behind these objects.
The unit doesn't seem to work.
- Check first of all the battery. Try a new battery.
- Check that the battery is correctly connected and the contacts are pushed on fully.
- If you are using a mains adapter instead of a battery, check the voltage (9V DC) and the polarity (the inside of the connector should be + positive).
- If the switch is on position "0" the unit is switched off. Switch to position "Chime" or "Alarm".
The unit does not react immediately when I switch it on.
When you move the switch to position "Alarm" there is a 15 second delay before the detection is activated.
