WATCHDOG. 
Installation and Setup.

WatchDog installation is quick and easy. There are five settings that can be programmed.  The easiest way to learn how to program is to watch the videos below.

Each setting can be accessed individually. Also, for basic functionality, only setting 1 and 2 need be modified.

If you make a mistake, just wait for the lights to flash and try again. The WatchDog will exit out of program mode after 45 seconds from the last button press.

Included Accessories: Charging, Fun, and Security.

The WatchDog One comes with the accessories below to reduce clutter, add security, and even some bling for the children.

Remote Charging Dock

Capable of charging two controllers simultaniously, the Charging Base can be powered by any of the USB jacks located in the front or back of the Xbox.

Alternatively, the charger can plug into any USB charger to keep your AV setup clutter free.

Tamper Detection Stickers

Tamper Detection Stickers can be placed over the original Xbox controller charging port to prevent children from circumventing the WatchDog.

Additionally, parents can set a high security code to detect the battery is removed (see programming).

Thumb Grips

The WatchDog One comes with Thumbgrips which can be used to identify different siblings remotes. We provide a few because kids like to customize their remotes.
