Asking Aibo To Work As A Watchdog - Sony ERF-310AW09E User Manual

Asking AIBO to work as a watchdog

It is convenient if you ask AIBO, while in Station mode, to work as a watchdog
when you leave. AIBO sleeps on the station, but sometimes wakes up on its own,
and then looks around your room. If it finds anything moving in your room, it will
take a picture.
Note
This function is not designed to prevent any fire or crime.
1
Have AIBO enter Station mode (see page 16).
2
Say "Guard the house" to AIBO.
AIBO nods to you, and makes a farewell gesture, and then sleeps.
The horn light lights up green.
AIBO wakes up every about 30 minutes to look around the room. If AIBO finds
anything moving in the room, AIBO will take its picture. AIBO can take up to three
pictures until you say, "I'm here" at Step 3 (see below).
z Hint
If AIBO is not paying attention when you say "Guard the house," say "Listen to me" to
AIBO and try again.
Note
The maximum number of pictures AIBO can memorize is 7 including ones taken with
the usual photo-taking function (see page 60). If you ask AIBO to take eight pictures or
more, a new picture replaces the oldest one.
