Set up a Patrol
Multiple patrol paths can be set up with different names. To set up the
patrol path, users must tap the “path” symbol in the App, provide a
new pathname and manually control the robot to create the desired
path. The patrol path setup must start with Scout in its charging
station. The charging station is the coordinates (0,0).
To complete the path set up, users can either drive the robot to the far
side and hit the “return home” button, or drive the robot back to the
Charger Station, then press the “stop” button to save. Only when the
robot can find its charging station at the end of the patrol path, the
new path can be saved. Scout will remember it, follow the path to
patrol whenever needed, and go back to its charging station once the
job is complete.
The video of each patrol can be stored locally onto the flash memory
inside Scout. When enabled in the setup and human bodies and/or
pets are detected, Scout would upload 13-second video clips to the
cloud server.
To delete the paths, long-press the pathname, an “x” sign pops up.
Tap the “x”, the path is deleted.
Once the patrol path is set, users can trigger patrol using a timer,
triggering events in smart home system (e.g. door sensor), and
Alexa/Google Home/Siri voice.
Due to certain limitations, only one path can be triggered by Alexa or
Google Home at the moment. If not specified, that is the last executed
patrol path.
