SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Your SpyderProtect system is comprised of several components:
Gateway
The gateway (Figure 1) consists of the gateway controller, a 4-way
USB hub, and a Z-wave wireless radio. Please note, it is important to
keep the wireless hub in the connection chain between the gateway.
Also do not change the port of the wireless dongle on the hub.
Sensors
SpyderProtect sensors come in various formats and sizes. For example, sensors are available for detecting
temperature, the presence of water, an open door/window or motion. Additionally, special purpose sensors
such as thermostats and cameras are also available. SpyderProtect sensors are designed to be controlled and
monitored from your smartphone (or web-enabled device).
Repeater
In some cases, a repeater will be necessary to boost the Z-Wave signal in your home. Certain Z-Wave
repeaters can doubles as an AC on/off switch. Unplugging a repeater may render the system inoperable,
so it is important to keep all repeaters plugged in (even when not in use).
Your SpyderProtect installer will install the SpyderProtect System to the specications you provide.
Please note that last minute change orders may incur additional fees. Once your system has been set-up,
the SpyderProtect installer will show you the basics of using your new system. Please refer to the
SpyderProtect Manual for detailed instructions on how to use and automate your system.

CREATING BASIC RULES
In order to take full advantage of the BEK SpyderProtect system, rules must be congured in the App. Rules
help automate and control the behavior of the devices installed in your home or business. This section will
guide you through basic rules creation.
Snapping a Photo When the Door Opens
If you have a door sensor and a camera in the same location, you can set up a rule to make the camera take a
snapshot when the door opens. This can be set to happen during certain times, constantly, or only when the
system is armed. For this demonstration, we will set a rule to take a picture when the system is armed:
1. At the main menu click “Rules”.
2. Click “Armed Security System Rules”.
3. Click on “Add a New Security Rule”.
4. You should see a list of conditions (grouped
in devices) that your system can support.
5. Select a door sensor under the “Door/Window
Sensors” group. The sensors name will vary
depending on the naming scheme of the devices
in your home.
6. Select “when [door sensor’s name] detects the
door/window is…” (names will vary depending
on naming scheme).
7. Select “when the [door sensor’s name] detects
the door/window is opened”.
8. Select “Save this condition”.
9. Once the condition is saved, you will see a list
of actions that your system can support. Since
we are using a camera to take a picture; we will
click on “Using the [Cameras Name]…”.
10. Under the Cameras Group, then click on
“using the [camera name], e-mail a snapshot to…”.
11. Enter the e-mail address where you would like
to receive the notications.
12. Select “Save this action”.
13. You should now see the rule appear in the
“Armed Security System Rules” section.

SETTING UP A SCHEDULED EVENT
The BEK SpyderProtect system allows you to create rules that

we will create rules to turn on a switch every day at 5:00 p.m.,
and shut it off every day at 11:00 p.m..

rule that will turn off the switch at 7:00 p.m..
12. Repeat steps 1 – 5, but instead of setting the time
at 5:00 p.m., set it at 11:00 p.m. for step 4, set it to
turn it off in step 9. In the end, you should have 2
rules created; one that turns on the switch,
and one that turns off the switch (gure right).
RECEIVING TEXTS WHEN MOTION SENSOR DETECTS MOTION

event has occurred. In this example, we will create a rule to send a text message if motion is detected.
1. At the Main Menu, select “Rules”.
2. In the rules app, select “Home/Business
Automation Rules.”
3. Click “Add a new Automation Rule”.
