3.4 SMART PHONE SETUP
3.4.1 PHOTO ARCHIVE
It is your responsibility to take photos while conducting Guardian installs. This is to protect
you if there are issues with the install, or the client complains of damage to the vehicle after
installation. You must take photos of any existing damage prior to commencing the install.
At the completion of the install, you must take photos of all the installed components.
SM will ask you for these photos if an issue develops post-installation. This could be days or
weeks after the installation. Your photos will act as evidence of your correct installation.
SM recommends that you use Google Photos (it is free to use) which uploads your photos
into a free cloud storage system whenever your phone connects to Wi-Fi.
Your photos will be stored by date (for easy reference) and backed up even if you change
phones.
Google Photos Setup
Google Photos is a multi-platform application. It supports both Apple and Android devices.
To use Google Photos, you are required to have a Gmail address.
If you do not want to create a Gmail address, you can turn your preferred email address into a
“Google Account”, which gives you the ability to use your preferred email address with any
Google application.
Sign up with your preferred (non-Gmail) email here accounts.google.com/SignUpWithoutGmail.
Using your phone web browser go to
photos.google.com and select your preferred
platform to download the app.
After installing the app, open the ‘Google
Photos’ app from your phone.
