Virtual K9 Barking Dog Alarm Instructions
SWVK9
INTRODUCTION
The Virtual K9 Barking Dog Alarm by Streetwise Security Products uses microwaves to “see” through walls and detect someone
approaching your home or business. It can activate an alarm or the sound of a barking dog to scare away an intruder. It can also be
used as an automatic doorbell to alert you to visitors approaching your home or customers approaching your business. There is also
an SOS button on the remote control that will instantly sound an alarm in case of an emergency.
IMPORTANT
1. Do not expose unit to direct sunlight or rain; for indoor use only.
2. Keep the unit away from heat sources such as heaters and stoves as this could affect the detection range or cause the unit to
turn on randomly.
3. The unit monitors 360 degrees but the largest detection range is on the backside. Therefore, when monitoring the front
of your home the backside should face toward the outside wall and the front (with speaker holes) should face inward
toward the room.
FEATURES
1. Long range (50+ feet) remote control works through walls.
2. Detects motion through walls.
3. Three different modes: doorbell (chime), barking dog, or alarm.
4. Eight volume levels can be adjusted using the button on top of the unit. Maximum volume is about 120dB.
5. Remote control can be used to arm/disarm, change sound mode, or activate an instant alarm (SOS).
6. Operates on AC power (adapter included).
7. Battery backup will power the unit for about 10 hours.
DETECTION RANGE
The Virtual K-9’s microwaves can penetrate through dry wall, wood, plastic, glass, brick, vinyl siding and cement (7 inches or less in
thickness). It cannot penetrate through metal.

The diagram below illustrates the detection range based on open space with no obstructions. As you can see the longest detection
range is on the back side of the unit so this side should face toward the area you want to monitor. Detecting through a wall will
shorten the “open space” range shown below depending upon the thickness of the wall. For example, the range when going through a
4-inch wall is reduced from 40 feet to about 13 feet.
POWERING THE REMOTE CONTROL AND THE UNIT
1. Open the battery cover (located on the back side of the remote control) by lifting the outside edge of the cover. Insert the included
CR2032 battery. The “+” side of the battery should face up. To prolong the battery life, remove it when not in use.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the port located on the back side of the unit marked “DC” and plug it into a standard wall outlet. As soon
as the unit is plugged in it will turn on. To turn the unit off press the ON/OFF button on the remote or on the top of the unit.
3. In the event of a power outage, it can also be battery powered. To install the batteries, open the battery cover on the back of the
unit and insert 8 AA batteries (not included) following the polarity diagram on the back of the battery compartment. To prolong the
battery life, remove the batteries when not in use. The batteries will last about 10 hours.

2. Press the Select button on either the remote control or the top of the unit to choose barking, alarm, or doorbell.

4. When you are ready to arm the unit, press the ON/OFF button on unit or on the remote control. The ARM LED will illuminate.

detected), the unit will produce the sound you selected as soon as it detects motion.
5. To turn the unit off press the ON/OFF button on the unit or on the remote control.
6. When the unit is turned on again it will default to the last sound you selected.
